A Pennsylvania farmer tells the Nh.
tional Stockman how he built cheap
cistern. He struck circle seven feet
in diameter and dug down three feet.
then another circle one foot less in
diameter and dug three feet farther
and broke down the sides TO a slope
then with five foot circle he went

making the cistern in the form of u
Jug. The sides and bottom were
plastered with cement directly upon
the clay, and the top was nrched over
with brick packed up with sand and
cement, and tile was put in to serve
as an overflow pipe about eighteen
inches from the top. As the average
diameter would he little more than
six feet, it would require nearly seven
barrels of water for each foot in depth
below the overflow pipe, over fifty
barrels when the water was seven and
one-half feet deep.
His figures for the cost were: Two
days labor, 80 one-half day of mason.

given in tho same time average yields
OF 60 bushels per acre. For three
years past the best yield by any va
riety was So bushels per acre, by
Boone County White. The largest
yield in 1892 was almost exactly 100
bushels per acre OF air-dry corn, Of the
variety known AS Piasa Queen--a
variety maturing too late for Central
Illinois. The trials for six years indi-
cate that the larger, medium -matur.
ing varieties give the best results.
Among these the Boone County White.
Champion White Pearl and Burr
White represent the most satisfactory
type of white, while the Leaning has
given the best results among the vel
low varieties. The Murdoch has given
the best yields of any early maturing
variety--6J bushels per acre for Ave
years.

arc not to be accepted as correct. In
ordinary circumstances 100 DAYS from
date of planting may be considered IN
a minimum for field corn to mature
fully: late varieties often need l50
days in Central Illinois.
Repeated trials have uniformly
shown that larger yields OF both corn
and stalks are obtained by planting a
larger number of kernels than is GUS
tomsry IN the best practice of Illinois.
From 1000 TO Is, 900 kernels planted
per acre seems to he the minimum for
largest yields at the station grounds.
This is equivalent To 4 kernels per
hill, in rows ut the usual distance for
planting in Illinois. In most Of tho
trials the rows were 3 feet y inches
apart each way. Twenty four varieties
were planted in as many plats, half OF
each having 3 kernels and half four
kernels in each hill. In II of the -
cases the larger yields were obtained
from the thicker planting, the average
increase for the "a plants being about
4. D bushels per acre.
Repeated trials havs shown that. IL
other conditions are the same. there IL
no perccptible difference in the aver
age yield, whether the corn is planted
in hills or in d-ills, the number of
stalks secured influencing this rather
than their mode of distribution. In
many cases IT is more difficult TO keep
drilled corn free from weeds. To se-
cure the largest yield of both corn and
stalks, medium maturing varieties may
be planted Mt the rate of | kernel to
each three inches IN rows 3 feet s
inches apart. Thick planting gives
smaller ears, which increase the labor
in husking. Where the corn is To be
fed without husking the smaller size
Of the ears may be an advantage.
As in each of several previous years,
trials i'll 1892 show that shallow Guilt
vation is better than deep, and that
more frequent cultivation than is
necessary To keep the soil free from
weeds and the surface fairly loose is
not profitable.
No noticeable effect on yield was
produced by removing tassels from
alternate rows.

The next thing is n dose OF physic,

The animal should be secured in n po-

difference OF opinion as TO whether
cold or heat is best, but whichever is
adopted must be kept up continuously.
For recent injury, without much
