Green Corn for Market.

Where there is an easily accessible mar
ket this is a good crop for the, ordinary
farmer, as we'll as the market gardener,
to grow, On good soil with proper prepa-
ration and good cultivation, using a pro-
life early variety, adapted to our climate,
it is not a difficult matter to make 1890
dozen ears per acre, and any farmer who
really understands this can do so with
"Blount's Prolific,n variety that we
have grown for this purpose for twelve
years, and always with satisfaction We
have often commended it to home garden
ers, and do not remembera single instance
where they were not pleased with il or
discarded it for any other variety. 1t is
not quite so early as some other smaller
kinds, but far more productive of better
sized ears than other kinds.
On really good land, planted and culti-
waited right, with six square feet to the
stalk, it will usually average two ears
to the stalk. Cutting the still green and
succulent stalks soon after taking OFF the
green ears, what a mass of good forage is
also secured for the mich cows and work
stock Not frst-class quality of forage,
to be sure but a good second-class at any
rate. that will answer every purpose from
June to October, obviating any necessity
for purchasing or using up the less bulky
forage that can be preserved for later
use The variety mentioned is the very
best for late planting also. Planted early
in or 315-foot rows, with stalk every
"a or 1S inches in the row, properly Gull
tivated with harrow cultivator or sweep,
a crop that will astonish the natives will
generally result.

The Basis Of Content.


A farmer who owns his own home has
that which is better and safer than ten
times the amount invested in any specu-
lative pursuit, says the Farm and
Ranch. He has the foundation for
steady prosperity without risk of calam-
ity or fear that some shrewder man will
be able to wreck him financially. Then,
with health and good management, as
far as worldly treasures are concerned,
he is safe Such men are the best citizens.
But we are told that not every man can
own home, but the large majority must
work for others, giving for the privilege
all the profits about scant living. This
is only too true. The word has not pro-
crossed to that point where the extremes
of society are about to meet. There will
always be class who will never own
homes, because they are not willing to pay
the price, which is industry, intelligence
and self-denial
Only last week the writer heard man
of family and member of labor union,
in reply TO an inquiry, say he had thrown
up good situation because the pay day
had been changed from Saturday to Mon
day. 81 believe it is better to have your
pay Monday said a companion. But
what on earth is man to do Saturday
night and Sunday2' Now this man had
children scantily clad and poorly fed, and
yet his highest idea of business was to
work all week, get his pay, and spend it
in saloons, gambling tables and base ball
parks on Saturday night and Sunday,
and that all money on hand Monday morn
ing, and the little driblet obtained from
him by the Importantly of his wife, is
that much actually wasted for bread and
meat or clothing (Which might have been
CIR tod NV h 20 10 a
more washing or sewing,) which might
have been spent for beer, or otherwise in
having good time
During the conversation there were at
least a dozen laboring men present, for it
was at a restaurant eating counter, and
not one took issue with this view, but a
large majority tacitly agreed that the
argument was q cllncher Such men as
these will always be abundant, but it is
the duty of every good citizen to make
their number as few as possible. A coun-
try without homes is fit field for the
anarchist. Liberty was born in the
country home, and cannot live and -four

Cultivating Melons.

In selecting piece Of land for melons
chose one with a light sandy soil, one
that was mellow and porous and fully
permeable to heat, air and moisture, says
1. w. Deck in Stockman and Farmer.
The same land had been cultivated to
cotton the year before and produced $50
pounds of seed cotton per acre.
The land was broke broadcast in
March, and in April rebroke cross
wise. The earth was excavated to a
depth of eighteen inches and about three
feet square, for the hills, at distance of
about eight feet each way and filled about
four inches deep with corn cobs, then
blled to a level with the surface with
rich earth to which had been added one
pound of super phosphate, one gallon of
hard wood ashes and two pounds of cot
ton seed meal-double the amount of
rotted cotton seed will do. The melons
were planted the last of April.
About eight days after the young plants
made their first appearance they were
thinned out to one in each corner and the
ground plowed and narrowed thoroughly,
throwing the dirt toward the hills. I
continued to pillow and harrow at short in
tervals until the vines had attained a
growth of two feet and then all
cultivation ceased except a small
amount of hand wedding where it
was necessary. AS soon as each run
ner or lateral had a perfect melon on it
the end was cut off, and after there were
from four to six laterals each with a per-
feet melon thereon, the end of the main
vine was cut off. l busted the vines freely
with air Stacked lime to prevent bugs
from injCring them. OF of one of the
vines procured a melon that weighed 1902
pounds, and ten of the largest weighed
739 pounds.
Intelligent melon culture pays, and pays
well. Taking into consideration the
amount of labor thereon and cost of fer
tilizers, there are but few. crops which
pay better, bringing in the money at a
time when to the ordinary farmer money
is apt to be scarce. am of the opinion
that good melons may be raised with as
little expense as poor ones, and much
greater profit. Where other fruits, such
as apples, peaches, pears, etc, are de-
stroyed by frost, melons are doubly valu-
able. Unlike other fruits there is no off
year with them.
AS the fertilizers are applied exclusively
to the hill, there is no land so poor but
that it will, with intelligent culture, pro-
duce paying crop. The cultivation of
the soil between the hills simply serves
to retain the moisture from one rain till
the next. Melons do not require deep
blowing, but surface cultivation. One
acre planted to melons and cultivated as
above will net the fortunate possessor $3.50
to $500, besides furnishing the family
with an abundance of healthy, luscious
fruit. Which pays best, wheat at $50 per
acre, corn at $40, cotton at $40, or melons
at $500 JOHN w. DELK.

The Hog.

Our farmers Institutes have seen the
birth of many a queer idea, valuable sug-
gestion or humorous episode and some of
the papers read upon these occasions are
worthy of further dissemination, says
the Farmers Review, THE hog" doubt
less deserves all that can be said in his
praise, and although the Missouri writer
of the following tribute and ode perhaps
laid the butter on little too thickly, the
toast may be relished by many, hence its
publication here:
For 5000 years the hog has been the
object of derision and contempt. So in
tensely has he been despised that to hate
him has been pleasure. So bitter was
the antipathy, that herdsmen, keepers of
the hog, were regarded as doors" and os-
traclzed from society. Mankind turned
from him in contempt, and called him I'M
clean, While all others Of Gods Great
ures in the animal kingdom have been
worshiped by heather idolators, the
hog alone was supposed to have wallowed
so low in the mire of corruption and
nastiness, that no tongue in heather
lands could be found to do him reverence
No knee could bow to worship at his
shrine-a wandering vagabond, an out
cast, a scavanger, left to ''root hog or
die" The devils entered in, took pos
session of his passions, and baptized him
in the sea. But behold admlst all this, he
"saves his bacon and lives, takes a new
route" and phenix-like, he rises from
the ashes The hog acknowledges no
superior Attempt to drive him, and he
will fright about" and stand face to face
with any man, and with the daring BRAY
cry of Napoleon, he will charge through
a solid phalanx. Behold him-bred so fine,
with blood so blue that his nose is now
turned up at all mankind. He supplies
hungry world with meat so sweet and
nutritious that it is sought after by rich
and poor Armour, I" the rich. He is fur
nishing the grease to run the machinery
of the world Theo busy spindles and
looms hum night and day. oiled with his
lard The wheels of the ponderous trains,
groaning under the weight and commerce
of the nation, are fabricated with his
fat. The boot and shoe trade of civiliza-
tion is made to hustle with his bristles.
Wealth and lucre recognize in him the
''almighty dollar, and bow in submission
to his sway Intelligent and dignified
yeomanry listen for whispers Of his wants,
and, anticipating his needs, hasten to sup
ply them. States and nations send learned

Poultry Raising.

A few rules observed and the requisite
personal attention given to a few details
of daily management and poultry keeping
is very pleasant and profitable feature
of farm life.
Through the lack of proper care it is
not always made even one-half as profit
able as it should be, not that we would at
tempt to make money crop" of it, but
It's value to the domestic supply of the
household should be very greatly in
creased
Situated as favorably for the purpose
as most of our southern farmers are their
poultry could be made to supply a large
proportion Of the animal food necessary
for family use, and food, too, SO much
better adapted to the use of wife and
the chief, if not the whole, reliance of the
country home for at least eight months
of the year Eggs and chickens are about
as great a rarity on the table lof many of
our small farmers as upon. the tables of
city mechanics.
And many of these farmers, or their
wifes, will allot their egg or chicken
money to some special purpose, as for in
stance, to provide coffee, tobacco, sugar
cloth of some kind, and denying them
selves and their children the wholesome
strengthening food that they ought to
have.

VARIOUS FARM TOPICS.
Composing in the Drill.

When farmer has good shelters and
plenty of materials for making compost,
there is no danger of his running short of
interesting work for the bad weather of
winter A thrifty farmer who determines
to attain the highest success possible,
and to conduct his work on business prin-
ciples, knows that he must have as few
idle days as any merchant, banker or
manufacturer. He provides suitable work
for its appropriate season, and does not
permit work that can be done indoors to
incroach upon time that should be devoted
to outdoor work.
When he has the necessary shelter
which he will have if half afarmer-he is
sure to allot the work of compost-making
to the time of freezing, rainy weather in
December and January.
AS an average thing the winters of our
latitude do not afford, perhaps, more than
twenty days altogether, when all outdoor
work is barred and the southern farmer,
when not engaged in blowing and manur-
ing, can employ himself in clearing up in
ditching. in fence-making and in improv-
ing his farm buildings, when the northern
farmer must necessarily be comparatively
idle.
When farmer has good supply Of
cotton seed for fertilizing purposes and a
quality free from trash and stalks, it can
very profitably be worked up into COM
post, according to the usual formula.
But, as a general rule, we have found it
a more economical plan to compost all
the bulky manurial material about the
farm right in the burrows when it is
wanted for manure.
Have the land furrowed in due time in
November or December, and from time to
time gather up all vegetables and animal
matter that by decomposition may be
converted into plant food. Haul
1t out and distribute 1t
evenly in the burrows in
quantity according to quality. After
sprinkling it with acid phosphate kainit
mixtures, list on the furrow, and then
leave it, to be well prepared at planting
time. This application in the burrows
can go on any time from November to
January, excepting only when the soil is
very wet.
If that large class of small farmers who,
to put it mildly as possible, are not
averse z to that leisure that winter
weather seems to warrant, would spend
more of their time before Christmas in
doing work of this kind they would soon
realize an improvement in their circum-
stances Some are deferred from this
practice, possibly from an impression
that a waste of fertilizing material fol-
lows this early application of manure,
which is not the case, TO any appreciable
extent
II is practice, in fact, that is economi-
cal in the highest degree and should be
more generally followed.

really need, its value Is fully returned in

convenient for the settlers, and when the
Young chicks are Matched out DO not feed
them Tor twenty-four hours, and from the

IN shallow iron vessels. COn6ne the hen
and brood to small coops until the chicks
get strong-at least one week.
Have one cock to six or eight hens so as
TO insure fertility Of all eggs.
These rules observed there is no reason
why poultry keeping should not be a
pleasure and profit. As in everything
else, poor care, poor results; good care,
good results.

If the new land is fertile, of course it
can be made to produce strawberries, but
as a rule, we believe we would prefer old
land: If you conclude to use the new
land for setting Strawberries this fall, af-
ter blowing it give it good rolling be-
fore setting the plants, and what little
cultivation you give the plants after
ward let it be just as shallow
as possible-just enough to keep the
weeds in check. If the soil is not rich
give good top dressing this fall of some
good compost, into which phosphate and
potash enters freely. Do not plow the
soil, but rely entirely on mulching next
spring New land unmulched dries out
very rapidly under May sun, and, of
course, would produce very smail 5er-
ries unless it happened to be a rainy
month. which cannot be relied on.
