RYE IN THE CoRNFIFrD.

There is one plan that, if generally
adopted by the dairymen, would add
measurably to the pasturage of the
farm and at the same time be benefit
to the soil itself, and this is the prac-
tlce of sowing rye in the cornfield
either at the last working or as soon
as the corn is cut up. In the spring,
long before the pastures are eft" for
turning the stock upon them, the rye
field is a wealth of fine feed and excel
lent. By this plan there is no winter
washing of the land, which is, as rule,
equal in exhaustion to a growing crop,
and by the middle of May this rye sod
can be turned under for corn and is
next to clover sod in value. For sew
eral years the writer has as nearly as
possible carried out this plan and finds
that, with what manure and clover sod
comes IN in rotation, his fields are get
ting better all the time. Two wavs
present themselves to put in the rye
sowing broadcast and cultivating in
with light cultivator, setting teeth as
shallow as good work will allow, SO as
to disturb the corn roots as little as
possible; and the other is to cut up the
corn, having the shocks regular, and
then sowing one and a-half bushels of
rye ON broadcast and narrowing it in
with harrow or disc, the loosening
up OF the ground covering the seed eff
fectually without plowing. There is
nothing equal TO keeping the land at
work, filling the soil with mass of
roots to decay and furnish food for the
following crop, and if it can be done
between crops, as this plan with rye
offers, great gain has been made not
only in the supplying of food to the
stock, but feeding the land as well. i

BEST RESULTS FROM TOMATOES.

When pruned and staked tomato
plants will bear much closer planting
IN the field than if left to themselves
Two feet by four is about the proper
distance. As soon as set in the field
the plants ought to be tied. Set strong
stakes at each end of every row and
brace carefully. Smaller stakes NAV
be set at intervals of two rods along
the rows. These stakes should be
about three and a half feet high. Next
stretch two wires of about the size
used in baling hay along the tops
of the stakes in each row. Take
ordinary laths or small sticks of anv
kind, of the same length as lath and
stick one just at the side of the place
that each plant is to occupy. The
upper ends of the stakes are held in
place by weaving the wires around
the tops of the stakes or laths. This
makes neat and substantial trellis.
The plants are trained to single stems
and tied to lath supports.
OF course, tying must be done at
successive intervals as the plants in
crease IN height until the top of the
trellis is reached, after which nothing
further need be done in the way of
training. Allside roots near the ground
and suckers must be pinched of, as
the object to be gained in stalking
would be lost otherwise. None of the
blossoms are TO be removed. Int
simply the leafy shoots and suckers.
winch bear no blossoms and come ont
near the GIound and 1T intervals along
the main stock. Pruning away these
surplus shoots and tying the plants To
supports exposes the fruit 10 the snn-

than 10y the ordinary method, but be-
cause Of the higher prices obtained for

growers are looking about for some
explanation of the spread of this trou-
bic. In almost all cases a new va
riety 'runs out" as it is called, and
chiefly through the operation of this
disease. New varieties are continu-
ally being introduced-not because
they are much better than the va
rieties that have preceded them
but on account of the older varieties
going back; in fact, no one will con
tend that the strawberries of to-day,
ss rule, are even as good as they
were in former times. 1t is thought
that the old method of cultivation,
which moderns have laughed at, might
not have been such bad practice after
all. The practice was TO grow the
strawberries in beds; as soon as the
crop was gathered the leaves were
mown off with the scythe and burnt,
and n new crop of leaves came up be-
fore winter. With the progress of
vegetable physiology this was thought
to be very bad practice. The argu-
mert was that leaves make food, and
the more leaves the better. This
would be true if the leaves were
healthy leaves but diseased leaves are
worse than no leaves at all. No one
ever thought of the strawberry spot in
those days; in fact a specimen of this
disease was rarely seen. It is now be-
lieved that the practice of moving and
burning the leaves was advantageous
in this, that it destoyed all attempts
of this fungus to propagate itself and
was therefore beneficial rather than
otherwise. It is an illustration of a
point fequently made that though our
were not able to philoso-
phize on their garden practices as
closely as we may, they were able to
find out n great deal from nothing at
all but practical experience. One thing
our strawberry amateurs might do,
which is not done now, and that is to
cut off during the season and burn
every leaf which shows spot as soon
as it is observed. This probably would
preserve their favorite varieties from
degenerating. -Meehan's Monthly.
