CLEAN CULTIVATION OF CORN.

There is good deal of common
sense in the suggestions of a CORE
spondent of the Country Gentleman.
w. II. Stewart, who writes from Ma
con County, North Carolina, on the
clean cultivation of corn. His ex-
perience serves to show that care and
cultivation pay. This is what he saws /:
The past year l have made one more
o1 many experiments, tending to show
the results of clean and frequent culti-
walton of corn. 1t is too commonly
considered that the culture of this and
other similar crops is needed only to
keep down the weeds. And when the
weeds are subdued the corn will 90 on
and make full crop without any
more attention. Tins the habit of
''laying by the corn" has come into
practice generally when the crop is so
far advanced as to keep ahead of the
weeds, if possible, or at least has vigor
enough to grow in spite of them.
This / have always contended is a
mistake. The corn needs all the food
it can get out of the land, and al
though there may be no weeds to
rob it, yet the frequent culture of the
land is indispensable to the full supply
Of food for the crop. The feeding
roots of corn are to be found very near
the surface. l have seen them ex-
posed by washes, between the rows,
after heavy rain, completely filling
the ground; and have traced them
across three rows on each side of the
plant. This gives spread of roots
for at least nine feet on each side of
the plant, and spreading in fine net
work not more than three inches deep
IN the soil, 1t WAS this experience
which caused me to contend viRor-
ously against the practice once advised
to corn growers, to prune the roots SO
that new feeders might be forced into
Growth, and thus increase the vigor of
the plants. | never could understand
how the destruction of these active
roots could be otherwise than a serious
check and damage to the crop, by ar
resting its growth at most critical
time, and thus denounced the error as
delusion and a snare. But il fortu-
nately had short life, and We hear
uothing of il now.
That these tangled, matted roots are
the real feeding organs of the corn
plant is shown by the result of frequent
'hallow culture of the soil. The effect
Of this is undoubtedly to liberate
food from the soil by aiding in the de-
composition of the organic matter in
IT, by that well known ability of porous
substances TO take in oxygen in great
quaglit5f ~aea~ thus become deeom.

PORK PICKLE.

A Subscriber" wants ga recipe for
picking pork sweet the year round. "
A ''Subscriber" to another farm paper
says: Have your pork barrel perfect
ly tight-if it leaks the brine your
pork will be ruined. Begin by put
ting a good layer of salt on the bot
tom, then cut your ''side meat" into
pieces of convenient sue and make
tight, closely fitting layer of meat
on this put another layer of fsalt, pack
ing all the crevices full; then another
layer of meat, and so on, alternating
with salt and meat until all is packed
or your barrel is about full. Don't
put on particle of water, or sugar,
or syrup, or anything except salt.
The juices of the meat will dissolve
the salt and make pure, sweet brine
that should completely cover the meat.
Put board with stone on the top
to hold the mass firmly down
and your work is practically
done. Remember, on no account
should a particle of joint or
bony piece go into this barrel-the
joint fluid will within even a day or
two ruin the brine. If all this has
been properly done-your meat per-
fectly clean and free from all bloody
pieces, as it should have been-noth-
ing more remains to be done. Bnt
usually it is safest after about six
weeks to pour the brine off, heat it
until 1t comes TO boil, then care
fully skim off all impurities, let it
cool and then pour it back again, and
If at any time there should not be
enough of brine to completely cover
the meat some must be prepared and
added. 1t should be borne in mind
that the great essentials to success
are strong, pure brine, plenty of it,
keeping the meat covered with it, and
the exclusion of all joints, bones, and
bloody pieces OF meat. Pork pre-
pared and kept in this way will keep
sweet and'good for years.
For making bacon the curing pro-
cess is the same as that above de-
scribed, the pieces to be taken out as
soon as sufficiently salted, and then
smoked the same as the hams. Farm.

In many respects the North Pacific
Ocean resembles the North Atlantic.
A great warm current, much like the
Gulf Stream and of equal magnitude,
called the Black Stream or Japan cur
rent, runs northward along the east
crn shore of Asia. Close to the east
coast of Japan it flows through ma
rine valley which holds the deepest
water in the world. IL was sounded at
a depth of five and quarter miles by
the United States steamer Tuscarora
in 1875, while surveying for pro-
jected cable route between the United
States and Japan. The heavy sound
ing-weight took more than an hour to
sink to the bottom. But trial was
made of a chasm yet more profound,
where the lead did not fetch it up at
all. 1t is the only depth of ocean that
yet remains unfathomed. San Fran

POULTRY NOTES.
A lazy hen is never a laying one.

A lazy hen Is never laying one.
Fresh eggs are heavier than stale
ones
Glover will supply all the lime hen
requires.
Common dust is the best extermin-
ator of lice.
Laying hens should be separated
from non-layers.
If you crowd your hens you must
expect fewer eggs.
Hens and ,ws should not be given
the same quarters.
Lime in some form should be sup
piled to the chickens.
Grit should be kept where the fowls
can get it at all times.
The eggs from fat and clumsy hens
are generally infertile.
1t is harder to fatten fowl in the
winter than in the fall.
When grain alone is given it is the
most expensive of all feed.
Inbreeding tends to increase infer
tility and to weaken the offspring.
Make the nest boxes warm at this
season by using plenty of cut hay.
Egg formation cannot go on when
the hen is suffering from cold or dis.
comfort.
1t is claimed that it is as profitable
to use land for pasture for poultry as
for cows.
Dry-picked poultry keeps better
than scalded and always commands
high prices.
Save all your refuse bones and break
them up for the fowls, who will repay
You with more eggs.
Green food is greatly relished by
poultry and is of great value in pre-
venting constipation.
A lump of stone lime in corner of
the poultry house will do much to-
wards absorbing moisture.
Apoplexy is caused by overlooking.
Many poultry-keepers attribute it to
the use of too much corn.
Wood ashes in the poultry yard de-
stroy the color of the legs of the birds
and often make them Eole.
The non-sitting breeds lay great
many eggs because they are of an ac-
tive habit and do not get fat readily.
If eggs are cheap in summer, on the
other hand the hens will cost litsle or
nothing to keep, so that it Will be all
profit.
After sulphur has been used to fumi-
gate the hen house the building should
be well aired before the poultry is re-
admitted.
Brahmas and Cochins are generally
admitted to be the best breeds for
those to keep who have little or no
range for the birds.
1t is sensible to rake up leaves be-
cause they do not look well, and then
cover the lawn with green manure to
get the same elements.
Green bone contains the materials
for the white OF the egg, the yolk and
the shell, all in a concentrated form
and in a partially soluble condition.
Give your COW good shelter, good
feed of the right kind, pure water, not
too cold, and if she does not then
prove herself valuable ged rid of her.
Rye is an excellent food for poultry
and is particularly valuable in supply
ing green food late in the season, but
it will produce diarrhea if fed too
freely.
A pedigree does not make a good
animal, but he cannot be valuable
one without it, is the saying which is
now having good deal of promi-
nence.
1t is good TO weed out the old hens,
but it is not wise to discard those hens
that are particularly good layers to
make room for pullets wiGh unknown
laying capabilities.
Old fowls are made tenderer and the
flesh more juicy by being confined in
close, clean quarters for two weeks be-
fore being killed and being fed only
on corn and fresh water during that
time,

WINTER FISHING BEGINS.
The Ella M. Doughty Starts out-why
She Has Been Docked All Summer.


The Ella M. Doughty, as smart fish
ing schooner as ever spread canvas,
sailed out of the harbor yesterday for
the first time this season. She has been
docked all summer. Why? because the
owners preferred to keep her idle all
summer rather than entrust her to the
kind of men that are alone aavilable in
the summer. From June till about
now, the best and most trustworthy men
natives of the islands and others, are en-
gagged in fishing for themselves in small
boats. There was feet of $50 of these
small boats bringing fish into the harbor
this summer. But now it is getting too
rough for them and the men are ship
ping in the large schooners for winter
fishing. The crew of the Ella NJ. Dough-
ty are all Long islanders, and men
whom the owners are swilling to trust
with their vessel, but the only men they
could obtain in the summer are of a
different kind altogether.
