Improved Corn Cultura.

It appears to have been proved that
the modern method of planting in drills
gives larger yield Of both grain and
stoyer than when crowded into hills.
Less seed is required for drill planting,
and the use of right tools is necessary
for best results. The progressive farmer
uses a planter which leaves track
showing where the row of corn lies.
This is followed before the corn sprouts
with cultivator, with teeth or pads
very narrow and run it as near the row
as possible without disturbing the corn.
This mellows the soil, throws little
earth over the corn row, and when fol-
lowed in couple of days with smooth
ing harrow, the whole surface will be
stirred and left clean. The corn will
be up in day or two. and get good
start before weeds appear AS soon as
the first leaves Of the corn are fully un-
rolled again go over the field with the
smoothing harrow crosswise Of the first
narrowing Again in week give it an
other narrowing, and often fourth and
fifth with several days intervening. The
aim is to harrow so often that no weeds
can start, and SO often that if, in going
overeone way any corn is covered, the
next time will uncover it before it is

Improvements In Haymaking.

On our large western farms, where
the hay harvest continues for any con-
siderable length of time, the four foot
mower has been replaced by one with a
six or seven foot cutter bar. The eight
foot rake has given way to one twice
the width. Other implements have been
added. Clover grows in such luxuriance
in the Iowa soil that the tedder is indis-
pensable. The loader saves time and
hard labor. Stacking in the open air has
proved to be very costly method Of
preserving hay, and our prairies are be-
coming thickly dotted with hay barns,
into which the hay is placed by horse
power. Iowa Farmer

STACK FRAME FOR CURING AND STORING HAY.
to the vines. md loss of pods. To obvi-
ate this difficulty, the station bulletin
describes and illustrates stack frame
for curing and storing the pea vines
The construction is easily explained by
the picture. Two poles are driven into
the ground thA desired length apart. To
these five horizontal planks are spiked,
as shown in the figure, and at each erd
two Q by strips are nailed for supports.
In filling the stack the men begin at
the bottom and throw in hay enough to
fill up to the top of the first plank. Rails
or poles are then laid along from one
end to the other so as to form a second
floor. More hay is put ON this, then
more rails or poles, and so ON until the
stack is completed. 1t may be carried up
to any convenient height, and practical
ly affords series Of shelves, which at
the station were 10 feet wide and 2 feet
high, in which the hay was stored, and
cured in the shade. The whole may be
covered with straw, tarpaulin or a
movable roof of boards. The result is
that the vines cure perfectly, as there are
ample ventilation and no chance for the
hay to spoil In taking out the hay we
are told to begin with the lower floor
and take out from the bottom, thus leav-
ing the top for protection till the last.
In the experiment described the vines
were cut in the morning after the dew
was off and allowed to lie ON the ground
and wilt until the next morning They
were then raked up and hauled to the
stack frame and stacked in the manner
described. Straw was then thrown
smoothly over the top to turn rain No
pods or leaves were lost during the
handling of the vines, and leaves We're
only slightly wilted, and if the rain had
fallen ON the hay before it was stacked
no damage would have been done to it.
This plan can hardly fail to receive at
tention by farmers who want hay with
that peculiar green color that is only
found in shade cured hay.

forms portion of a circle, thus work
ing more easily and enabling the mass
of soil which holds the plant to slide off
readily.
This hoe may also be used in making
the holes which are to receive the plants
more rapidly and of the right shape be-
fore the plants are taken up. In remov-
ing plants this way with adhering earth
some caution is required, says Country
Gentleman, that the soil will be neither
too wet nor too dry. IF too wet, the
common error is committed of pressing
the earth into compact mass, which
hardens as it dries and prevents the
plant from growing freely or badly
stunts it. If too dry, the soil will crum-
BILE off unless great care is used. Press
lightly therefore when the soil is wet
or wait till it becomes partly dried
This way of transplanting may be used
for many young garden vegetables if
the right size is chosen and for the
summer setting of strawberry plants

have learned that no useless chances
should be taken, but the harvest ought
10 begin just as soon as the clover is
ready, If the weather permits--that is.
when the most Of the clover is in full
bloom and a few heads have turned
brown. If the ground is very moist,
prefer waiting day or two, as clover
at this stage requires good conditions
for curing. A dry and hot surface of the
earth is worth more in curing hay than
hot sun. In fact, hot sun is undesir.
able, unless rain is approaching and
the curing must be hastened, as it burns
the grass. A good breeze is far better.
When clover is rank / find it diff
cult matter to cut and cure in the same
day. In some ATTITUDES this is done, but
in most sections there seems no better
way than to start the mower when the
dew is off, which in heavy clover is not
till 10 a. m, and keep it going until
or Q p. m. Turn the heavy punches
about two hours after cutting and rake
into windrows an hour or two later AS
dew blackens clover, it is we'll to
straighten up the windrows so that the
least surface of hay is exposed. Some
times have put it into small cocks.
The next morning after the sun has
warmed up the windrows turn and
loosen them with fork, so that the air
can enter freely. The hay will then be-
gin to rattle when moved and is soon
ready to be drawn to the NOW
The outside moisture is the most in
furious, and it must be evaporated be-
fore hay is put in the NOW. The plants
should wilt sufficiently to loosen the ex-
cess of sap. A good test is the twisting
Of wisp Of the hay. If no sap comes
out, the hay is sufficiently cured, pro-
vided no outside moisture is present.
Clover is often burned nearly to a crisp,
and the leaves are lost. This gives
musty hay and is nearly as bad practice
as insufficient curing No hard and fast
rules can be given. Some days the air
takes up the sap and outside moisture
much faster than others, and some land
is warmer and more drying than other.
Heavy clover usually wants three or
four hours in the swath, and then the
curing should be finished in windrows
or cocks.
have made clover in a small way
under roof, and it was ideal feed The
grass had only short exposure to the
sun, and then was drawn and scattered
over the mows, being turned as needed.
BY this means few tons We're wilted
without any sunburn, and the feed was
grand. 1t was hardly practical test,
as one cannot save crop in this way,
but it demonstrated the value of curing
without undue exposure to the sun, and
hence the advisability of windrowing be-
fore fully cured. Prairie Farmer.
