Narrowing Corn.

Even when narrowing corn over the
surface is done there will be occasional
weeds that will escape, and by two or
three rcpetitions of the narrowing they
will be well rooted. Some of these will
be in the hill, where the cultivator run
through the rows both ways cannot
reach them. In our opinion it pays to
stop the cultivator wherever such
weeds are seen and pull them out It
is true the corn may grow nearly as
we'll, but the weed in the hill will ex-
tend its roots to the middle of the row,
and all the plant food it gets will he
wasted. Hand labor with corn has
gone out of fashion, but it pays to do
some hand labor after the cultivator
has done all it can. Nearly all author
tiles now agree that only shallow cul-
tivation should be given corn, and that
this should be done so as to leave the
surface nearly or quite level. This ia
the best way to save the moisture in
the soil for the dry time that is pretty
sure to come when corn Is caring. We
never knew corn cultivated shallow
and the surface kept level to fail of
yielding good crop, but we have seen
many pieces half ruined by running g
deep furrow between the rows Just as
the corn was coming into tassel This
exposes a larger surface to the air to
be dried out. After each irrigation II
Is always advisable to level down the
furrows.

Farm Notes.

Put in your usual crop of wheat, and
If any change is made, just put it in q
little better than you have done before.
As rule, wheat is put into the soil
too deeply. If the ground is worked
down as it should be, half inch is
plenty deep.
With great majority of our read
ers wheat is the leading money crop.
How to grow it cheapest and best is q
matter interesting to all.
Bear in mind that it is only possible
to make small margin of profit on
wheat at present prices, when all condi-
tions of sowing and season are the
most favorable.
Many farmers have trusted entirely
to the native richness of their soil, and
have allowed the manure to 60 waste.
and have neglected rotation till the
land is run down.
Don't try to sow more wheat than
anybody else, but rather let your aim
be to grow more bushels per acre. We
can only get profit on cheap wheat BY
increasing on former yields.
1t will not take long to snow the
weeds in the pastures and in the lanes,
and it will make the farm look 100 per
cent better, to say nothing Of giving the
grass q chance.
