FTCsn Ijarnyard Manure.

There is a diversity Of opinion as {,
the best time to apply barnyard manurC
to land. The summing up of the expert
ments carried on ut Ontario (Canada)
experimental farms shows decided
gain for the fresh manure. The best re-
turns are obtained in growing all of
the crops from the use Of barnyard ma
nure as compared with commercial fer
tilizers, and i'll large proportion Of
cases the yields are in favor OF the fresh
manure as compared with that well rot
ted when used in equal weights.
The results seem to show that fresh
baruyard manure gives on the average
greater fertility to the soil than an
equal weight Of manure we'll rJtted.
This subject is a most important one in
she economy of marures, since, during
the process Of thorough rotting, barn.
yard manure loses about 40 per cent of
its weight, to which must be added the
cost of twice handling and that OF
turning once or twice during the proc
ess of fermentation. The reason why
the fresh manure is equal to the rotted,
weight for weight, probably lies in the
fact that the liquid portions of the ma,
nure, the richest in nitrogen, have much
of this most valuable constituent volatil.

Knows the Bible by Heart.

A practically uneducated Baptist
preacher who can recite every chapter in
the Bible, with two exceptions, is now
interesting the churchgoers in the vicin-
ity of Columbia, Ky. This preacher, the
Rev. W. c. Hicks by name, who is only
about 20 years old, recently emerged
from "the bushes, as the mountain dis
tricts are called, and commenced hold
ing protracted meetings at the country
church in Adair county.
His extraordinary quotations from
the Bible led some one to remark upon
his extreme familiarity with the book,
and he then demonstrated his unusual
attainments in that line. Closing the
Bible, he invited persons to call for
different chapters, which he recited in
their entirety with the greatest ease.
He says he has been studying the Bible
daily ever since early childhood, and
that he experiences no difficulty what
ever in recalling any passage or chapter.
In addition to his gifts of memory he is
a very foroible preacher and holds the
attention of immense congregations
through very long sermons. He has Pc
culiar views about some Of the Biblical
utterances and theories, too, and star
ties his Baptist brethren now and then
by some unique ideas of his own.--Chj-

That nitrogen can be obtained from
the air for fertilizing crops, instead Of
paying IL to 20 cents per pound for it
in the form of commercial fertilizer or
ammonia containing substances, has
now been abundantly demonstrated.
Clover and other leguminOus plants, if
their roots are infected with the proper
germ or bacteria, have the power to get
their nitrogen from the air. The little
nodules found ON the roots Of these le.
guminous plants contain minute organ
isms that enable the plant to fix free nj
trogen. Just how this is done is not def
nitely settled, although progress in this
direction is being yearly made by care
full scientists in this country and Eu-
rope. American Agriculturist considers
this discovery one Of the greatest strides
that agricultural science has made Of
late years, and calls attention to the
fact that bacteria is also responsible for
much progress in the dairy, and the eff
feet of certain germs on soils and
plants is coming to be better understood,
so that the farmer can make use Of the
good bacteria and get rid of the bad
ones. These and kindred topics are just
ly receiving much attention at the in
stitutes and other farmers meetings for
discussion this winter.

s HNO GARDEN
SWEET CORN AS A FARM CROP.
Some Of the Advantages Derived From
Growing the Sweet Varieties.


Growing the Sweet Varieties.
It is a matter Of surprise to American
Cultivator that the sweet varieties Of
corn are not more generally cultivated.
Following is what this authority says
on the subject:
The grain yield Of sweet corn is as
large as that Of other corn, for though
the ears are generally small, most kinds
Of sweet coru will bear two, three and
occasionally more ears on a stalk. For
those who merely grow corn to feed, the
sweet variety has great advantages Its
stalks are richer and sweeter than ordi-
nary field corn, If they are cut, as all
corn should be, when the grain has just
begun to harden. Besides this, sweet
corn generally brings considerably
higher price in the market than other
corn.
There are some difficulties in proper
ly drying sweet corn, because Of the ex-
cessive amount Of moisture it contains,
which, with its sweetness, makes its
especial value. But when a sweet corn
begins to dry it dries out more quickly
than any other. If always cut and
husked early, the ears can be placed for
q day or two in an evaporator, which
every farmer should have. In this time
they will dry so much that the corn can
then be put in large cribs without dan
ger Of becoming moldy. But large
! portion of the sweet corn crop is sold in
! its green state and for much higher
prices than ordinary corn brings by the
bushel. Twelve to 10 cents is the price
which green corn usually brings early
in the season. This soon runs down, but
even at the lowest rates corn sold by the
dozen ears brings more than ordinary
corn will after being husked, cared for
until dry and shelled. The price paid
by canning factories is still lower than
that sold to grocers and private houses.
But the farmers near canning factory
have always found sweet corn one of
their best paying crops, and they have
learned to grow it to the exclusion of
ordinary corn, feeding the surplus on
their farm.
Sweet corn when thoroughly dried can
be ground and makes light, palatable
and easily digested meal. Ground with
the cob, mixing a little common corn
and oats with it, so as to make the cob
grind more finely, gives a feed that will
be eaten by all stock and that will be less
likely to cloy them than ordinary grain
meal. But there is a still more profita
BILE use for sweet corn if cut while very
green and its grain sliced from the
green cob and spread thinly in an evap
orator. This, if put when fully dry il
: bags in a cool place, will keep in goot
condition for using after being soaked
in water few hours to regain its orig
inal freshness. Corn so prepared is quit
as good as canned corn and is less trou
BILE to prepare. 1t is easy in almost an.
locality to create a demand for thi
/ dried sweet corn by leaving some a
, stores to be sold or giving a little ol
trial to those who will be likely to be
D come customers. Wherever this evapo
rated corn is once tried it will sool
create steady and paying demand for il

A Kansas correspondent of The Orange
Judd Farmer writes as follows:
The cultivation Of alfalfa has added
considerably to the honey crop of the
United States. No other honey plant
has given such "boom" to beekeeping,
especially in the western states. This
plant stands the drought, and when we'll
rooted seldom fails to produce heavy

subduing a Drained Swamp.

A farmer who has cleared and tile
drained four acres Of swampy land
which has for many years been covered
with bogs tells in The American Agri-
culturist that the sod was so tough that
it had to be broken up with a double
team of oxen. The easiest and most ef
fective method of subduing the land
next spring is to sow corn broadcast for
fodder, and the following year put in
corn or potatoes in hills and cultivate
thoroughly. After that the land may be
