Corn Culture.

Up-to-date culture of corn and pota-
toes consists in frequently stirring the
surface of the soil. There is no killing
up, no deep digging and tearing up of
the soil after the crops get a start.
There is little or no hand hoeing.
The weeders, with their three rows
of elastic teeth, do this work to
perfection. They cover two or more
rows at a time, are light to handle,
easy for the horse, do not injure
the roots of the crops, they kill
weeds and they conserve moisture. In
dry weather the very best thing for the
growing crops is 10 keep the surface of
the ground fine. Then it acts as "a mulch,
preventing the loss of soil moisture by
evaporation from the surface of the
ground, allowing the air to enter the
soil, and when there is any rain, per-
hitting it to sink down just where it is
needed. If a crust is permitted to form
on the top of the ground it keeps the
rain from soaking into the soil, excludes
the air, and causes loss of water by
evaporation. Now a weeder is made
30 that when the corn or potatoes are
too large for it's use upon two rows at a
time a section of it can be used between
the rows like a cultivator. In this way
the crops can be kept clean and the soil
stirred till the plants get too large to
cultivate. No farmer can afford to use
hoe in his cornfield or among his pc.
tatoes,

Early.Cut Hay,

Dried grass is q much more valuable
feed than late-cut hay. OF course if
one sells hay he should cut when the
market demands, which ia much later
than is best for home feeding. All
stock does better on early.cut hay, es-
p~ecially COWS giving milk. If you have
early-cut hay to feed, you will not need
near 80 much grain to get good
results. Hay caps are getting mor pop
ular every year. The paper cap seems
to give the best satisfaction. In good
weather hay can be made in the wind
row, the tendency being to not let it
dry up in the hot sun. In general it is
better to NOW late in the afternoon or
in the evening, so that the dew will fall
on the top of the mown grass. AS
early-cut grass needs more drying than
late-cut, it is best when the weather is
good to rake the hay into windows the
day after it is cut and draw in the fol-
lowing day. But many use a tedder
and get in the second day. Grass once
wilted and then cooked will cure, if
covered with a hay-cap, even though it
rains. Those who have never used
caps may doubt this, but let them try
it. A yard square of cotton cloth will
cover a large cock, but it takes time to
fasten such caps on, while the paper
caps are simply dropped on TO the cock.
Hay-caps are a great help, and save a
great deal of trouble and loss in the
quality and value of the hay.

Begin Haying Early.

To secure grass at its best it should
be cut early, perhaps we should say
very early. A farmer with a level
farm, little hand moving, and plenty
of help can rush his haying through in
a few days, and need not begin 30
early as those who must be longer.
On some farms having a southerly ex-
posture grass natures earlier than the
average; also in certain season hay
ing comes on much earlier or later than
usual. Some fields are yellow with
buttercups by the middle of June. Be.
fore the timothy is ready to cut, the
buttercups are too ripe to make good
hay, and such fields are better cut in
June than later. Then the grass is
good and the other growth at its best.
Wait until the grass is at its best, and
the buttercups are of nc value; but,
cut in season. they mako a more valu-
able fodder than late-cut grass. Hay
ing needs to be begun in good season
and rushed right along. The old plan
of wal ling until the Fourth of July or
later usually brings the end of haying
so late that much of the value of the
latest-cut grass is lost. Hayseed is
poor feed for cows, but the best of the
grass goes into the seed in late-cut hay.
1t is far better to begin haying by the
middle of June than to wait until the
Monday after the Fourth, as SO many
do

butter continue heavy.
POTATOES. - Receipts, 1880 bushels.
There has been a good demand for choice
hard stock and prices have been working

A Horse Hay-FOrk,

Many barns are so built that when
their owners are about half through
haying it takes three or more hands to
pitch off and NOW away the hay. We
have known men to pay 50 a day for an
extra hand to NOW away hay. Few
barns are so constructed that a load of
hay car be driven in on an upper floor,
and all the pitching will be down. OF
course this is the best way, but most
farmers occupy barns that were built
otherwise, aud they must do the best
they can. 1t is not the best way to lift
hay up into the top of a barn by man
power, when it can be easily done by
horse power. A horse hay-fork rig
costs less than $40 in cash outlay for a
thirty by forty foot barn, and the only
additional expense for a larger barn is
for track hangers and draft rope, the
trip rope being only a piece of clothes
line, a hundred feet costing only a few
cents. We never saw a rig except our
own, but we sent for it, put it up, and it
has paid for itself twice owe every hay
season, besides unloading seventy or
more loads of silage corn. BY it a boy Of
ten can unload hay over the beam with
another child to ride the horse to draw
up. For a track We used two pieces of
two by four, one top of the other,
bolted together. Over the silo they
are white ash, but for hay spruce will
do. The fork is a double harpoon, but
sings are much used now. They re-
quire a much stronger rig, as half a
load is taken off at a time with two
horses,

Raise Corn Fodder,

The prospect that hay will be eve
shorter than it was last year will set
many Vermont farmers to wondering
whether there is not some more re-
liable crop than grass. Old mowings
are a poor reliance for feed unless they
can be irrigated or top-dressed with
fine manure or fertilizer. OF course
there are grass farms, land which is too
stony and hard and wet to pillow, and
which had better be kept in grass; but
land which a be plowed will usually
bear larger crops of fodder if plowed,
fortified with an appropriate fertilizer
and planted to corn, than if kept in
grass. Corn will stand drouth far bet
ter than grass. A spring drouth means
a short hay crop, and no better substi-
tute can be found than corn. A man
with silo room enough can put in corn
quite late, and secure the crop in good
condition. If he has no silo, he can let
the late planted corn grow until frost
threatens, cut, stock in large stocks,
and get a good article of forage. The
cost of fertilizers is the greatest trouble
with this plan, but when a man buys
chemicals, makes experiments to find
out what his soil needs, and then treats
his land according to the best light hs
can get, he will a v many dollars and
feel far better satisfied than if he fer
tilizes in a hap-hazard way. In any
case, fertilizers this spring will prob
ably be cheaper than hay next winter.

THE horn-hy is present, having ar
rived very early this season. The best
remedy we have seer is kerosene emul-
sion. Dissolve half a pound of hard
soap in a gallon of boiling water, add a
gallon of kerosene and churn with a
force pump five or ten minutes, or un-
til an emulsion is made. To use dilute
with ten to fifteen parts of water and
spray upon the COWS. For this last a
nozzle that throws a fine misty spray is
best. When it hits a fly, it kills him,
and the odor and presence of the
liquid keeps the flies off, while its ap-
plication does not take much time. If
one does not have a spraying outfit, the
emulsion can be applied by a swab, but
care should be taken to not put on too
much at once.
