THE FARM AND GARDEN
Broom Corn.

The State Herald cannot too often call
the attention of our farmers in the black
belt counties and rich alluvial lands to
the cultivation of broom corn, which
thrives and can be made paying crop
wherever Indian corn WILL but a we'll
drained rich loan is the best soil for it;
and a climate where dry weather at har-
VeSt1ng time is to be expected, is more
suitable than where the autumns are wet.
The only limitation upon the crop is the
demand for its brush to make broom,
and 1t would be well for beginner to
make sure of a market for his crop be-
Tor going extensively into growing it.
The crop Is not poor land crop. AS
the demand upon the soil is heavy, it will
be necessary 20 use thoroughly rotted
barnyard manure and other heterogeneous
manures If the land is not already quite
fertile. The cultivation required is the
same as that for corn or sorghum, and
the seed should be drilled in rows of 4
feet apart, with stalks every 4 inches
down the drill.
None but mature seed should be used,
and they may planted about the same
time that corn is planted in that locality.
If the stalks left in the field after cut
ting the brush are plowed under and the
seed returned to the land the crop may
be grown continuously for several years;
but rotation of crops is better, and
crop of clover. or COW peas turned under
as a green manure will benefit succeeding
crops. -
Absolute freedom from weeds is neces-
sary for a full crop of broom corn, and
as the plant grows slowly during its
early stages frequent cultivation and
sometimes hoeings are necessary. This
work should be very shallow, so shallow,
In fact, that growers speak of the hand
work as "scrapping."
Experienced growers differ as to the
proper time to harvest the crop, although
this is generally done just after the 1all
of the blossoms lest the brush become
too dry. The stalks are cut about 5
inches below the the base of the head.
In harvesting tall varieties the stalks
are bent sharply about 8 feet above the
ground in such a manner that the brush
of one row cross diagonally those of the
next, thus forming platform or table
on which the several heads are placed to
await removal to the drying barns.
where the seed are removed and the
brush cured under shelter, as exposure
to sun or moisture is detrimental to color
and strength. Dwarf varieties are pulled
up instead of being cut off. Great care
is taken to keep the brush straight, as
being crooked or tangled greatly de-
creases the value of the crop.
The nutritive value of this plant is less
than that of corn, but the seed are
slightly less nutritious than the kernels
of corn, the difficulty In preserving them,
because they are threshed green, proba-
bly, accounting for the slight use made
of them as>food. OF late they have been
successfully preserved In an alright sllo,
greatly increasing the feeding value of
the silage by their high per cent of dry
matter,

Irrieation of GARDEN Crops.

Experiments at the New Jersey state
college farm regarding irrigation of gar
den crops shows conclusively that irri-
cation increases the growth of crops
materially.
Irrigation is quite favorable to bush
beans. there being nearly three times as
many pounds of pods upon the belt OF
land receiving water as elsewhere In the
same field; besides the quality was much
superior. The estimated cost for the in
crease of yield Is As cents per bushe1
Peppers were made to yield nearly
double, while egg plants were also help
ed. The leaf development of turnips WIS
greatly increased. The celery crop was
increased to two and one-half times that
upon belts of land not receiving the
water.
In marketable products, in pounds, the
difference was three to one, and in mar
ketable value about eight to one in favor
of irrigation.

ing a brief statement of the results Of his
diversified farming in 1895. He planted
thirty acres in cotton and gathered twen-
ty-three bales. From thirty acres In
corn, 800 bushels. using twenty bushels OF
cotton seed as manure From ten acres
in tobacco he gathered 5000 pounds of the
weed. using 375 pounds of commercial
fertilizer per acre. From fifteen acres
In oats he thresbed 225 bushels and SOW
ed the same fifteen acres to peas, making
10000 pounds of hay. From three-quar-
tiers of an acre he dug 200 bushels of po-
tatoes, and from one acre In sugar cane
made LAT gallons of syrup. A half acre
in rice yielded twelve bushels. He raised
fourteen hogs, only one of which he killed.
It's gross weight was 706 pounds; net,
632. On it's face this appears to be good
farming, but as the expense Is not stated
and the number of plows given we are
left ignorant as to the clear profit.

Peach Tree Pruning

In an address before the last meeting
of the Ohio state society, at Dayton, Mr.
William Miller gave his method of prun-
ing peach trees. He cuts back young
peach trees In planting to straight whips,
and starts the head low. In cutting OFF
the side branches he leaves half an inch
so as to be sure of the buds starting He
shortens in his peaches one-third of the
new growth each of the first three years
He removes no healthy branches from
the inside of the tree. The peaches will
be just as fine and as well colored as
those on the outside. Plums should be
pruned on the same plan as peaches, but
their growth is slower, and they should
not be cut nearly so much. In years
when peaches are winter-killed, he cuts
back several feet before April l. This
brings the head back nearer the ground
and gives a new vigorous growth.
