The first great lesson that we must
learn to avoid waste. That has been
the curse of farming We pay taxes on
land that we do not farm we only half
cultivate our fields, and so waste both
land and labor; we have a large per-
centage of a crop IN field; we waste
time and capital Rising inferior ami
mails; we waste money in buying what
we should raise ourselves; we waste en-
ergy in trying to do more than any one
man can do right; We waste opportuni-
ties to improve our condition by staying
away from institutes and by neglect
ing to read papers; we wsste-in a thou.

we are ready TO say that farming

PLANTING THE CORN.

care must be taken first to have good
seed and then TO plant under such con
dirions as will bring quick germina-
ton of the seed and a thrifty start 10

stunted when young. and no after treat
ment viii wholly overcome the effects
of stuntIng.
While IL is best TO plant reasonably
early, it is of no advantage to plant
when the soil is wet or cold, or before
it has been carefully prepared. Better
delay the planting rather than to plant
under unfavorable conditions Corn
is crop that should germinate IN A
short time after the seed is planted,
and the plants should make a steady
growth TO maturity.
Plow deep and thorough. If the
ground has been plowed during the
fall or winter go over it with disk
or spading harrow. It is an item to
have the soil mellow and fine and stirred
reasonably deep.
Taking one year with another, deep
blowing or stirring of the soil before
planting should be the rule, with shall
low, thorough cultivation afterwards.
1t is only occasionally that il will be
best to pillow or cultivate deep after the
plants are up. Generally thorough stir
ring of the soil keeping down the weeds.
and the soil fine and mellow, will give
better results than to pillow or culti-
vate deep.
Rather more and better corn can be
grown by planting in drills than in
hills but it is nearly always done at
an increased cost. In nearly all cases
it will cost more to give clean cultiva-
ton with drill-planting than with hill.
But where the land is free from weeds,
so that the cost of cultivating is not
increased too much, drill planting will
give the best growth and yield
But in an average soil. il is usually
more economical to plant in hills far
enough apart each way, so that cultiva-
ton can be given both ways. One adj
vantage in using only good seed and
planting under the most favorable con-
ditions Is that just the number of plants
wanted In each hill, that many kernels
of corn can be dropped.
/ While it is better to thin out than
to replant, both of these may usually
be avoided by using good seed and TAX
