Gager, attorney for the defendant, demurred to the complaint on the ground that it was not specific enough. The complaint was then amended and Mr. Gager demurred again on the ground that it was not particularly stated just what were the acts of neg ligence alleged This demurrer was overruled and the defendant then filed motion to have the plaintiff make more specific statement of facts. At torneys Watrous & Buckland, repre- senting the railroad company then moved that this motion be stricken off on the grounds that it came too late. It was this motion by the plaintiffs attorneys which was granted on the ground that more specific statement cannot now be considered.

EXPERIMENT STATIONS.

Farmers should ever bear in mind
that these stations we're established
and are supported for their benefit. AS
their name indicates, their leading
work should be the making Of expert
ments to clear up doubtful or obscure
points. Farmers are not always pre-
pared or have not the required appli
ances to make the necessary expert
ments to clear up points which arise in
their experience. Let them not be
backward in such case 10 call on the
experiment stations to do the work for
them. If it involves a general prin-
ciple, station workers would be glad to
do the work. Let the farmers keep in
close touch with their experiment sta
tions, is the sound advice Of the South
ern Cultivation.

PaAs on sTuBBLR LAND.

Weeds and grass viii succeed the
harvested grain, and will do no harm !;
in fact will do good, by adding humus
to the soil, but the quality Of the hui
mus they supply is greatly inferior to
that which peas will furnish. The
former have little nitrogen gathering,
or subsoilipg power, compared with
the peas, and il corn is to occupy the
land the following year, the stems Of
ragweed become the abode Of insects,
which renders it very difficult to get q
stand Of corn on stubbIe land, says
Southern Cultivator. Peas may either
be soWn broadcast or cultivated In
drill. If the land is rich 90 the peas
will grow of rapidly and take posses
sion of the land quickly, they may be
sown broadcast; If the land is medium
or rather poor il is better to plant in
drills and help the peas by cultiveting
them some. Generally one or two
plowings viii be all they need. Plant
in drills three feet apart, and drop five
or six seed every eighteen inches. Some
corn planters can do this work very
satisfactorily. The improvement Of
land through the agency Of peas is
much facilitated by manuring the peas
with acid phosphate and muriate Of
potash, say 300 pounds Of phosphate
and 80 to 100 pounds Of potash to the
acre. Such application viii make the
peas grow much ranker and the fertili-
zer will not be lost, but retained for
the next years crop, either in the pea
vines or in the soil All mineral plant
food present in decaying vegetable
matter (as in buried pea vines) is avail
able to growing plants and is less apt
to affect crops iDjuriously ia case Of
drought. So it is good plan to apply
fertilizers to q pea crop for the benefit
Of the corn or cotton crop which il 10
follow the peas the next year.

a friend who makes no effort to save
the manure from 80 to so hogs and q
good many hens. and who draws out
the tub from his closet and dumps it
any where to get rid Of il. asks il these
small sources Of manure are worth
paying careful attention to. As he
lives in the West, where land was new
and rich, it is no wonder that he has
been careless along this line in the
past. But il / were on his farm now /
should save carefully the hog and hen
manure at least. Will give you the
value Of the above named kinds of
manure, as taken from the New York
Farmers Institute Bulletin, which is
urquestionable authority. At the
prices that nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash would cost you, at whole
sale in market, ton OF solid excre-
ment, fresh, from swine, would be
worth % 25; from human beings, $4 10.
The urine from swine, So 10; from hu
man beings, 50 90. Fresh hen manure
is worth 81 80. After it became dry,
Of course it would be worth more per
ton. I should feed hogs, myself, on
rough cement floors, il making bust
ness Of raising or feeding them, and
save all the manure, and get it onto
my land without wash or loss. With
bedding to absorb the liquid one could
make good deal of manure from 30
hogs. The hen manure will not ordi
nari1y be as important, but should
dust it with dry soil or land plaster
often, for good Of hens, and gather it
up and pack away in barrels, or some
way, so as to save il. The human ex-
crement is rather small matter. 1t
might not pay TO save it for its manur-
ial value. But for health's sake it
should not be allowed to soak into the
earth. And if we take that much care
we may as we'll sayei it for crops. We
use large galvsn'zsd iron pals, which
are emptied in the manure in shed as
they get full. Some absorbent and
deodoriEer is needed for these pals, or
tubs. We use dry muck, gathered in
summer. Dust, dry soil, sifted coal
ashes, land plaster, ETC., can be used.
Dry muck is the lightest and best when
you can get it. There is no possible
contamination Of air or water on our
farm from our closets. We have box
in the end Of each closet large enough
to hold a years supply Of absorbent. A
little shovel takes the muck, or soil
from hole at the bottom Of box, on
level with seat. As it is used more
falls down. We do not keep hogs OF
hens, or should practice just what

CARR OF coRN.

vsFoR GOOD CokN CROP
Cultivation should begin before corn
is planted, but most corn being planted
at this time neceesitates q different
method. The right cultivation at the
right time insures full corn crib, and
that is what every farmer should have
this fall. When the corn Is from two
to four inches tall, deep cultivation
close to the hill is impossible, although
that is just the time when the space
between the rows should be ''dug up"
Keeping the space between the rows
mellow when the corn is below knee
high gives O chance for the main roots,
as they shoot out from that time on to
make rapid progress in their search
for plant food. As the corn plant re-
ceives large percentage Of it's growth
from the soil, it is important that we
do everything in our power to hurry
it along in its development. II we
were to cultivate first shallow, then
deep, we would be doing a greater in
jury than we would to neglect cul1i
waiting at all.
DON'T OUT THE ROOTS.
Long before we are aware Of it the
corn plant has sent roots away out un-
der where the cultivator teeth run,
and If we do the work right we must
gradually work the cultivator teeth to
the surface, so the last time over they
won't run over an inch deep. This
gives an opportunity for the long zoots
to send out small fibrous ones that are
continually branching out and pene
trating the surface after moisture and
plant food.
LATE CULTIVATION.
It is easily seen that TO make prac,
tice Of going through the corn after
harvest with one horse double shovel
plow cannot help but destroy these
small roots, which retards the develop
ment of the stalk, besides shortening
the ear. as well as the kernels. Not
that it is not practical to keep up the
cultivation of the soil, for it is neces-
sary if one expects good crop OF q
good quality, but use judgment in all
things, and when you do piece OF
work study the logic Of it so that you
may understand why you are doing it
and follow the most approved methods.
