CORN CULTURE.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Of Wayv
Which He Finas Advisable.

l have found the following method
OF caring for corn where it is checked
in. as it is here, the most successful,
writes an Iowa man to The Prairie
Farmer: If corn is to be put in on fell
plowed ground, disk and harrow it we'll
before planting. If the cCrn is to be
planted on ground plowed in the spring,
it should be narrowed twice if the
weather is favorable. Harrow the last
time the opposite of the way you H.
tend planting the corn. You will he
able to follow the mark better and thns
get yonr rows struighter. Test Your
seed o SO yOn may he sure of a good
stand. Follow the planter with the har-
row, taking care that the horses do not
walk in the rows. After three or four
days cross harrow. Never harrow when
the ground is wet, as it will do more
harm than good. The ground should be
just in the proper condition at this har-
rowing, as the weeds have started and
the harrow exposes them to the air.
thus killing them.
AS soon as the corn makes it's appear.
ance harrow again, taking care that the
teeth are set SO but little corr will be
pulled ont. Commence c%ultivating the
corn the way it was planted rs soon as
yon can distinctly see the rows. Run
the shovels close and have the shields
set so that no corn is covered. A six
shovel cultivator gives the best satis-
faction. l prefer a riding cultivator,
and especially so for the first time, as
1t gives me a chance to drive, and the
horses, if they are young, are not going
every way.
Cultivate four times if possible. The
second time through raise the shields a
little and allow the dirt to sift under as
much as it will without covering the
corn. The third time through You
should be able to take off the shields
n cover up all the weeds in the hills.
The last cultivation should he done
with care. Keep we'll away from the
corn and leave the ground az levsl as
possible. Pull out all the mustard and
any other weeds you may be able to.
If you have a large field, take every
other row until half done, then come
back and finish. This will kill all the
weeds in between the rows.
Remember that if you cut many corn
roots You are lessening the crop. A
close cultivation the last time may leave
the field clean, but I have known it to
make 20 bushels per acre less corn.
