CORN AFTER CORN.
Fodder Crops Grown without Waste
of Soil Fertility.

Fodder Crops Grown without Waste
of Soil Fertility.
Successive corn growing is wasteful
of fertility mainly because it does not
permit reseeding with clover, by which
means the surface soil is protected
from blowing or washing away in win
ter. In the west successive corn crops
wasted the large supplies Of vegetable
matter that the prairie soil originally
held until the land became too wet
and unproductive for profitable cult
walton. Besides, growing corn for grain
on the same land year after year de-
yeloped so much corn smut on the ears
that the crop could not be longer
grown.
But where corn is grown for fodder
and sown so thickly that it win not
ear two or three crops of corn it may be
grown in succession and sometimes
with advantage 1t can only be done,
however, by sowing with the corn aft
er the last cultivation some crop that
will make a covering for the soil dur
ing the winter.
Rye and crimson clover sown to-
gether in August make a good com
bination. If it is in a locality where
September sown crimson clover will
live through the winter, that should be
sown alone and in August if possible
so as to get better growth before fall
We should advise sowing some crimson
clover seed with the rye in September,
even where the winters are severe
The grain will protect the clover to
some extent, and if the clover is killed
out it viii fertilize the grain in spring
Then in winter draw all the manure
that the previous corn crop has made
to the land, and spread it evenly. This
will be still further protection for the
crimson clover The rye and some
clover will make an early growth In
the spring, before time to plow them
under for another crop of fodder corn.
After two or three crops of corn
grown thus the land should be seeded
with red clover, whose roots will &c
down to the subsoil for fertility thai

American Cultivator in presenting the
foregoing advice.

Agricultural BrevitIes.

1t has been thought that the weedel

but the south Jersey and Delaware
growers are reported as using it with
much success this season by shorten
ing the teeth that run over the ridges
SO the plants are not harmed, while the
long teeth work the ground between.
The tent caterpillar. or forest worm,
has made itself severely felt this sea

regions it has defoliated the naples OF
sugar groves. The strip made from
such trees is of SO inferior quality as

A yellow kind is much liked. No cul-
tivation is required when sown broad

as potatoes. The tops should be cut
away. If covered with sand, they will
not wfther. but may start to grow il

months. One ounce of seed Is enough

The southern cowpeas in the north

in thin soil, with much yigor and make

go days, roofing very deep. We have
dug out roots that went down in

was more to follow after. The land
should be made good and the peas-or
rather beans, for beans they are
should be drilled fairly well into the
ground. Some put in few oats, but
whether this pays we have doubts.
These peas should not be put in before
June /, when the soil is both hot and
fairly moist, but after this they will
grow without much rain. They should
not be allowed to get too ripe before

Many poisons were tested upon the
cucumber fields of Long Island during
1897 and 1898, including paris green,
laurel green, green arsenite (arsenite of
copper and lead arsenite. These were
applied dry, in water, in bordeaux
mixture and in resin lime mixture,
alone, and in various combinations
Geneva IN. Y. station bulletin 1853.
Green arsenite dry gave best results.
1t was found waste of the poisons to
apply them in bordeaux mixture, as
the mixture SO repealed the insects that
they would not eat the sprayed vines
to secure the poison. These poisons, APP
piled in water, are liable to burn or
stunt the plants. 1t is necessary, then,
if we wish to poison the beetles to use
trap cropto attract the insects and to
apply the poison to this crop instead of
to the plants we design to protect.

cradle woman. SICK De-
cause she doesn't know any better. Sick
because she doesn't really know why.
Sick because the organs that make her a
woman are not properly performing their
functions and so are sending nerve mes
sages with aches and pains and distress all
over her quivering body.
Nine-tenths of women's sickness comes
from disorder of these special organs. The
symptoms are various-the cause the same.
Headache, backache, nervousness, wake
fnlness, neuralgia and fifty other troubles
of women may nearly always be traced di-
rectly to feminine weakness or disease.
When the most important organism of a
woman's body is disordered her whole
physical and mental system is upset. The
only way to find comfort is to cure the real
cause of the misery. Local doctors in gen
eral practice are frequently so hurried and
rushed that they treat the symptom and
not the disease. They give woman medi-
cine for headache when the headache Is
due to the reflex action of the uterine
nerves. They may give her good medicine
but for the wrong disease. Thousands of
women after years of encouragement,
have written to DR. R. " Pierce, of Buffalo,
N. Y, and now thank him for their re-
newed health and happiness. For over
thirty years DR.. Pierce has been chief con-
sulting physician at the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute. 1t was over thirty
years ago that he began to use his Favor
tie Prescription y in his practice.

Buckwheat In orchnrda.

There is no grain crop that can be
grown in orchards with better advan-
tage than buckwheat, says an ex-
change. 1t is not exhaustive, and it's
broad leaves shade the soil so that it
does not make the land dry as other
grain crops do. Besides, one of the
effects of buckwheat growing is to
keep the soil mellow SO that every rain
will soak into the soil instead of re-
naming on the surface until wind
and sun dry out the moisture. 1t is
the practice Of some orchardists to
sow buckwheat in orchards two or
three times each year, blowing under
the growth as soon as it is in bios
som or before. This fills the soil with
vegetable matter, making it very por-
Gus.

Growing Endiye.

AS endive is used mostly in the fall
months. the main sowings are made in
June and July, from which paintings
are formed at one foot apart each way,
in August and September. 1t requires
no special soil or manure, and after
planting the plot should be kept clear
of weeds until the plants have attained
full size, when the process of blanching
begins. This is effected by gathering
up the leaves and tying them by their
tips In a conical form. This excludes
the light and air from the inner leaves,
which in the course of three to six
weeks, according to the temperature at
the time. become blanched. Another
and simpler method consists in cover
ing up the plants as they grow with
Stats or boards, which serves the same
purpose, by excluding the light, as the
tying up.-Up to Date Farming.
