planting and Cultivation of Corn.

The cultivation of corn should be
gin with the plowing of the ground.
The best depth to plow will depend
altogether on the kind Of soil and ths
condition of the field. Many fields
cannot be plowed the same depth
throughout the whole length. Otter
one end or the other of the field, OF
probably the middle, is low. Their
the side of the hill may be quite steep,
with most of the surface soil washed
off. Low places and these washed
hillsides should not be plowed more
than four inches deep. Give such
spots good dressing OF manure be.
fore narrowing. Another point ir
this section is to avoid plowing wher
the ground is too wet.
On level and moderately dry land,
plow to depth of eight inches. The
round will then hold more moisture
and the corn suffer less from tlouth.
If southern farmers would plow theii
ground in the fall and seed to rye, the
roofs of the growing rye would pre-
vent washing and would catch and
hold the fertility which otherwise
would leach through the soil. In the
spring it will only be necessary to
plow to depth of two or three inches.
Begin narrowing as soon as the ground
will permit, going once each way be
fore planting, OF as many times as is
necessary to pulverize the seed bed.
The distance between the rows OF
corn and the thickness of planting de.
pend entirely upon the quality of the
land, and every farmer must be his
own Judge. In some southern local
tiles one stock every six ieet in
rows four feet apart is sufficient.
When the land is rich more can be
planted
AS soon IA the corn is planted, the
ground should be narrowed again, and
ordinarily the fields should receive
another narrowing just before the
corn comes to the surface. The crop
will not be injured. When the rowe
can be seen across the field, 60 over
with weeder OF an A harrow. Guilt
vate one each way in this manner, then
use an ordinary corn cultivator, going
over the field not more than three
times with this implement. In very
dry seasons, twice is sufficient. Much
corn is ruined by deep and close cul
tivation, for ii the roots are once dis.
turbed, the crop will never fully re-
cover. After the last cultivation, go
through the field once each way with
a small one-horse harrow, which runs
between the rows. If the season has
been at all favorable, the crop will
need no further attention. When the
husks on the ears have turned yellow,

NEW YORK, jan S.-The volume OF
trading in stocks today was on a small
scale, and disposition was manifest In
Wall street TO await the development Of
events before taking on stocks. The SEN
sitiveness of the market to the influence
of foreign events was a leading motive
Notwithstanding the downward course or
interest rates in London and on the con.
tinent, 1t Is clear, that there is need OF
more money abroad. Foreign observers
of good authority offer the suggestion
that the present ease of money abroad is
due to artificial causes on government in
itiative In England it is evident that
the purpose Of this maneuver is to pre-
pare the money market for placing gov
eminent loans at an advantage. In Ger
many it is designed to strengthen conf
dence and help out vast industrial enter
prises which have been undertaken there.
In any event, the effect is to draw gold
from New York under pressure, and to
send American securities home to mar
ket.
The foreign exchange houses assert that
the present level of discount in London
leaves no margin of profit on the special
attraction offered by the Bank of Eng
land on loans to be repaid In gold. The
arriving shipments of American gold are
the cause of current ease In London dis
counts. How long the ease would endure
in face Of a cessation of the shipments Is
doubtful
Meantime rates for money at interior
points in this country are rising sharply,
and 1t Is a question how long the New
York market could look to that source to
replentsh a drain to the London market,
In these circumstances there is little dis
position in American financial circles to
hold up prices of securities merely to af.
ford market for foreign liquidation.
Today's market opening prices were
well down to or below the London par
ity, and SO long as arbitrage selling was
in evidence they were allowed to re-
main there, or nearly so. Later In the
day there was sharp recovery in prices
when the pressure Of the London seliinS
ceased. This recovery was partly due to
London itself, which bought back few
stocks sold earlier in the day on Gen
Whites report of a repulse Of the Beers
at Ladysmith.
While there was no effort to bid up
prices there was good absorption at the
recessions, some very heavy blocks or
prominent railroad stocks being taken on
New Jersey Central was bid up 312 points
on the increase of the dividend rate,
without any SALE Sugar, Brooklyn Tran
sit and some of the iron stocks recovered
sharply from early weakness. Inc oe-
mand later in the day in the general list
found such very light supply that
prices hardened steadily to about Satur-
days closing level. Net losses were re-
duced to fractions where they were not
entirely wiped out.
Dealings in bonds were on small
scale and the tone was heavy with few
rallies in sympathy with stocks. Total
