FertiIizinr for Corn.

Crops of corn have been reported ex-
ceedilg 100 bushels of shelled corn per
acre, if we remember correctly, but we
do not believe that any man can grow
corn probably if he tries to grow one
hundred bushels Of ears to the acre,
unless he is unusually favored by the
season, and we doubt If he would sue
coed one year in ten. The strongest
and richest land on the farm is not
good corn land. Corn needs a warm
soil and warm season, and while
dry season lessons production because
there is not moisture enough to perfect
the crop, a wet season does the same
thing because there is not enough heat
to make rapid growth. Heavy manur-
ing makes rank growth of leaf and
stalk, and that keeps the ground SO
cool by shading it that ears do not de-
yelop, and possibly the dense foliage
also prevents pollen from the tassel
from reaching the silk as it falls. We
think the man who wants 100 bushels
of shelled corn can grow it on three
acres with less labor and fertilizer
than he can on one, and be more
sure of it in an ordinary season, while
possibly a favorable season may in
crease his crop to $50 bushels on the
three acres, but would not be apt to do
so on one acre. There are crops in
which the yield can be much increased
by extra fertility and extra labor on a
small plot, but not the corn crop, I'M
less some new variety is found

Flowing MAY Be Too Early,

Many farmers are very impatient to
start the pillow in the spring. AS soon
SIS the snow disappears and they find
a few dry spots in the highway the
plow is brought out and started. The
soil being cold and wet, the upturned
furrow presents a smooth, glossy ap-
pearance, and if future freezing does
not occur it will bake hard and firm,
requiring several borrowings to put it
into a proper condition for seed bed.
Not only is this extra labor required,
but the soil at blowing is SO soft that
the horses at each step sink almost to
the bottom of the furrow. This is very
Injurious, and most Of these early
blowers would not think of allowing
other stock upon the fields when in this
condition. The act of blowing obliter-
ates the foot-marks, and they imagine
no harm is done, but they are greatly
mistaken. No farmer ever gained any
thing in the END by blowing his soil
when not in proper condition. Per-
haps there is some advantage in mark
~ wet and heavy, as the burrows thus
made act as surface drains, and if the
land be nearly level the water is drawn
from the surface soil to distance of
several feet upon each side, and If it
can be drained off at the end Of fur
rows a positive gain will be accom-
plished.-Orange Judd Farmer.

The Family Cow.

Families that keep only one cow
should have only the best to be pro-
cured. More labor is required to care
for single COW, proportionately than
for a herd. The COW for the family
should give a large flow of milk for at
least ten months in the year, and the
milk should contain not less than 4 per
cent. of butter fat, as cream is one of
the essentials. 1t is better to have a
cow that gives even richer milk, but
the majority of family cows are select
ed without regard to merit in that re-
spect. Ills difficult to raise the calves
in such cases, hence in purchasing a
family COW it will be profitable to pay
a high price for a superior animal

Gnnr,re III. Bill.

The House passed the Senate Porto
Rico bill without amendment. thereby
establishing the principle which George
Ill sought TO impose upon the Ameri-
can colonies, that is to say: Taxation
without representation. 1t was in OPP
position TO the same kind of a measure
that the American colonies revolted,
and established free republic.
The indefensible measure which is
not only unjust but a violation of the
good faith ana trust of the Porto
RicanS in American honor, was not
passed without the display Of some
good, Old-fashioned American spirit,
which protested against the adoption
by this Government of measure
which the founders of the nation had
condemned, and which was the cause
of the Declaration of Independence.
All OF the Democrats were opposed TO
II aud fought against its adoption to
the extent of being denounced by the
Republicans as opposed 10 progress
aud the advancement of the nation.
Certain Republicans proved themselves
10 be steadfast Americans by joining in
the opposition to the BILL but they We're
defeated by the small majority of
eight
Judging from the almost universal
sentiment of the people, and the hostile
criticism of Republican organs, it APP
peared At one time as il there would
be a Republican revolt Of considerable
magnitude, but it was less than ex-
pected, in spite of the Presidents orig
lnal conviction that il was the plain
duty of Congress to give the Porto
Ricans free trade. Hence the bin as
passed was so passed by strict Repub-
lican partisan vote, and Stsnds now be-
fore the people as an exclusively Re
publican measure. which is plain vio-
iation OF the Constitution OF the United
States.
The Pors Rieans are TOO feeble To
revolt. as nd the American eolonists.
and they must therefore submit But
there is host OF American citizens
who see in the measure long step IN
