nautical phrases, some time elapsed

that filed my mind.

and country merchants are not yet du-
plicating carly orders. Sales OF g,ro-
5ceries, spices. canned goods and sugars
have largely increased. while drugs. cot

well. There is an excellent demand for
paints, varnishes, brushes and interior
decorations and fine furniture Ma

hardware, plumbing materials, betting

sales are satisfactory in ladies wear,

In Philadelphia money is plentiful

HINTS ON CORN CULTURE.

T.
Speaking with reference to the corn
belt, II may be said that the most ia
Norable time for planting corn is from
the first In the middle OF May, tho
large, and in some cases exceptionally
large yields have been reported for
paintings made considerably before and
after either period indicated.
Thick planting reduces the size OF the
ears and the per cent of grain. In most
cases il will produce a large yield of
~ ina dry season.
Yields from corn cultivated one, two
and three Inches deep Will vary but lit
tie, the soil and other conditions being
identical Four inches deep will GER
tainly diminish the yield OF corn.
Heavy applications Of manures are
not likely to prove profitable in contin-
uous corn culture. One liberal applica-
ton, for instance, IL fresh horse ma
nure. will be felt by the crop in vary
ing degrees for the next ten or fifteen
years.
Deep, rich, clover soils will yield bet
ter If drilled. while light, hilly fields
suffer considerable loss OF fertility by
being drilled The practice OF killing
up corn at the last cultivation Is no
longer followed to any considerable ex-
tent, and the more popular method Of
level culture has come into favor. Sur
face culture Is recommended by the ILL.,
nois experiment station.
QUESTIONS FOR FARMERS BOYS.
