Corn Planting.

by the corn. These causes operate to
oblige many farmers to replant much

In the ground too early. A depth Of
two inches is deep enough for putting
seed corn, unless 1t is planted very late
in warm and dry soil. For level cul.

and then possibly go little deeper. but

Soaking Corn for Hor.es,

One who has tried it advises soaking
corn for horses. Have a clean pail or
jar. and after each feed put in as much
corn as Is intended for the next feed
and cover with cold water. At feed
ing add little salt to this and give it,
then prepare the next. He says he does
this and has no trouble with sore
mouth or teeth from the use of hard,
ninty corn. But we prefer to have the
corn cracked when we mix 1t with oats,
or ground fine and the meal put on hay
that has been cut and moistened. We
think 1t more thoroughly digested by
the latter method. If one is where he
cannot get his corn to mill. the above
hint may be OF some value to him.
though we would prefer more than six
hours soaking II we trusted to that en-
tirely Exchange.
