The Culture Of GInseno.

The editor of this department has been
taken to task for: advising that farmers
do not go into the culture of ginseng. It
is claimed that a crop which will bring
from 81 to S. a pound ought not to be dis
couraged. Ginseng culture has been dis
couraged simply because the plant re-
quires certain soils and conditions not
possible to find in all locations. The plant
requires a rich, loose and loamy soil
which can be well shaded. How many
farms contain such soils? Further, in
growing ginseng constant cultivation is
required and a more or less elaborate
plan of shading. Theu, 1t requires from
four to six years before the crop is in
shape to market. 1t is admitted that in
some sections ginseng may be probably
cultivated, but it is commended that If any
farmer will give the care and attention
to any crop that he knows well how to
grow that is required by ginseng, he will
find himself, at the end of six years, with
quite as good a profit as he would get
from the one crop Of ginseng. unless. as
stated, conditions were peculiarly suited
to the ginseng.

Early Flowing for Corn.

Some of the best corn crops of the past
season, a season of poor crops in all corn
sections as a rule, were from soils plowed
In March or early April. Experience has
shown that this early spring blowing is
to be preferred to fall blowing for corn.
The stable manure is hauled to the field
during the winter as made and in March,
as soon as the ground can be worked, 1t
Is plowed the blowing being rather shall
low. This blowing is done in the regula
manner, but nothing more is done until
corn planting time, when the ground is
further prepared for the crop. The seed
ing is done with drills and the summer
system of cultivation started with the
weeder early and continued as long as
possible. The plan is comparatively new
in some localities, but it has brought
good results and is well worth trying.
