March or early in April and plowed

the month in which the largest pro-
portion of the field crop is planted

of nitrogen, 4 per cent; potash, 6 per
cent, and phosphoric acidf, 8 per

guished for its great weight of grain,
smallest of cob and freedom from rot
In the field. It yields we'll on thin
soils and ripens early. 1t will weigh
ffty-eight pounds to the bushel, and
the weight of grain to the cob is
nearly IS per cent, while with the
larger varieties it is about 80 e
cent. The Gourd seed varieties,
with long grain, are ~favorites in the
South. The selection of seed corn
is at once a most important and a
most tedious operation. The ears
most perfect in grain, shape and
solidity for compactness only should
be selected. Depth of grain and
smalless of cob, as well as length and
weight of ear and tightness of grain
on the cob, should all be considered.
As far as possible there should be a
uniformity in the size and shape of
the grain. Those at the smaller end
of the ear should be discarded.
, TO KEEP OFF CROWS
To prevent crows and black-birds
from pulling up the young corr the
seed should be tarred and afterwards
rolled in ashes or land plaster. A
pint of coal tar will englace about
two bushels of seed corn. The grain
should be placed on the floor, the tar
poured over it, and then the corn
should be stirred until every grain
receives a thin coating. Afterwards
ashes or land plaster may be poured
e the bulk of corn and stirred in.
The corn may then be handled with
out sticking to the hands. This
treatment will also protect the young
plants against the ravages of rae
coons and squirrels.
Experiment carefully made dem
onstrate the fact that good seed of
any well-established variety of corn
will produces on soils of equal fer
tility 80 per cent more corn than seed
from a mixed or inferior variety. AS
to whether corn should be planted in
drills or in hills depends a good deal
upon the character of the soil and
its freedom from noxious weeds or
grasses. When the soil is fresh and
friable, or when corn is planted after
a clover ley, it is better to drill it,
but where the land has become in
tested with a foul growth the plant
ing in hills is preferable, because in
that case the plows may run closer
to the growing corn in both ways,
and no hoe work will be required.
The cultivation of corn is a very
simple matter. If the land has been
well prepared before planting, very
little need be done, except to keep
the surface of this ground loose. No
deep culture is required-in fact,
deep culture is hurtful to the grow
ing crop, especially after the corn has
thrown out it's lateral roots. Level
culture is best. The best rotation
for corr is clover, corn, oats Or grass.
Wheat rarely yields we'll after corn.

shower. 1t is the month of buds and
blossoms and of creeping beauty over
the landscape and bursting life in
the forest. Verdure enlivens the
surface of the earth; birds mate and
chatter the exuberance of enjoyment
while they build their nests and pre-
pare for parental delights. Every
animate and inanimate thing seems
TO rejoice and to take on new life or
fresh coloring in April.
PLANTING CORN
To the farmer April is a very busy
month. The rich earth feels the mel
lowing influences of the pillow and
harrow, and warns for the reception
and fructitication of the seeds to be
committed to its bosom. In all pOr-
tons Of the South corn should be
planted-indeed, in the Gulf States
it should be up and ready for the
initial cultivation. Fertilizers are
now frequently applied to the soil
for this crop, especially upon lands
that have been run down. A good
fertilizer is one containing phos-
phoric acid, 6 to s per cent; potash,
) to & per cent, and nitrogen, 2 per
cent. \ crop of fifty bushels of corn
abstracts from the soil sixty-seven
pounds of nitrogen, eighty pounds
Of potash and thirty-one pounds of
phosphoric acid. The application of
800 pounds of a fertilizer of the
character indicated would grately
increase the yield, and should the
seas II be favorable, will be found
to be highly profitable. Fertilizers
may be applied in the drill or hill
where the corn is to be planted. The
best land, however, upon which to
Plant corn in the South is a clover
or grass fallow that has been top
dressed the previous year with stable
manure, An application of the lat
ter just before planting is often
found to be injurious, as it induces

season be hot or dry. A crop of

VARIETIES OF CORN

corn, some of them well known in all
parts of the country. The flint corn
VI The" Atlantic Coast States, the
Uont corn of the West and South and

Plant-beds should also be looked after
to see that the canvas is not broken
or whipped off by the winds. It is
a good idea to remove the canvas en-
tirely before the last of the month,
so that the plants may be hardened
before being transplanted to the open
fields in May.
MELONS
The land for melons should be pre-
pared this month. For large com
mercial watermelons fields the rows
are laid off about ten feet apart each
way and low hills made at the points
of intersection. A light, rich, sandy
loan is best, and should be well fer
tilted with barnyard manure, applied
some six inches beneath the hills, but
mixed with the soil at that depth.
When left in a solid mass without
Incorporating with it some of the
adjacent earth it is too trying in hot
weather. Watermelons never do well
in a wet, heavy soil nor during a wet
season.
CANTALOUPEs
For cantaloupes and cucumbers the
hills may be made five or six feet
apart. A handful of fertilizer con-
tanning nitrogen, 3 per cent; potash,
Z per cent, and phosphoric acid, s to
10 per cent, should be mixed with the
earth composing the hills. Melons
may be FASTENED by planting the seed
during the month of April in flower
pots placed under cold-frames, so
that the tender plants may be guard
ed against late frOsts.- After the
danger from frosts is over the dirt
may be slipped from the aower-pots
and set in a hole scooped out from
the hills in the open fields. This
method is only intended for small
patches, and would be too tedious and

main crop of melons should be plant
ed in the Gulf States the latter part

the South, May is the best month for

ed in the corn fields during the latter
part of April or the first of May.

in its attractive verdure stock are
nor disposed to break from their
enclosure. The habit of breaking
through fences is never wholly eradi-
Gated when once acquired by horses,
COWS or swine. A bad fence induces
this habit.
April is the month for speying and
marking pigs, and it should be
promptly attended to if the farmers
expect to fatten a pen of good hogs
in the fall.
The honey bees come out in April
and begin the work of gathering
honey from the early blossoms. Every
hive should be carefully inspected
and all bee moths destroyed. Small
and feeble colonies should be con
solidated if possible. Good hives are
of permanent necessity for making
the work of the apiarist successful.
It may be said, in conclusion, that
the work in April is the surest pro-
phecy for a good crop. During this
month the solid foundation is made
in the preparation of the soil, the
pitching of the crop and the making
of the necessary arrangements for
the work of the summer months.
Teams enough must be provided and
%provender and grain for the support
of the teams.
