EARLY SWEET CORN.

In my family sweet corn is one of the
most highly priced vegetables, and 1
aim to have the season as long as prac.
ticable. l have had it fully grown by
July s, and once picked some that was
quite passable the last week in June.
Last summer we had it in abundance
by the middle of July. Corn will bear
tIansplanting we'll il the roots are not
disturbedaoo much. l start as much as
l think will be needed in cold frames
planting in hills the same as il in the
open ground, only about twice as near
together each way. After the plants
are up | give the beds plenty Of air in
mild weather, aiming for hardy plants
rather than very large ones. April 20
is usually early enough to put in the
seed. 1t will depend, of course, on the
general forwardness Of the season. |
once had corn planted outside out Of the
ground on April 80. with no late frosts
to destroy it, but such seasons are rare
in this latitude. For transplauting |
have sheet iron cylinder about nine
inches in diameter and nearly as long,
with the edge turned over at one end
to strengthen it and to render it easier
to crowd it down into the soil around a
hill Of corn. | always set the corr near
the cold frame, 80 that the hills not
transplanted will be in the same or al =

frame six feet wide will start three rows

grow till it is ready to transplant.
take up all Of the middle row and every
other bill of both the others. All the
fen tilizer is applied broadcast, 40 when
ready to transplant | dig the holes fos
as many hills as are TO be moved, then
crowd the cylinder over q bill in the
frame and run my spade underneath aud
pick up aud carry to hole already for
the receiving of the plants, draw the
soil up aud around the cylinder, tread
ing it down sufficiently. then pull the
cylinder up aud the work is done. Part
Of the soil taken out will be needed for
filing the hole left in the frame Corn
moved in this way will hardly stop
growing, not much root growth having
been pruned off could see scarcely
any difference last summer between the
transplanted corn and that left 10 the
frame bed | think this is better than
starting the plants in pots Of the size
commonly used. The cylinder should
be made Of the thickest iron one can
find and Tapped and riveted just like
common piece Of stove pipe In land
free from small stones it will work down
around the hills quite easily, aud ono
should avoid having many stones in the
soil Of the frame. I suppose there are
numerous other crops that might be
handled in this way, but I have had no
experience with any others. Tomatoes
need handling differently, so think
would squashes aud other vines. When
my first corn was ready to market the
price was double what il was later in
the feason.-A. NJ. Cheever, in New

DAIRYING INCREASES FERTTI1TY,

Any branch Of farming which in
creases the general fertility Of the farm
land while paying living profit is worth
more than another which steadily de-
creases the productiveness of the soil.
Robbing the land to make present profit
is an unwise Investment. Sooner or
later We pay for it, and sometimes dear
ly. Now, dairying of all branches of
farming stands first in this respect. It
can be conducted so that the farm land
will steadily degenerate until the place
is on the verge of ruin and abandon
ment, or it can be made to improve the
soil year by year. Many dairy farmer
has taken hold of poor abandoned farms
and brought them up to point where
their valuation is almost doubled. Such
men counted their profits in the living
which they annually took from the place
and in the higher valuation of their
property. Keep q good dairy on any
farm, and the fertility of it should in
crease. There should first be regular
rotation of such crops as corn, oats,
clover and timothy two years and pas.
ture another year. Then manure should
be used freely, both at the time of plant.

mercial fertilizers have their place there
