NOTES FOR THE FARMER

Corn ground should be plowed, II
possible. as soon as the weather per-
mits. as the action OF the frost Will
render II fine and save much OF the Ia
Dor of preparation later i'm the season.
One mistake usually made with corn is
that of not thoroughly pulverlzing the
soil previous TO putting in the seed.
As the ground cannot be planted be-
fore danger Of frost has passed. time
may be Obviated by performing the
work OF preparation early, not only by
plowing but by frequent narrowing.
If plowed as soon as the frost is out Of
the ground. and the land left in the
rough condition (without harrowing).
the clods and Jumps win be torn TO
pieces by expansion and contraction
due to heat and cold. The land may be
left until nearly time for planting,
which win give the early grass and
weeds a chance TO germinate, when the
pulverizer and harrow should be used.
These implements should be passed
over the ground until the soil is as fine
as it is possible to make 1t.
Hauling Manure.
The best method OF manuring is TO
maui the manure u the riNhtAA iiA AiA'
spring while the earth is hard. II
should be evenly spread and plentifully
applied. II may be then plowed under
at the first plowing Some farmers
prefer to haul out the manure in the
fall. in order that the frost may ope-
rate ON it during the winter; but this
should not be done unless the manure
is spread over ground that has been
recently plowed, as the rains will wash
away much of the soluble matter II
applied in the spring it win also be
subject to such danger, but not TO 50
great an extent. il the land is level
But for the heavy labor OF hauling ma
nure over plowed ground, the best way
to apply manure is TO spread it over
the ground after plowing, allowing II
to remain until the pulverizer and har-
row are used. which will incorporate
the manure intimately with the soil
If the manure is hauled IN small loads
however. and spread over the ground
from the wagon it may be spread over
the plowed ground and narrowed I'm.

Corn may be checked" four feet
apart each way. and the cultlvator
should then be kept in use until the
corn grows too large to admit Of being
easily worked. No grass or weeds
should be penmitted to grow. and in the
dry season the frequent use OF the cul-
tivator VIII be found beneficial. Anoth-
er method Of planting is to lay off rows
four feet apart and plant the corn one
foot apart IN the rows thinning out all
the plants In each hill to one This
gives each plant plenty of room and
produces the largest yield but demands
extra labor AS soon as the corn is
six inches high a one-horsc plow is
used, which should turn the earth from
the corn. After Il makes further
growth the plow Is again used. but
this time throwing the earth back TO
the corn. After the grass begins TO
appear the cultivator is used. but at
least once during the season the hoe
may be required between the hills. The
cost, however, is greater than with
the check row system. and is in favor
only in certain sections.
Notes About the Farm.
The Wisconsin Experiment station
has made some experiments with cut
and whole fodder for milk production.
Tho results show unquestionably the
superiority Of cut or shredded fodder
A given quantity of milk was produced
by feeding 1856 pounds Of whole stalk.
whereas TO produce the same quantity
of milk under similar conditions re-
quired only 721 pounds OF cut fodder
being but little over one-half.
No food is cheap unless it induces the
hens to lay. a potato is mostly water
and i'm proportion to the solid matter
il contains is very expensive compared
TO the grain. 1t is not extravagant Ia
feed any food as long as it produces
eggs Meat is the best egg producing
food. but as Il is not easily procured
in all localities the price is high. yet II
it is giving good results it win be found
cheaper than grain. Cheap food Is that
which gives the largest product at the
least cost. but any food is extravagant
| If it does not induce egg production.
