Corn Stovef.

I first cut the corn and stand it up in medium
sized shocks. taking care Ito stand the corn up
straight. When ~dene cutting and shocking, I
then take a man with me to help tie. The man
carriY{ a rope with an iron ring attached to one
end and with this rope we make a moose around
the Shock, close up, or near the top of shock
drawing it very tight, while one holds the rope.
the other man with a ball of Irvine ties them.
Binding Irvine is the best. In tieing I cut the
Irvine and leave about half a yard hanging to
the shock, so that I may have as much as I will
need in tieing the second time. As soon as. ]
think corn will do to crib, I pull it from the
stalk, then bind the stalk fodder together, making
about three binds for each shock, using the same
Irvine, standing the three binds up together sc
that it will keep nice and dry in case of rain.
When done gathering corn, [ then take my man
and team, with hay fork, and haul the stalk fod-
der to the barn. Stalk fodder cured in this way
makes choice feed for horses and cattle, and can
be handled without waste, and it is just as handy
to feed as baled, and does not require so much
room as when you put up loose.-J. I. Altman,
Yellow Greek, Tenn, in E~pitomist.

Editors Progressive Farmer:
The common toad, generally regarded as an
object of general disgust-due to it's imaginary
powers of producing warts, and other surprising
attributes-the lawful prey of the small boy, re-
pays mans ingratitude by destroying the insects
which raVages his crops. The value of birds in
this direction is already recognized; but judged
by the standard of good works, the toad should
receive equal consideration as an economic fac
tor. His most important characteristic, from the
farmers point of view, is his voracity. He has
an appetite that prolonged experiment has been
quite unable to satisfy. The quantity of food he
consumes in a single day represents four times
the capacity of his stomach. As his favorite diet
consists of cutworms, caterpillars, moths, BEETLES,
snails, rose chafers, and other insects and worms
that levy taxes upon growing plants, and as no
known limits have been found to his hunger, the
number of noxious species that he disposes of
within the course of twenty-four hours, will be
seen to be considerable. It is estimated that dur
ing a summer, one toad can account for over TO-
600 worms and insects. So valuable are his ser
vices that in certain places where his worth is
being realized, people are establishing toad colo
MES, and English gardeners pay as much as $25
per hundred for this animal that we regard with
contumely. ". Fl. TODD.

shade, cover them over with old bags or other
cloth. Keep moist by throwing water on them
frequently. If it dries out two fast, scatter a
little sand or dust over the bags; they will sbon
turn green and sprout; then plant.
Another way: pillow out a ditch, put the tubiers
in it. Cover shallow with dirt. When you fsee

l use both ways, according to convenience i one
seems as good as the other. Before planting4 cut
lengthwise in quarters. Drop about twice as
thick in the row when planting as in spring.
Allow for about one-half to come up. Potatoes
bruised or cut in digging come up quickerj than
those that are uninjured; hence it may be best
to select those as far as they will go.
Prepare your land thoroughly. Manure freely
Don't put the seed directly in the manure. Plant
just after a rain when the ground Isl moist and
cool. Don't plant on poorly prepared land or in
dry, hot land; they will not succeed.

We Should Grow More Turnips.

The American farmer has not yet learned to
appreciate the value of turnips in the rotation of
crops. In England and Scotland turnips enter
largely into the economy of the farm and are
regarded as the basis of all successful agriculture.
A recent writer in the North declares that turnips
can never be made profitable in the United States,
because the crop requires a moist, cool season for
its development. He names among other reasons
the cost of cultivation of the turnip crop as COM
pared with corn and the impossibility of feeding
on the land as in England because of the severity
of the weather in winter. Not one of these rea-
sons is we'll founded in fact. The success which
Southern farmers have in growing turnips is a
refutation of the first, the cost as compared with
the cultivation of corn is not half as great, and
the winters are generally sufficiently mild to per-
NIT stock to run out during the day.
Turnips should be soWn either broadcast or i'll
drills on rich, well-prepared soil at any time from
the Doth of July to the first of September. Two
pounds of seed will be ample for an acre if drilled.
and omewhat less if sown broadcast. Turnips
sowed between the rows of corn the latter part of
August after a rain will make a generous pasture
for sheep during the winter. In garden ~cultiva-
ton the seed is sown in drills eighteen inches
apart and covered slightly. One cultivation is all
that is necessary to secure a good crop. They
must be thlnned TO three inches IN the row. line
droughts in the fall are the only drawback from
which the turnip crop suffers.
There are two leading varieties of turnips
grown in the South, known as winter and summer
turnips. The latter make large bulbs; the former,
large tops that are readily eaten by cattle, sheep
and swine. These tops frequently grow a foot
high or more and will resist the ordinary freezes
of winter. This winter variety is probably best
suited to SOW between rows of corn, as it is very
hardy and will grow where the summer turnips
will make a failure.-Southern Farm Magazine.

Retaining Washed and Waste Land.
Progressive Farmer:

yEo1tors Progressive Farmer:
In all of the cotton States there are to be seen
everywhere waste fields, gashed by unsightly gull
lies, where once were productive cotton fields.
The recent advance in price of raw cotton will
make it profitable to reclaim many of these fields,
and in any case for the looks of the country
these desolate tracts should be reclaimed.
In all cases where the land has a clay surface
soil or sub-soil, the present impoverished condi-
ton is not due to natural sterility, but rather tc
neglect or mismanagement.
Clay or loamy soils may, with little expense
and labor, be brought into a condition of useful
ness. Such fields in their abandoned state are
usually covered with a sparse growth of pine. In
starting the reclamation of such lands, the first
thing to do is to cut down enough of these trees
and bushes to fill the gullies at intervals of three
or four rods apart. The land should then be
plowed as deeply as practicable and made approx
mately level, or if the land is on a hillside, it
should be terraced. Hillside bitches as frequent
ly made and used in the cotton States are a de-
fusion.
When the soil has been prepared, harrow in a
fertilizer composed as follows:

Of this use from three hundred to nine hundred
pounds per acre. Then SOW seeds of sand vetch
at the rate of twenty-five pounds per acre and
Japan clover five pounds per acre. These tive
plants thrive everywhere in the cotton region.
Both belong to the class of legumines growth
in cooler part of the year, while the l~espedeza
will hold the ground with vigor during the hot
months. After the first year such a renovated
field may be proftably utilized as pasture for
hogs, mules or other grazing stock. As all cot
ton soils are apt to be efficient in lime, it will
be desirable to top-dress every third year with air
or water Stacked lime at the rate of about SIX
hundred pounds per acre. After a few years IN
pasture, such reclaimed land may be brought into
the regular farm rotation and will bring good
crops of cotton, corn or other crops of the locality
Unless so brought under systematic rotation, the
reclaimed fields may in a few years acquire a
natural sod of Bermuda grass, which wiz be
afterwards difficult to kill out. But there/is nc
better pasture grass anywhere than Bermuda.
and those who wish to grow stock or carry OH
dairy farming cannot do better than tohasten the
entrance of Bermuda by planting roots of the
grass in burrows about six feet apart before SOW
ing the seeds of the legumines as above recon-
mended. The Bermuda alone will not thrive OF
newly reclaimed land unless given stable manure
or soluble nitrogen in someAprm. The cheapest
and best way to supply the tded nitrogen IS by
cultivating vetch and Japan NAover for the hrst
year or two.
The best time to start the wokk of retaining
washed land is during the winter The seeds OF
