A Little Corn Lore.
one Of the best ways Of killing the
weeds In the corn field is to destroy them
before the corn comes up. and We make
1t a practice to run the. weeder lightly
over the seeded ground If there is the
slightest promise that the soil is likely
to be weedy. Another round OF the weeder
just after the corn shows through will
take out a lot of the weeds and not in
jure the corn in the least. but leave less
work for the cultivator to do in it's first
rounds. which is as soon as the rows can
be fairly defined. 1t is true this first and
subsequent cultivating would kill off the
weeds, but not so certainly as by the plan
Indicated. If the soil Is fairly rich and the
seed bed we'll prepared for a good variety
this plan of early and constant cultivation
as long as the corn can be worked will
give one a crop which will amply repay
for the labor involved. While corn Is
grown by nearly all farmers, there are a
few little points like the above. which II
put into operation yield sue results as
TO upset any ideas hat we know all there
is to know about raising corn.
Small Yards for Poultry.
When it is not possible to supply a
range Of considerable size for the fowls
and they must be practically kept in yards
an excellent plan Is to divide the yard into
two OR three sections. according to Its
size, and treat them in the following man.
ner. Plow or spade each yard and in one
or two. II divided into three spaces. plant
some early vegetable that will require
some cultivation: radishes for example.
When the yards are divided into three,
one OF them may he prepared thoroughly
and grass seeds or oats or millet sown In
1t, with the vegetables in the second yard.
while the fowls occupy the third. When
the grass or small grain gets two or three
inches high turn the fowls in this yard

which the vegetables were grown will be
ready for them to scratch over. It Is sur
prtsing how we'll the fowls will do under
this plan, even though each yard is very
small.

Points on Care Of Lambs.
