ART IN CULTIvATiNG CORN

think not many farmers realize the
value of the main roots of corn or the
nature of the growth. One summer /
discovered that the roots of some of
my corn six weeks old were as long
as the stalks, and they spread out five
or six inches in all directions beneath
the surface. In the first cultivation I
hold the shovels as closely as possible
to the young hills of corn and allow
them to go down five inches or more in
order to loosen the dirt and permit the
air to freely circulate in the soil.
After the first blowing use my sur
face riding cultivators with four blades,
two On each side of the row, about
twenty inches long and three inches
wide, that skim under the surface
about two inches, and behind the blades
is drag which is held at proper
angle by a stiff spring. This drag

been successfully tried in Connecti-
cut, and if successful there why not
in Pennsylvania or any other state?
After all is said and done isl regard
to fattening fowls, it is doubtful
whether there is any better food for
this purpose than sweet cornmeal.
Feed it frequently during the day, not
less than four or five times, begin
ming early in the morning and giving
the last as near roosting time as pos
sible. Give only as much as the fowls
will eat with a relish. Feed 1t raw,
not ground too fine, and moistened with
a little water.
Brahmas are hardy, stand the cold
well, are remarkably exempt from dis
eases at all ages, are good winter lay
ers, and, what is of the utmost i'm
portance, their chickens can be raised
with less percentage Of loss from
sickness or feebleness than any other
blooded breed whatever.
| The droppings of the hen roost are
among the best fertilizers that ac-
| cumulate on the farm. They are fully
equal to the best Peruvian guano. Be-
| ing too powerful to be used alone, they
| should be composed in the proportion
of two parts of good soil or mulch to
one of the droppings. Thus prepared
| it will be found almost invaluable for
any crop, especially Strawberries. We
would therefore ask the farmer who
permits his fowls to roost on trees,
fences, pillow handles, wagons, etc, sub
| jecting them to accident and disease,
and of course wasting their valuable
| droppings, whether it would not be a
| profitable investment to build a COM
Portable henhouse? Think the matter
over at your leisure.
We sold this day sixteen dozen eggs
| for S. These eggs were from forty
| five laying hens in the last week.
These We're Matched out last March;
their quarters are above ground, light,
dry and airy, sheltered by house, barn
and high board fence, from all winds
| except south and southwest. Their
food is a variety; at break of day a
| warm mess of five parts shorts, one
part meal; at noon meat of any kind
with a little tallow of some kind
chopped fine; at night corn, no more at
either meal than they will eat greedily
| We keep by them all the time pure

slaked lime, ground oyster shells, oats
( cabbage, wood ashes dry sand an6

We don't believe in keeping hens
over, except a few choice fowls tt
breed from.
We don't believe in hens matched
after April; we believe in having plea.
ty of eggs from the middle of October
during the months following when egg!
are high.
We are not particular as to breed
except that we want large, lively hens
We change cocks every year and lool
