The Cultivation Of Corn

From my observations | am con-
vinced that this latter-day machinery
for shallow cultivation" Is not, in
the majority of instances, on the cor
rect principle; at any rate in this lat
itude. With the present improved
soil conditions we have, by under
draining, clover. etc, the low average
of twenty-five bushels per acre-as
reported for all the States-is most
deplorable. Even the forty bushels
credited to Indiana this year, which
is above the actual facts is not more
than half what 1t should be.
We should plant deeper, and after
the first and second plowing, with
small shovels, go straight down along
side the plants. After this the object
should be to keep out, leaving the
roots undisturbed. There are only
two methods by which this can be
done properly. One is by the use of
larger shovels in order to throw the
dirt over to the corn; the other ex-
treme shallow cultivation, with drag
or harrow, circumstances to govern
the matter according to conditions of
soil, season and time of doing it,
However, under most conditions
find the larger shovel the better, as 1t
throws the soil up over the roots to
nourish and fully mature a crop Of
ears. In Eye olden time" the corn
ground was furrowed out with large
shovel plow, or maybe little mold
board, corn dropped down in the bot
tom of the furrow, covered with the
hoe, drag or "straddle bug" and cul-
tivated with larger shovels on the
plow or cultivator. And It took a
hard wind to throw down the corn in
those days, and needless to say ears
hung over the rows, long and hard
as stove wood. The writer can re-
call as boy, taking one year as an
instance, in 5000 bushels he raised
there wasn't a bushel basketful of
nubbins to feed COW. Indeed I had
to break the ears over the doorsill of
the old log crib to get 1t small enough
to feed
Let US get down to common sense
in the matter by procuring a planter
(or adjusting the latter devices for
attaching to the ordinary ones in
use) that has the tenders, or pairs of
discs set before the runners of the
planter, making a furrow of suffi icient
depth for the seed, but not necessa-
| rily covering deeper than It should
be, or would be without them. There
is reason. yes, true science in the at
tachments where such planters are
to be used, as the discs cut looser and
throw up and out the soil in the diff
ferent grades. mingling together as II
falls over the corn as the runners
pass through. This method, properly
applied, would work revolution in
corn growing. M. Miller. In the

How Peanuts Grow.

"Do you know how peanuts grow?"
asked Mr.. Joseph ID. Warren. of Rich
mond. Va. In recent interview. 81
have found few persons of the North
and West who can answer that ques-
tlon. Some say on vine, some on n
bush. some on tree. and some In
the ground, like potatoes.
"The peculiar thing about peanut
Is that II grows In two ways-on n
bush and like n potato. The first
step In the process Is the planting of
n single peanut. From that a bush
grows. lying close to the ground. A
branch stretches out close to the
earth, and sends up into the air
shoots on which are little yellow
flowers. like buttercups. Directly
beneath these flowers. growing
straight downward small, sharp
pointed shoots appear, like thorns.
They are called pegs" and grow
back into the ground. It Is Mt the
end of these pegs that the peanuts
are found"

HaeckeI and Huxley.

or Ernst Haeckel, Professor Vernon
Lyman Kellogg declares, in The Pop.
ular Monthly, that he "is no longer
merely the German champion Of Oar
winism and Monism, but the world
champion" When compared with
Huxley, his famous companion-in
arms, Haekel appears as the more
egostistic of the two. He fights more
for himself He advertises himself
more. And he comes in for sharper
scientific criticism than Huxley did
He has been accused of certain
"carelessness" in his handling of bio
logical facts, of a tendency to specu
latlveness which his critics have
dubbed der Haeckelismus in der zool
ogie." But of his influence at large
there can be no question.-New Yorl

Keen Better Cows.

AS cities Increase in population
there is an annual expansion in the
demand for dairy products. The mere
fact that in 1908 there was an in
crease of $4,000 mich cows report
ed in the United States indicates
wonderful broadening of the dairy
industry. Railway transportation ia
cilities are improved, traffic rates are
more reasonable and the city supply
of milk and dairy products is ex-
tending farther into the country,
says Drovers' Journal
Where help can be obtained to op-
crate the dairy milk production is
one of the best paying branches Of
animal husbandry. The farmers op-
Grating their holdings with milch

The profits of dairy husbandry all
depend on the productive ability Of
the cows. Unquestionably many
cows are in dairy herds that do not
more than pay the expense of keep,
leaving no profit to the dairyman. If
the farmer had $4,000 to loan he
would prefer to invest it in six per
cent. first mortgages instead of loan
ing the money without interest. The
farmer sells his hay, grain and rough

cows, and II the revenue only equals
