have packed the soil and kept it water
soaked, deep cultivation will help to
dry and aerate the soil. Breaking the
roots of the plants must be avoided
so far as possible. If roots are broken
the plants will rapidly produce other
roots, but it will be at the expense of
the vitality and food supply. After
the plants have reached a height of
two or three feet, the soil, even in the
middle of the rows, should not be cul-
tivated deeper than four inches, and
usually a shallOwer cultivation will
prove better. For retaining soil mois-
ture loose soil mulch two or three
inches in thickness should be main
tanned.
The best answer to the question of
how frequently corn should be cult
waited is that it should be cultivated
often enough to keep down weeds and
to maintain constantly q loose soil

growth. To this end a greater num-

be broken and the soil mulch restored,
or evaporation will soon rob the soil
of its moisture. # is a mistake to
think that the longer the drought the
more frequent should be the cultiva-
tons. After a fine mulch of about
three inches in depth has been produced
It's frequent stirring is not necessary,
except in so far as it is required to
keep weeds from starting. The essen

prs have seen crops injured in this

Generous Man!

A Scotch comedian whose frugality
is as notorious as he himself is famous,
had an engagement in Glasgow some
years ago, and as he had friend who
could put him up for the week, no hO-
tel was going to get free advertising
through his residence within its walls.
His host had just become the proud
possessor of a son and heir, but his
pride in the kid did not prevent him
from giving the star all the attention
the most exacting guest could expect.

cultivator without breaking down the
stalks. If the condition of the soil de-
mands it, shallow cultivation should
continue, even though the corn is tas-
selling. A small implement with sew
eral narrow blades and q short single
tree may often be used for maintain
ing a soil mulch after the corn is too
tall for the use of double cultivators.
Some forms of the one-hOrse cultivator
are especially adapted to cutting off
weeds. Blocks nailed on the handles
of the implement will protect the
hands from the corn blades.
1t Is sometimes profitable to remove
weeds even by the costly process Of
hand hoeing, and at as late date as
the silking time of the corn. H.
Walking Double cuitivator.
With a good riding or walking dou-
BILE cultivator one man can cultivate
as many acres as two men with one
horse cultivators, and with the most
improved types he can accomplish the
work more easily and fully as well.
Because of this saving of labor, double
cultivators should be used wherever
practicable TwO-row cultivatOrs
equipped with four gangs of shovels
and drawn by three horses are meet
ing with favor in the central prairie
states. AS one of these completes the
cultivation of two rows of corn each
time is crosses the field, one man can
cultivate Is acres per day. In many
sections it is often difficult to obtain
laborers when they are needed and, as
with these tWo-rOW cultivatOrS one
man can cultivate as many acres as
two men with One-row twO-hOrse Gull
tivators, their use is likely to increase,
especially in comparatively level Sec
tons free from stumps and rocks
where corn is planted by means of
two-row planters. Some forms of these
two-row cultivators are mounted on
two wheels, like two-hOrse double cul-
tivators, while others made for plow-
or low, broad wheels designed so as to
follow the rows made by the lister.
Three-rOw cultivatOrs Of this type are
used to some extent on large fields
free from instructions. Very stumpy
land or tall corn may necessitate the
use of one-horse cultivators.
ShoveIs for Cuitivators.
The kinds of shovels with which ii
is best to equip either single or double
cultivators must be determined by the
character of the soil, size of the corn,
and the size and nature of growth of
the weeds to be destroyed. Without
exception, any form of shovel found
to do good work on one-hOrse cult
vatOr can be attached to q double or
two-rOw cultivator In some cases the
surface cultivator does better work
than the disk cultivator which may
leave narrow strips Of solid soil that
are not covered with fine, loose soil.
All forms of shovels should be so adj
justed that the loOsened soil will make
fine and even covering for the harder
soil beneath. Shovels sometimes may
be modified at the farm blacksmith
shop for special use on river-bOttOm
land, where bindweed, man-Of-the-
earth, and other vines and weeds are
hard to control Sharp horizontal
blades at the bottom of shOvels strike
the weeds squarely, so that there is
little, chance for them to escape by
slipping by either side, as is so COM
mon with ordinary shOvels.

The most successful corn growers
realize the Importance of thorough
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check in the growth of the plants be-
cause of weeds or crusted soil. The
farmer should see that, from the time
of termination to the maturing of the
corn the plants are not subjected to
any preventable unfavOrable condi-
lions, but are given an opportunity to
make a steady, vigorous growth. Ii
their development is checked from any
cause they will never fully recover, no
matter how favorable the later treat
ment. AS consequence of heavy rain
fall the stalks may increase rapidly
in height, and at the same time, for
lack of cultivation or of soil fertility,
or for some other reason, they may be
slender or of poor color. Thrifty corn
plants are thick, strong, and of dark
green color.
Horse weeders ard harrows should
be used when needed to break a sur
face crust, check insect depredations,
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn is up or large enough to be
worked with other implements. Dur
ing the first cultivation, or while the
plants are very small, narrow shovels
that throw the soil but very little
should be used, and tenders are usu-
ally found desirable to prevent the
covering of the plants.
Favor Shallow Cultivation.
Many comparative tests of deep and
shallow cultivation have been made,
and on the whole the results are in ia
vor of shallow cultivation. There are
but few occasions when deep cultiva-
ton is preferable. If excessive rains

TOO MUCH SALT MAY
KILL SOME ANIMALS
When Taken in Excessive Quanti-
ties 1t Is Poisonous-Chick-
ems Are Susceptible.
(By I. E. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricultur-
al College, Fort Collins.)

By I. E. NEWSOM, Colorado Agricultur-
al College, Fort Collins.)
Samples of salt are occasionally sent
to the agricultural college for analysis
with the statement that animals, usual
~ cattle or sheep, were poisoned after
eating it in considerable quantities. In
no case has any foreign substance that
would account for the poisoning been
found.
Since salt is necessary to life and
is In universal use, it is difficult to
realize that in large amounts it Is
poisonous. Many cases of poisoning
in chickens have been reported and
occasionally in larger animals. In one
instance salt was by mistake used in
stead of sugar in making cake. The
cake was given to the chickens and
killed all of them. Chickens are very
susceptible to salt poisoning and, while
the amount that it takes to kill a horse
or COW is considerable, this sometimes
occurs when these animals are especial
ly salt hungry.
