Once there was pig with a sensi.
tive snout and a quirky tail. His feet
were black with the muck Of the sty
and his thick yellow skin, once soft
and pink, was covered with stiff bris-
ties.
The pig proved beyond peradven-
ture that his natural function was to
wallow and root and gorge, but one
day he took his snout out OF the
trough and said "Pless me, what's the

CULTIVATION TO HELP CORN
Shallow as Well as Deep TiIlage Will
Destroy Weeds-keep Surface
Of Soil Mellow.

Deep cultivation of orr is never
necessary when the soil has been prop
erly prepared before planting. This
is the result shown by Investigations
Mt the Minnesota College Of Agriculture
as well as by Investigations of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. In most cases cultivation is
necessary almost entirely for the elimi-
nation Of weeds. Shallow cultivation
will do this just as well as deep. and it
does not injure the roots of the plants.
Experiments have shown, however,
that the yield Of corn increases with
succeeding civilizations up to six. Corn
cultivated twice at University Farm,
st. Paul, yielded As bushels Of corn
and 3,21O pounds Of slower. giving Il
profit of $5.96. Corn cultivated six
times yielded nearly SO bushels and
1891 pounds Of slower. giving a profit
Of 5000.
The frequency Of cultivation de-
ponds largely on the character of the
soil and the conditions Of the seed
bed at the time Of planting. Sufficient
CIVILIZATIONS should be made, however.
to keep the surface of the soil mellow.
free from weeds and loose.
Late civilizations should not be more
than w or three inches deep.
