EitkKiKENT In Growing Corn.—Au
expenment in oorn-planting, by the
Iowa College, last year, in three sepa
rate plantings, all put in on the same
day—May 8—each plant being 160
square yards, resulted as follows: The
plat in which the hills were 3 feet 10
inches by 12 inches apart, with one
stalk in a bill, produced at the rate of
69.06 bushels per acre; the plat planted
3.10 by 20 iuches-apart in the hill*, and
two stalks to a hill, produced at the
rate <*f 57 bushels to the acre; and Ihe
third plat, planted 3.10 each way, with
four stalks to a hill, produced only at
the rate of 50 bushels to the acre. This
is an important fact to know. The ex
periment was conducted with the utmost
care for the express purpose of deciding
a question which has always given rise
to a great deal of discussion, alike as to
the proper dietances betwet n the hills
and the rows, as well as the number of
stalks in a hill. Twelve inches distance
between the hills would be almost equal
to four grains in a hill at 3 feet 10 inch
es apart and practically amounts, to
drilling, which of course demand addi
tional labor in removing the weeds, and
cultivating the soil between the hills
with the hand-hoe, as the crop could be
harrowed only one way. W hether the
extra bushels would pay the additional
cost of labor, we do not pretend to an
swer, though the established belief is
that it will not, and that is the reason
why so few farmers adopt the drilling
system.
Meadows and Pastures.—The frosts
of winter heave the soil, and it is well
to pass a roller over the meadows and
pastures, to firm the surface and make
It smooth for the mowing machine. All
stones loosened bv the frosts should be
removed; large ones, if not needed for
building purposes, may be sunk out of
reach of the plow. Meadows may be
much injured by live stock running
over them in early spring, when the
ground is wet. Any grazing done at
this time is at the expense of the hay
crop. It is far better to keep the ani
mals in the stables and yards until the
pasture is able to furnish a full ration,
or nearly so.
The soil should not be worked yhon
too wet. Many a good field has been
nearly spoiled for years by such treat
ment. The soil when workable will
crumble in the hand,instead of remain
ing in a solid impression showing the
lines of the hand. Next to manure for
crops, success depends up^n thorough
preparation of the soil for the seed. If
possible it should be so fine when rea
dy for sowing that a double handful can
readily be scooped up without digging
for it.
A good sign of the times is that so
many young men in starting to farm
adopt improved stock, and they become
enthusiastic, earnest and ambitious,
which alone will bring success, and all
the more certain on the high tide of im
proved stock breeding. Stock of some
kind is essential to successful farming,
and improved stock brings the beet pro
fit, quickest returns and gives a charm
of prosperity and dignity to tl>e farm.
Finelt-flavobed, aromatic, sweet
butter can only be secured through the
use of a percentage cf new mich cows
in the dairy at all seasons. Darlington
the famous Philadelphia butter-maker,
milks his cows for the butter only three
or four months after calving, then di
verts their milk to cheese or to the sup
ply of the city milk trade. Butter
made from the milk of farrow cows is
inclined to crumble and taste cheesy.
The following rule for estimating the
amount of hay in a stack will be found
approximately correct: In stack, timo
thy, after ten days or two weeks’ set
tling, 600 cubic ieet to the ton; clover,
700, and prairie hay 550 feet. After
thorough settling abeut 500 cubic feet
of timothy, 550 of clover, and 450 of
prairie hay. To get the cubic dimen
sions of a stack, multiply the average
length, breadth and height together.
There is a grade of wheat in Oregon
known aa Goose wheat, so colled be
cause it originated from a few grains
found in the crop of a wild goose. The
wheat has a hard outer husk, and the
bran is very coarse; it makes a peculiar
grade of flour. Its exact duplicate is
found in a small province of Spain,
and the inference is that the wild goose
must moke pretty rapid time.
A good horse power on a farm wil 1
each year save many times the interest

etc.; and with proper care it eould be
made to last for years.

heavy hard-shell crabs in boiling salted
water for about fifteen minutes, or un
til the shells turn red; then as soon as
they are cool enough to handle take all
the meat from the shqjla, rejecting that
part lying back of the eyes, and the
soft fins; save all the green fat, coral
and creamy, curd-like substance; put
aside the meat of the claws after having
out it m pieces about an inch long and
quarter of an inch thick. While the
crabs are boiling pick over half a cupful
of rice and put it into salted boiling
water to boil for twenty minutes; then
drain it in a colander. When the rice
is done put it into a mortar with all the
substance of the crabs except the meat
of the claws, and pound all to a smooth
paste; or, if a mortar is not available,
rub the rice and crab through a sieve
with a wooden spoon or potato masher;
stir the paste rhus formed with one pint
of hot cream, and then add it to three
pints of boiling milk or soup stock; sea
son the soup with salt aud cayenne pep

and serve it directly. If cream is not
on hand, beat the yelk of a raw egg
with a pint of milk, and strain and use
it in place of the cream, but do not al

Bdackberby Jeldy.—Use perfectly
sound, ripe berries; put them into the
preserving kettle, break them a little
with a wooden spoon, and gently heat
them until they are soft enough to
yield all their juice; then pour them
into a jelly-bag, and drain off all their
juice. To each pint of juice allow a
pound of sugar; put the juice and sugar
over the fire in a preserving kettle, and
stir until the sugar is dissolved; when
- his sirup begins to boil skim it as long
as any scum rises, and continue to boU
it for twenty minutes, or longer, until a
little of it cooled on a saucer forms a
jelly; then remoye the kettle from the
tire; fill the glasses while the jelly is
still liquid; when the jelly is quite cold
lay in each glass a piece of white paper
