Agricultural
The Proper Cultivation of
Corn.
I
Through the courtesy of the
' Michigan Farmer" we are enabled
to give our readers a couple
of cute, showing the root formation
of corn. The South has failed
. to raise her quota of corn on ac
cou.it of two things? first, we do
not give corn the same atteution
in preparation and manure as we
give to our cotton, and secondly,
we injure it seriously by plowing
too deep "laying by time". We
should plow our corn at least
four times, and the last three
times should be with cultivators
and sweeps or very broad scrapes
bd uu the heel of the plow to
run very shallow. You injure the
corn every time you break ?
root. You had as well argue that!
cutting the small veins in a man's
limbs does not injure him, since
he does uot bleed to death, as to
contend that you can break these
small rootlets of the corn stalk
without impairing its vitality
and iuflicting serious injury. We
can never agree with any stunting
or set-back theories in the
cultivation of corn. We want the
most perfect stalk growth we
can secure, and this alone can be
obtained by a full root development.
Many of us farmers who
have tilled the soil all our lives
have very little idea of the wonderful,
rapid and extensive root
-? * f in i
development or our pianis. vv e
haven't been to technical and
close observation. We never care
to run thiugs into extremes. W?
have a most wholesome reverence
for practical common sense that
goes to work and secures visible,
tangible results, while many are
drawing out or unraveling tinespun
theories. But there is such a
thing which we have often seen,
where a man trains this common
sense until he knows the "ho*
and whys" of a thine, so that his
work is done both at the time
and in the manner that will give
the best results. Such men we
most honor, and would encourage |
others to attain their high estate
Coming back to corn root forma
tion, you can readily see from
the pictures that it will requ>r'
very shallow cultivation not i<
disturb or destroy many of then
Instead of breaking a single c.
we want so to cultivate that w
will encourage the putting forti
of every rootlet possible and sr
cure its full growth, then the
cornstalk ami the ears will receive
the maximum quantity el
moisture and fond. Every good
farmer will see that his plows are ,
set to run right or use anv piect
of machiney to t)<>Ht advantage
until trained to it. Wo are often
surprised to see how different |
the work of the same tool in dif j
ferent hands. One man will takej
a planter ami declare it no good ;
another will take it and gut the
very best results. We should
study to do shallow but effective
cultivation. A 26 or 2S inch
scrape, or a Planet, Jr., with ful'
set of 8- and 12-inch "crapes c ut
bo use 1 to plow your corn shallow
and clean. Many people "lay bv"
their corn too early. They argno
that it injures it to plow any
tater. The reason it does ??t i? n
Injure it very materially to j>h?w
later Is the fact, so many break j
the roots every time they plow
their corn. When ? rain comes
immediately this damage is rap
idlv repaired and hence m <n> !
will tell you if certain times when
large yields were made bv "laying j

by" with deep plowing. Bat if it
remaius dry the corn yield will
often be reduced half and all the
cause attributed to the drouth
instead of the plowing.?Southern
Cultivator.
Don't Lay by Too Soon.
We hear of a few farmers who
have already laid by their corn.
We think they have made a mistake.
The tendency these years is
to work corn later than formerly.
All writers on corn culture advise
this. The idea now prevailing
seems to be to work it until
about the time the tirst silks appear.
The last two plowiugs
should be shallow so as not to
disturb the roots. Late plowing
helps to keep the moisture in
reach of the corn root, and for
this reason is more important for
a dry season than a wet one.?

Dairy Notes,
By Shepherd.
Weeds, especially rag weeds,
make bitter milk.
Nothing will atone for poor
processes and lack of care in
buttermaking.
When butter is gathered in the
churn in granular form it is
uever over-churned.
In seasoning with brine, butter
is never over worked, as it is not
worked at, all.
Working out buttermilk and
working in salt is where the over
work comes in.
If you w;int the milk flow to
keep up always milk clean.
The quality of the food has
[much to do with the quality of
the milk.
Know by test and not by guess
which are the most profitable
cows in the herd.
The quality of the salt has
much to do with the finish of
prime butter.
Well managed winter dairying
is unqualifiedly the most satis
factory dairying to the shrewd
producer.
As to feeding a poor cow with
good feed g.ve better result1- than
i good one with poor feed.
If the cream is made t o warm
the globules will be busted and
the nil mingle with the water in
the cream* such cream will come
to butter slowly.
Every time you abuse the
frightened cow, you throw her
mill; ami butter machinery out
I of gear.
