? Shallow Corn Culture Again
Progressive Farmer.
The writer has been much interested
in your articles on the
cultivation ot corn, and the illustration
of a corn plant in The
Progressive Farmer of the 6th
instant is particularly of interest,
as it might well pass for a photograph
of a plant taken up by
Mr. Geo. Watt, the founder of
this business, on his farm twenty-five
or thirty years ago, and
kept on exhibition for a long
time in our store to show the
growth of roots and the injury
resulting from too deep cultiva
tion.
Hia practice was to plow deep
and put his land in the finest
condition of tilth before a seed
was put in it. If weeds appeared
before the corn, or if a crust
formed, he would run a harrow
(weeders were not at that time
in use) over the field. When
the corn was small, his practice
was to run one of his one-horse
plows with the smallest mold
board on it, plowing with the
land side of the plow to the row,
running as close and as deep as
possible before the lateral roots
had grown. This mold board allowed
about two-thirds of the
earth to tall back into the furrow,
leaving a pulverized soil
for the roots to peuetrate easily.
The next working was with the
same mold-board running this
time with the moid-board side ot
the plow to the row, just outside
of the last working. Very little
earth thrown, but euough to
fill the furrow left by the first
working. Thereafter he was cnrelultoplow
not near enough or
deep to disi urb t he grow ing roots.
This left the land level and being
in fine condition, the roots
easil}' penetrated it, and were
not disturbed by the process of
cultivation. As a result his corn
crop never failed, and yielded
good returns.

Advance in Price of Cotton.
New York special in Wednesday's
Charlotte Observer: Today's
cotton market has been ihe
wildest since the wild markets
of the famous Sully year. Three
dollars a bale, at least, has been
added to the prospective value
of a short crop which appears inevitable.
The central figure in
the market has been Theodore
Price who has ever since cotton
touched 9^ cents last February
been steadiest in his prediction
and worked for higher prices.

Department
Sowing Crimson and Other
Clovers at Last "Working
of Corn.
The high price of cowpeis this
year will cause farmers to use
subsfcistutes for this croo. where
ver it is practicable. For sowing
in corn, cotton or other cull
tivated crops, at the last working,
crimson clover is unquestionably
the best that can be used. Satisfactory
stands are nearly always
secured, sown in this way. Crimson
clover, and, iu fact all clovers
and grasses, will do much better
when sown on a firm seed bed,
and the preparation and cultivation
of corn seems to give ideal
conditions of preparation tor this
crop. We would also recommend
the seeding of other clovers
at the last working of corn and
other cultivated crops, as results
the past two or tbfee years have
been satisfactory, when sown at
that time. It is also very desirable,
in view of lubor conditions,
to get as much land as possible
into crops that do not require
annual cultivation or preparation.
Putting the land down in Red,
Alsike and Mammoth clovers will
secure crops that will yield profitable
returns lor at least two or
three years, and at the same
time improve toth the condition
and productiveness of the fields
wherever they are sown. It is
becoming a very general custom

of Alsike with the Red or the

Horse Notes.
The well-fed colt ren uirea more
exercise than the average poorly
fed one.
The value of any horse is increased
or lessened by his education
or training.
Hard driving after heaity eating
is more injurious than hearty
eating alter hard driving.
Keep the horse so that you will
never have to be making excuses
for his appearance.
Next to pedigree comes the
action, disposition, endurance,
health, size, style, color, etc., ol
the parents.
A horse "*hat is shod with a
high heavy shoe should never be I
allowed to go out of a walk.
At no tinae itia horse's life!
can you make a horse out of him ;
faster than the first year.
If it is not natural for the
horse to carry his head up let
him hold it down.
A horao should never be fed
or freely watered immediately
upon being brought into the stable
hot and exhausted.
If a remarkably fast walker is
used for breaking colts, he may
teach them his gaits with very
little trouble.
Feed liberally of the right kind
of feed and nature will do the
re*t, so f?r as bodily development
is concerned.
Fast walking, like every other
fa. t gait, is the inherent power
to perform the moat service in
the least possible time.
In the horse perhaps more than
in any other animal are the dig
ease of tho sire and dam apparent

in the offspring. .
As a rule it will be safe to
feed as much as the horse will
eat with apparent relish; and
then with plenty of. exercise he
will not become overloaded with
fat.
As a rule, while an ample allowance
of such roughness as
hay, straw and stalks should be
supplied, it should always be
less than the animal would eat
had it free access to this provender.
Reject a horse with a narrow
or shallow chest. There is not

Also reject one with front legs
very close together. These two
delects generally go together.?

Dairy Notes.
Rich milk is lighter in weight
than poor milk.
One of the essential things in
getting clean milk is to milk
clean cows with clean hands.
The test ot the churn will
show the quality ot the milk and
the value of the cows.
It is not the breed nor the
pedigree, but tlie cow that must
eat the teed and give the milk.

than it needs.

er calves, and both calf and cow
will do much bet ter.
The dairy cow should be one
that will convert feed into milk 1
and butter, and that will no' get J
overtat because you feed her
well.
Warm cream and rapid churning
mean a large amount of butter
lost in the buttertnilic as well
as soft butter, which is hard to
handle alter it cures.
Profits in dairying depend very
largely upon the ability of the
farm and the farmer to produce
what is needed by the cows right
on the farm.
With the cow clean at milking
time, the milker clean and clean
pails and other tinware, the pro

sweet cream is well in baud.
If the cream loams in the
churn it is too cold, it too warm ;
it cures too soon, and there is a
loss of bulter in the buttermilk.
A tail ore to feed a dairy cow
sufficient t o^s up ply her natural
demands and enough to admit ol
her making a good quantity of J
milk even for one time is an op-1
portunitv lost forever.
II a cow has any defect in her;
udder the same defect is very
often manifest in her heifer
calves, and it is rarely be9t to
raise her calves for the dairy.
It is not always the cow will
make the most butter in a week
that is best, but the one that will
make the most in a vear with
the least feed.
It is claimed that if the cream
is churned when sweet considerable
butter will bt lost in the
buttermilk, and the butter will
lack flavor, no matter what the
cows are fed.
