AGIUOULTUREm, i k anital in GROwiNU Contt.-Au experiment in corn-planting, by the I Iowa Uollege, last year, in three sepa- t rate plantings, all put in on the same ti day-May 6-each plant being 160 ti square yards, resulted as follows: The ti plat in which the hills wore 3 feet 10 p incbes by 12 inches apart, with one st stalk in a bill, produced at the rate of a: 69.00 bushels per acre; the plat planted a 3.10 by 20 inches-apart in the hillA, and o1 two stalks to a hill, produced at the q rate 'of 67 bushels to the acre; att the of third plat, planted 3.10 each way, with o four stalks to a hill, produced only at w the rate of 50 bushels to the acre. This d is an important fact to know. The ex. 3c poriment was conducted with the utmost sa care for the express purpose of deciding oc a question which has always given rise pi to a great deal of discussion, ahko as to ri the proper distances betwo < the hills w and the rows, as well as the number of at stalks in a hill. Twelve inches distance of between the hills would bealmoat equal pi to four grains in a hill at 3 feet 10 inch- sc es apart and practically smounts, to pi drilling, which of course demand addi- al tional labor in removing the weeds, and of cultivating the soil botween the hills w with the hand-hoe, as the crop could be it harrowed only one way. Vfhethor the Ic extra bushels would pay the additional it cost of labor, we do not prQtend to an swer, though the established belief is that it will not, and that is the reason sc why so few farmers adopt the drilling pi system. w_ MEADOWS AND PAsTUREs.--The frosts tl of winter heave the soil, and it is well yj to pass a roller over the meadows and hi pastures, to firm the surface and make Ju It smooth for the mowing machine. All P stones loosened by the frosts should be O1 removed; large ones, if not needed for I building purposes, may be sunk out of tl reach of the plow. Meadows may be a' much injured by live stock running it over them in early spring, when the i ground is wet, Any grazing done at to this time is at the expense of the hay i crop. It is far bettor to keep the ani- at mals in the stables and yards until the l pasture is able to furnish a full ration, d or nearly so. g Li TiE soil should not be worked :hon W too wet. Many a good field has been ti nearly spoiled for yours by such treat ment. The soil when workable will crumble in the hand,instead of remain- ci ing in a solid impression showing the as lines of the hand. Next to manure for a crops, success depends up"n thorough to preparation of the soil for the sned. If cl possible it should be so fine when rea- at dy for sowing that a double handful can ti readily be scooped up without digging gi for it. tr A GOOD sign of the times is that so many young men in starting to farm a adopt improved stock, and they become u enthusiastic, earnest and ambitious, which alone will bring success, and all the more certain on the high tide of im- at proved stock breeding. Stock of some a kind is essential to successful farming, and improved stock brings the best pro fit, quickest returns and gives a charm of prosperity and dignity to the farm., FINEL-LAvORIED, aromnatic, swe"t I butter can only be secured through the o] use of a percentage of now mich cows in the dairy at all seasone. D)arlmugton wi the famous Philadelphia butter-maker, gi milks hisa cows for the butter only three IY or four months after calving, then di- ol verts their milk to cheese or to the sui,p- lit ply of the city milk trade. Butter a' made from the milk of farrow cows is ci inclined to crumble and taste cheesy. THE fol,owing rule for estimating the ci amount of hay in a stack will be found LIl approximately correct: Ini stack, Limo- pJ thy, after ten days or two weelks' set- ll Cling, 600 cubic loot to the ton; clover, b~ 700, and p)rairie hay 550 feet. After tIl thorough settling about 500 cubic feet bli of timothy, 550 of clover, and 450 of prairie hay. To get the cubic dimen sions of a si ck, multiply the average ed length, breadth and height together. aj TI'inau is a grade of wheat in Oregon wa known as Goose wheat, so called be- m cause it originated from a fow grains ria found in the crop of a uwild goose. The to wheat hias a hardt outer husk. and the L1I bran is very coarse; it makes a pecuhiar (di gradoe of flour. Its exact dupicato is found in a small pr'ovince of Spain, and the inference is that the wild goose tI must make p)rctty rapiid time. ft ti A 0001) horse power on a farm will to each year save many times the interest O on its cost in furnishing power to do a re great mianythings, that would else have to be performecd by hand, such as saw ing wood, cutting food, grinding grain, al etc.; and with proper care it culd be h< made to last for y(ars-.t Iton a little ointment made of equal parts of kerosene, lard andl flowers of sulphur oni the heads of young chicks, is J oy tis for the first week after they it Satch and they will not be apt to be wi troubled with much vermin. , al ONE of the important p0inte in lantlt. mng seedls is to press the soil very lirmly uixon the seeds. .in setting young p)lants di the samie thing should be remembered, at It is also beneficial to strip) off some of or the leaves. of A CAiRFUL farmor says that his host fr wheat is that oni which his shioop woero pastured last winter, lte permitted the sheep to ruu in the whieatilolds only ~ w'hen the ground wasw solid, h Evicnt care and attention shown to c horses, no matter what their condtition is, will bring its reward.
