I have been wanting to tell v?n: ol a plan some of our farmer* have been working at for several yearwilh considerable success. All know that 30J0 stalks ol large, tall corn on an acre is pretty welt crowded, especially in times ot drought; but 3000 small stalk* would nut sutler so much. 60 th<pUn is not to stimulate the stalk too much at the start, but to apply the manure later and put in the ear. K W Ma??ey, than whom we have no batter authority, says that corn requires more stimulus while shooting and tas*eliu?r than at any other stage of growth. 1 have often seen a tassel out and dried and the pollen gone before the silk could force ilsell through the shout lor the lack ol that stimulus. If 500 put a quick acting manure or fertilizer like nitrate ' of soda in the drill before planting corn* the stalk will ?et it* and eery little will be left to make the ear at the critical bearing period. 1 - ave otten seen a big. overgrown talk with a email ear. all shuck an l little corn. But suppose with double quantities ??i manure you get big ears on big staiks; it costs more, n will suiFcr more in drv weather and bother rou with ?t:ckers. Some say 1101 to pull I'fF the suckers, but 1 hare looked closHv and cannot see it that way. You would about an well let another stalk stand on land already too crowded as to leave the -net ors. lne great troube in applying nistiiire la?t? is gelling: it deep coutgo i 11 rh'? moist ground. -A neipli .or ???' ? app'ied green c? tlu-i ?n.?d around lite stalk alter J~~I In* ^ '>?id plowing in dry. sandy land; a drouth prevailed and >omol* the reed newr sprouted till too late. If pootl seasons had come it would hare been all right. Another neighbor put atutnottiated fertile r in the siding furrow at the last plowing when the corn was silking and made right good corn on poor land that bid fair to fail. Mr I) F Baxley, who always makes pood crops, puts his raw cotton seed, when lie plants, hail way between the hills of corn, so the corn does not get it at first. This Is h modification but still the stalk is 'most too rank to stand protracted drouth. Li*t year I had a garden plot, highly fertilized in the center furrow before planting, that grew exceedingly large and fine, but utterly failed duaini. the drouth in July, while mv field crop stood it well <nd made good corn. But every oody to his notion. Plant as you ^please?but doD't put nitrate ol soda, or quick-acting manures under the com when you plant. Cotton is different; you can't start it too soon. But, Mr Editor, the roads! the road.-!

"Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea; behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. ^ Scott's Emulsion is the modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is voo rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most | refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.
