Farm Notes!
The time to make corn is when the
plants are young and growing, for it is
important to get the crop pushed for-
ward rapidly in order to escape the
dry season of summer: If the plants
make good headway, and are well
rooted, with large leaf capacity, they
will be better prepared to secure mois-
ture from below and to avoid the usual
drawbacks which befall the small and
tender plants that are late in getting
iy It is also when the corn is
young that the cultivator should be
used, as much as possible, for any
weeds or grass at the time the young
stalks are appearing will interfere with
their progress. When it is remember-
ed that a difference of two weeks in a
season may be the turning point of
loss or profit with a crop of corn, too
much attention cannot be given the
details in the beginning. If the land
has been plowed and harrowed until
the soil is deep and fine it will prove
of great advantage at this time, and if
kept loose and mellow with the culti-
vator the ground will become warm
much sooner than if no care was taken
and more moisture will also be secured
from rains.
FERTILIZERS AND MANURE.
Corn is a gross-feeding plant, and
will not object to any kind of manure,
which may be broadcasted at the time
the land is prepared for the seed, but
it is seldom that farmers have a suffi-
ciency of manure for a large field, and
they should not hesitate to use fertil-
izers. The best ‘‘starter’” for corn is
to mix two hundred pounds of nitrate
of soda with about 100 pounds of land
plaster (the plaster serving as a drier,)
and broadcast it over the soil, using a
small quantity on the hills around the
corn, if preferred. Of course it is bet:
ter to apply all fertilizers before seeding
the land, but if this has not been done
the nitrate may be used as directed,
and about a week later there should be
applied between the rows about - 250
pounds of sulphate of potash and 300
pounds of bone meal. The corn will
show the beneficial effects of the ni-
trate of soda as soon 8s the first rain
falls to dissolve it, and the leaves will
take on a deep green tinge, which will
indicate the appearance of the plants
as thrifty.
WEEDS AND GRASS.
A corn crop enables ‘he farmer to
kill out weeds and grags in the field by
cultivating the plants, but to thor-
oughly clean a field there must be no
“laying by” of the crop, in the usual
acceptation of the term, as applied to
corn, as long as there are any weeds or
grass, as much of the seeding of the
ground with weeds is due to allowing
some of them to escape by ceasing cul-
tivation too soon. The cultivation
should be shallow—just stirring the
soil—the object being to kill weeds
and loosen the surface soil, instead of
disturbing the roots of the corn. A
loose soil forms a mulch over the
ground and prevents loss of moisture
by evaporation, and also enables the
soil to absorb water from rains more
easily instead of allowing it to flow
away, as may be the case if the
ground is hard or baked.
—Farmers do not have that knowl
edge of their affairs that they should,
as many of them keep no books.
When the census is taken they can give
but little information in regard to the
number of bushels of grain grown each
year or the value of their live stock,
hence much must be derived from es-
timates rather than from facts present-
ed. Every farmer should keep books,
and set down all the items of receipts
and expenses.
—A plow in Germany has been
worked successfully with electricity
and in this country an electric weed
killer has been tested which kills the
weeds, the current being generated on
the car, passing out through a brush
and from thence it is brought in con-
tact with the weeds. The circuit is
completed through the wheels of the
car and the ground.
—Do not overlook buckwheat as a
summer crop. It grows on poor land,
but yields mere largely if the land is
rich. It is. considered a profitable
crop for plowing under in the fall, be-
ing used for renovating poor land. Its
blossoms afford excellent forage for
bees at a time when they can find but
few honey-producing plants on which
to work.
—A farmer who has tried several
modes of destroying cut worms finds
that an excellent method is to use a
stick three feet long and 1} inches in
diameter, sharpened at one end, ‘with
which two or three holes are punched
in the ground near each plant. The
cut worm is sluggish and falls into the
hole, from which he cannot easily es-
cape.
—The best time to cut any grass for
hay is just when the seed is about to
form. Cutting should never be defer-
red until the seeds are dry, as the
plant is in the best condition for stock
when in the milky stage, the nutritious
matter being then arrested in the
stalks.
— Bitter milk comes from bad feed.
The rag weed which follows a crop of
rye or oats, dog fennel, bitter weed and
the like, although but little may be
eaten, will often impart a bitter flavor
to the milk of cows pastured in such a
field. Even this trouble can be over-
come. x ig
— Wood ashes make the best fertil-
izer for crimson clover. Although
this clover thrives on land that has
been used until but little fertility re-
mains, yet it needs plant food and
givee the best resulte when manure or |
ashes (or both) are applied.
