' i j. (.. THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. REPAIRING LANO FOR CORN. The Mutilfiilil Advantage of Giving tha Plants a Ooinl Start. Early In the spring the land la plow rd for coin, nnd for several reasons, the first Doing the desire to allow the frost to pulverize the soil and aUo to destroy the cutworms. This la very nwewwry If god land Is to be imod for com, as the damage done by cutworms Is often mich as to prevent the making of a crop, as well as en tailing much additional labor for re planting. There Is a saving of time by early plowing because the teams will be busy later on. 8ol land Bhould be plowed In the fall and left unhar rowed ani then cross plowed la tha spring. In some sections the farmers work over the land with a disc har row In the spring, If the sod was turn ed under In the fall, but It la better to plow In the spring, and then use the disc harrow to cut up and pulverize the boII. All heavy yields of corn have been Becured on land that was made fine and put In the best pos sible condition for the seed. The first preparation for corn Is one-half the udvantago, as It gives the young plants an early and vigorous growth., and Increase their capacity for se curing plant food as well as enabling them to better withstand drought. It Is customary to use all kinds of manure on corn land, no matter how coarse it may be, for the reason that the corn plant Is a gross feeder, and completely covers the surface of the ground with a netting of roots and rootlets, but If a large yield Is desired It will be found that the better the condition of the manure, and the near er its approach to solubility, the more vigorous the corn plants at the start. If the manure Is unrotted, and must decompose In tho soil, it will be only when tho plants are nearly ready to mature that the manure will begin to become available, and a large pro portion will remain over until the sec ond year, which Is no loss but prevents its use for the crop of the first year tjA a time when the plant food Is most required by the crop. Cultivation of corn should be done with the object of giving It an early start so as to get the plants ahead of the weeds and to afford the greatest root capacity before the dry weather of summer comes. It may happen that the manure Is Inferior, and af fords but little benefit, especially at first. If the plants do not have a bright green color apply 100 pounds f nitrate of soda per acre, and the effect will be fjlckly noticeable after the next rain, but if sod land Is used for corn the nitrogen will In all prob ability not be lacking, but a bag of nnely ground bone meal may be used. Keep the cultivator in the field until the weeds tind grass have been com pletely subdued, for If this is not don? the labor applied to growing a corn crop will be partly lost as tho yield may be reduced below the cost of pro duction. Why tha Churn Churns. The most plausible theory for tho Reparation of the butter fat in cream by the churn, is that the fat globules in milk and cream being surrounded by a thin layer of liquid milk serum. the concussion of the churning causes the usually round, uniform, floating globules to harden into irregular shapes, which results in their ad hering to each other until the enlarg ing granules of butter can be seen by the naked eye. For some time before the butter "comes," or the cream "breaks," tho fat globules have been massing together, and the usually rapid increase in size after they aro visible is due to the greater surface exposed. Just as a rolling snowball grows fastest at the last. The factors which affect the completeness of the churning are stated by Director J. L. Hills, of Vermont, to Include the food of the cows, the period of their lac tation, tho creaming and ripening, the size and kind of churn, with the heat and density of the cream. There seems however, to bo no relation between tho sourness of the cream, the tempera ture, the curd In the butter, and the time needed for churning. American Agriculturist. llarnya.nl Manure. Speaking of barnyard manure, Prof. Bailey says there are sound scientific reasons for llio high esteem In which this manure is held. It contains all the fertilizing elements required by plants in forms that insure plentiful crops and permanent fertility to the soil. It not only enriches the soil wltih the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash which It contains, but it also renders the stored-up materials of the soil more available, improves Its me chanical condition, makes it warmer and enables it to retain more mois ture or to draw it up from below. rrofltlou KIHiN. What to do with a profitless field is a matter of consideration by all farm ers who are so unfortunate as to have such fields. The majority use these lands as pastures, upon which they turn tho stock, but It will pay to aim. to grow green crops on the land, to bo turned under. If this is done for two or three years, and the land lined it will be found that such method will restore fertility at a small cost com pared with the increased value of tho field. renting Cattle.

The following from a correspondent of the Practical Fwmcr contains sound doctrine: Generally potatoes cut to one eye on a piece make such small pieces that they do not contain enough vitality to give the plant a good strong start, and should the ground be In a dry condition and no rain for ten days the email cut piece drys up, and you have a poor stand. On our soil I havs always bad better results la using Uioea cut in two or three eyes. THt INQUISITIVE CLERK- IT t'lnd n Ctiatiitnr Who I Tim Marh Inr film. The lnuulbdtlTe clerk is everywhere, and everybody has had an experience with him. One of the genus was "called down" to a remarkably funny manner In a west end drug store re cently. A tall, solemn looking man, came In and asked for a half dozen tlx-ounce bo t ilea. "Bottles ?'' asked the clerk. i "Yes, bottles," responded the man. ( "With or without corks?" asked he. ; "With cors," was the response, f "Want 'cm empty?" ; "Certainly." , T ; "And new?" "Do you suppose I want bottlns you've been keeping strychnine In?" The clerk said such an Idea never entered his mind, and then asked: "What do you want them for?" "To break." responded the Impa tient customer, promptly. "What?" The customer beckoned him to lean over the counter, and caught hold of the lapel of the clerk's coat and whis pered: "I wouldn't want the neighbors ta get onto It, but I rnther like to hear 'em crack. Just n whim of mine. It's better than breaking windows, and gives me Just as much pleasure, but my supply has given out, and I want a few to hold me over until the next curload arrives." The clerk looked at the customer doubtfully. "Oh, well, of course It's nothing to me," he said. "Then what made you ask about It?" The clerk made no reply, but got the bottles. As he was making the change, however, the spirit moved him to ask: , "What do you do with the corks?" ' "Chew "em," was the reply. "It's good for the digestion. Try it soma time." Then the customer walked out, and the clerk shook his head and tapped his forehead, but he asked no mors fluestlons. St. Louis Post. Why Fa Wore Ma's Clothe.. Sarah Ann Pa!

It was the custom not many year! ce,o, in certain parts of Scotland, for the minister to make catechetical vis itations among his people. An am Uf.ing anecdote is related of a worthy, Scotch woman, who, intent upon her own trouble, made honest, but per sonal, answer to tho minister's ques tions. Her husband, .whose name was Adam, had one very serious fault, for which he had been severely repied by the minister. Seeing the good man approaching one day, Adam, who was Just getting over a drinking spell, htd himself under the bed, and told his Wife to say that he was off fishing. The minister came In, and was po litely received by Jenny. He began by asking If she had studied the cat ecliism which he had left at his last visit. " 'Deed, sir, an' I hae studied it a miickle bit," was her answer. Thinking to test her knowledge a little, the minister asked, "Weel, Jen ny, can ye tell me the cause o' Adam's lall?" Jenny's mind was too much occur pied with the misdeeds of her own Adam to give any thought to the great progenitor of the human race, and she replied, with some warmth: ' 'Deed, sir. It was naethlng else but drink;" and then she turned towards the bed and said: "Adam, ye may as weel come oot, for the doctor kens brawly what's the matter; some clashin' deevils of no.bors hae telt him a' aboot It. Sae coom oot an' speak for yoursel'." Knew What He Win About. At one of our holiday resorts during the season, a coach used to run daily between the town and some ruins few miles out, stopping at an Inn for dinner. The landlord of the inn used to make a tidy sum (which he shared) with the coachman) by doing the pas sengers out of their meal. A good) repast was provided, but the passen gers were hardly allowed to be seated before the signal was given to start. One day, after the coach had depart ed, the landlord discovered a traveller etill enjoying a harty meal. He grew uneasy as he saw the eatables disap pearing under his very eyes, but far more so when he noticed that all the silver spoons and forks were missing. On the traveller describing a suspicious-looking character among tho passengers, an ostler was hastily dis patched to bring back the coach. On its arrival out walked .he accuser, who, Instead of helping to Identify, the thief, took his seat on the coach, and, addressing thefurlous landlord, cooly remarked: "Thanks for my fool feed. You'll Tind them spoons and forks in the coffee-pot. Right awsy, driver." ttln Hurl: at Him "What do you henr from Hiram?" said Mrs. Sunup. "How's be doiu'at college?"
