The Best Tool For Tillage.
The stirring of the soil, after the crops
are first started, is a matter of the first im
portance. From one half to three fourths
of a crop of corn may he made by tillage
alone. On old land, well stocked with
weeds, not over twenty bushels to the acre ,
could he realized without cultivation. —
Twice hoeing and cultivating would proba
bly add ten bushels to the acre, and twice
more would bring the crop up to forty
bushels per acre. We have seen estimates
from farmers who experimented upon this
point, showing that every hoeing added
from five to ten bushels to the acre.
A great deal of ingenuity has been ex
pended upon the implements ot tillage.
The hoe is good enough, but fur its expen
siveness. The light horse plow, or sweep, •
is much more economical; but these tools j
require two or three furrows to each row, \
and are a pretty heavy tax upon the
strength of the horse. The horse barrow, !
nnd cultivator, are great improvements on j
. the plow, for they are much lighter and
stir the ground deep enough. The horse- j
hoe is a much lighter implement than the
cultivator, and it a farmer is investing in '
new tools, he should get this in preference |
to the cultivator. It is merely a question
of economizing the strength of the horse, i
A irond steel-toothed cultivator will make :
a clean sweep of every weed within an
inch of the rows of corn, and stir the j
ground deep enough. A horse-hoe could
not do the work much better, though it :
would draw easier and the horse might get
over a little more ground in a day.
We need not so much better implements j
of tillage as a more frequent use of those
we have. Corn can be cultivated wholly |
with the horse, after the first weeding, if
the rows run both ways; and we doubt if j
any better use can be made of horse flesh !
after the first of June than to keep it run- j
ning between the rows of corn. We are j
confident that five times cultivating will j
pay much better than once or twice. As !
between the horse-hoe and the steel tooth
ed cultivator upon smooth land, we should
say that is the best which is most used. —

Too Old to Plant Trees.
This is the complaint of many a man in j
middle life or when rounding over the hill
of his pilgrimage, lie thinks lie shall
never live to eat of their fruit or to sit be- !
neath their shade; so it will be of no use to
plant. He's too old, too old!
W hat if you dont live, dear man, that is j
no reason for not planting. Suppose your !
predecessors had refused to plant those or- j
cliards from which you annually gather ap
ples and pears, what would have been your
lot now? And would you bless or curse >
their memories for their selfishness? Sup- i
pose your fathers had refused, for the same j
reason, to plant shade trees along the mar- j
gins of your village streets, where would j
be those noble avenues in which the pres
ent generation rejoices, and which makes |
your ancestors' names words to be spoken
only with reverence and praise? If you !
indulge such a churlish disposition, it is
doubtful whether you will live very long !
to enjoy anything; such a spirit sucks the
fountain of life dry quite early. Each
generation receives a dowry from the pre
ceding, and should hand over the inheri
tance much enlarged to the one following
it.
The Rural New Yorker once reported
the receipt of some extra fine maple sugar
from Mrs. Knapp, ofClarkson, N. Y., who
was then eighty-five years old. This lady
gathered the sap and made the sugar her
self from trees planted near her dwelling
after she was sixty years of age! What
will our grumblers say to that!— lb.
