THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CROSSING OF CORN.
All farmers are aware that different
varieties of corn will rxix, a3 it is called,
and some attention is usually paid in
planting to prevent it where it would
unfavorably affect a choice variety. This
crossing, wherever it occurs, is caused
by the fertilization of the pistils, the
silk, of one variety by the pollen dis
tributed from the tassels of another.
At the Kansas station for three seasons
past careful experiments have been made
in the artifical pollination of corn. In
18S8, forty-one varieties were used;
sixty-six attempts at cross fertilization
were made, of which thirty-nine were
successful. As a practical summary of
the results, it is said that the numerous
crosses of maize by artifical pollination
were mostly successful, the different
races, as dent, flint, soft, sweet and pop
corn, with apparently equal resistance.
The effects of the crossing are in com
paratively few cases (mostly sweet va
rieties) visible the first year. The sec
ond year (the second generation) shovs
generally ears more or less completely
blended, often exactly intermediate be
tween the two parental types ; more rare
ly the grains of a single ear are unlike
each other, and each may resemble close
ly or remotely either parent. The product
or the third year is generally true to the
seed planted ; by selecting diverse grains
from any ear or from different years,
ears are obtained with grains usually like
those planted. Any desired form of a
"cross" can therefore apparently be per
petuated. In view of the above it is possible to
effect desired points of improvement in
varieties by crossing, and fixing or per
fecting by subsequent selection. The
experiments the past season were much
reduced in value by reason of serious
drouth. Favorable season s will doubt
less furnish more favorable or at least
more conclusive result in the efforts to
improve varieties.
rational corn culitki:.
The necessity lor frequent stirring of
thesoiliua cornfield is paramount for
itself alone. If no weed ever appeared
there would still be need for frequent
cultivation. A few years ao I left ten
rows through a cornfield unworked,
while the rest of the field was cultivated
every week until the tassels appeared.
The weeds in those ten rows were pulled
by hand, and there were very few, for
the grounl was a sod deeply plowed, and
harrowed thoroughly tip to the time the
corn was plauted. The stalks iu the ten
rows were more than three feet shorter
than those in the rest of the field, and
there was scarcely a siuc.de ear that was
filled out to the end. The rest of the
field, which was a few square yards over
two acres, yielded one hundred and nine-ty-eiijht
bushels of shelled corn, esti
mating two bushels of ears for one ot
grain. The corn was husked by the
bushel and measured twice, so that no
mistake was made in the measure. The
ten rows made up exactly one-fifth of an
acre (thirty-two rods), and gave only
eleven and a half bushels of corn. Every
thing else being equal, the difference,
being over forty bushels to the acre, was
clearly due to the absence of cultivation,
the ground being baked and dry the
greater part of the time. Since then 1
left one strip on the side of a field,
measuring exactly an acre, without either
cultivation or weeding, and it yielded
fourteen bushels of poor corn, the rest
of the field yielding forty-two bushels ot
grain to the acre. In 1SS9 I had an
eight-acre field that yielded enough to
completely fill a five-hundred-bushel
crib, equal to over thirty bushels oi
shelled corn per acre, on a very poor old
field that was newly broken up, and
without manure, but was cultivated eight
times, while my half of a rented four
acre field, worked only twice, amounted
to one wagon load of ears, equal to
twenty bushels of grain, and this small
field was much better soil than the old
field.
My practice for many years has been
to work the corn once a week, beginning
ou Monday when the weather was suita
ble, and continue the working as long a
a horse can get through the rows without
breaking the stalks aud thl is usually
until the ears begin to hang out in the
rows and the culti ration has alwavs
been ol. tiie surface. Some years ago a
heavy rain washed a slope on one of my
fields very badly, and exposed a fine net
work of roots lor several square rods,
which completely filled the soil. Several
of the plants were washed loose, and
couli be taken up with the roots. The
roots of many plants were eight feet long,
spreading over nearly three rows each
way, and they lay very near the surface.
In places roots were abundant at a depth
of two inches, and very few were as deep
down as the land had been plowed.
More recent examinations, made pur
posely, have convinced me that this is
the habit of the corn plant to send out
its rcots near the surface. It may be
that surface manuring with fertilizers
tends to such a habit of root growth, but
soluble fertilizers quickly diffuse them
selves through the soil, "and it may be
that the desire for the sun's heat, which
corn so much needs, brings these roots to
the surface.
It is clear that a plant having such a
superficial root growth should not be
plowed, but requires only surface culti
vation; for the breaking of the roots
must necessarily check the growth of the
plants. I had once a plain demonstra
tion of this fact. A field of Evergreen
sweet com was partly plowed, contrary
to my instructions, by a willful hired
man, who laughed at my shallow cultiva
tion of the rest of the fkld. He plowed
it deeply aud ridged up the rovs until I
discovered aad stooped him. The
weather was hot. The corn wilted at
once and never grew afterward. Not
one ear was gathered from the plowed
rows, while the rest of the. field averaged
over eleven thousand ears per acre,
rounted for the market. To break the
feedng roots of a plant is clearly to stop
its feeding, and to turn all the power of
growth to repair the damage and make
new roots; at a time, too, when all the
strength of the plants is required to form
the blossom or the gram. Something
has been said of the usefulness of root
pruning corn. It is equivalent to draw
ing a cow's teeth when she is busy turning
good grass into milk and butter, and
equally prevents the gathering of nutri
ment. It is practiced for this special pur
pose in fruit culture, for checking the
growth of trees to reduce the amount of
new wood, and it has the same effect
upon the corn which we waut to hasten
to maturity as soon as possible, and to
aid in every way in enabling it to gather
food and increase its product.
For this reason the cultivation ot corn
should be early aud often, and as late a;
may be possible, and al ways ou the sur
face, merely keeping the soil loose and
mellow, and absorbent of moisture and
the heat of the sun. It helps, too, very
aiuch to apply fifty pounds per acre ot
some active soluble fertilizer immediately
after the working of the soil at intervals
through the summer, especially when the
blossoms, the tassel, and the silk art
about to appear, and when the grain is
about to form after the impregnation ol
the silk. These are periods in the life
of a plant when extra feeding will greath
assist in the performance of these repro
ductive functions upon which full ears
and sound grain, and early maturity de

The Agricultural Situation a Serious
Problem.
Commissioner Nesbitt Calls Attention
to 4 A Defective System" and
Proposes Remedies.
The Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, Slale Com
missioner of Agriculture of Georgia, has
vritten a letter to the prcs in which he
avs :
'"A defective system of agriculture
long and ruinously continued has reduced
our farming industry to such a condition
that many owners of even large tracts of
land are seeking employment iu other
channels. In whatever direction we turn
we find dissatisfaction and a feeling of
unrest. Our lands are growing poorer
each year, labor becoming scarcer and
higher, our staple crops less and less re
munerative. Agriculture has in all ages
had more than its share of the burdens
of government, and in many instances has
fallen beneath the weight, "and yet it has
always been the foundation stone upoo
which every other occupaiiou is built
Our farmers, from their numerical
strength, if from no other cause, should
'aave a share in the affairs of State, but
irom adverse circumstances and unfavor
able national laws, this class of our peo
ple have been only the burden bearers.
Poverty, ignorance and an inability 1o
me(t and cope successfully with their
more enlightened fellow-men in other
occupations, have made them timid anil
shrinking, and while other have gone
rapidly to the front in state and national
affairs they have remained in the back
ground until driven to desperation by
circumstances, often beyond their con
trol; they have been foiced into combi
nations for obtaining relief, of which the
grange, the Alliance and other organiza
tions are the outgrowth."
It is only necessary to glance backward
with Cel. Nesbitt to the old days, and
then look at the present, to see that the
depression of agriculture is a condition
and not a theory. There was a time in
the recollection of men now living when
our farms were more than self-sustaining
when plenty sat with peace at every
fireside, and when the average farmer
was thoroughly independent, out of debt
and with cash in hand.
We now live under very different ton
dilions. Wc raise cotton at au actual
io-s of several cents a pound. We de
pend upon the West for our grain and
meat, despite the fact that we could
raise it for about what it co6ts to freight
our supplies here. Worse thai: all, our
farmers are iu debt, and getting out very
slowlv.
Cof. Nesbitt thinks that it will take
years of scientific, diversified farming to
reclaim our worn-out lands, and make
them profitable after they have been so
long under a mistaken system, and the
sooner we begin the better. We must
rpgulalc cotton production plant less of
hat staple and more food crops. We
must reclaim our lauds by judicious fer
tilization and culture. In this work the
commissioner thinks that the agricultural
departments can render efficient aid if
propei ly backed by the States. It is lib
idea thai the departments should semi
out experienced and successful farmers to
imparl their methods to their less fortu
nate neighbors, and to make experiments
iu various sections.
We must not only regulate the pio
diK.iiou of cotton, but wc must reclaim
our lends. Too much stress cannot bo
laid on rhis all-important question.
' With our clean cultured ci ops we must

COOKING POTATOES PROPERLY.
There are many way3 of cooking po
tatoes, and old potatoes need rruru care
in the cooking to make them illce,. Tfcflj
should be peeled and laid in clear cold
water some time before cooking chang
ing the water two or three times, or use
ice if you have it at hand. "New pota
toes" can be made from old ones. Peel
the potatoes and cut rather small, into
even-sized pieces, put into ice water for
an hour or two; twenty minutes before
you wish to serve them drain the pota
toes from the ice water and throw into
boiling salted water, cook quickly, drain
off the water and dry the potatoes a mo
ment or two, then put in a deep hot dish,
and pour over cream sauce a pint of
sweet cream, seasoned with butter, pep
per and salt. It can be thickened if de
sired, but is more delicate without.
Potatoes done in this way are quite
equal to "new potatoes," and are usually
very well liked in the spring. Another
nice way to cook potatoes is to peel them
and let them stand some time in ice
water, then bake in a hot oven and serve
at once. The crisp brown outside h
