CORN CULTURE.
Bulletin 46, of Illinois 8tation, 64 of
Kansas Station, and 46 of Maryland
Station detail e-perient3 in corn cul
tare.
At the Illinois Station some plats
were cultivated 1 inch deep, others 2
inches, others 3, and eo on up to 6
inches deep, and others were not culti
rated at all, but had all grass and
weeds pulled out by hand,' and others
still wero mulched 6 inches deep with
straw and received no cultivation or
weeding. The mulched plats yielded
an average of 94 bushels per acre ; those
uncultivated but hand weeded, 87
bushels; thoso cultivated 3 inches deep
and those 6 inches deep, gave the same
yield 8 bustrela per acre; tUcse culti
vated 1 inch deep yielded 85 bushels ;
those 4 inches deep, 83 bushels; and
these plowed with a shovel plow, 81
bushels. In previous years tests at
that station, shallow cultivation has
always given beat results, but 96 was
a year of abundant rainfall, and little
cultivation was necessary except to
keep down weeds.
In variety tests, of 18 varieties, Boone
County White stood first, Learning
second, and Legal Tender third, yield
ing 107i, 107, and 97 bushels per acre,
respectively.
At the Kansas Station, corn planted
acre, and that is the point aimed at in
the Gesrgia tests. Twenty' varieties
were tested, the seeding obtained from
the originators. The tests show that
in both '95 and 96 the 9 varieties giv
ing the heaviest total yields also gave
the largest per centage of lint, and that
they had the largest bolls and, with
one exception the largest seeds, and
were the earliest. In money value per
acre they stood in the following order:
Texas Oak, Strickland's Improved,
King's Improved, Nancy Hanks, Cleve
land's Improved, Jones Reimproved,
Minor's, Truett'a Improved, Jones' Im
proved. Excepting Texas Oak and
Strickland's Improved, none of them
gave much yield after Sept. 15.
In six years tests at the Georgia Sta
tion, as to distance, 4 feet by 1 foot
gave the best yield 4 times, 4x2 once,
and 4x3 once. 4x4 8 tan diner last ever
tive. The conclusion is, that on land
of average fertility, with rows 4 feet
apart, the plants should stand 1 foot
apart in the row, and on rich land two
to three feet, while on poor land they
should stand 8 or 10 inches apart.
In these testa as to best width be
tween rows, results show that the best
yield is obtained when the space allotted
to each plant is as near the form of a
equare as possible, and the lightest;
yield was obtained from rows 3 feet; i
seed are in good condition; and, con
trary to expectations, medium and late
varieties give better results in late
planting than the early or quickly ma
turing kinds. Potatoes Fpread one
layer deep on a barn floor or in shallow
boxes, several weeks before planting,
and expose d to strong light but not sun
shine, put out short, stout, green buds,
and come up in one week, grow with
great vigor, and mature early. Late
planting usually gives Emaller crops,
but the advantages are, they may fol
low early crops of other kinds and they
keep better than the earlier plantings.
To prevent ecab, seed should bo sowed
not more than one hour in the corrosive
sublimate solution sometime before
planting, and should be spread out to
dry before cubing. Such troatment
does no good if the land grow scabby
potatoes the previous year. Use fresh
land. Insects carry potato blight from
one hill to another.

EARLY CHICKS.
It is coming to be more generally un
derstood that profitable poultry keeping
demands early hatched chickens. Un
less the pullets can be got to laying in
the fall, any subsequent returns from
them during their first year will be
seriously handicapped by the expense
of keeping them through the first win
ter without any production of eggs.
Then, too, it is necessary to set the
chicks out early in order to get the
cockerels cf to market while prices
are good and before they have a chance
to "eat their heads off." In these days
of incubators early hatching as a very
simple matter, so far as the mechanical
part of the work goes; but when it
comes to sitting early jchickers out of
early eggs ah 1 there's the rub. The

The trouble is generally with the hens
that laid the eggs they were out of
condition. In our zeal to make the
hens lay well during the winter when
eggs are high we are likely to overfeed
them and to get them fat. .Then the
germs become weakened and fail to
batch. Again winter layers are not
