Short Talks tVllti Firmiri on Farm Topics. K1KST WORKING OF CORN. In the olden time the coulter was the favorable plow at the first working of corn. The idea was to ran very near the corn with a plow .- . .i j:- i . which threw little dirt and yet broke the soil very deep. Perhaps the deep breaking at the early stage of the crop did little harm in the way of root cattiDg. The coulter certainly had the merit of not dirt ing the yoang corn heavily. The modern, the more rational, and we think the better plan, is to break the land deeply and pulverize it thoroughly before the seed are by plowing shallow. Whilst it is desirable that the soil should be r . . sufficiently loose for roots to ramify iwD,i, i,0,ir. if nt .n frTr through it readily, it is not well for it to be so open that the roots can not make close contact with the an.fli Olz-iai niin r 'l rtt i j 1 ml" onfln 4 ,, . r oauie iu Lue uiuuei autRiiuuuu ei moisture. We recognize this fully in setting out plants they perish if dirt is not pressed to the roots, or compacted about them by water ing. Now, any fair, arable soil which has been well broken late in winter or early in spring, will ordinarily retain enough looseness for roots to penetrate it easily. It will also acquire a certain degree of compactness from natural set tling and the action of rain. In short, it gets into about the right condition for the needs of the plant, and should not be further disturbed during the growing season. Snr- face plowing is another matter that is desirable; deep plowing is tin- desirable. If the laud is of close, waxy tex ture, and has been run together by heavy rains subsequent to the breaking, it may be advisable as a choice of evils to side corn deep and close ; but, except in such ex treme case, it is better to use the sweep from the beginning and con tinuing its use to the end. When we eay sweep, we mean a shallow running, wide cutting plow. Bven a cultivator may be run too deep. The special point to be guarded in the first workmg of corn is. not to dirt it too freely. The habit of corn is, to send out successive whorls of roots from successively higher and higher joints ending finally in the brace roots, which start well above ground. If the corn is heavily dirted whea young, it is induced to push out roots higher along its stem at an earlier period than it would naturally do. The lower whorls of roots seem to be smothered, as it were, and the plant seeks relief in new roots nearer the surface. The last formed roots of corn (brace roots) naturally , such land, the lir.-t thing is to lind go downwards, penetrating quite a favorable outflow for the water, deep in the soil. Even these, ; This should be not less than four therefore, do not call for hilling up , or live feet below the general sur of the corn. But if dirt must be face of the field, but we often have thrown up to the plants. let them to accept such an outlet as w e can be started in water furrow and get.

The day's bevond that what eood can be ac- complished bv piling up a little dirt around the base of the stalk T Eidging, unquestionably, makes i)lants suffer more from drought. Other things being equal, evapo ration of moisture is directly pro lortional to amount of surface. Ridge land presents decidedly more surface to the air than that which is flat. Every one has no- ticed how the drvine ot a wet bot- torn in spring is facilitated by bed ding it op. In billy regions the ridging of land is, moreover, the principal cause ot washing. For the sake of the crop. then, as well as for the benefit of the land, keep the surface flat. Set plows to throw as little dirt as possible. Don't let the grass get such a start that you will be forced to "wrap it up." W. L. J., in Atlanta Con- Wroiiir a-ul lint 1' tl Itemed v .'

The water may come solely from the rains; it may come from rain and water flowing from higher ground, or it may come up in springs from beneath the land it self. If it comes from ot her ground, that source should be cut off by ditches and the water conducted awav. If it comes trorn springs. they should be found and the water from them conducted away, either in open ditches or 111 deep-laid covered ones, which are better, be cause the surface of the field may then be left smooth.

The idea oi an escape was broached in February, but it was the l.:h of April when the first real move was made. The only show was to tun nel under the fence and come out by night. There was a guard sta tioned on elevated platforms about the mclosure by day. and at night a chain of sentinels walking regu lar be. its outside the fence. We calculated on a tunnel not less than thirty feet long, and it was begun by taking up some of the flooring in the back end of our shanty. Visits of inspection were held twice per week, but there was not a day in which some official was not lia ble to come poking around. The floor of our shanty rested on sleepers clear of the ground. We could therefore stow away a great deal of the dirt under the ttoor. We worked only at night, and that in reliefs ot two. We first went down four feet, and then started oil on a straight line for the fence and beyond. We were almost at the fence before we had to carry any of the dirt out doors. We managed to scatter a ouantitv around out house without exciting suspicion, and the res: had to be accumulated during the night and carried out in our pockets. It was slow v. ork when we reached that point, and (Hi two or three ditl'erent occa.-ions we came Aery near being exposed by officials dropping in 0:1 us.

To pre- serve tightness notwithstanding variations in temperature, another small balloon is placed inside the large one, and the volume of this small balloon, which is filled with atmospheric air, can be increased or diminished by pumping iu or exhausting air bv means of an air 1 1-.
