We do not believe in root-pruning for
the corn crop. As the roots develop the
cultivation should be more and more
shallow until at the last it consists in
merely stirring the surface soil.
Dead leaves, cornstalks and all rubbish
which will decay may be disposed of bet
ter than by burning. Thia by making
into a compost heap, which In future
value to the gardener will repay all the
labor that you put upon it.
The first spring work consists of the
very important matter of "clearing up."
Don't begin anything else until you have
cleared up the entire premises and freed
them from the unsightly accumulations
always disclosed by winter's departure.
The corn crop must make its growth
in a comparatively brief tima See then
that you help it to the utmost by careful
and clean cultivation. Unless it is en
abled to improve each shining hour, you
cannot hope for a crop that will till the
granary.
A man who permits fence rows to har
bor weeds cannot maintain a reputation
as a good farmer. It either proves that
he is very slack in his methods or that
the farm' does not pay well enough to al
low putting any labor upon such use
less (?) accessories.
There is a little time in early summer
when even the bet farmers arc apt to
get rushed, because the weeds grow bo
fast. Bather than let them get ahead of
you it will pay to hire extra help for
awhile. The crops will be enough better
to pay the expense.
There is no piece of land upon the
farm but that can be put to some profit
able use. If too rough to cultivate, rent
it to a good flock of sheep. If you don't"
fancy that, plant it with foreBt trees.
Don t let it remain idle, for then it is a
tax and not a gain to own it.
About the safest investment that a
man can make is to buy good real estate.
This is particularly so if the land is pro
ductive and not idle. For this reason
farms are good investments, and farmers
should not be anxious to sell out, even if
they do have a poor year or two.
In discussing the question of good
roads not enough attention is paid to the
methods of preserving them after they
are made. Wide tires on the wagons are
important to this end. In France, where
they have the best roads in the world,
four-inch to six-inch tires are common.
If you practice level cultivation with
the potato crop, you will simplify your
later and follow a sensible method. In
level culture everything but the digging
ia easier, and this' is not bo difficult as to
be an objection. One of the best pre
ventives of mildew on plants is pow
dered lime. It should be dusted over
them when wet with dew or just after a
rain and repeated as often as necessary.
It is a good check for potato-vine disease,
perfect butter at one operation.
If a little skill is developed in making,
washing, salting, working and packing
butter at one operation, the results are
quite satisfactory. John Gould describes
his process as follows: "Taking Blightly
acid.cream, put it in a revolving churn,
and churn it until it begins to show
signs of breaking, when a little weak
brine should be added to the cream to
assist in the separation. When the but
ter grains are the size of small shot and
before taking out anv buttermilk add
two-thirds as much cofd water as there
is butter, etc., in the churn. Agitate a
little, draw off this diluted fluid and re
peat until the water comes clear. Then
let it drain in a churn for a short time,
and then add the salt bv the use of a
little wooden fork. Let tlie butter re
main undisturbed for a half hour, when
the cover is put on and the churn slowly
revolved for five or more minutes. Then
take this fork and break up the butter
halls that have formed in the churn, and
liberate the buttermilk inside of them.
Then rechurn, and at the conclusion of
the operation pack the butter into the
little pails by adding a pound or so at a
time, turning off the moisture each time
until the pail is full. Then cover the
top with a cloth wet in some of the brine
that came from the churn, and sprinkle
on dry salt and put on cover; and, if the
butter cannot be sold that dav, put it in
as cool a place as possible, and Bell at the
first opportunity, not that it must be,
but the great damage to the butter mar
ket is in the producers holding their but
ter for Borne reason until it has lost its
fine flavor."
