FARM AiND HOUSEHOLD
IMPROVING SEED FOR THE ARM CROPS.

Seed Development.
"Improvement" is the waftshword of th« day. In every department of human enterprise the wheels of progress aro moving forward, except among farmers only, in the great matter o,f improving the seed for farm crops. In this there has beeu a standstill iu regard to that most important and valuable farm crop—corn.
The practice has been to go to the ordinary held and take seed from hills with two or three stalks, says the Journal of Agriculture. This at least is making no effort to iiBprove the seed. A portion of best seed should bo taken—it can be had by selecting from that on hand,or by purchase—and planted in the best soil obtainable, prepared in the best manner by deep and thorough plowing ma lie narrow furrows so as to break up the furrow, mixing the top and bottom soils completely. After plowing, harrow until made perfectly fine plant as early as the ground is dry enough after being thawed out or, where the soil does not freeze to any extent, the planting should be done as early as is practicable. The depth of planting may vary, to suit different soils. A heavy soil will not, generally, permit ns deep planting as a light soil, but three to five inches may be the limit of soils. As soon as the sprouts start from the ground run a cultivator close to the row, turning the soil slightly harrow this down, making smooth aid fine,and as soon as the corn is through the ground no that the rows may be seen, cultivation should be commenced. The rows should be made the usual width, but the hills should be about three feet apart, and but one stalk -Allowed to the hill. This will give each stalk a chance to grow to the greatest perfection possible, making it capable of producing the largest and best ear, with the largest, deepest aid best grain.
The best seed planted in the best soil with single stalks in a place, with wide spaces, will give a good chance to make the best growth and superior Beed may be expected, which, in turn, will produce the best crop. Cultivation should be continued at least once a week—twice a week would be still better—until the grains of the ear begin to harden. If cultivation ceases sooner than this the soil is liable to dry out, and the moisture of plant food arising out of the earth by capillary action will break through the dry ground and escape into the air but if the soil is kept mellow by'cultivation, the fertility and moisture coming up will be held at the-roots by the mellow surface, until they are appropriated by the plants, and the greatest possible growth will be produced.
The general practice of attempting to cultivate a greater amount of land than can well be done, leaves little or no time to employ methods of improvement. and the result is low yields of all farm crops and a depletion of soils Shallow plowing and poor cultivation of crops go hand in hand with tho attempt to put more acres into cultivation than can be properly attended.
It has been demonstrated that the soil is capable of producing several times as much as the average yields 255 bushels of corn have been grown on one acre 1,000 bushels of potatoes on one acre 135 bushels of oats, and 80 bushels of wheat on single acre lots while the average of these crops from 1870 to 1890 has been as follows: Wheat, 12 bushels per acre oats, 2(i bushels corn, 25 bushels potatoes, 82 bushels.
The large yields referred to were obtained by extra eare in cultivation, stimulated by the offer of large prizes. Would it not be better to adopt methods of cultivation that would bring the best results possible, rather than to try to cultivate the largest acreage'.'
If one-half the land in cultivation is capable of producing as much as is now obtained from the whole amount now under cultivation, would it not be wise to adopt such methods as would bring out the full capacity of the soil?
It is impossible to produce the best crops from inferior seed. The first work is to improve the seed of all farm txops, and then follows improved methods in all departments of farm work. Every farmer, large or small, can, with very iittle labor, make great improvements on &>ed for all crops. The true policy is to make the most from a given amount of land, but this cannot be carried out without an effort to improve the seed.
A Few ou Kvery Farm.
It must be largely due to the warnings sounded by the agricultural press that there lias not been in the last two years another unprofitable craae in the sheep business. Such excitements had become periodical and almost
«)ll I h"!M -i
as
easily foretold as eclipses of the sun, and prices of mutton and wool seemed to have but little effect on them. When the farmers of any large section became discouraged with dairying or beef raising they would listen to the reports of big profits from sheep and forthwith they would sell other stock for what they could get and buy sheep at the price fixed by scarcity. Then when nearly every man was stockei with sheep and had his building ar ranged for them, the few who kept their cows would be getting goo prices for butter and veal and som* who were not prospering with shei would want to change and offer then stock for sale and then every man whi has sheep seems to be afraid he
cannot
.ire wnet nor there is any otner reason •or selling or uoL and another ehangfr is made with an unfavorable discrepancy in prices. A rush after sheep was in season a year ago, and it is very fortunate that advice or experience or both prevailed to so shape tho action ol farmers that people who have bought sheep knew what they wanted of them and there has been no 6uch wild rush as was looked for. Good sheep well cared for will pay their way on almost any farm that is E0bt near enough to a city to get the benefit of a city market, and men should uot go with a rush expecting that all can do as well as a few have at any business.
It is well enough for men who have special faculties to follow special farming, but ou any common farm a few sheep can be made to profitably occupy a place that will always be vacant without them. Fresh mutton for the family when the weather is too warm to kill beef or pork, and wool and lambs to sell are not small considerations.—Manchester Union.
Artichoke Culture.
5A writer for an exchange wonders how many of our readers have tried feeding artichokes, especially to hogs, as an autumn, winter and spring food? He has raised and fed them several years, and says he would not return to the old method of feeding corn alone. Since he adopted this system he has never had hog cholera on his farm nor so frequently had empty corn cribs. He says: Artichokes can be plan -d either in spring or autujin. They are very hardy and will not be injured by any amount of freezing. Autumn is rather the best time to plant, as they will get the benefit of an early spring growth, commencing to grow the last of March when the weather is favorable. They are planted the same way and require about the same culture as the potato the first year. During the second year th^p need no cultivation as there are always enough tubers left in the ground to produce the next crop. If there are thin places, they can be replanted. In autumn after the first planting I turn my hogs in and let them help themselves, when the frost had killed the stalks. Here they will fatten with only a little corn. Here I winter my bro.id sows and autumn pigs also with a little corn. In spring I close up the fence and let the artichokes grow again. I keep two lots, one for autumn and winter use, and one for spring. They are also good for feeding cows, being rich and succulent and increasing the flow of milk. Spring calves winter nicely on them, and colts eat them equally as well as corn. I cultivate the White Jerusalem variety. In good soil they will sometimes yield one thousand bushels per acre. They are very prolific and fill the ground from row to row. I dig and pit a large quantity for my stock during winter, and when the ground is frozen feed them to my hogs. I think if our farmers would try this plan Jf feeding, they would never go back to tlii^old way of feeding corn alone.
Stock Notes.
A thoroughbred bull is much better than one of uncertain parentage. In making up the rations, even for cattle, it is better to give a good variety.
It does not pay to half starve cattle if they are made profitable they must be fed well.
One advantage with improved stock is the increased power of digestion and assimilation.
If the cattle have their hair rubbed off showing bare patches of skin rub on a little sulphur and lard.
If there is any money to be made now in beef production it must be made through the best cattle.
With an old cow in fattening it is an item to fatten quickly and to use a good proportion of succulent food.
The grades of cattle take the name of the sire if the bull is a short-horn with a scrub cow it is a grade shorthorn.
Vigor and hardiness are often confounded and hardiness is often made an excuse for abusing stock by neglect.
