ADVANTAGES OF SUBSOILING. A* Stated by a Very Enthusiastic Advocate

of the Subsoil Plow.

It will scarcely do to aHsnme that the subsoil plow will immediately bring in the agricultural millennium and cure all the evils of the rest of humanity, hut it is doubtless a valuable implement, and its extensive nse will result in the retention in the soil of much of the water which runs away during the heavy storms. Following is what an enthusiast has to say on the subject in a letter to Kansas Farmer: Deep subsoiling is one of those simple methods the good effects of which can hardly be exaggerated. The correct way to use a subsoil plow is singly, without any furrow. Then yon can hitch in the center of the beam, and not off to one side, as you have to when following a furrow. It gives you a straight pull— no side draft. Then you can go forward and back across your field, and your horses will be on unplowed land half the time, whereas, if you use a stirring plow, the furrow horse travels continually in the mellow soil which the snbsoiler makes, rendering it very tiresome for him. Another great saving would be the entire outfit of man, team and plow. The stirring plow would not be necessary, because the subsoiler running in the hard undersoil would lift, break and bulge up the hard soil so the *op soil would be moved and stirred suffi-

rfenfi^V! be nyTilow, t&id if harrowed afterward would be smooth and level. Where is the farmer that has not had much tribulation with the mold board plow? If it has not the right set, it tries to turn over in the ground, or won’t go in, or else wants to go in out of sight, or takes too much land, or not enough, 1 and often the dirt won’t slip from it, and I tell you no one but a real good man should have anything to do with such a plow, for he would be almost sure to say bad words. And then a little rust on it is a grievous thing, for it will not scour until it is bright and smooth. The subsoil plow has none of these disadvantages. It always scours, and with a wrench any one can set it in few minutes so it will run to suit him. Bej sides saving the labor and expense ot running a common plow, yon keep your ! best soil on top, where it should he, which is very desirable, and in not turning the soil over, but merely stirring it, you open thousands of little graves for the weed seed to fall into, which, with the action of the rains, buries them deep and out of sight forever, a very acceptable riddance. You could run the snhsoiler 18 or 20 inches deep the first year, and the second year it would bo an easy matter to go down two feet, and when some good rains have been preserved at that depth it would make you independ- ; ent of what is usually considered a dis- | aster—i. e., a long continued hot dry

Item* In Corn Culture. An Illinois farmer writing in Farm, ( Field and Fireside says: The farmer ! should grow his own seed com for main crop and should occasionally introduce new blood, say every two or three years. Unless located in the northern part of the com belt, don’t get corn that is boomed on account of earliness or be cause it is northern grown. It will gen- j erally possess a good deal of vitality and present a fine appearance at the start, hut when harvest time comes you will bo disappointed to find the ears small ahd yield short The best com to adopt should bo centrally grown, or in abont the same latitude as you wish to plant it Southern grown com is good when ac climated, hut should bo planted two or three years on a small scale and well se- j lected before used as a main crop for central latitudes, and you will possess a bonanza. A long and comparatively slender ear of 14 to Mi straight rows, well dented and filled from butt to tip, is our ideal Able* to Caro For A Kn<leav6rer4. Cleveland, May 28.—This city is now assured of ample accommodations for the annual convention of Christian Endeavor societies, which meets here in July. For a time it was feared sleeping quarters could not be secured for all. Miner* Killed Id an Yixplnslon. Brussels, May 28.—An explosion oc- j curred yesterday in a mine at Anderluss, killing six miners and injuring several others.

IN THE CORNFIELD. Conclusion* Drawn From Result* GalMDtl In Six Consecutive Year*. Shallow cultivation has uniformly given better results than has deep on the dark fertile prairie soil of the Illinois experiment station grounds. Purposed root pruning has in all cases decreased the yield. It has not been proved that comparatively deep culture while the com is small would be injurious. Unusually frequent cultivation has in some eases decreased the yield, and in no case

been profitable.

No one implement has been shown to be clearly superior to all others. It is believed the best results can be secured with tiie smallest expenditure of time and labor by having the ground in good condition at the time of planting, beginning cultivation before grass or weeds have made much growth, and stirring the entire surface of the soil as nearly as practicable to the depth of not more than two or three inches, often enough to keep the rurfaee well pulverized and to prevent the growth of weeds and grass. Each year yields of corn not much below the average have been secured without any cultivation subsequent to planting, except scraping the surface with a sharp hoe to prevent the growth of weeds. On soils of different texture other methods of cultivation

may be better.

Repeated observations show that the percentage of dry matter in the corn plant, both stalk and ear, increases up to the time of maturing. It has not been shown that the digestibility is decreased as maturity increases. In many eases the palatability of both stalk and ear does decrease. Leaving the stalks uncut until they reach full maturity increases probability of loss from storms and often makes it necessary to harvest the crop in less favorable weather. It seems clearly proved, however, that there often h is been a considerable loss in the total food value of the crop by cutting it at too early a stage, whether designed for ensilage or for dry fodder The percentage of water in the young com plant is surprisingly largo, whilo the quantity of dry matter and the food value is very much less than that found as the plant approaches full maturity. In no year out of the six was any material difference shown in the yield of corn, whether planted in hills or drills, where an equal number of kernels was planted and the ground kept equally free from weeds. The tests at the station indicate the advisability of the selection of medium rather than either early or lato maturing varieties—those with ears above the average, bnt not remarkably large in size, and those which combine as many good qualities as possible. As a rule, it is not advisable to select for the main crop a variety which has been produced far north or south of the latitude in which it is to be planted. <■1 nd.stone Able to Sit Up.

London, May 28.—A farewell service was held at St. James hall yesterday in connection with the departure from England of Miss Frances Willard, the well known American temperance advocate. Lady {somerset, who is prominent in the temperance movement in Great Britain, and of whom Miss Willard has Iteen a guest, made a brief address. Senator Gorman’s Illness. Baltimore, May 28.—Senator Gorman, who has been quite sick at his home, is much better and his physicians say that a few days rest will now restore him. He got out of lied yesterda y and went out for a short walk. His illness was the result of overwork and nervous prostration. Work and Cash to Pay For It. Minneapolis, May 27.—The ways and means committee of the council has decided to issue *100,000 in bonds, which business men have agreed to take at par. The money is to be used to put the unemployed at work on public improvements. Saved Her Pearls For Other Swine. A short time ago a colored woman appeared at Shelbyville, Ky., and an nounced her intention of giving a lecture and reading at one of the colored churches. A large audience assembled to hear her, but she failed to put in an appearance, hut instead sent a note saying that her principal reason for her nonappearanre was found in the Bible and was that she did not believe it right (o “cast pearls before swine. ”— Philadelphia Press.
