CORN AND ITS CULTIVATION.
A Fayette county (Iowa) corres-
pondt?nt writes lo tho Prairie Far-
mer: To grow a good crop oi
sound corn, one year with another,
the first point, and a very impor.
tapt one, is good seed, that which
will not only germinate, but pro-
duce a strong, vigorous plant. It
is a well established tact that seed
of northern origin is richer in oil
than the larger,ami later varieties,
and will produce a more vigorous
plant. Early varieties of north-
ern growth are alsoViore prolific
in ears. During tbo season of
1881-2-3 the writer visited many
hundreds of corn-fields throughout
Northern and Southwestern Iowa.
These were the seasons in which
the Nebraska seed was introduced,
and the farmers of Iowa have good
reasons to remember it. Hun-
dreds of acres of corn were seen
with magnificent crops of stalks,
but very little corn> and that of a
very poor quality. Hundreds of
largo, fine stalks, pro4u«ed nothj
ing, thus exhausting the land with-
outyielding any grain. No care-
ful, intelligent farmer should de-
pend on buying soed corn every
year. After securing' a variety
adapted to his latitude, he should
make an extra effort to suvea sup-
ply lor the next crop. Good, well
drained land should bo selected,
and no more ehould be planted
than can be properly cultivated.
It is utterly impossible to grow a
good crop of corn 'ind it crop
of rag-weeds on the same land.
The ground should be well *;lowod
and thoroughly harrowrd liolore
planting. Fall plowing is hest;
the earlier tho better. In regard
to the time of planting, the intelli-
gent fanner will be govorood by
the condition of lite soil, and tho
aspect ot tho weather. Too early
planting, while the ground is cold
and wet, is a great error, and
should be avoided. Thorough cul-
tivation in the early stages ot
growth is the next essential, and
from the time the seed germinates
until the corn attains a growth of
two feet high, cultivation should
be frequent. After the plant at-
tains a height of from four to five
feet, decj) cultivation will endan-
ger the crop to making it late.
Bring'the crop to matuiity at tho
earliest possible day ; this is espe-
cially important in high latitudes
at all times, and in all latitudes in
uncertain and unfavorable seasons.
Flat or surface cultivation may be
continued until the crop attains its
full size.
Many farmers throughout the
West make a practice of heaping
the soil up to the corn, with a
view of covering up tho weeds.
This is all wrong, as the roots of
tho corn are buriod too doeply. It
is a well-known fact that it 19 nat-
ural characteristic ol tho corn plant
to throw its roots out near the sur-
face, thus getting tho benefit of tho
sun's heat. It iB not a fact that
where the seasons are the longest
the beet corn is grown. On the
contrary tho farther north corn
can bo fully matured, the better is
the quality. As before stated,
northern grown corn is richer in
oil and starch than southern-grown,
therefore there is more nutrition
in it. Select varieties which pro-
duce a larger ear in proportion to
tho stalk ; corn that has a short
stocky stalk wuh tho ear well
down. One ot tho ver}' best meth-
ods to keep up tbe standard of corn
and improve it, is to select the ear-
liest oars that ripen—fine speci-
mens that aro borne on well-de-
veloped stalks. A still better way
is for every farmer to select a
small piece of land that is-isolated
from other fields of corn, plant it
with the finest seed, give it oxtra
cs.ro and thorough cultivation,
keepers suckers all off, and when
tho tassel first mak«s its appear-
ance, go in with a knife and cut
the tassel from all interior stalks.
The sood for the next year's corn
will then be produced upon large,
well developed sUlks. If this is
followed up for a fow years, one
will be surprised at the improve-
ment made. Indeed, after once
trying this mothod a farmer will
nover abandon it. In conclusion,
use tho best seed obtainable on
good, well-drained land ; plant at
the proper time, and be sure and
plant no moro than can be woll
cultivated.

EFFECT OF MANURE ON SOILS.
Farm, Field ana Stockman,
Effect of manure on soils is vari-
ous. Long manure on sandy soils
tends to make the land still more
dry, and hence should only be ap-
plied to this kind of soil in a thor-
oughly rotted condition, or bettor
as compost. What sandy soils lack,
as a rule, ig humus, and compost
or thoroughly rotted manure is in
just the condition to kindly per-
form this office.
Many persons, perhaps a majori-
ty suppose that manures lcach
down through sandy soils and are
lost. If the soil is nearly a clear
sand, this effect will take place if
some crop is not growing thereon.
But crops on sandy soilifyskt the
presence of manure, eat out in nure
very fast, and hence this appi§ent
disappearance of manure is ac-
counted for. It goes quickly into
the crop if in a soluble state.
Loams and clays, on tbo contra-
ry, take up and hold manure in-
definitely if not accepted by crops.
If occupied by crops, it is given
up, but all the constituents of plant
growth being present, the eating
out of manure is not so quickly
seen.
The reason why manure is more
quickly eaten out of ^andy soils is
that they are more porous than
clay soils and hence more amena-
ble to the action of the oxygen t)f
tho air and this action of oxygen
upon any material* liable to decay
is what renders such material to a
state by which it may be taken up
flwl
WW
Ife?
by plants.
He
.ence, it the soil is claj'ey, long,
undigested manure will be indicat-
ed. It tends to render such soils
more light and porous. On sandy
soils every means possible should
be used to render tho soil as com-
pact as possible while the natura-
lip firm clay soils requro the great-
est possible disintegration to
if jndor them most^productive. Yet
there should always bo a duo rela-
tion to compactness in any soil to
reach the best results.
An Enduring Reputation.
No better evidence of the merit of any
original article exists than an enduring repu-
tation founded against all the attempts ot
the envious and piratical imitators, wh<-
have endeavored to palm off their worthless
substitutes, and which are offered for sale
through the modittm of unprincipled
dealers. It has been tho worthy fortune of
Glenn's Sulphur Soap to survive all such en
crouchments, and its pros'iee and rights
have been sustained by legal decision This
articlo possesses extraordinary Ti tties as a
skin remedy and bcautifier, and its exeellencv
has been proved and extolled by the testi-
mony of a large number of persons in every
section of this country; its sale even extend-
ing largely into foreign lands. ThiB skilful
combination of soap with sulphur, and
which is well known to the public by long
and persistent advertising as "Glenn's Sul-
phur Soap," is the exclusive property of
Charles N. Crittenton, of New York; andtc
guard against immitations purchasers should
see that each package bears his name.
A tract of land on the s'tore of
Cayuga lake, near Oanoga, N. Y..
has been leased to Rochester par-
ties for tho raising of frogs for tbe

About three years ago the agent for
Acker's English Remedy first called at his
town, and siucc then the number of testimo-
nials that have been sent in to Tarlton A
Nash concsrntng the merits t>f the
Remedy, and the many cures effect-
ed surprises them. They srish it
to be thoroughly understoo ■ that for all
colds, hoarseness, asthma, crcup whooping
cough, all phthisical troub'es, they nave

antee it.

gloom which overspread his face
became as black Aft- a Cincinnati
snowflake. Beatrice (tor. tlMt
is the name of bur heroine) bad
kept the gentle reader waiting ibr
a*few minutes while she allowed
the sensuous kiss ot tbe powder
puff to rest upon her cheek, she
came tripping into<be room. Tbea
she went out and got a tack ba«*
mcr and nailed down the piecfl Of
oilcloth that tripped her.
"t';ipa," said she, as she seated
herself on his knee, "Christmas is
very near, is it not?" *
Just then the clock chimed out
in silvery tones.
"I am so unhappy! she went OB
without hocdingtho interruption.
"WhjT, my Qhild?"
But she was silent. Heriatber
.iced that she was silent, and
marveled greatly.
"Is there anything that I can do
to make my child less unhappy?
Christmas is coming"-^-
The little clock chimed out
again, and the old man put it into
the coal Scuttle.
"Christmas is coming," he con-
tinued, "and I will promise you
anything I have it in my power to
give if it will only chase tbe sor-
row from your brow."
"Then, papa, I will tell you all.
I love Reginald, your cashier. Tou
have refused your consent for oar
union."
"My child, my child," he said in
broken accents, (he was of German
descent,) "you know not wbat you
ask. Do you think you can stand
a Canada climate?" Then a
thought seemed to strike him.
"Perhaps," ho muttered, "it would
be best. I might as well keep it
all m the iamilj'."
* ^ *
Among the chimes which rang
out on the clear, crisp Christmas
air Beatrice and Reginald heard
only the the bells which told of
their wedding. < >
And when Keginald went north
for bis health tho entire family ac*
compaDiod him.
Carlton & Nash tell us of a remarkable
cure effected by Acker's Blood Klixir. A
gentleman was literally covered with some,
brought on by neglecting his system; ulcers
or boils came out all over him, but a
thorough course ct Acker'* Blood Elixir
cured him. They say that tbey will warrant
this as being tbe. best blood medi-
cine that can be bought. It is always
certain to cure Syphilis in its woTSt form.
It is positively guaranteed.
Carelessness must give way to
business management on the farm.
The farmer should study tho mark*
ets and be as ready to take advan-
tage ot opportunities as the mer-
chant.
In order that our town may have the beat
goods possible, the popular druggists,Cart-
ton & Nash have agreed to M Acker's
English Prescriptions, among which is
A titer's Dyspepsia Tablets. They act upon
the system wrien suffering with Dyspepsia,
had breath, sour stomach, flatulency* heart,
burn, Ac., &c., with wonderful certainty,
hence they guarantee them to care always,
or will refund the money.
