CORN IS KiNG.
Success'ul Farmer Tells How He
Ra.ses Hundred Buahels Per Acre.
I have raised more than 100 bushels
of corn per acre three tlmes during
the laat four years. and expect to have
more thi\n 100 bushels per acre this
year. i did lt ln this way, explatns
I. kT, AiBJrews. In Farm Joirrnal.
I take my hay crop off and then let
the aecond crop grow unpastured until

nure the rye and let It | tli al
IsaS fitst or May. when tl .
ls coming into head. I plow rye and
manure down. put on 25 bushels of
lime per acre. and sow It to corn. put
tlng 125 iHjunds uf rock fertlllzer to
the hllla per acre. I mark out the
corn rows three feet eight 1*>: hes each
way. plant four gralas to the hill. and
later pull out the smaller plants to two
tO the hill. I caltlrat* th.- eOTB both
eaya until you can aee sBdther horse
nor ut+in over ths top of th* corn.
the corn is ready to cut 1 haul
H off; and BBSd ths fleld to whe.it and
grasa. I nev.-r leave the grass crop
than one year. so I aead only
three flelda for my rotattOa.
I seiert the thick- *t gralned
corn that 1 can flnd for ssed?eara
that will shell about one quart of
ahelled corn per .ar. rltlca
say that thick aoha are a waste: but
gralns oaa Inch ln leusth around a
thick coh will ahell more than twice
the quantity that short gralns around
a thin cob will shell; and I ralse corn

SOME FARMS TOO LARGE.

acres. and he was vtorried a
great deal lesa.
There are many farms that are too
large. They are too costly to keep
up. and thelr ownera cannot manage
to advantage. The larger the farm
the more sklllful must the manage
n.ent be. for the . - :ll be the
proportlon of work that - done
BJ othera than by the owner. This
is the polnt at which the big farm
is pu? to a dlsadvantage. A hlred
worker can never do the work that
vner can, for he lacks Intereat.
There are a great many large farms,

be more valuable to the communlty
lf they were broken up into several
farms and were aold to different farm
