practice ot r-ouiug com as :i reserve i
crop for feeding purposes when needed
is loo much neglected by the majority !
of the farmers. Few crops yield a.
greater return for the labor of produc
ing it, and in no other way can so much
wholesoincand nutritious feed for stock
be producwl as by sowing corn. "Vc
have already alluded to Hungarian
grass as a reserve crop, but for dairy
men, a crop of sowed corn is just the
thing fr midsummer and winter uc.
The corn crop may bo sown from
the 1st of June to the middle of July.
The yield varies from five to ten Ions
per acre. The quantity of seed re
quired is three and one half biuhels of
the large Dent corn to the acre. This
crop, like the Hungarian, requires that
the lands should be well enriched. It
is a good plan, ordinarily, to plow the
land twice once very early then again
early in June. Harrow well and mark
out in furrows with a shovel-plow, from
two and a half to three feet apart.
Cover with the liarrow, running first
lengthwise and then crosswise. But
little after-culture is" needed. It will
be up in eight or ten' days after plant
iiig, when the shovel-plow can be run
between the rows, and, if done again
in about two weeks thereafter, the com
completely cover the ground, and
no after-cultivation will bo necessary.
As soon as the cars (nubbins) legiii
to get hard, cut and bind the crop in
small bundles, stock them up together
and lie the tops well. This crop may
be cut with a common scythe. A
cradle having a short scythe like the
one for brush, with two strong fingers
of corresponding length, makes a good
implement to cut it with. If well put
up, it can remain in the field until
wanted. In this climate it is better
to liavc plenty of shed room in which to
store it, so tliat, whatever the weather
may lie, there will alwaj's be a liberal
supply on hand for immediate use. All
lauds of stock cat the crop with avidi
ty, and cat it up clean, and thrive up
on it better than upon any other dry
fecd, and it is much cheaper. Far
mers would do well to sow at least two
acres annually. If sown to feed to
cows di'ring a drouth in mid-summer,
of course a much larger area should be
town convenient or adjacent to the pas
ture or feeding lot It is one of the
crops that will pay. Ilund World.
Ilrooiit Corn.
- Those who have not planted all their
ground will do well to consider the
advantages of growing broom corn.
It sells very high now on account of
scarcity, bringing $200 a ton in Chi
cago. The cultivation is simple; the
eoil best suited to it is such as corn ro
quires, and a river bottom is consid
ered the best of all. It should be
planted three feet apart, in rows three
or four feet distant. If the seed is
good, ten or twelve to the hill are
enough, if not good put in enough to
I insure five or six healthy plants, which
are all that should be left to grow in a
lull. Seed should be buried from one
lo one aud a half inches. The ground
should be well pulverized before plant
ing. Cultivate well from the time
the plants are visible. Let no grass
grow. Break the tops before fully
ripe by bcudinj: the lops of the rows
toward each other, and breaking them
about thirteen inches below the brush.
Allow them to hang until thoroughly
ripe, then cut and carry under cover,
where they must be spread until dry.
The stalks remaining may be cut close
or pulled up aud buried in the furrows
to enrich the soil. The brush is cleaned
generally by hand, by drawing it
through a hatchel composed of upright
knives set near enough togtehcr. The
average yield of brmh i about 500
pounds to the acre, and of seed from
twenty-five to fifty bushels to the acre.

Tiiritips 'S'lieir Value as a Crop.
The American fanners have never
vet attached the value to the turnip
crop which has been given by their
European brother?.
The cheapness of corn (maize) has
prevented our people from properly
appreciating other crops for cheap food
to stock. But corn U fat lo-iiig its
quality of cheapness by the decreased
yield per acre as our lands become old

An cxcccJil)g1v practical writer, Col.
c v pcabo(K: a treaty upon gar.
den vegetables, tnis discourses upon
turnips:
It is said that the turnip crop is of
more value to England than the cotton
crop is to the United States. It is not
as a field crop that I propose to treat
upon it to-day. As a garden crop it is
invaluable to the South, many of the
varieties being almost hardy here, be
ing able to stand our winter with iui'
punitv. The newer, froher, and rich
cr the land, the greater the crop of tur
nip-'. For spring turnips, the garden
patch should be manured heavily in
the winter, and the manure turned
well and deeply .under; about the first
of February spade it or plow it again,
and sow the early red top and early
Dutch in drills twelve inches apart,
scatter as thin in the drill as possible,
and when four inches high thin out to
eight inches in the drill. Phosphate
manures are the special manures for
turnip; hence, bone-dust will be found
a great invigorator; scatter the bone
dut in the drill and cover it before
sowing Hie seed, ror late turnips
sow in August and September; for
standard crop, sow rutabagas. This,
with the other large growing kinds,
should bo sown in drills eighteen
inches apart, and thinned out twelve

Northern or English raised seed.
There are many varieties of early seed
that do as well in this climate sown in
the fall as in the spring. I have had
the early Dutch turnips sown the first
of Auirust mature in six weeks from
planting. If the turnip fly is trouble
some, strew gypsum or good ashes over
the plants when the dew is on them in
the morning; gypsum will not only
drive away the fly, but will be found a
rcat invigorator of the plant.
I'lmit a Jr:tpe Viae First
Not one farmer in twenty will buy
grapes or other fruit, except apples for
himself and family; but grapes are so
easily and cheaply grown that no fam
ily with a square rod of ground should
be without a few vines. Grapes cm
be got in bearing earlier than any oth
cr fruit, excepting strawberries; and
with well rooted layers I have had one
bunch of grapes the first year after set
ting. Yet many a man spends $30 to
SI 00 in setting an apple orchard, which
will not bear till six or eight years' af
ter, who would begrudge $3 for a doz
en of vines of the choicest grapes, which
he might eat within two years and
have an abundance before five years
had paved. I do not object lo exten
sive and tarly planting of apple or
chards: "This ought ye lojhavo done,
aud not to have left, the other undone."
It seems to me that the first duty of
settleron new land is to plaut imme
diately half a dozen grape vines, and
after that as many as he can afford.
Fresh fruit is a necessity to the health
of a family, aud nothing is more quick
ly, easily or cheaply grown than
grapes.
The Jointer Plow.
The object of using a jointer, or small
plow, in place of a coulter, is lo divide
the furrow-slice, and tliu more effect
ively pulverize the soil. The jointer
carries its small furrow slice of surface
soil over to the bottom of the furrow
more effectively than can olherwi-e he
done, and the back or large plov
brings its furrow slice over and covers
it completely, leaving the surface level
and light. It will completely invert
weeds, stubble, and manure, or heavy
clover so that it will not draw up. No
corn stubble can be well plowed, as i
should be, without it. tooil, at one
plowing, is made as mellow as a Sum
mer fallow, and can be harrowed cross
wise of the furrow without dragginj
up a particle of tuft. An important
advantage the jointer has over the
coulter is the cheapness of repair. The
coulter very soon becomes dull and
blunt, requiring upsetting and rcfacinz
with steel, costing from four to six
shillings, and time in going to tl
blacksmith shop, 'wrth, in the bu
sca-on, as much more. When tli
jointer point becomes worn out, the
farmer has only to loo-en one bolt and
! replace it with a new one, making his
i. -1 . .
j0,ntcr as good as new, and at a co--t o
. . . . , . ...
only thirty cents, and five minute:
time, at the longest. The jointer does
! not increase the draft any more than
coulter, and will work wherever a coul
tcr can be used, and perform its work
much more thoroughly and satisfacto
rily. It does the best work when it
only takes a shallow furrow-slice, an
inch and a half or two inches deep. In
od the standard should bo placed al
most perpendicular.
Try X:i51s.
We have taken the trouble, in ex
tensive trip' over the country, to make
sonic inquiries about certain fruit trees
which attract attention on account of
their thrift and fruit-bearing qualities.
Thev were fresh and vigorous, while
all around the other trees were decay
ing or dead. In nearly every case it
turned out that ten-penny nails had
been driven into the bod' as near the
ground as possible. Trees selected at
random and treated in this wav alwavs
turned out healthy, vigorous and ex
cellent fruit-bearers, producing the
most luscious fruit. The reason whv
the worm will not attack the tree is
because the oxvdation or rusting of the
iron by the sap evolves ammonia,
which, as the sap arises, will of course
impregnate every part of foliage, and
prove too drastic a dose for the delicate
palates of intruding insects. The salt
of iron afforded by the nails is extreme
ly offensive to the worm?, while ic is
not onJ v. harmless but beneficial to the
foliage and fruit of the tree. Rural

Pleasant Grange, ot Boone county,
recommends Ihc adoption of a "Query
Box," by every Grange in Kentucky.
The Query Box is hung up in each
Grange room as a receptacle of impor
tant or interesting questions written on
lips of paper by the different mem
bers, and is opened by the Secretary
at each meeting under the head of
uggastions for the good of the order,"
and by him read to the Gran 20 for tho
purpose of giving each brother and sis
ter an opportunity of expressing his
or her views on faid- questions, and
thereby making any suggestions in the
line of progress and improvement that
mnv occur to them.

larity, has none oftrje. temporary or ttmt'y in
terests characteristic of ordinary periodicals.
It is an elegant miscellany of puro, light, anil
graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
tho rarest collection of artistic skHI, in black
and white. Although each succeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure- to its friends, the real
value and beauty of Tho AUine will be most
appreciated after it is booed up at tbe close of
tbe year. While other publications may claim
superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of
a similar class, Tho Aldine is a unique and
original conception alono and unapproached
absolutely without competition in, prieo or .
character. The possessor of a complete vol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fine pa
per and engravings in any other shapo or num
ber of volumes, fur ten lime t't tmt; and tien,
there i iht chnmo, tclaV.'
The national featnre of Tea Aldine mast ha
taken in no narrow tense. True art is cosmo
politan. While Tbe Aldine is a strictly Ameri
ran institution, it does not eonSne itself to tha
peproduction of native art. It3 mission is to
cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, ono
that will discriminate on grounds of intrinsia
merit. Thus, while pleadingbefore thepatrona
of The Aldine, as a leading cbtraeteristie. tho
productions of the most noted Acr-iean artists,
attention will always be given to specimens
from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the
pleasure and instruction obtainable frost homo
or ferelgn aoarees.
The artistic illustration of American scenery,
original with The Aldine is an important fea
ture, and its magnificent plate are of a sizo.
more appropriate to tho satisfactory treatment
of tietail. than can bo afforded by any inferior
page. Tbe judicious interspersienoflandscapo,
Biariae, figure and animal subjects, sustain an
unabated interest, impossible where the scepo
of the work confines the artUt too elosely to a
single stylo 0. subject. Abe literature of Tho
Aldine is a light and graceful accompaniment,
worthy of tbe artistic features, with only such,
technical disquisitions as do not interfere with
tha popular interest of the work.
