Broom Corn.
J. lv. Briston, of Atlanta, Missouri,
makes the following twelve enquiries
of) The Journal of Agriculture, -and
ilieaitor answers. As similar en
quiries are made of us, and this Is di
rectly to the point, we copy the entire
article.
Mr. Crowder, to whom we refer in
.another column, informed us in con
versation the other day, when on a
visit to this place, that he had found
the broom corn u most profitable crop
in Illinois, and believes this soil of
6ursTnost admirably adapted to its
growth. , -
jASfXj&ni aiming to raise a crop
room corn, I would like for you,
.-tT
of
or
some of your readers, to answer a fe'w
queries on that subject.
1st What kind Is most profitable
for marketing?
2d What kind will pay beat for
home manufacturing ?
3d AVhat kind of. soil "is best for
bro'dni corn:? ' - v
. 4th-rH6w,should it be. prepared ?
-' 5th-r-Wiien is. tlie best time for plant
ing? Gth How thick should It be plant
ed? 7th Should it be planted in hills or
drilled? -
.Stli Wh.en.is the .time for cutting,
fomake the Vest brooms ?
9th Will it pay to let the corn get
ripe for the profit on the seed ?
f JL01h-Should It be broken down to
'keep the straw-front bending ?
" 11th How Is the best way so cure
it?
12th How should it be sorted for
Marketing?
Please answer immediately through
thn Journal of Agriculture, or other
wise, as you may think best.
. 13 That called the Missouri Ev
ergreen, (though not a distinct varie
ty,) Is probably the best for this State.
Seed from two to three degrees South
will not mature quite as quick as that
raised in the latitude in which you
wish to plant, henee, broom corn in
Northern Illinois and Michigan from
seed raised in Missouri, will be green
when, frost cqmes; It was probably
fro'iri this fact that the name origina
ted: T5ut if seed be saved from this
and planted in the same 1 attitude, it
will, in a year. -or two, be undlstin
guishable from the common Mohawk.
The quality of brush, for market, or
forhdmo- manufacture depends more
upon the cultivation, aud manner of
handling than'upon any supposed va
riety bf seed. .
f 3 1 As a rule we may say that the
best soil for Indian corn is also .best
for.broom corn. It should be loose,,
rich and most thoroughly pulverized
before receiving tne seed.
5 The time for planting depends
upon the season. We would say, as
soon as the danger of frost is passed,
and the ground sufficiently dry to
Avork.
67 If planted in hills, they should
be three feet apart, or a little less, each
way, and five or six stalks left in each,
hut a better crop will probably be ob
tained by planting in drills, three aud
alhalf feet apart, leaving the stalks
five or six inches apart in the row. If
theseed is properly cleaned the stems
alhremoved it may be planted by a
seed planter, and should be covered
about an inch deep.
"8-We think the liest -brooms are
made of brush on which the seed had
not entirely ripened out.
9 If the corn is tabled (broken
down) the brush will retain its shape
till the seed Is ripe enough to grow,
though it may not preserve the bright
green appearance which it would have
if cut when -the seed. is intue.uiilk.
We have uot hadfeiperience in the
differentSnethods of covering broom
corit, or of sorting it for different mar
kets, and we would thank any of our
readers to reply to the querries on
mese pomis. J( ;
IS IT A
PROFITABLE CROP?
4
Wheat, wool and some other leading
farm products, command so small
prices at present, that farmers are
quite generally enquiring for somo
cron that will be more remunerative.
and there i4an8ethatsome one crop

generally known, and a great many
farmers think of raising large crops
of it this year.
So much inquiry jn .regard to this
crop, reminds us of the'liop fever two
years ago.
Oiir Impression is that there will be

cr raised nny previous year, and thatj
the price will be unfavorably affected ,
by the largeness of the crop, for no ;
class of persons will laue up me uum- ;
ness of sweeping, just lor me j)urpi
of making a market for broom corn
and keeping up the price.
Those who have gained an experience
in. raising tho article can no doubt at
ford to sell itat lower prices than tliey
have hitherto received, and still make
a fair profit. But those who never
cultirtitcd this .crop will be more lia
ble to make some missteps in the pro
cess, and find themselves Joosers by
the operation.
HOW MUCH TO PLANT.
We would therefore say to beginners
in the cultivation of broom corn,
Touch it. lightly the first year. It is.
seldom good policy for the farmer to
change suddenly the leading crop of
his farm, unless the new crop be one
with which he has had experience;
nor, as a rule, is it wise to devote all
the forces of the farm to the cultiva
tion of a single crop, but a variety of
crops should be produced, some of
which will be likelv to sell well every
year. With this principle in mind,
we would advise those who have nev
er planted broom corn, to plant com
paratively a small patch if they hao
the proper soil, and expect only their
experience as the proceeds of the crop
then, if they get any money, they
will be agreeably disappointed. We
knew a man in Leo Co., 111., who
raised a larce crop of broom corn for
l the size of his farm it wa3 his first
and last crop he coucluded It would
not pay. But others in that region,
who lind learned to manage it, contin
ued to raise it profitably. Eds.
A Model Tanner's Wife.
Mrs. Alfred ISartnn, of Dexter, Mainr, ha,
been married twentvr-flve years; ha reared
a family of nine children, mostly boys, nml
done her own work with the help or mem
bers of the familv. She has made tons
of butter, and 35U tons of cheese. Her hus
band has most successfully managed a larue
farm as what man could not be suceehsful
with the help of such a "guld wife."-Er.
Complimentary to tho "guid wife,"
but far from being so to the husband.
Any man who would require, or j;cr
mit, his wife to perform that much
man's labor, in addition to rearing
him "a family of nine children, most
ly boys," don't deserve a wife. Ed.
What a Boy Done. W. D. Sxow
of McLean Co., 111., a lad of thirteen
years, writes as follows to the Prairie
Farmer :
I sometimes read the Prairie Farmer, and
occasionally read about large pics and calves,
so I thought I would give you the weight of
a calf I have, that I have fed on skimmed
milk since he was one week old. He was 6
months old the 28th inst., and weighed five
hundred and fifty pounds. Ills average gain
has been two aud ont-lialf pounds per day.
If any of the boys have a calf raised In the
same manner, that wIHJbeiUmine in weight
or have one as tracfable I should like to know
It, mine obeying instantly at the word "whoa
Haw" and "Gee."
The Government Garden.
One of theEditorsof the New York
Tribune, visiting Washington, thus
writes :
4JAmong the attractions of the Cap
ital, is the Government Garden, under
the charge of Wm. Saunders ; and his
management of pear trees is worthy
of note. It is simply to plant on good
ground, give fair and clean culture,
and let them grow. Pinching, prun
ing, and all those scientific and com
plicated directions derived from the
French, and adopted by our orchard
ists. he considers worse than useless,
for he attributes blight and other dis
eases to this treatment. Whether
right or wrong, he has an argument
in his favor, which ought to weigh
the trees grow as "unconfined as .No
ra's tresses," blight is unknown, and
all varieties are loaded with fruit. It
mav be said that his plan suits such a
lattitude as Washington ; if so, let it
be adopted there, and let pears be
grown to supply the country. The
fine varieties of grspesarc also grown
here without any disease, by placing
two boards like a roof, along the top
of the trellis.
I was surprised to see the China
teaplant growing vigorously in this
garden. Mr. Saunders said it had
stood without protection several years
and now it would seem that the grow
ing of tea in this country is not to be
considered with refcrrence-to tbe cli
mate of Tennessee, or any other
Southern State; butas to whether the
people desire to grow it. I can see no
difficulty in any familv, at least south
of Philadelphia, and perhaps even
north of it, growing their own tea,
and, if they are real lovers of tea,
they ought to take the little care and
trouble required, for, if they do, they
can have an article only equalled by
such as is obtained in China, itself,
free from adulteration and unaffected
by the long sea voyage.
It is customary for some agricultu
ral writers to disparge of thiH garden,
but I think that they are unwise, and
that they ought to be glad, that among
the appropriations for so man3T objects
horticultural aud like interests obtain
a small share, and I am certain that
the country ought to receive great
benefit therefrom."

Frnit Prospects.
At a meeting of the Fruit Grower's
Association, at Centralia, 111., on the
131 h inst. after the cold snap it was
stated: "A kind Providence seems
on the eve of blessing us the coming
season with a bounteous crop of fruit.
In few years, pehaps, in the mem
ory of our oldest growers, has the
confidence of all kinds of fruit buds,
with the single exception of straw
berries, been so favorable at this sea
son of the year, as at this time."
The Jonesboro (111) Gazette says:
"We are informed by some of our
most reliable fruit growers that the
prospect for a good crop of fruit is very
encouraging. In some orchards early
budded peache3 are injured; in others
they promise good crop. Strawbery
plants, and small fruits have wintered
well, and give evidence of an abun
dant crop. Notwithstanding the dis
mal notes of croakers, which are only
the first indications of Spring, but the
fruit crop of Southern Illinois prom
ises to be larger than that of last
year."
The Baton Bouge Courier says:
"It is now generally considered that
the late frosts will almost totally de
stroy the fruit crop in this section of
the country. Other crops have suf
fered 'considerably. Corn has been
three times cut down to tho ground,
and the market gardens have been
put back several weeks."
The Ohio State Journal says : "The
fruit buds in this section, it is stated,
have uot been injured except in the
case of peaches. These have been
damaged considerably. The pros
pects for grapes is considered only
fair."'
Tho Moniteau, (Mo.) Chronicle say :
"The peach crop of this country is
still promising a good yield. But few
of the buds have been killed."
A correspondent from Macoupin
county, 111., Btates :
"Some varieties of peaches are nearly
all" killed while others are yet safe.
Strawberries, badly thrown out by
tne frost, and acres are dead. All
varieties of Bed Kaspberriee, except

A gentleman from Alton, 111., In

their peach buds are unharmed, and
if such b'c the fact, they mYy reasona
bly expect a fair crop.

Introducing Italian Oneons to Colo
nies of Native Bees.
Take away the queen of the colony
to which the Italian queen is to be
given. To find her most easily, open
the stand in the middle of a fine day,
when many bees are absent from the
hive. Disturb the bees ns little as
possible, and have an assistant to look
on one side of the frame whilo you
examine the other. Look on the
frames near the center of the cluster
first, as the queen is apt to be there.
As soon as you have found and killed
her, qut the Italian quecs, with two
or three of her own bees, into the wire
cage which accompanies her, and lay
it over the frames near the cluster; or
if the weather be cool, the cage may
be laid between two frames. Leave
her there forty-eight hours and then,
without moving the cage or disturb
ing the bees, pull out the stopper and
allow the queen to go into the hive at
her pleasure. I have never lost aqueen
that I introduced in this way.
Another Molhod. Move the hive to
which you wish tp introduce the queen
to a new position somedistanceaway.
Then take from it two or three frames
of comb containing brood and honey,
shake all the bees from them, put
them in an empty hive and place this
hive where the other stoodclose all
the entrances except one hole in the
top, and through this gently put the
new queen on to the frames and shut
her in; then open entrance for one
bee at a time in front, and allow the
bees that are out in the fields to come
in. Being full of honey, and dis
turbed also at the new appearance of
their home, they will not harm the
strange queen".
If it is the right season of the year
for making new colonies, you may,
towards night, add a frame or two
more of brood from some other colon y
and as a majority of the worker bees
from the removed colony will return
to their new location you will have a
good, new, prosperous colony. The
one you have moved will also'do well
and soon be as strong as ever, for it
retains the fertile queen. If you do
not care thus to divide, look over the
removed hive at once and kill its
queen. Leave it an hour or two and
then take all the remaining frames,
shake the bees from them and place
them in the hive where your Italian
queen is, and just at dusk put all the
remaining bees in the old hive in
front of the" now, which they will
gladly enter. In this way you remove
by degrees, all parts o a colony to a
new hive, except its queen which you
replace by the Italian. This is my
favorite way of exchanging queens.
Couiiona. Open the box in which
the queen is sent, in a tight room, that
if the queen chance to fiy, she will go
to the window and be easily caught.
Never handle the queen by the ab
domen, always take hold of her by the
wings or upper part of the body. It
is well, after introducing a queen by
the first method described, to look
over the. combs a few daj's after and
destroy all queen cells thatare started.
I never knew them to start any when
a queen was Introduced in the second

Experience with Onts.
Adam Bankin, of Warren county,
thus writes to the Prairie Farmer:
Of oats I sowed last year the Surprise,
Potato.WhiteSweedish, Black Sweed
ish, Bussian, White Shonen and
Bamsdell's Norway. I sowed them
all from the 8th-to the loth of April.
All varieties were about the same
time in maturing except the Black
Sweedish, which was an entire failure.
The Surprise, Potato and White
Sweedish are all the same variety, and
were down badly; took the second
growth and had to be mowed with a
scythe. The Bussian oats were also
down and were very poor. The White
Shonen and Bamsdell Norway stood
up well until ripe, and made a fine
yield. The straw of the Bamsdell
oats is much better than that of any
of the other varieties, as it retains its
green color until after the grain is
fully ripe. Horses and cattle arc yery
fond of it. Tho grain of the Norway
oats does not waste as bad in handling
as does that of the other varieties.
Winter aud Summer Pruning
Under this head Wm. Tanner, of
Leavenworth, Kansas, in writing to
the Western Pomologist, sa3's: After
ten years experience and close obser
vation as to the effects .of winter and
summer pruning, I have fully come to
the conclusion, taking all things into
consideration, that winter or early
spring pruning is much less injurious
to the tree. The last season I had
occasion to move some buildings and
to make room for them, had to move
some large apple and maple trees
which were cut up and split into
stove wood.
In these I saw convincing proof in
favor of winter pruning; the roots of
those that were cut off in winter were
universally sound, whether healed
over or not, to the centre of the tree,
while those that were cut off in sum
mer, were generally sound on the out
side for about half an inch, but from
thence to the heart rotten. Since
seeing that effect I have given more
thought to the subject and carefully
compared notes, and although the
winter pruned trees presented black,
unsightly and generally slow healing
wounds, the trees are less injured than
those with clean, quick healing
-wounds made in summer pruning. I
have had a great deal of summer
pruning done; one vineyard nearly
ruined by having the ends of the
vines twisted off to stop rapid growth.
It is true that very light summer
pruning or pinching will do but little
harm, but if done in early spring be
fore the sap stnrts, it will do less harm.
In fact I cannot say that I have ever
seen any ill effects from even thorough
prunning, if done while the trees are
not frozen and before the sap starts.
After that until the leaves are fully
grown no pruning should be done on
any kind of fruit tree3.

Plant a Strawberry Bed.
Bv all means plant a strawberry bed
this spring, if you have notgotoneon
the place already. They are the first
and best things that suggest them
selves to every one who loves fruit;
who is preparing a new place that has
no fruit; and no garden, large or
small, however rich in other fruits it
may be, is complete without a good
strawberry bed. Besides being the
most lucious and indispensable of all
small fruits, it is the most certain to
bear, the most productive, seldomest
fails, and bears a full crop the first
seeson after planting, which no other
fruit does.
The first half of April is perhaps
the best time of all the year to set out
strawberry plants, though they may
be planted earlier If the gound is in
good working order; and may con
tinue to be planted till they are in full
bloom, with perfect success. They
may Indeed bo planted all through
the summer and fall but spring is the
best time by all odds, to insure suc-
m s .- tt t i a
ces; with ordinary care and. judg
ment, failure is almost'auimnipssibil
ity in the spring.
The ground should be well prepared
by plowing or spading deeply, and if
it is in good heart it will not hurt to
mix some good rotten manure with
the soil, making it moderately rich.
Prepare it at least equal to the best
garden tilth, and if possible select
ground free of weed seed as the
keeping weeds out of the bed is the
most formidable part about their cul
ture. If a bed is required to supply the
family only we would advise plant
ing close, and keep the bed clean en
tirely with the hoe. A much less
quantity of ground will suffice' a rod
or two in fact which is but a small
job to clean if attended to in time,
while horse culture is slovenly work
among strawberries, and not to be
recommended except for field culture.
Plant in rows two feet apart, and
one foot.apart in the rows, and either
keep the runners cut off entirely, or,
after they have filled up a little space
each side and along the row, cut out
the balance with the hoe, same as
weeds, leaving the plants to stand
moderately thick all over theground,
except a narrow' path between each
row. Each year, immediately after
fruiting, dig "up a space between the
rows, and hurry plants, weeds and all,
and allow the old plants to refill the
ground and by adding fertilizing
material, a bed may thus be kept in
good bearing for many years though
the strawberry is easily renewed and
may be planted afresh every year or
two, at the option or conviction of the
cultivator. Colnutn's Jiural World.
Cashmere Goats. M. C. Tully,
near New Albany, Ind., has engaged
in the breeding of Cashmero goats on
an extensive scale. He has seventy
bucks, for which he paid from $300 to
$600 per head, and by crossing the
Cashmere with our domestic goats, he
has succeeded in raising many fine
animals, all of them producing won
derful fleeces of the finest, silkiest
wool.
Good Fanning Implements are the
basis of success In making the farm
pay. Without these, though the soil nml
climate, are favorable, farming in the nine
teenth century cannot be mndc profitable, as
the basis of all prices Is upon that which can
be produced most successfully, with the least
labor. In the greatest Quantity, on a given
amount of land. The first requisite to farm
ing is a good Plow, one that will scour readi
ly in nil soils, and is made of the best mate
rial upon scientific principles liascd upon the
experienceof centuries. The Canton Clipper
riow willbe found the plow combining these
qualities in the greatest degree. As Corn Is
tlie staple crop of this section, a gocd Corn
Planter Is a desideratum to profitable fann
ing not to begot alongwithout. Suchnnonc
Is Selby's Union Corn Planter. The next
implement Is a good Cultivator; such is Par
lin's Walking Cultivator. It is easily man
aged, does Its work well, with ease to the
horses, and is durable. In small grain an
Implement Is needed that docs Its work well
in all kinds of grain, in all conditions and
positions; one that works sis well In grass as
grain, and is of light, uniform draft on the
borses. Tills means the John P. Manny
Reaper and Mower. A Stalk Cutter Is also
necessary, and no better can be found than
Cole's. All of these, together with all the
lesser Implements, such as Iland Corn Plan
ters, Hay Knives, Forks, Spades, Kakes,
Hoes, etc., can be examined and purchased at

It Cultivates the ground deeper than any other
Machine of the kind, and by an arn.ngement of the
Joint it can be made to work ns well atter six vear's
usageas when first put into tlie field. AVe have let

recommend It as the BEST CULTIVATOR IX LVE'
IT POSSESSES 3IA.W AIVA'TAES OVKU
OTHER COKX PLOWS:
1. It is so simple that it can be operated by a boy.
2. By means ofu peculiar twist in the Diamond
Shovels, (n late imiiroveitu'nt.t Wi avoid alt aide
prciiures, whether the shovels are set to throw dirt
to or from the corn.
3. By means of the evener, and the draft being
on a direct line from the gangs to the horses'
shoulders, thehorses' necks, as well as the wheels,
are relieved of nil downward pressure.
4. By means o( a patent square frsme. the knuck
les are held in an exact vertical potion, thereby
keeping tlie gangs in the same potltlon. and pre
venting that rocking motion so common with other
plows.
.. One man will do the work of two, with greater
ease to hiniielf and borses, and thus save the waces
and board of a hired man, which is equal per mouth
to the price of the machine.
