A corn shoot will grow nround the biggest kiud of n clod if given time , but In the meantime there are thous ands of weed seeds between the corn hills that are under much more fav orable conditions. The moral of this hint needs no exposition.

Certain compounds recommended last year by one of our experiment stations were absolutely without effect. The turning of stock to pasture too early In the spring results in little gain. The first grass is largely water and is about as productive of flesh and energy as water and salt and a little coloring matter. Of course the sun shine and scenery offset the lack of nutriment In the early pasture to a certain extent Asparagus may be grown from seed. The seed may be sown at any time dur ing spring and summer , yet it ought to be done fairly early , as it tikes them about six weeks to come up. Plant In straight rows and keep the young plants free of weeds. The young plants may be reset to permanent beds or rows in the fall or following spring , where they will be ready for use the second spring after seeding.

A farmer In Ohio wrote to the De partment of Agriculture that he had struggled for twenty years on an eighty-acre farm heavily mortgaged , but had been unable to reduce his debt or rise above a poverty that made the bringing up of his family a humiliation. He asked If there was any hope for him upon the farm , or If he might as well give up the fight The department requested that he make a detailed re port of his farm and its soils , tnd upon this It based a plan of fannlnj , which ho wai recommended to follow to ths * lotter. There was a proflt the first year of ? 2,000 , and the department be lieves that ultimately the despised eighty acres can be made to yield $5,000 a year. World To-Day. Horseradish Is commonly grown from offsets and not from seed. Some claim they have best success in growing It as a second crop after early cabbage , beets , etc. The crop Is dug in the fall , the small roots removed and cut Into sets 4 to 0 Inches long. The top end Is cut square and the bottom end. slant ing , so its to make no mistake in plant- Ing. These are tied in bundles and kept over winter In sand. In spring , after the cabbage are set out , a row of horse radish is planted between the cabbage rows. Small holes are made with a light crowbar or long stick , and the sets dropped In and covered 2 or 3 Inches deep , so that they dp not come up until July 1. The roots are dug very late In the fall. Any deep , rich , \ veljdrained soil will answer for horse radish. Forage for An especially timely bulletin has just been issued from the Missouri Experi ment Station by Dean II. J. Waters , giving the results of some experiments to determine the value of different crops for hogs. Thirty-six pigs weighing about fifty pounds each were fed in lots on dif ferent forage crops in connection with corn , until they were ready for mar ket , accurate account being kept of the cost of gahis made. In cheapness of gains the feeds used ranked as follows : Corn and skim milk , cheapest ; corn and alfalfa , second ; corn and red clover , third ; corn and bluegrass , fourth ; com and rape , fif tli ; corn and ship stuff , sixth. A saving of about 75 cents a hundred in the cost of gain was effected by using green clover Instead of fresh bluegrass. A saving of $1 a hundred was effected by using alfalfa instead of bluegrass. . When it Is realized that alfalfa comes on early and when properly clipped stays green all summer and until the very hard freezes of early winter , its Importance as a hog pas ture is apparent. Clover yields more forage per acre than bluegrass , and as shown by these experiments has a much higher feeding value. It is of the utmost importance therefore , to provide this sort of pasture for hogs rather than to require them to run on a bluegrass pasture , or even worse than bluegrass.a timothy pasture , or even far worse than this , to confine them tea a dry lot In the summer tune. This bulletin recommends a succession of crops for profitable hog posture , of Marketing Crops. The expense of hauling crops to mar ket is estimated at $80,000,000 in ad dition to railway transportation charges. The government has recently coixiucted an extensive investigation of the cost of marketing crop * with a view to promoting agricultural econ omy. The expense is so great that much valuable land remote from trans portation facilities la practicallj raluo- less for cultivation and can onlj be profitably utilized In HT stock hus bandry , as cattle , sheep and horeoa caa be driven cheaply to remote rallvrayi , where the expense of hauling fleld crops would olimlnat * all proSt > in agricultural products , Wheat , oats , corn , bari / SLaS. flax cannot profitably b * produced from re mote trausportatioa facilities , Oorn la the leading cereal and cost * 9 p y cent of tbe crop to haul it to market It is an expenaiTO crop to product and market and the cost of hauling it to the etevatora is a hear/ tax OH the Industry.

Th farmer's tlrne and team have a psr day value when occupied with operations on the farm and have an equal value when devoted to mar- ketlus agricultural products. The government investigation was conducted with the object of discover - Ing methods of delivering crops to mar ket at reduced cost If the expensa could be cheapened one-tenth It would save farmers $8,000,000 annually. The only practical method suggested by the government experts was to im prove the roads of the country , to cheapen the expense of moving crops to market With better public thorough fares the farmer could double the capa city of his load and reduce the cost of marketing proportionately. Like rail ways which the government subsidized with enormous grants of public lands , the Improvement of the roads of the country should command national ami Slate appropriations and not burden tiie loc-nl authorities with the cost of. betterments.

NEW YORK. Weather , crop and trade reports are irregular. There are some rather less re assuring advices from some sections as to leading crops , due mainly to excessive rainfall in wide areas ; bad roads are a necessary result of this , and trade in affected sections naturally has suffered.
