I was born and raised on a farm, and began farming for my- 

 self in 1858. My farm is situated on Section 11, Township of 

 Milk's Grove, Iroquois County, Illinois. It is in a desirable 

 location for the production of corn, oats, potatoes, timothy and 

 red clover, but the climate is hardly favorable to wheat. My 

 forte has been corn and hogs. 



COKN CULTURE. 



I have raised quite a number of cattle, horses, and mules, 

 which have paid very well; but in this county corn and pork 

 are kings. I have tried the various ways of planting corn ; 

 check row, drill, and in hills rowed one way, but have had 

 most success planting in hills, three feet eigiit inches in the 

 row, taking out the second drop in the planter, allowing the 

 hill of three to five grains to scatter along the row from six to 

 ten inches, and cultivating one way. This mode I have fol- 

 lowed for eleven years without deviating.
