When gone over this way it may now and then pull up a stalk 

 or so, but no harm will be done ; on the contrary, the corn will 

 grow the better. After it reaches six or eight inches in hight, 

 take a walking or riding cultivator and go over it three times ; 

 by that time it will be loo high for the two-horse cultivator, 

 and if it should still be weedy, go over with a one-horse cul- 

 tivator, as the crop will stand drouth well and ear better. 

 Farmers are fully paid who cultivate their fields of corn well. 

 Your work pays better, because you can feed your stock better. 

 It is the experience of farmers in southeastern Kansas, that 

 the corn crop thoroughly worked results favorably every 

 season. If Fall plowing can not be done, owing to bad weather, 

 plow at the earliest moment in Spring, and let lie awhile be- 

 fore harrowing and planting. Wheat is always best when 

 sown in well-prepared ground, about the first of September.

 when properly conducted. 



HOW TO RAISE STOCK.

 has good water. Enclose the stock yard with a tight board 

 fence, and furnish it also with sheds, hay-rack and feed-
