THE BEST CULTIVATOR MADE, 
From the Connecticut Farmer, Hartford, Conn., Oct. 151 h, 1881. 
A Big Corn Crop. 
Mr. S R. Wells, of Wethersfield, ha* the largest niece of corn in that town, if not in Hart¬ 
ford County. The variety is Blount’s Prolific, ana throughout the two acres it stands 13% 
feet on a level, with from one to three ears on tue stalk. The largest Btalks are fully 15% feet 
high, and many of the ears are eight foot from the ground. Not a particle of stable manure 
has been used on the land for five years, the crop bemg raised with Mapes Corn Fertilizer, 500 
pound* to the acre 100 pounds harrowed in and the remaining 100 put around the lulls at the 
second hoeing. Single stalks will weigh six pounds each, and besides a fine yield of corn 
there will be an immense supply of fodder. On a neighboring acre, where stable manure was 
freely used, the stalk* are about as tall, but not its heavily eared, and the com is a week or 
ten days later than the other, and was not, quite ready to cat up last week. Mr. Wells says 
this is the first corn he ever raised where he had to carry around a ladder in binding up the 
sheaves. Only by climbing up about five rods is he able to properly Becure the top; but he 
isn’t disposed to grumble about the work, in view of the size of the crop. 
Yield of the above crop of Blount Com, ISO'Jbushels of ears to the acre. 
S. R. WELLS, Wethersfield, Hartford Co., Conn., Jan 14, 1882, reports on his com crop 
described above in the Connecticut Farmer: 
“ The yield of my corn crop was one hundred and eighty (180) bushel* of ears to the acre. 1 
have Hbelled three bushel* of oars, and they gave two bushels and two quarts of shelled corn. ’ 
Noth. —The proportion of shelled com reported by Mr. Well* Is very large, even for the 
Blount Com. The report of the committees on the enormous “ Rural Farm” crop of Blount 
Corn grown in 1880 with the Mapes Manure stated: “ A bushel of ears weighs 85 pounds, and 
gives 17% quarts of grain, weighing 28.99 pounds, the cobs weighing 0.01 pounds.” The actual 
yield of this crop (reported in Rubai, New-Yorker Jan. 1, 1881,) was 134.44 bushels shelled 
corn per acre. 
Its Success in Every Market -where Intro¬ 
duced boars out this claim. 
A farmer can plow two ncres more corn per day 
with it, than with the ordinary Cultivator. Can do 
the work much better and easier thau with any 
other. . . _ .. . 
Its merits understood, you can not afford to buy 
any other of the many Spring Cultivators, which
