1t will standing, while the Fodder will not
be materially injured by frost. Admitting
that there is n small loss in grain bv enrly
cn,ting though it is undoub eddy less than

should think 1t fifty per cent. Well cured
corn stalks afford excellent winter food
for neat cattle, and when fodder is likely t"
be in demand, they may be made to contri
butte largely to the profits Of the iarm.-
Several OF our acquaintance have kept their
neat stock almost entirely upon this fodder
during the past winter, and we have done
the like, having first cut ours in cuttlng
machine, and 50 far as we can learn, the
cattle kept upon them in an excellent con-

INDIAN ClRN

There is another qIes ion Of interest to
farmers, which relates to the mode Of har
vesting the crop, that Is, whether it is best
to top the stalks, cat the whole at the
ground when the gram is glazed, or cut the
whole when the grain is fully rlpened.-
We have stated the experiments of Mr.
Clark of Northampton. one Of the bes,
practical farmers Of our country, and of
other gentlemen, showing that the grain
suffers dimlnn'ion of SIX or eight bushels
the acre, by topping III. stalks; and there
seems to be no countcrbilancing benefit in
the fodder. unless a. the expense of carry.
inr the stalks to the borders If the field.
that they may be secured before the crop
is gathered, aud b ,fure they become blanch-
ed aud halc ruined. And it is NJ protection
against early autumnal frusts, but rather
exposes nnrpcncd gram to be more in ured.
Hence. 50 far as regards these two modes
all whD have made a comparison, seem To
concur N the oplnipn, that stripping the
corn Of It's tops anl leaves Is a bad pract ice.
William Carm'chaeI % Virginia has given
Us IN the Farmers Register. his expert
ments IN this matter winch 90 to corrobp.
rate The conclusion we have drawn. lie
took, promlscuously, 100 ears from corn
that had been topped, and 100 ears from

growth of the corn, but it deprives the
