SOAKING CORN FOR HORSES.

cessfli farmers in our vicinity, informed
us few days since, that he saved al least
one third Of hiss corn by the manner IN
which he fed ii Quito bis horses: he mas
two.hogshead, placed in his cellar where
they are secure from freezing. These nc
first fills with corn in the ear, then pours III
a srficieu, quantity Of water TO cover 'he
corn. After the ears have been thorough
" soaked he commences feeding, gives 10
bis horses t,co thirds Of the usual quantity
allowed. As one Of these hogsheads be-
comes empty, he it; and oy tne Tune
the other is empty the one last filled Is sui
6ciep,Iy soaked for use. In this way the
cobs become so sofiened that the horses
consume the whole Of them, and they are
thus made to add fully one third more to
h;s stock of food. He assures US that the
horses eat the cobs with avidi,y, keep in
good order, and are just as competent to
perform plantation labor as when they
consumed the grain alone. The success
or our informant should stimulate his ag-
,;cultural brethren to follow his example,
as the labor ofpreparationis nothing com
