CRoP OF Corn SrALKs.-Permit me to mention
an experiment made by myself at Washington, on
the subject of fodder. Noticing the statements
made in the French periodicals, that the stalks of
corn (maize) contained one half as much sacchar
inc matter as the cane, and knowing that my an
cestors made their moasses during the revolution
airy from these stalks, | sowed four and a half
bushels of common corn, broadcast and narrowed
in the same. This labor was easily performed by
a single man with team (lncludng the plowing)
in a day. Having soaked the corn in saltpetre
water, took rapid start, over-toppcd the weeds,
and covered the ground with forest of stalks
When fairly tasseed, | cut the same, which | fed
to cattle, horses and hogs both green and dry. If
fed TO swine after being cured, it was cut and fer
mented with chop or bran. Being anxious to as
certain the quantity, measured few square feet
of the stoutest | found had five pounds of green
fodder per square foot; this may not seem incred-
bic. and 1t is probably less than what would grow
in rich lands at the West; if, however, we consider
that there are As, $50 square feet in an acre, we
shall obtain 2l7 800 lbs. 1881 tons of green fod-
der
cut the first crop in the early part of July, and
plowed and sowed the same land again, and took a
second crop wo-thirds as large, and even tried a
third on the same land but it did not reach over 10
inches before the frost seized it. Persons who have
only small patch of ground may try this expert
ment TO advantage, and fill their barns with fodder.
In curing stalks, II Is recommended to place the
small end upon the ground, with the butts upward,
to guard against the absorption of moisture from
the wet ground. Whoever will try the experiment
of cutting flowers and putting some on damp fan
mel, or into water, and hanging up others in the
sun, will the advantage of curing fodder in the
way have mentioned. Should any fear the stalks
would not stand upon the small end, a few rows
could be left to support the remander.-HOn. H.

out; the bull pushed by his two conquerors and
knocked down the master who thrown from the
other side of the table. A most horrible scene then
commenced, the furious animals continued the con-
test with each other in the room where there were
forty pupils upset and broke benches and tables, and

The master, though at first terrified by the unex-
pectcd scene and the and cries of the children,
soon succeeded in recovering mis- presence of mind
and selected the only Of safety which pos
sble. He saved all the children by taking them
from under the feet of the combaants and putting
them through the windows into garden. For more
than two minutes most Of the scholars prostra-
ted and trodden by the bulls, yet they escaped
with no injury but bruises.
The school room after the bulls left it exhibited
marks Of entire devastation the windows broken, as
well as the benches and tables, the teachers desk
and every thing in it forming one heap of ruins
Every does justice to the devotedness the cour-
