fEdjdn Corn Broddcdst.-Ae correspondent of the American Farmer says: :. As to your inquiries relative to corn sown broadcast. for fodder, have had the experience of but one year, and am perfectly satisfied of its value. Ny horses have performed equally well as on fodder prepared or cured after the old plan. The apprehenslons you express, that the blade and top would be rendered val ueless, by desscation before the stalk could be sufficiently dried to save 1t from heating and spelling, &e., is groundless. I cut my corn just before the usual time for saving blades; 1t remained on the ground fer about 24 hours for the purpose of willing; was then taken up, bound into eommon-sized sheaves, and about five or six of them set up together on the butts ill place. It thus remained till sufficiently cured for slowing away in farm house. do not recollect the precise time occupied in curing, but top fodder has been So treated for years ia Caro- line county, and then put up in stacks. l. Is astonishing how much wet weather 1t will stand and yet be good fodder, if bound in sheaves, as aforesaid, and set up. Recolleet too, that the stalks of the broadcast corn are not larger than the stems of the tops of good corn, planted at the usual distance; and, if you were to resort to the old-fashioned fod- der house simply for curing, the matter could be as certainly accomplished in that way as in the ordinary curing of top-fodder. It is said, too, that the saccharine principle in corn resides near the bottom of the stalk, and of course this is all lost by the old method. cannot speak of the weight of the crop, but of this ! am cartain if xviT1 r,roduca r,O-a valuable food for stock, per acre, than any thing that has come under my view; 1t is accomplished with less labor and less pre- paraiion. T'he past year my seed was not properly covered, and the birds got much of the grain before it sprouted; there were many naked spots of several yards square, but, nevertheless, there were forty large ox-cart loads from a little over two acres:

The Wetaad Canal-The Welland Ca nal (says correspondent of the New York Commercial) has now about one thousand men employed in the construction of the new locks, and making the enlargement During the past winter some four thousand were em- nEoYdi, and as soon -aa the nagigation ceases. 1t is expected six thousand men will find oc- cupation. greater number than is now em- Pioyed cannot work to advantage, without stepping navigation. Tie entire work will probably be completed in 1915, but in 1915 It will be nayigable on the enlarged plan.
 At the present time there are g locks when the enlarged work Is finished, there will be only 9, with I lift of from l2I to IA feet. The locks on the old canal are made of wood: the new ones are of granites made in the best manner. Those at each entrance from the lakes are to be lS5 feet long and 4e feet wide; tho other twenty l50 feet long and 265 feel wide. The length of the cana will be 2S miles. The vessels which vii pass through the canal, are to be l46 fee long and 5 wide, including all projections The sehoonegs wifi generally be of the bur then of 450 tons. t is especsed that tx chief portion of the trade viii be done by thi new-fashioned steamers called sspropallers."

~ Our neiehbos Of the Davenport Gazette
is little TOO hard upon us, because we hap
nened to be tiuie behind him in crediting The
,enort that our old Bill Johnson was not the
Hero he p,ofessed TO be, bu, daring 'mpos-
tor. How could we tell whether lie was the
real old Bill or not! Every body seemed to
consider him the old !ellow. and We, being too
much Of Democrat TO stand Out against the
belief Of SO large majority. believed it our
self. If the editor Of the Gazette is too per-
cep,ivc to be gulled, why did he not express
doubt about the matter when ne published the
first notice Of his being in the Territory. The
fac, is, we were all gnl'ed. and the only DIT
ference is, the editor took him to be such from
the statement Of a Buffalo paper, while others
waited for further proof. Ii is bad enough
to be hoaxed without having one who was
foremost in getting out Of it TO laugh al Us for
heinz where he was once himself.
