mills have an apparatus fer grinding
DR., Mease adds, .fthat corn meal alone
IS too nourishing or heating, and it IS
therefore, by those who use it, mixed
with a portion Of cut straw, or coarse
" ground rye or shorts, and IN this
Constitutes the daily food Of that fine
BODY of draught horses that do much
credit to our carriers and draymen q
Philadelphia, and the Industrious far
tners Of the State atlarge."
That the cob ofcorn contains con
siderable nourishment in itself, Is very
probable; indeed, instances are on re-
cord, in which poor people, in times
Of scarcity offood foi animals, have
converted themto a good use by poun-
ding and boiling them, and feeding
out with a small quantity of cut corn,
leaves or straw. On such food cattle
have some time subsisted, and even
seemed to be in good heart, if not to
thrive.
In the Mass. Ag. Reports for 1925,
is a communication from Mr.. Rice, OF
Shrewsbury, on the subject Of feeding
cattle, which constituted part OF his
business, in the course of which he
gives an account Of one of his expert
lnents in using cob meal.
"The second year, if mistake not,
in which I made use of cob meal, |
thought would try an experiment by
feeding one OK with corn and oats
ground, the other with corn and cobs,
having yoke Of oxen so even match
ed, that no one who viewed them was
satisfied which was the best;according-
" I fed them as above. The cob is
computed to make little more than one
third, therefore, | mixed the other
with one third oats as was my former
mode. I gave each OK an equal guam
tity at time, except the one which
had corn and oats sometimes became
dainty, and would not eat his allow
ance, while the ether kept regular
course. The allowance for both was
little over three peclls per day
When taken to market and killed, they
weighed twenty eight hundred and a
half: the one fed on corn and oats
weighing half hundred the most,
while the other fed on corn and cob
meal was considerable half dollar
per cwt. the best beef. The one fed
IN corn and cobs had 1853 lbs. of tai
low, the other 1872 lbs. D
From this, and other experiments, it
would seem that cobs ground with
corn, add to its value for the purposes
of feeding, nearly or quite as much as
would the same quantity Of oats. #
such is the case, there can be little room
for doubt as 10 the propriety Of making
the practice of grinding the cob with
the corn general, where this grain is
used for feeding.-yalbony Cuyti0ator.

DAIRYING.

The best dairy in New England, is
upon our toughest, highest granite
hills. The quantity Of butter turned
out from cows pastured upon them, is
much greater, and the quality much
better than that produced from the low
land pastures. Fortunate is the far
mer with the good housewife, who
knows how to make the best butter
Mr.. Baker, who resides about four
miles out of this town on the Bow hills
furnishes three large families in Con-
cord, will all their butter, on the pro-
duce of FIVE COWS, after commercially
serving up his own family in butter,
cream, and the best new milk. These
five ordinary cows, gave him in the
month of June, as high as thlrty-six
pounds of butter in week; and while
others were selling their butter for store
pay, at ten and twelve cents pound,
he was regularly dealing out his butter
for cash, at fifteen cents a pound
Hard finty hills Of New Hampshire,

those elements offertility which make
our soil really more desirable, under a
proper treatment and cultivation, than
the best prairie country of the West
and South. We have here no malaria
producing agues and chills, and no
congestive fevers. We have no over

crops far and near: from the dangers
to which poor humanity is the heir in

Usefulness OF MoLEs.

Our correspondent, says one of our

nication on the utility of moles in de-
stroying the wire worm and other grubs
which feed on the plants Of the young
