4 NeuU Brick Machine.-We examined on
Saturday last a new brick Machine. construc-
ted by Culbertson, Mcmillan g. Co., which
appears to be great improvement upon any
:hing Of the kind which has yet been attemp-
led.-In fact it differs entirely in principle
from any we have before seen or heard of.
The clay in a crude state is thrown with a
shovel into hopper, in which mill or pull
verzer, placed over the upper press-whee ia
such manner as to discharge the clay into
the mouIds on both sides of the press-wheel.
The mouIds being filled in this manner with
pulverized clay, pass under the press-wheeI
twice-giving the brick double pressure, and
shaving them smooth by means Of a knife at
tached to the machine. The bricks are then
thrown ont of the mouIds by an admirable
continuance on a table set at each end Of the
machine, at the rate, the proprletors say, oil
5000 per hour, sufficiently hard to be stacked
in the kiln. AS the whole works will be un-
der cover they can work as we'll in rainy and
foul weather as when dry.-Cincinnati .3tlas.

Sot0ing Corn for Green Feed and Winter Fodder
Corn for fodder may be sown at intervals from
the LIST of June to the LIST of July, thus enabling
the farmer to have succession Of cuttings. 1t
will be fit for the sickle or the scythe in about
eighty days from sowing. For green feed, we
should prefer the Southern fiat or horse-tooth va
riety If the ground intended for il, was not gerry
foul, we would sow brOadcdst-three bushels to the
acre, which is allowing something for tribute to
their majeslies, the crows-who, we suspect are
more easily coaxed than driven.
Enormous crops Of green corn feed have been
chronicled, ranging from thirty TO fifty tons per
acre-but we suppose fair yield, on land in
moderately good filth, would be l6 to 20 tons of
green feed 10 the acre. or four TO six tons Of cured
fodder: It seems clear that no other plants cult
waited Tor fodder, can furnish so much and so yalua

The States of Virginia, New York, North Caro-.
lima, each have more hogs than Illinois and Mis-.
souri, but we have taken the States Of the west and
the southwest together to show the result.
Now, we want to draw two or three differences
from the number of hogs in the several States be-
fore we compare the production with that of Eu-
rope.
In the first place, hogs are latted and nearly sup.
ported on Indian corn. They exist, therefore, in
the several States, Just in proportion TO the produc.
ton Of Indian corn. Now, Tennessee has the most,
and the three States Of Tennessee, Ohio, and Ken
lucky, far more than any other three States, ofboth
Indian corn and hogs.
The twenty-six millions Of hogs in the United
States, can scarcely consume less than two humid.
red million bushels OF corn. They are, therefore,
the greatest market for that article.
five suppose these hogs to average $50 pounds
each, and to be worth--as they are-S3,50 per
cwt, then this animal alone is, in the IT, s., worth
one hundred and Sirty-Sir millions of dollars, or
three times the entire cotton crop for the year 1915
The value of swine in the State of Ohio alone, ex-
ceeds twelve millions of dollars
We shall proceed to show the number of hogs
raised propOrtionobiy in Europe and America. We
have before us McGregor's statistics which con-
tains table Of the agriculture and live stock of Eu-
rope for 1898. Since then the population Of Eu-
rope has increased more than ten per cent. and if
add ten per cent to the live stock we shall have
the full amount for this species Of stock does not
increase in densey populated countries equal with
that of other productions

To one who is unacquainted with the number of

that Russia, Austria, aud Great Britain having a
population of one hundred and twenty millions of

swine as Great Britain France Prussia, and Baya-
