Sowing Corn FOR GREEN FEED AND
WINTER FODDER. Corr far fodder may be
sown at intervals from the lst of June to the
Is, Of July, thus enabling the farmer to have
succession of cuttings. II will be fiji for the
sickle or scylhe in about eighty days from
sowing. For green feed, we should prefer
the Southern fat or horse tooth variety. If
the ground intended for il, is not very foul,
we SOW broadcast-,hree bushels TO the acre,
which, is allowing something for tribute to
their maj ESTES, the crows-whO, we suspect,
are more easily coaxed than driven.
Enormous crops of green corn feed have
been chronicled, ranging from thirty TO forty
tO"s per acre-but we suppose very fair
yieid,on land in moderately good filth, would
be Is TO 90 tons of green feed TO the acre, or
four to six tons of cured fodder. 1t seems
clear that no other plant cultivated for fod-
der, can furnish so much and so valuable
feed to the acre, and so cheap, as corn.
In regard to the kind Of corn and the me-
,hod Of sowing, there is difference of opin-

l. That the percentage of the protein
compounds, in the analysis called gluted and
albumen, is nearly equal to what is contain.
ed in peas and beans, and that, therefore,
for the production Of milk for the cheese .dai.
ry, and also for laying on muscle, oi-cakes
are as valuable as beans, peas, or clovers.-
THIS is somewhat unexpected, inasmuch as
the value Of oi-cakes in the feeding of stock
has hitherto been supposed 10 depend very
much upon their power Of laying on fat: in
other words, upon the percentage of oil
they contain.
2. The proportion Of oil in these cakes is
greater than is naturally present IN any spe.
cics Of grain or pulse usually cultivated. Oats
contain as a maximum abou, z, and Indian
corn about 9 per cent. Of oil, but these cakes
contain IL per cent. and are, therefore, in
their ability to supply fat to an animal, supe-
vior 10 any Of our cultivated grains.
2. These oil. cakes leave six per cent. OF
ash, Of which one third consists Of phosphorc
acid: 100 lbs. of oi-cake, therefore, con.
tain 2 lbs. Of phosphoric acid. On the other
hand, our common kinds of corn-wheat, for
exampIe-leave only two per cent. Of ash, oil
which onc.half consists Of phosphoric acid
or 100 lbs. Of wheat contain 10. of phos.
phoric acid. Therefore, for laying on bone
or for supplying the materials Of bone 10
growing stock, oH- cake is tvice as yaluabic
as whedt, weight for weight, and more than
tpiee as caluablc as oats or barley which are
covered with husk.
4. Again the same reasoning shows that,
as grains of all kinds draw their phosphoric
acid from the SOIL these oily seeds will ex-
haust the soil of IFS phosphales to a much
greater degree than our corn crops: 100 lbs
Of linseed will carry off twice as much Of
them from the soil as 100 lbs. of wheat.
5. But the same circumstance supplies an
additional reason why the manure of full
gro1n store stock fed upon oi!cake IS so
much fichcr than that obtained by the use of
any other kind Of food. 1t is richer,
(d) Because the proportion of the protein
compounds (a!bumen, &c in the o,l-cake is
greater than the fa,tening animal can appro-
PIRATE, and thus much Of them passes off in
more or less changed state, and is mixed will,
the dung.
IN The oil also is in larger proportion
chan can at times be laid on their bodies e.
ven by fauening stock, and this unique s,ion-
ably contributes TO the ferlilizing quality Of
shc manure.
(c) But the full-grown animal appropri.
ates scarcely any Of the phosphates-the
whole of these therefore, which the ANNA
consumes in ITS food, appears again in il
dung. And the o.cakes being richer in these
phosphates weight for weight, than any kline
Of cora used for food, the dung thus made i
