yalue,of Corn.stalks for Fodder


Icut up all my corn; after re-
peated experiments and much ex-
perience, | am satisfied it is the
way. 1t is better for the corn, it
is infinitely better for the fodder.
/ should add that some few
years back | wintered q hundred
head OF cattle, carrying them well
through the winter on lite beside
corn fodder from one hundred and
forty acres Of corn, for | do not
like to take the straw largely into
account, and / had not thatseason
twenty tons of good hay in my
barns. | annually winter my
horses in great part on long lod-
der, nor is its length, when fed in
cribs or rail hangers in the yard,
any considerable inconvenience.
We tic the fodder in bundles as
we husl< the corn, using rye straw
or broom corn stalks, and put in
punches of a dozen or fifteen bum
dies. and haul as soon after husk-
ing as we can, and decidedly, then,
the best way is to stack in the
round stack. In cutting up the
fodder you will avoid all risk of
danger from tho weather. In top
ping and blading the risk to the
blades in bad seasons in particu-
lar, is very great. Corn may be
cut up, and should be, as early as
the blades can be. safely pulled,

ously offered, in Talbot County.
by that accomplished, intelligent.
and Jealous friend Of agriculture,
Edmund Ruiiin, Esq, to ascertain
which mode of saving fodder is
least injurious to the corn. the
very excellent report Of Mr.. Holli-
day, Of that county, showed, accor-
ding to my recollection. that corn
cut up, not only lost less weight
than any other process Of saving
the fodder, but actually less than
when it was left to stand on
the stalk in the field until gath
cred. Ii may be convenient to
have few blades, and certainly
it often is, but give me as gen.
eral rule the noble plant as it grew
robbed only Of the grain, both for
the stock and manure-yard, as
well as for the subsequent tillage
Of the field on which it grew
The difference between topping
and blading and cutting up Of
corn, would hardly be stated toe
strong by saying, it was the differ
ence between insuring the cepac-
ity to winter a good herd ofstock,
and having some blades saved FOL
the horses, the work-stock Of the
farm.

To Cure Croup.

Several Of my chilren have ut
different times been suddenly and
violently attacked with Group,
and have been cured in the follow
ing manner:
Divest the child ola clothing
about the neck and chest; then
bathe the throat and upper part
of the chest freely with cold wa
ter. Let this be done by pouring
sponging or very frequent appli.
cation OF wet cloths. While this
is being done, prepare icarm wa
ter, and immerse the feet in it,
This gives relief in q short time,
when the child should be put quiz
city to rest, with u jug Of warm wa.
ter to the feet, when Precipitation
and sleep would soon follow.
Any one can follow these direc-
tons Immediately, and it is a
complaint which is soon fatal, un.
less checked in tho early stages,
and many precious Lives are lost
because physician is not al
hand, until too late to save from
sulfocation.
| have often tried this, and never
failed to give relief in an hour, Of
ten in halt that time.-Sclccfcd

might give his own statement Of
the case. Finding his ncighbor
at work in his field, he said to him,

An Efectual Method Of Destroying
Bed Bugs.

1t Is not q very uncommon idea,
that where bugs once are, there
they must and will be; us if they
we're some understandable, little
spirits, that laugh at and evade
all endeavors to destroy them
This however. is quite a mllacy,
and one successful mode ofgetting
rid OF them, is TO mix a half pint
Of rectifed spirits of vino with
halfa pint Of turpentine au half an
ounce ofcamphor. The camphor
should be broken up into little bits
and shaken in bottle with the
spirits it will soon dissolve and
be fit for use. The bed furniture
or hangings should be taken of,
and, il ola material to bear wash
ing it should be washed; otherwise
it should be well brushed and ex-
amined: and the parts that have
been near the wood should be
sponged with the mixture, which
will not injure. The bedstcad
should be unscrewed and the mix
ture thoroughly applied to all the
joints and cracks, by which means
not only the bugs, but the ggs
will be destroyed. II will be well
at the same time to scour the
floor Of the room with strong lime
water, and wash any other piece
offurniture which have any cracks
where bugs might secrete them
selves, with the camphor and spir.
its. Although il is by no means
always proof Of dirtiness when
bugs appear, it certainly will be
the part ofcleanliness to speedily
take means to destroy them.
