Ssre of Timothy Meadows.

Ifany of our farmers own reilly good timo-

is, not to pasture them closely in the fall

quentIY hive, and in winter it is a protection
from cold. The SHOWS of our winters are not
always an adequate covering for meadows
and when they are not, good coat of their
own keeps them from much harm. Farmers
often depend on the fall growth of grass On
their meadows, for increasing the yield Of
their dairy, for fattening such stock as they
wish to dispose of, and for their horses. This
practice is Questionable. so fsr as it relates to
the good Of the meadow. Heavy animals
make the srrfsce harder than it should be, or
in a wet time, poach it so that It is uneaven !
besides, the injury done to the roots is often
considerable. Sheep and lambs, calves and
young colts, may be allowed to crop the grass
lightly, if it has vigorous growth. Meadows
protected in winter by their own coat, start
much earlier in the spring than when unpro-
tected and it is an excellent plan to cover
them lightly with straw or coarse material, II
their own growth is not sufficient. Until we
adopt the English plan of depending largely
on roots and straw with little hay for winter

The Value of Indian Corn.

By those who do not know, or are TOO scien-
tifc to profit by experience OF nations of men
and herds of fat cattle, Indian corn, rye, buck
wheat, &C., are only considered good fodder.
Lsebig states that if We were to go naked as
the indians, or il We were sut5eet to tue
same degree of cod as the Sathbidtf, 4se
should be able to consume the half of a calf
aud doEprt candtes at a single meal. During
fatigue, in low temperature, wheat -four sns-
tains the system. This is owing to a defcien-
cy in the elements necessary to supply animal
heat, and thes strong desire for oleggitsc1s slsb
stances, under the circumstances, has led to
the belief that animal food is necessary for hui
man support But late scientific experiments
aud a better acquaintance With the' North
American Indians, have shown that vrgeta-
bic oil answers the same purpose AS animal
food and that one pound of parched Indian
corn, or an equul quantity of corn-meal into
bread, is more than equivalent to two pounds
Of fat meat.
Meal from Indian corn contains more tLa9
four times as much oleaginous matter as
wheat -four more starch and consequently
capable of producing more sugar. and, th )ugh
less gluten, in other important compounds it
contains nearly as much nitrogenous material.
The combination of alimentary compounds in
Indian corr renders it alone the mixed diet
capable of sustaining man under the most ex
traordinary circunlst;rnces. Eu it there is a
natural coaesceEce of elementary principles
which constitutes the basis Of organic lif",
