Cutting up Corn.

/ am aware that it is early in the sea
son to say anything on this subject. Bu
because it is early l broach the subject
| was talking with a farmer the Other
! day, who said he did not believe it wa:
any benefit to the crop to cut it up,-that
he found he could get from one to three
bushels per acre more if the corn was
allowed TO ripen on the stalks before the
latter were cut Up. He thought be GOT
more weight.
In most cases, | have no doubt he
would do so. But the fact does not Prove
it is the best practice.
| have seen farmers actively engaged
in cutting large fields long after every
particle of foliage had been Withered by
the frost. That is not expending labor
economically, unless a large herd is de-
pendent upon that kind of fodder. The
time to commence cutting up corn is as
soon after the ears are glazed as it is
possible 10 get at it. No matter if the
foliage is as green as in midsummer so
much the better-so much more valuable
will the fodder be; and the loss in the
weight of the grain will be more than
compensated by the increased value Of
the stalks.
In cutting up corn when the stalks are
SO full of sap, and the foliage so green,
it is not good policy to set them up in the
large shocks or stocks common in the
West. 1t is better to set them up round
an uncut hill-fifteen or twenty hills to
the stock-and bind them we'll to it. 1t
is not a difficult matter to make the corn
stand erect in this way. Then it is easy
to cut the ILL with hook, = hon /, is TO
be husked or removed from the field
Fields intended for winter grain can be
easily cleared in this way, and in good
season. The corn off, the stalks may be
stacked securely, and the fodder preserv-
ed fresh and nutritious for horses and
cattle.
l am glad to say that the ancient prac-
tice of topping corn does not obtain here
to any great extent. That it is practiced
anywhere is only striking proof of the
want Of a more general knowledge of the
flaws OF regotaoie Physiorogy. Cot orr
the top of your corn, and the ear ceases
to grow-the grain ripens prematurely. |
There are hundreds of experim ents that
prove this, some are on record.-R,ral

DEATH OF THE MORRILL, HoKsE.-
All lovers of good stock horses will re-
gret TO learn the death Of the Old Nor
riIl Horse. He died at his owners sta
bic (Mr. French MorrilD in this village,
on Thursday night of last week. He
was sick but a few hours, his disease be-
ing inflammation Of the kidneys, of a most
violent type. His age was eighteen
years.
Mr.. Morrill, bought this horse when be
was but four years old, OF Mr. Urbin
Perkins, of Walden, paying but a nomi-
nal price, as his excellent qualities were
not then known. His owner had not
kept him long, however, before lis great
muscular power, endurance, and stock
qualities began to develop themselves
His great speed, also, gradually became
apparent; and although Mr.. NJ. never
thoroughly trained him for the trial, ye'
by the time he was eight years old there
was no horse in this section Of the coun-
try that could at all compare with him
for speed. AT several agricultural fairs
and trotting matches, both in and out of
the State, he took the highest premium.
His fastest time was 2.32, at Dedham,
Mass, and at two of the national fairs
held at Springfield, Mass, be received
the highest honors, such as diplomas,
flags, premiums, &c. In various parts OF
the country he has been well known and
regarded as a superior animal. He has
left numerous progeny, and many ex-
cellent horses in every part of the Union,
from Maine to California. AT the heighth
of his fame, his colts, before they were a
year old, would command fabulous prices.
The celebrated Young Morrill,, now kept
at Manchester, n. H., was sired by him,
aud enjoys reputation almost equal to
the Old Morrill. Star.
