THE FODDER OF SWEET CORN.

The Ieader of the Telegraph will no doubt
remember that we long ago advocated the
sowing Of sweet corn for feeding green to cat
tie in august and September, being con vinced
that it made much better feed than the or
d'nary corn of the farm. Stowells Evergreen
which produces largely Of fodder, we sug
eested as the best to plant for this purpose
We also stated that the dried fodder for win
ter use was also greatly to be preferred to
the other. The following staten ents put
forth by the Norfolk Co. (Mass.) Agricultu-
raj Society, will go far to substantiate what
We have hitherto written on the subject. In
the report of the society, it is stated that.
Mr.. Spear, the occupant of the Welles
Farm in Dorchester, considers the fodder of
sweet corn very valuable. He stated, that
in feeding his cows last winter on the fodder
Of sweet corn the supply became temporarily
exhausted and instead Of the fodder a full
supply of the best hay was gwen, tn. keeping
in other respects being the same as it was be-
fore but the quantity Of milk decreased con-
slderably, tai by removing some hay another
supply of corn fodder was reached, and on
returning tc it, the cows soon gave the form
CT quantity Oh tEiIk. 1ntS was the dried mar
ket as " green corn" The stalks were cut
close to the ground soon after the ears were
gathered.
The same report gives a statement derived
from Cheever NewhalI, E>q. of Dorchester,
in regard to the fodder of sweet corn, the
substance of which is as follows:
:. He planted three fuurths Of an acre of
sweet corn, in the latter part of May, Drop
ping the seed with corn planter, in rows
three feet apart, and iu drills about two feet
apart, The cultivation was all done with the
cultvator Sixty barrels of corn was sent to
Boston from the lot, and on the 18th oe Sep
tember the crop was cut close to the ground
and shocked the stalks being quite green,
as the variety was late. 1t renamed on the
field Till about the middle Of November, |
when 1t was housed. Mr. n. states that he
had ted the fodder to a COW and % his horses |
which eat with evident relish, and without |
the least waste, although the stalks were not |
cut lie is so well convinced of the value of |
fodder OF sweet corn, that he intends to raise |
enough in future to keep his horses through !

INTEREST MoNEY.-A handsome young
Euglishman, making call at a house in
Washington, where there resided several of
the loveliest young ladies in all Federalia,
suddenly discovered that he had come out
without his purse. The prettiest of the Ia

"Shall loan you dollar 2''
Would you was the reply.
The dollar was produced from the most
charming portmonnaie, and the beautiful
American said laughingly:
Il must have interest you know, when you
return it,"
The handsome Englishman called the nex'

FLIES AND YERMTN TROUBLESOME
to HORSES. Sc. I'm HOT WEATHER.

Mr. Editor: ALL of our domestic animals
are apt to be annoyed with vermin, which
little of the right kind Of knowledge, and
little attention will readily diSperse, In
some periods of hot weather, flies, especial
ly cf the Tsbanid@ variety, are particularly
troublesome. They will render a spirited
horse unmanageable, and will often drive cat.
rle from the pasture. OF sheep, the Ettrick
Shepherd" says, The flies were a. this
time settled in the fold IN such numbers
that we could with difficulty see each other.
The heads Of the sheep were swollen and
black, and seemed scab all over, the flies
being settled on them like black cloud. A
few were annointed with train oil, and no
sooner were they turned in with the others
than in few minutes not fly was to be
seen" Spirit Of tar added to the oil makes
it more efficacious, and as the flies will net
face these remedies when applied to sheep,
horses and cattle should surely be protected
from them.
Fteds are very troublesome to dogs
Washing and combing are without efficacy.
Tobacco water may be used, though it fire.
quently poisons the dog. Mr.. BIain says
the toierably certain cure, know, is to
make the log sleep ON fresh yellow deal
shavings. Rosin and bran in powder may
be usefully applied; oil, however, is believ-
ed to be a specific.
Lice on horses, cattle, Sheep and dogs,
are another pest. For these we have inyari-
ably found oil specific. In horses, the
prevalence of this filthy vermin, shows want
Of proper cleaning, although it is eftentim es
connected with poverty and mango. In the
slighter. yisitations, we have invariably found
that Oiiue oil alone will cause their disap-
pearance from all the above named animals.
Corrosive sublimate may be used but it re-
quires great caution in the application.
Itchs in sheep are another nuisance. A
mixture of tar a nd turpentne with oil is a
speedy and certain poison for them
Naggdts in sheep sometimes most fatal
yerInin. requires the utmost care and vigil,
ance. AS soon as they are observed the
parts affected should be deprived of their
wool, clipped as close to the skin as possible
and the part annointed with spirits of tur-
pentine and oil with tar, or, with solution
of corrosive sublimate, either of which will
prove a speedy and perfect cure.-R. Nc

YANKEE WIr.-In a neighboring town, in
which they were building railroad, a party
of Irishmen, who were employed there, went
to the store of a Yankee. and thinking they

Yanke deliberately cut off three p'gs feet and
handed them to the Irishman. Pat not un.
