Curing Corn Fodder.

The season will soon be IN hand when
farmers will have 10 cut and secure the
crops of corn cut for fodder. Formerly,
when labor was abundant, We found it most
convenient to employ hand labor, using
the common corn cutter. These remarks,
of course, apply TO corn sOwn in thick drills
as no good manager ever sOwed broadcast.
Sometimes we have found hand who by Il
skillful use ola stiff scythe, would NOW rap
idly and lay the crop as regular as if cut
with cradle. After cutting, it was allow
ed to dry on the ground two or three days,
if the weather admitted, and then bound in
bundles and placed in shocks We are
satisfied it is quite as well to bind it up at
once. For even several weeks drying has
proved insufficient in any case to eXpel
water sufficiently from the stalks to prevent
heating in the stack. This heating has al
ways proved the great difficulty, and is OBJ
Waited in various ways, such as making
large, upright, and firm shocks to remain
in the field till winter; by spreading the
undried fodder on poles under sheds, and
throughout barns; or by making small
stacks with three rails placed vertically in
the middle TO form ventilating chimney.

Neat Premises.


A GREAT difference may be observed In
ooOd farmers, so far as keeping tneir pren,-
fses Ina neat and finished order Is cOncerneu.
with some. no weeds, briars or Dusnes' arc
seen along fences, no gates on tneir hihSSs,
and no tools out Of place or exposed 10 tue
weather. Others, successful III most par
tieulars. are careless in these ana similar
respects. This is doubtless parity owing 70
the force Of habit, partly from sioVeniy
mind. and partly by undertaking more
than they can well accomplish. AS gen
oral rule the neat farmer is the most sue
cessful One-this We have observed id d
LARGE number Of instances, and the excep-
ton A. probably not one in twenty. The
reason OF this is that the man OF order ana
energy qualities required for the best sue
cess carries out his ideas OF order In all
their details. and does not do a smart thing
In one place and stupid thing in another.
In however, sometimes happens that or
der and ueatness are sometimes neglected
because everything is not though OF at the
right time To Obyiate this difficulty, every
owner or manager Of farm should carry
small memorandum book in his left panta-
looms pocket, where il will always be at
hand whether he throws his coat of or not.
Wherever he passes he will, OF course, have
both eyes open, and everything which he
sees out Of order or requiring attention
which be cannot instantly rectify, he should
at once enter In his boOk-such for instance,
as a broken gate, latch board knocked
of the fence, harrow left In the field, a
batch OF thistles left uncut, burdOck and
a bunch Of elders growing in corner OF
the fence, a wagon with defective Inch
pin, weakened strap in his harness, and a
hundred other matters Of a similar charac-
ter. The first day that can be spared, ell
ther by himself or one OF his best wOrkmen,
should he devoted 10 putting these things
all in order with the memorandum book or
a copy OF il before him, where everything is
crossed out as fast as they are completed.
BY adopting this course as regular sys-
TEN, the whole premises would soon be
found to have assumed a neat and satisiac-
tory appearance, and, as a matter Of econ
Omy, no labor will probably be 50 well ex-
pended. Country Gent.
