Our farmers would act wisely if they
would SOW considerable amount of corr
to be cut for hay. tits pronounced much
better than any grass that can be grown
DIR. Lee, of Knox county, Tenn, an ex
perienced aTiculturist and dairyman
says in a communication to the Southern
CuHiraior
BY cultivating the early sixty and ninety
day Northern corn in the cotton States, two
good crops may be raised for hay in a year
on the same ground, which, properly cured,
will be worth about fifty per cent. more,
pound for pound, than the average Of bard
pressed Northern hay, sent South for a
market. Indeed, farmers often sell their
very weedy timothy and herds grass
hay, closely baled, and feed their own stock
on superior corn hay, finding both opera
lions profitable. "A long aud large expe-
rience has demonstrated the wisdom Of re-
tanning the nutritive elements that form
the seeds Of corn, in the leaf and stalk for
forage, why should we not raise and cure
corn in that cheaper way, and not feed 80
much in the ear2
As the seeds Of this magnificent grass
ripen, the sugar, starch and gum that re-
main in Its leaves and stems, are changed
into woody tissue, and approximate fine
saw dust in nutritive value. five pull the
blades before this change takes place,
the loss in the weight of the seed is larger,
from the mutilation Of the plant in the
most critical time OF is existence, than the
gain Of nutriment in the fodder. Stripping
off leaves puts a stop 60 the organization of
sugar, starch, gum, gluten and albumen
and for whose benefit II fodder OF forage
is our object, why not raise crop express
ly for that purpose, and get, as we may,
from ten TO twenty pounds Of good hay,
where we obtain one pound Of poor fodder,
unless we damage our corn TO improve the
fodder? II cUt and cured at the time when
the leaves and stems Of corn abound in the
elements that form many bushels of grain
per acre, can a farmer doubt that such
forage will be very nutritious?
As Germ is a gross feeding plant high
manuring and deep blowing should pre-
cede the planting for a big crop. In drills
straight and three feet apart, one may SOW
from a half bushel 10 two bushels Of corn
10 the acre, according to the richness Of the
many plants in a drill or hill starve one
another, and in dry weather rob each other
of due moisture. To avoid bad "6ring."
l use less seed than many, although
know that my corn stalks will be some
larger than is desirable
IL Is little more difficult TO cure our
large corn of Tennessee, than il is the
small corn Of New York, where the writer
was raised, on a pretty large stock farm.
But have never failed 60 cure a crop well
IN this State, or in Georgia, as follows:
Tie the tips Of corn in opposite rows to-
gether, and set mp corn all Around pretty
straight, until a small stock is formed.
With a hand of straw, sedge or crab-grass,
bind the tips of corn firmly in the stock,
cut the stalks first tied together, and let the
bunch stand until the air aud sun dry the
stalks, when the crop should be we'll housed.
IL is very bulky forage, and one needs
large barn, shed or stable for storing corn
hay,
