Planting Corn i'm Drills.

OF late year. the subject of planting corn
in drills instead OF hills has engaged consid-
cradle attention among some of our best far
mers, in various parts of the country, and as
far as We can ascertain, it is steadily winning
its way into favor. On the large farms in
the South and West it will hardly be approx
cd. but upon small farms, in aillueut soils,
where il is important TO condcnse crops, it Is
highly to be commended, and will no doubt
after while, be very generally adopted. 1t
may require little more labor in cultiyating'
but the increased product in corn and fodder

Feeding Stock.

The great secret of rearing and feeding
stock successfully is to keep what you get and
TO save every pound of flesh and lat that is
produced. The question lying still back of
that is, how shall the flesh be maintained ?
What to do and how to do it is the question.
Don't let your stock run down in autumn.
When grass begins to fail, a farmer should
have green corn to fall ON, and thus maintain
the thrifty conditions Of his animals. The
most trying period with domestic animals is
between grass and hay. 1t is hard for them
TO change from soft and succuent food TO hard
and dry fodder. Fattening animals will often
draw ON the seeretions of their bodies for sup
plying the waste before they will attempt to
concoet nourshment from poor and unpalata-
bic food. Stock must receive some grain to
keep them in thrifty condition. For this
object soft corn will subserye an excellent pur.
pose. Before the kernels become hard ami
mails can crush thea without difficulty, and
the grain will digest readily. BY thus feed
ing only small quantity of soft grain or
meal, aud by proper protection from cold and
driving storms, hundreds Of dollars worth OF
fat and flesh may be saved which would 9TH
erwise be a dead loss. More than enough OF
fat and flesh of domestic animals il actually
lost TO everybody annually, in this State, than
would be required to pay all the taxes in the
State. | commenced feeding my cows meal

\ farmer who had been in the habit of -el-
ling his hay for many years in succession
being asked how he kept up his hay crop
without manurng or cultiyatng his land re-
piled, -" never allowed the after swath to be
cut" If this rule was generally followed
there would be less said about running out of
grass fields or short crops of hay. Some farm
ers feed out every green thing and compel
their cattle to pull zap and gnaw OIL the roots
of the grass. Cutting rowen is certain death
to hay crops \ farmer had better buy hay
at forty dollar. per ton than ruin his hay field
by close grazing The general treatment Of
grass lands in this respect is wrong and cx-
pensiye, and should be abandoned as a matter
of profit and economy Wisconsin, Farmer.
