FARM AND GARDEN.
Sow Corn for Fodder.

Dairymen should remember that sowed
corn, as a fall feed for milch COWS, has
received the Endorsement Of the majority
Of the profession for years. It's grown
with the greatest ease, and yields most
profusely It is rich, succulent and
consequently just the thing for cows at
the time when pastures begin TO fail in
the fall 1t may be sown either broada
cast or in drills The common varieties
are usually sown, hut at the Belyidere
Convention sweet corn was very highly
spoken Of There is no doubt it yields
the richest food The next best is pro-
badly some variety Of the flint corn Cut
and well cured before frost, there is no
better winter fodder, and there Is no.
thing that can be produced more profta-
bly,. All kinds Of stock will eat it with
avidity. Sow from two to three bushels
Of corn per acre, if broadcast, and cover
with the cultivator

Gentleman as standing at the head of the
Agricultural press Of the country"
The Scottish Farmer calls the Country Cen
tleman T" the best of all the American newspa-
pers devoted TO matters ofrural economy"
The Gardeners Monthly says that the COun-
try Gentleman is conducted with a degree of
talent equal to any European journal, and supe-
riOr to most Of them"
The Canada Farmers Advocate SAYS. We
are in receipt of agricultural publications from
all parts of the world. but for truthful accounts
well written, practical articles, and general
m management of the paper, we have seen none at

Planting Potatoes.

DR. Hexamer states that in his eKper-
iments with the potato, if one is cut in
pieces, so that some of them have no
eyes, one out of five Of these eyeless
pieces viii sprout From several years
experiments with a view to solve the
question Of the best mode of planting po-
tatoes, the best results were obtained by
putting one large whole potato in hill ,
the next best yield was from putting two
large half potatoes cut lengthwise the
next from the seed end of large potato
the next from a large half potato cut
lengthwise, and nearly the same result
when the large potato had its seed end
cut Oft The lowest yield was from half
of a small potato; one piece with an eye
did a little better lie finds the greater
the yield the larger the amount IN pros
portion Of the large potatoes; and he Is
satisfied that the size of the pieces is not
the most important part in planting but
he uses no small potatoes for seed. A
medium sized potato he plants whole, cuts
large ones in two pieces and the largest
in foIr pieces, always taking care TO Sc
lect sound and well developed potatoes
On the other hand, Mr. Butler, Of
Franklin county, Ohio, an extensive po>
tato grower says he prefers cutting seed
potatoes to a single eye thinking the crop
better He thinks eight bushels Of or
binary sized potatoes will furnish eyes
enough to plant an acre, while it will take
forty bushels Of large potatoes, planted
whole Flowing the ground, cutting the
seed and planting costs him $40 per acre.

Sweeuv An HOrses

The editor Of the Maine Farmer having
been asked what kind Of disease
sweeny is, quotes in response from THE
Horse and his Diseases, by Jennings, as
follows "The symptoms which accomN
pany its supposed existence are but sym
pathetic effects or atrophy of the muscles
Of the shoulder The attention Of the
horse owner is directed to a wasting
away or lessening Of these muscles,
which from want Of action, naturally
become smaller OF contracted Cases
called sweeny are invariably the result Of
injury in some remote parts, as the knee
or foot When the animal picks mp the
foot clear from the ground it may be de-
pended upon that the injury is not in the
shoulder; II, however, the leg draLs with
the toe on the ground, it may be looked
for in that locality" The american
Stock Journal suggests n remedy as fols
lows: Alcohol J gill; hartshorn, gill;
sweet oil, ! gill oil organum, ! gill oil
Of NORWOOD, ! Of an ounce. A lini-
ment thus compounded and properly APP
piled, it is supposed, will in most cases
work a cure.

AIsiIlnCInrer

A correspondent Of the WssterR Rural
says Alsike clover succeeds best on clay,
moist soil Il viii thrive on soils that
are too moist for red clOver-even on
low land that Is under water for a few
days each year The plant is q perep-
NAL and does not reach its full growth
till the third year after sowing. One
crop only is taken each season, which
gives not only an abundance Of seed,
but good hay FOR sheep, horses and cattle.
The stalk is quite green, the same as
white clover, when the seed is ripe The
one crop Of Alsike is regarded of more
value than the two crops usually secured
from the common red clover One thing
is certain, we are saved the expense Of
cutting and taking care Of a second
crop, and are sure Of our seed from the
first crop. After the first crop Of Alsike
is taken Of, fine growth Of fall pastur-
age may be confidently expected
Aprl ls SAID 20 be the best time Tor
sowing the seed, but it is perhaps not too
late to sow yet, If the seed could be pros
cured. Four pounds Of seed will be
enough for an acre. The growth the
first season is very small, and it is, there
fore, not advisable to pasture il much.
Sheep especially should not be allowed
to feed upon it. 1t is a good plan to
pasture Alsike with horses or cattle in
the spring Of the year, say till the middle
of May or first Of June, as the growth for
seed will not be so large nor be 80 liable
to lodge. Mr. Calvin Chamberlain COM
municates to the Main Board Of Agricul-
ture his experience with the Alsike clover
as follows
