Corn Grown as Fodder.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
has 9 paragraph in relation to q matter
witch should interest farmers: .''I
Few of, our farmers know the value
Of corn grown as fodder. One Of our
farrnersltells us that during the war
when provendor of all sorts became
scarce, being SHORT he resorted to- the
eXpedient of sowing thickly broadcast
a field of between four and five acres
in corn, which lie cut ana used as fod-
der. Sowing about the 10th of April,
he was able to realize two crops. cured
and fit for use before corn came in. and
that his stock. tlirived and did well up
on 1t, when he had nothing else to rive
them. Well cured sweet corn fodder
is one Of the best feeds for milch coWs
that can be given them. The. stalk, as
well as'the blade is eaten with avidity,
and is preferred,las any one may real
ize who will make the test, for the
simple reason that it contains more sac
charine matter than other forage
When fed as cut. green, it is excellent
food for niilch cows. and will produce
more. and richer. milkJand sweeter but
ter than any other green food, When
cut with the cutting knife, and soaked
iii boiling water, mixed with n small
quantity of pea meal, it makes the best
winter food that can be given cow.
Small farmers will find corn, sown as
fodder, to be the most profitable crop,
so far as domestic comfort and economy
goes, that can be raised. Let farmer
once try a corniodder patch and he will
apever be without it.oi!aYrHup aGags

A Pertinent Enquiry.

We invite the attention of Tax Col
lectors and others to the following:
The undersigned would most respect
fully ask if the Legislature did not, Just
before it adjourned, repeal section IL of
the revenue law, passed 18th of March,
1868? If so, why is it that the State
and County Tax Collectors still continue
to collect the 10 per cent. penalty inn
posed by that section? Please invcsti-
gate this matter, and Jet the people
know the facts in the case.

1t was Caleb Cushing who referred
members Of Congress to the law OF

the existence of the law, caused great

A great fuss is being made over the
fact that q Pacific Railroad train has
been blocked up for seven or eight
days in snow-bank. The same thing
happens every winter on some of the
Northern and Northwestern roads. The
difficulty on the Pacific road appears to
have been that the employees were too
lazy to shovel their way out.
