Corn for Fodder.

A North Carolina correspondent
OF the Country Gentleman inquiries
how late can corn be planted fol-
fodder, which is the best mode OF
planting, when must it be cut, and
will it pay to raise when hay can be
purchased at fifty cents per hun
dred pounds2 The coantrg Gen.
fieasdf replies: cat the North, corn
may be ~soBh for fodder at any
time, from the usual corn planting
season until the middle or end of
June, the only Requirements being
to allow time for the fodder to
mature sufficiently, WHICH u Usually
indicated BY the edges ofthe leaves
beginning to become dry. Northern
corn might doubtless be sown in
North Carolina as late as August,
but the larger Southern sorts, which
growlonger, should be so wn earlier.
Ii the soil is dry, it must be planted
deeper. Wehave been in the practice
of sowing it for fodder for more
than twenty years, and find no mode
better than to pillow and harrow the
ground, furrow it out three feet
apart, strew the corn along the fur
rows by hand from a basket, at the
rate of three bushels per acre, and
harrow it in. 1t is afterwards cul-
ivated two or three times by horse.
Cut with a scythe or corn-cutter,
bind, and set up in large even
shocks, and allow it either to re-
main till wanted, or else stack in
small stacks, with three rails set |
upright in the middle, half foot |
or more apart, to make chimney !
Tor the escape Of hot air of fer
mentation. Stacked in the com
mon way, it will heat and spoil. II
is one of the best substitutes for
hay, and is much cheaper than hay |
at $40 per ton.

CabbREes as "a Field crop for Dairy
Stack

STOCK.
Among the useful plants for the
rfall feeding of milk stock, the cab
mage holds an important place. 1t
is not appreciated as it should be by
the dairy farmer. 1t is nutritious,
easily cultivated, yields a large
amount of food upon an acre, and
it is ready for use at any time when
grasses and other succulent plants
begin to fail.
When grasses are touched with
frosts in the fall, they lose much of
their nutritive element, and unless
COWS can be supplied with additional
FOOD, they fall off rapidly in their
milk. 1t is just at this season that
the cabbage has matured and comes
IN to supply the gap between 'frost.
bitten grass" and hay. The dairy
farmer will find, if he can keep up
4 good flow of milk from his COWS
during October and November and
the early part Of December, quite
an item will be added to his profits
beyond what they would be if the
milk is allowed 70 fall of, as il
surely must il tho stock get moth
ing but "frost-bItten grass" and
coarse fodder. But ration of cab
bage morning and evening after
milking, will not only keep the
quantity of milk good, but its quail.

FARM AND GARDEN.


One Of our exchanges gives thiI
remedy Soak wild garlic and
put in troughs for them to drink
also give them alum mixed in corn
meal. The first symptoms of the
disease are manifested in sort OF
greenish laxitiveness, and a droop-
ing. or sluggishness, indicative Of
trouble. Some administer alum
water, with a few drops of camphor /;
also alum-water and charcoal mixed,
and in some instances q few grains
of calomel with a little hogs lard.
When opened after death the liver
is found greatly enlarged-more
than three times the usual size.
Separation of the healthy from the
unhealthy, is advisable"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-05-21

Mich cows are extremely fond
of cabbages, and they are a milk,
producing food. We have grown
them for our own dairy feeding in
the fall, as above indicated, and
always with o considerable profit
above the cost of cultivation. We
have kept cabbage for winter use
with good success by taking off the
outer leaves and packing in large
casks, with layers of damp straw,
placing the casks, when filed in o
cool cellar. They may be kept for
some time by placing them on the
floor of a cool, damp cellar, and
turning them occasionally.
The are several varieties adopted
to field culture; among which the
Drumheads have always been popu-
lar. When o portion of the crop is
to be marketed, the Winningstadt
is q most excellent variety. 1t is
sugar loaf in form, tender and fine
favored. The Stone Mason Mar
blehead is large, solid, tender and
heads freely. The Marblehead
Mammoth is an excellent variety,
and upon good soil will grow to an
enormous size. Robinson's Cham
pion is represented as the largest
cabbage grown, oven larger than
the Marblehead Mammoth, and
sometimes weighing sixty pounds,
but we have no experience with this
variety. 1t pays well to grow cab
bages for stock feeding at the East,
but at the West, where the soil is
of easy culture, where grasses are
not 80 luxuriant, and feed becomes
dry and parched during the latter
par. of the season, it would seem
that the cabbage crop could be
turned to good account for dairy
stock. ..f )
Without attempting to give
suggestions as to the special man
agement of this crop, We may in
brief refer to some of the leading
points to be observed for success.
Whatever varieties are selected, it
is important that the plants be
raised from good seed-seed that
will give healthy plants; then
rich soil, deeply cultivated with an
abundance of well rotted manures,
and finally, thorough culture and
keeping down weeds, will comprise
the main features for good crop.

Rarlv Cut Hnv

A farmer in Starkyille, N. Y,
gives his experience in regard to the
early cutting of hay. During the
past season he raised eight acres
of clover. 1t was a catching"
time, or raining during the whole
haying season. He says;
The clover was cut in the morn
ing, after the dew was ofr, and per-
mitted to wilt, the most of it-that
in the heaviest places less so, and
that cut last little or nothing at all.
1t was then (half afternoon) raked
alii put in cocks. The next day, a
few hours before drawing, it was
spread apart. Part of the hay re-
manned in cocks another day, owing
to the rain. The clover was cut
when just in blossom, none of the
heads brswp, and many undevelop-
ed. There were sixteen tons ofhay,
all in a Bulk in the bay. A few days
after it was secured it commenced
sweating-the fork lying on top
showing moisture. There was, how
ever, no preceptible steam. The
hay has just been fed out. 1t res
tanned much Of its green color, and
the blossom itself showed the YER
million. 1t was pliable, tough
somewhat, but fragrant, and the
most easily devoured of any hay /
have ever seen fed. 1t was eaten
up clean every time by both horses
and COWS. Calves thrived upon it.
The NOV affords the best oftimothy
that | ever saw harvested This,
made in the flower state, was re-
fused by both horses and cattle
when clover was in reach. This
thing has been thoroughly tested.
The celebrated horse feed, timothy,
was refused, and always, when
clover-the clover described above
was offered. The milk was always
increased when clover was fed.
Nothing else was given, either to
horses or cattle, ana both thrived.
The horses worked without gram,
and did well The excrements were
the summer excrements, in color
and consistence. Good health and
q sleek coat were the results, among
others of this kind of feed. A hand
full OF salt was given once week,
and uniformly (while the clover

could cure it, and would warrant cure if she
would take his medicine home with her, and
give it to the child according to his directions;
which she agreed tc do. In three months from
that time she wrote to me. stating that the
child was entirely well. There was not sore
about it, its sight was restored and il could run
about as smart as any child of its age. 1his
cure was performed over nine years ago. know
