Letter from Washington.
lFRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON. d. c., Oct. 81, 1871.
THE CONGRESSIONAL sEAsoN-wnAT Is Ex-
PEcTED.
Socially, Washington promises to be re-
markaby gay. believe that this is almost
always the case with the winter Immediately
preceding a presidential campaign. But be-
sides this tendency, the growth Of the federal
city, as pleasant winner resort, has been so re-
marka5le since the war closed, that it becomes
more and more frcqucnted by holiday visitors
and persons of means. hear of great many
persons who will remain all through the win
ter, among them several foreigners of dis
ton.
There is another reason for the gayetv expect
ed during the next four or five months. and
thatis the fact that 50 many of our public men
have become bJuscholdeIs here. The rise of
prop1rtN, owing TO the influx Of capital and the
continual Improvements, have induced MANY of
the shrewder senators and representatives, who
were reasonably sure of their seats, to invest
here. This in part accounts for another fact.
which is becoming SO frequent as to be note
worthy. / mean the number Of eX-congressmen
ness, professional or otherwise. That reminds
me that have often thought it would be worth
while to examine into the curious varieties of
legal business that flourish hereabonts. But
meant more especially to note that public men
were becoming residents here, and the large
population that was left after the war, either by
necessity or choice, and who have since vcge-
tatcd at hotels and boarding houses, are now
settling down to home life, buying or renting
dwellings, and beginning to live in
some other fashion than that of
carayanserai. Washington had a pecu-
liar life Of It's own before the war Duriug

The department of agriculture has just issued
a statement, presenting long line OF testimony
from various sources on the value of fodder corn
as Il supplementary feed or sOling crop for milch
cows in summer. We present below the conclu-
sons deduced from the testimony given;
1. Green corn fodder is neither worthless nor
the poorest of all soiling material.
,, II is the best when planted in drills or hills,
not so thickly rs to prevent normal growth and
Development cultivated to destroy weeds and
grasses, and cut between tasselling and caring,
when the elements elaborated for produc ton
of the ear are stored in readiness for immediate
use.
3. 1t is probable, both from the rationale of
the case and from facts presented above, that in
the most northern attitudes a mistake has often
been made in sowing thckly southern corn
which canaOt mature, the fodder from which,
fed in August, must be very nearly worthless
On the contrary, the fodder from northern corn,
especially sweet corn, drilled and cultivated,
and fed just before caring, is found to be very
valuable
4. Its value, compared with lucerne, millet,
the best grasses, and other plants containing
larger percentage of nutriment, taking into con-
sideraiOn the quantity produced and the cost OF
its production, has not been determined fully,
and should be decided by a series of thorough
and exhaustive experiments.
It is evident from all that is conflicting in the
opinion of different feeders, that the differences
are mainly due to the degree of maturity Or
soundness of the corn. That from thick sowing
immature, coloress and watery, is unfit to
place before the cows of any well regulated
dairy 1t is probable that half that is fed Is
Improperly cultivated or in a state of growth
not productive of the highest results. If this
should be the case, how stupid to condemn the
maize for the ignorance of the cultvator. If it
is found to contain too little nutriment for its
bulk, or too small an amount of the aesh-iorm-
ing element, the suggestion found in the prac-
tice Of some, of giving small amount of more
highly concentrated nutriment in connection
with corn fodder is eminently wise. This is
deficiency easily remedied. While corn is our
national crop, less fasiidious in the circum-
stances of its growth than almost any other,
and capable of yielding so largely under the
proverbal neglect which characterizes our cul-
ture, LET not this fodder be discarded until some
thing of greater practical value is found, the
superiority of whic h has been actually demon
strated under the local circumstances of soil,
climate and cultivation.

Potato Rot IN GREAT BRITAIN.-The
London Field of Oct, 14th, says:
We are sorry to confirm the uufavOrabe re.
ports as TO the potato disease. The crop, as
rule, is not heavy; the sets, though numerous,
are SMALL and fully half the crop is diseas ed.
On the best land the loss will be the greatest;
so much so, that in some localities noted for the
abundance and excellence of their usual :oduce
whole fields are being ploughed down as worth
less An important question arises as to how
best to utilise the diseased potatoes; they must
he used at once, otherwise decay will soon pro-
duce corruption. The first effect of the disease
is the production Of sugar from a portion OF the
starch; hence the stock eat the potatoes readily,
not only without any i'll effects, but with great
advantage; and cattle on grass have been made
fat with plentiful supply. No preparation is
necessary. The potatoes are distributed out Of a
cart, and as soon as the animals get accustomed
to the taste they eat them greedily. This year
the pastures are so full of meat that such extra
food is less wanted still it is a means of getting
rid of them. Those who have the opportunity
might boil or steam the potatoes, and mash
them down in air tight bins, wigl salt; possibly
they might be stored under the soil in pit, but
the air must be excluded and salt used freely.
Pigs, calves, and indeed ali kinds of stock, not
excluding farm horses, thrive well on potatoes;
the only difficulty is how to get rid OF them
whilst any good remains in them.
