Corn FODDER. AT the last exhibition
Of the Essex County Agricultural Society,
it was the unanimous opinion of the com
mittee on the dairy that green corn fodder
is the best article that can be used for cows
giving milk. One Of them had tried an ex-
pertinent, which he stated as follows: Four
cows were selected from his herd when the
pastures were parchcG with excessive
dro0gnt. Two of them were fed, night and
morning, with green corn stalks, as much
as they would eat. The other two were
fed with English hay Of medium quality, us
mach as they would cat, all going in th"
same pasture during the day. Their milk
was carefully measured After about two
weeks their feed was changed those that
had been itu on COZ" were fed with hay,
and those that had b, IN fed on hay were
fed with corn, for about two weeks longer,
and the milk carefully measured The re-
suit was nearly tie same. There was no
perccptble difference in the quantity of
milk produced when fed On green corn fod-
der or English hay.

REMEDY FOR THE Cut WORM. After
the corn is dropped aud and covered, and
before it is up, apply on the surface of each
hill about one tablespoonful Of ground salt.
Unless it is carOolic acid, nothing makes
worms of all kinds siuirnl like salt. II is
sometimes applied broadcast, at the rate OF
& to ~ bushels per acre, which is also au
excellent application jlst before the last
narrowing. In old gardens, such as have
been heavily manured and cropped year
after year, for n long period, snails and
grubs often abound, and, as commonly de-
scribed, the soil seems to have become ma.
nurc sick. Vegetables do not grow as they
used to do. Here also dressing ot salt
will be found beneficial, as a restorative
and also worm destroyer, The valve OF
salt as a fertilizer has probably been over
looked.

ONE MORE CURE.-A German forest
keeper, eghty.two years old, not wishing

Journal a recipe he has nsed for fifty years
and which, tie says, has saved several men
and great number Of animals from n hor-
rib!e death by hydrophOb:a. The bite
must lc bathcd as soon as possible with
warm vinegar and water, and when this

Bonds- Important Decision

The decision Of the Court OF Appeals
of Virginia, as to the recekability Of
the coupons from the "Consol" bonds.
has been awaited with much interest
by the many holders Of the bonds. A
dispatch, in another column, gives to
the bondholders the agreeable informa-
ton that the highest legal tribunal OF
the State has affirmed the decision Of
Judge Wexford, that the act Of the
Legislature repeating that feature Of
the bon Ia WAS unconstitutional, and
that the coupons must be received "for
all taxes and demands due the State"
We welcome this decision, IS it reas'
sures those who had begun to lose faith
in the State, and proves that the Judici-
ary, at least, are uncontamlnated by the
demagogueism which has. made, a VIZ
,ual reputation the rallying cry Tor
place and power II this decision is
allowed to have its proper course, the
faith ard credit of the State will be
greatly improved, and it will be worth
untold millions" TO her, in the conf
deuce with which capital will again
seek her shores and aid in the develop
ment OF those resources which need
that, and only that. to make her again

THE IEGISLATURE.

All over the State there is murmnr
inc AGAINST the Legislature for its waste
OF time and money and its failure to 20
the work il was assembled to perform.
The Legislature has, today, been hVe
weeks in session; lacking but little more
than one week OF the full term OF Leg
islative session heretofore and hereafter;
and vet nothing OF much general i'm
portance has been done. A long time
VAS spent ia organization; there was
long aud prohtless wrang'e about
rulesthe committees were not appointed
until the patience OF the people was
we'll nigh exhausted; adiournments for
two DAYS at time have been unusually
frequent; and it looks, generally, to
people at this distance from the CapItal
as il the Legislature was idling away
the time and preparing 10 protract the
session during six months or more.
1t is possible that the agitation for
temporary removal Of the State Capital
NAV have something to do with the
hardness which is the subj ct OF CON-
plant, but assuredly the Capital ques-
ton need not aud ought not to over
shadow all other topics and cause all
other legislation to stand still. There
are many other things to be done which
are scarcely inferior in importance to
the removal OF the Capital, but the
LEGISLATURE seems utterly unable to
consider anything else while this Is
pending in either house. There can be
no good reason for this neglect OF the
public business. There is much more
expected of the present Legislature
than it has vet done, and it may be well
for the members to know that In all
onarters are being uttered complaints
both loud and deep.
After providing the legislation that Is
absolutely necessary to be had before
the lst o. January, it would be we'll to
APPOINT a commission OF competent
men TO prepare the bills that may be
ueededt to bring the Cole into conformity
with the new Constitution and then let
the Legislature take a recess until
about the lat Of NJ .rch. Upon reas-
sembling, it could, in a very short
time, pass the bills prepared by the
committee and thus finish up It's work.
In this way a very great saving OF
money may be eff cted and it is not
improbable that the work would be
better done. At all events, the people
of the State are dissatisfied with the
present slow rate OF progress and insist
upon either greater diligence on the
part Of the Legislature or else the adop-
ton OF some snch exp.dient as that sug-
gested above:
