DEAR TIMES "a Farmer writing
in the Orangeburg TIMES wishes tomske
long forage othsr than stripping fodder,
and asks for information in sowing, cut
ting and curing corn. Nothing have
tried win turn out long forage in quanti..
ties to. equaf corn. 7 first break, up my
land, then lay it off with a deep furrow,
four feet between the rows-manure in
that fnrrow well, and drill in. the corn at
the rate of one and o half bushels per
acre-work it with the sweep. When in
tassel, cut and cure it--you can cut it
with hoes or bramble knife. Put two
hands to cutting, and two to follow, gath
ering up the stalks. So soon as the hands
have each an arm full, they come togeth-
er, when by humping the butt ends of
the stalks on the ground, and leaving the
tops together and tieing it at the top, the
stalks will left standing over the field in
large shocks. Three. hands might tie
the stalks they have gathered up to-
gether. The bottom being spsead out
little and the tops brought together and
well tied, there is no danger of their
falling down. 1t may be left in that
way two or three or four weeks in the
field, until thoroughly cured all through,
without danger of spelling from the
weather. When hauled in, you will see
the prettiest cured fodder you ever be-
held. 1t will be best to cut it up to
feed. If the stalks are large the horses
will break the sticks or pub. the racks
down in getting it out.
There is SO much sugar in the stalks
and blades, cured so finely, (for neither
dew nor rain can get to them) that when
put before a horse he will have them,
and the rack must be very strong.to re-
sist the continued Jerking of bundle,
pressed together as theyare in The mouth
of the animal. I have made great
deal of hay but, mostly on BOTTOM land.
Up land must be we'll manured and the
season tolerably wet, to make good grass.
You must not allow hay to get wet; even
one nights dew materially INJURIES it.
Thesbest manner I have foundof curing
is to pile it in large shocks; as.iiigh as
hand can throw it on with d fork; let it
remain o day and then open it to the
sun and wind Whilst the pile it gets
heated and goes through q sweat; after
that it is cured as soon as it dries off,
The time to cut grass is when ii is in
bloom. A hand can cut and cure three
thousand pounds of hay in g day, and if
he pulls and takes in THREE HUNDRED
pounds of FODDER he does q very good
days work.

Mr.. EDITOR:
In your issue of the 29th ult., T en-
deavored to show that our energetic
farmers were making rapid progress in
the field department. of husbandry, and
promised to give you some of my crude
notions on the subject of cattle improve
ment. That there is room for improve
rnent no one will deny, and every enter
prising farmer who has any pride in his
farm and its surroundings, must be de-
sirous of doing something in that direc-
tion, if he could see how it could be done
at ~ reasonable cost. IT'S true that we
have an abundance of cattle, such rs
tley are, but al least fifty OF: sixty per
cent. Of them, are very Inferior, unprofta-
BE for milk, butter or beef, and aRdis-s
grace to good farming costing as much
TO keep as the very best kind.
Il is the experience and practice of
many of the best farmers and dairymans
Of New York and Pennsylvania that.
mixers raised from native cattle, sired.
by PURE BRED bulls, make the best and
most profitable stock for all farming pnr-
poses. Now if this is SO (and there is no
reason to doubt IT'D then we have abund-
ant.material to improve on.
Scattered all over our County we have
native grades of the Devon, Ayrshire.
jersey, Durham and Brahmin, besides
many of our common breeds, having
good milking and beef qualities.
Ve We want, then, PURE FLOODED bulls.
Have we them in our country and if SO,
how are we to know it, and how are we.
TO utilize them? 1 would suggest to
those who have them, or grade cows or
heifers, or good common breeds, to pre-
pare the best they have. This must be
done by extra feeding, haltering and
handling them, SO as to make them do
cile and manageable. Thus prepared,
let them be exhibited at our County Fair
to be held in October next, when every
convenience will be Afforded for their
shelter and protection. We will then
see what we have, and what we really
want, and perhaps we can select and
purchase such as we may need for breed
ing purposes and, in addition, will have
an exhibition of cattle that will surprise
lis and do credit to the County, and be
the means of stimulating our farmers to
go ahead and strive to excel.
/ would further suggest that the Or
angeburg Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, as soon as they can make
the necessary arrangements on their Fair
Ground, purchased No. 1, pure blooded
Bull, of the kind that best suits our eli
mate and section of country, to be kept
on their grounds, and reasonable charge
made for all animals put to him. 1t
would pay them, benefit the farming in
terestt, and would be carrying out one Of
their avowed objects-the keeping of
pure blooded stock animals on the farm.

knowing, then, how pruning weakens,
We apply the knowledge to hedge cul-
ture. We want to weaken it after it
has been made into perfect hedge, but
not before. For few years we desire
to give it ell the vigor possible. This
is obtained by letting it entirely alone.
In this way the roots become very
strong after growth of four or five
years. Then in the winter, or in the
spring before the leaves have pushed,
we saw or chop it off close to the
ground. The result is mass of
strong, vigorous growth, which sur
prises every one. 1t can be moved
into shape with a scythe the next sum-
mer, and perfect hedge is made at
small cost.

The Treatment Young Hedges.

OF late years a discovery has been
made in the treatment of young hedges,
of supreme Importance. 1t was the
universal advice, and the general prac-
tice, to cut the plants to the ground at
planting, and this part is still right.
But the practice went further. The
following summer the growth was cut
back to make the shoots sprout, and
perhaps the succeeding winter they
were cut again, and next summer and
winter, and so on but this we know is
all wrong. Not only is it wrong so far
as the making of good stout hedges is
concerned, but it took a good deal Of
money and labor TO attend to it and
il was very natural for the farmer TO
say that labor was his great bugaboo,
and if he was to be continually bothered
in this way he would rather pay double
for lumber fence, and be done with it.
Many who kept to the faith in con-
slant trimming in the hedges youthful
period, found to their sorrow that with
all their labor there would be holes
which would admit dogs, and in time
larger animals and only those who
had knowledge and skill enough, and
time enough to boot, to look well after
their hedges, kept on with this way of
making them.
The FLASHING system followed this.
In this way the plants were allowed to
grow straight up for three or four
years after planting, and then each one
cut half through near the ground and
bent over. This presented a series of
horizontal stems along the hedge line,
and made Il successful barrier against
intruders. Only half cut they live,
although making of course a weakened
growth and from below the cut lot
of sprouts came up, which help to
thicken the whole mass. But although
this way is much superior TO the old.
fashioned plan in this, that Nc involves
no labor for the first two or three years.
the FLASHING itself is laborious pro.
cess, and, moreover, the result does
not always prove perfect hedge.
The new plan was foreshadowed in
speech by the agricultural editor of the
Press at Harrisburg some six years ago,
and Of which an abstract IS given in
Pennsylvania Fruit Growers Society's
report. 1t was there shown that the
idea that pruning strengthened tree
was wrong. The branches seem TO
grow more vigorously after pruning,
il is true, but few years of this treat.
ment shows the true state Of affairs.
A dozen willows left to grow unpruned
will make trunks of enormous size, and
probably last fifty years, while the same
willow annually cut down for basket
making purposes, die out IN twenty
five, and hardly ever make trunk

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
The Origin OF the Honey Bee

The original home of the bee was no
doubt tropical. 1t, as well as man and
all animal life, was placed where the
climate and all of the surroundings
were favorable; but we will have to
suppose that the first female bee had
capacities that she had not now; that
she could build the comb cells in which
she deposited her first eggs. This was
not impossible, for have we not the
same thing repeated every year, by the
solitary female of the Humble bee,
(Bumbus) and by the Hornet (Vespa)
and by number of other species OF
hymenopterous insects
The female Humble bee collects the
pollen and honey, and constructs the
cells for the occupancy of her first
brood in the spring. After the first
brood, composed of workers, comes
out, she ceases to provide for any more
brood, as the young bees do it, and
confines herself to the laying of eggs as
does the queen of the honey bees.
We may reasonably suppose that the
primitive honey bees did not inhabit
cavities, or hives, as in the tropics they
are not necessary to their existence.
Some of the existing varieties in the
Malayan Islands, as Apis testdced,
which is found in the Island of Borneo,
build their comb on the under side of
the limbs of lofty trees, with no other
protection than the crust of bees that
surround it, and it is not rare for our
domestic bee Apis neelifcd to do the
same thing, while it is the regular habit
of several species of MelipOna.
A colony of bees is perfect without
any hive. In a natural cluster it is The
office of part of the bees, (the oldest)
to form a crust around the comb struc-
ture habit they persist in although
they are placed in tight hive as
by no other means could they maintain
the uniform, equable temperature and
state OF dryness necessary to the well
being of the eggs and larva. They
recognize no territory as in their
possession, that is outside of the clus-
ter.
1t is not likely that the first bees
either stored honey, or lived in large
communities, as they do now, for there
was no necessity for it. The storing
instinct came when they had multi
piled and spread out of these natural
habitats, when climate compelled them
to resort to the protection of hollow
trees, and they no longer had the con.
tinuous honey harvest OF their native
Eden.
Up to this time it is likely that all
the females were perfect, and that they
had the capacity for both ovipositing
and working. The worker bee could
easily be the result of conditions that
imposed greater labor upon them and
and developed other organs at the ex-
pense of those of generation.-D. Il.

work of cells, called cellular tissue,
and an abundance of these cells is
coupled with tendency to form fat
wberewith to fill them. When a COW
is in milk, the fat formed is carried
away in the milk, making it rich.
Hence when this tissue abounds, rich
milk may be expected. When dry, the
COW having it fattens rapidly. The
supply of cellular tissue may be known
by feeling the skin. When it is plen-
tiful, it forms a sort of cushion under
the skin, giving it soft and mellow
feeling. When it is wanting the skin
feels hard, and the hand when resting
on the animal, feels very much as II

DESTRUCTION IN DISGUISE. is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and

medicines. They are potent to destroy!
and may be safely warranted to ruin,

More drunkards have been made by
these villainous connections, labeled
medicines, than by the liquors of com

as remedies, are more mischieyous

A Cholera Speciflc.

Velpau's specific against cholera
might usefully be brought to public
notice at the present time. He said in
the Academy of Sciences, when the
cholera last visited us GAS soon as
the slightest diarrhoea appears, take six
drops OF laudanum on lump of sugar,
and continue to take six drops OF laud-
anum on lump of sugar after success
sive objections indicate the diarrhoea TO
be still unchecked. At the same time
take injections of starch, into which
six drops of laudanum have been
poured. This was used with great sue.

cholera here. Sir Joseph Olliffe and
DIR. j. Marion Sims used chlorodyne
