Sow Corn for Fodder.

Hay at two dollars per hundred
pounds Who can stand this expense?
Lei us get rid of it for another year.
How ?. In the absence of permanent
meadow and for this years use by
sowing corn for fodder for cattle and
horses.
Make piece of ground very rich,
either with barn yard manure or
commercial fertilizers. 1t will be of
little use to attempt to sow corn for
fodder on land in ordinary condition.
1t must be madevery rich. Break
it up deeply. Lay off the ground in
rows three feet apart. Sow the corn
in the burrows at the rate of three
bushels per acre. Cover with a fur
row and roll. Keep the ground clean
by one or more workings with the
plow if necessary.
Four tons of good dried fodder
may be expected. On very rich land
a good deal more than that amount.
Allowing one ton to the horse for the
working season, one acre should give
fodder for FIVE horses, or cattle.
We advise this expedieHt for roug IA
ness by all means. With a good cut
ting knife, horses and cattle viii eat
the whole Of the stalks, which should
be cut down and cured as soon as
they are in tassel.
Ten acres in sowed corn ought to
keep we'll fifty head Of horses, mules
and cattle during the winter, allow
ing for the cost es manure. The ex-
pense n is trife compared with that
Of fodder, which is the least remun-
erative product Of the farm.
Those who have never seen corn
sowing for fodder carried to perfec.
tion. and who live within reach Of
Atlanta, should visit Governor ]. E.
Browns 8 corn patch, within the limits
Of the city and adjoining his resi-
dence. From fragment OF an acre
he annually raises fodder enough to
support pair of horses and cow,
usually with a surplus left. The
amount of fodder which he obtains

Yet, to mans eternal shame, the
education Of Wonan is deemed a
trivial matter, scarcely Worth mo-
ment's thought And that, too, when
the purity Of the heart so much de-
pends upon it. But it is in vain that
some enthusiasts argue that the female
is mans equal in mental capacity,
andEthat nothing but the foolish re-
qulrements of society keep her from
the forum, the pulpit and the helm

1t seems that reason alone should
teach a contrary doctrine. There are
tsoO spheres, separate and distinct. One
is mans, the other isWoman's.
One, who is considered most emf
