Corn FOR SUMMER FooD.-Notwi

Corn FOR SUMMER FooD.-Notwith-
standing DR.. Loring's assertion that
green corn is the cheapest and poorest
of all kinds of dairy food, we would
encourage our readers to plant at least
one acre for every twenty cows. Last
season we were able by liberal supply
of this feed, to keep our supply of milk
and butter undiminished even during
the short pasture caused by the long
continued dry weather. If sown broad
cast so thickly as to exclude all air and
light, we will agree with DR.. Loring
that it is the poorest of all provender,
but if drilled in rows, about three feet
apart, with grain every two inches,
we do not know of any cheaper or bet
ter green food. Many who try the
experiment for the first time, even under
tbs favorable conditions which we have
mentioned, make mistake in the time
of feeding. Repeated experiments have
convinced us that if fed before it comes
out in tassel, it will not be SO well eaten
nor do so much good as if fed later; it
should reach its full growth and may
then be fed with the assurance that it
will do good to any class of farm stock.
Our experience is decidedly in favor OF
drilling in the grain in rows 50 as to
admit of the use of the hoe harrow,
and also allow free access to light and
air.-JOURNAL OF THE FARM.

GRArEvINEs-Of course your grape
vines have been pruned and tied to the
stakes or trellises.-Now work about
them, and throw coal ashes around
them, two or three inches deep for a
couple of feet on each side of vine,
Our intelligent correspondent. WIcoMu-
co, in our April numbeT gave her ex-
perience as to their use and effect on
plum trees, which recalled to our rec
election the fact that two years ago we
hired an old German, who had been
raised among vineyards of the Rhine,
to trim our grapevines, and he advised
us to use deep mulch of coal ashes.
We never had such success before with
grapes, and he predicted it, because he
had tried it for several years at differ
ent places where he had been employed
to trim the vines. The ashes keep
down grass, preserve moisture, are
probably fertilizing, and may be often
sive to insects. The result of their APP
plication to our grapes was certainly
very satisfactory, for where they were
not applied, the grapes where compar-
alive failure.

This summer my horses got

had no appetite, no digestion, and no
strength and spirit They came home
at noon and night tagged out, and
their nights rest did not refresh them.
| sawed a barrel in two, and placed the
ends on the platform of the pump.
These are for watering the horses.
Into one of them we put pailtul OF
corn-meal and mixed it with the water.
The horses at first did not like it, and
would only drink little when very
thirsty. After they had drunk what
they would they were allowed pure
water. In a very few days, however,
they drank this corn-meal soup with a
relish, and in less than a week there
was a decided change for the better in
the appearance of all the horses. We
do not let them cat the meal, but mere
" let them drink the milky water. /
have no doubt it is as good for them as
plate of good soup is for tired and
hungry man before dinner. 1t seems
to stimulate the appetite and aid
digestion.
1t is capital thing for cows as well
as horses, but it is. not so easy mat
ter to give it to the cows, as they soon
learn to stick their heads in the water
almost up to their horns to get the
meal that settles at the bottom. 1t is

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, Or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf,, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the .Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

SowED Corn FOR WINTER FORAGE

SowED Corn FOR WINTER FORAGE
A writer in the Ohio FARMER says

in the following conclusions: First

and cattle would not fatten fast enough
to suit me. Last wear | sowed in May
about the Goth, three pecks per acre
cultivated twice, and cut and stocked
then cut with the Empire feed cutter,
and fed from one to two bushels per
head, and am receiving gratifying re-
suits from it now.
In sowing early the corn cared well
in fact, a good part would have done to
crib, therefore, having more heart or
substance, and by cutting it from one
to one and half inches long, cattle eat
every part clean. 1t is not as much
work to cut the fodder as it would be
to husk the corn; the stalks are sweet
er and softer than when handled as
they are when it is busked The corn
should, when cured, be piled as close
as possible, and heat, to keep it from
driving too much. One acre fed the
first of this Winter twenty-five head

but enough to feed once day, one
bushel per head, then straw in the

THE DEPTH OF SEED.SOWING.

This is seed-time, and one question
of the season is, cat what depth shall
we sow and plant?" The small grass
and vegetable seeds require only a
slight covering Probably more grass
seeds are lost from being covered too
deeply than from any other cause.
Natures mode of sowing is to drop
the seeds on the surface, and let them
be washed into the earth, or simply
covered with a leaf, and if we could
sow grass-seed just before a shower,
we would not cover it at all. We have
tried sowing small seeds on the surface,
and keeping the ground moist by a
pane of glass or cabbage leaf, and it
has been wonderful to notice how nice
ly and quickly they terminated. TO.
matoes, squashes, beans, onions and
many other plants push the shells of
the seeds out of the ground as they
terminate, and if there is much depth
of earth over them, find it difficult to
work their passage. The depth OF
seed-sowing varies somewhat with the
season. If this is wet, the sowing
must be more shallow. The danger of
rotting increases directly with the depth
of the soil above the seeds. From a
carefully-conducted experiment, it was
ascertained that corn planted at the
depth of an inch, came up in eight and
one-half days planted one and one
half inches, it came up in nine and one
half days; at two inches, in ten days
at two and one-half inches, in eleven
and one-half days; at three inches, in
twelve days at three and and one-half
inches, in thirteen days; at five and
one-half inches, in seventeen and one
half days. At the last depth the plants
were feeble, and, after short struggle
for life, died. TIE depth of seed-sow-
ing must vary also with the nature of
the soil, being more shallow in clay
loom. In general, it may be said that
half an inch is sufficient depth for the
seeds of most garden vegetables. Peas,
however, require covering of three or
four inches, if the soil is mellow, as it
always should be for all kinds of seeds.
