EiAe + Odder Crop.
From the Banner of the South & Planters
journal.

lFrom the Banner of the South & Planters
journal.
We renew at this tire the suggestion
made last year i'll regard to securing an
abundant crop Of fodder, by making it IA
separate crop, and cultivating a few acres
of fodder, corn, sown thickly in drills.
To depend on the yield Of blade fodder
after laying by,is to be short Of fodder,
aud to iujure the corn quite to the extent
OF the value Of the fodder We presented
several carefully made experiments on
this point last year, all made with a view
to determined whether the weight and
quality OF the corn was affected by strip
ping the blades at the usual stage. Each
test presented the same evidence that
there was less corn made in every instance
on rows from which the blades were strip
ped, and that the corn was lighter in
weight, and the loss fully equal to the
value OF the forage that was saved. To
save the blades fodder, is only to give up.
or lose, an equal value in corn, with no
account taken of the labor of fodder-puI-
ling, saving, and risks Of total losses by
weather at the time Corn that is sown
for fodder may be sown broadcast, or in
drills two and half to three bushels per
acre, and plowed in. We prefer the drill
system, from actual and frequent trial
drills eighteen inches to two feet apart.
Let If stand very thick in the drills. 50
that the stalks will remain small. When
two fest high, run two or three rooter
burrows between the rows which will give
it a quick an good growth. No further
culture is needed.
Cut and cnre it when the field is in full
tassel and bloom, for Just at that time all
the juices Of the stalk are in their richest
state, and viii cure into sweet forage
Let them wilt few hours IN the sun. then
tie in small bundles and shock up like grain
in open order for free circulation of air.
1t requires some time TO cure thoroughly,
especially it the stalks are gross; but it
viii stand weather very wei if properly
shocked. Ii viii cure best when il can
be put in lofts or under shelter, SO as to
have no rain on it whatever. But this re-
qures more room than most persons have
to give it.
A crop in April comes off early in Au-
gust or sooner, and in good time for
second sowing on the same ground, if a
seasonahle rain should put the ground in
good condition. Six thousand pounds
per acre at each cutting is a good yield,
on good land. We have saved that much
several times-that IS to say twelve thou
sand pounds per acre each year.
The cost OF fodder in this way Is very
little, and the quality OF it excellent.
Working animals eat it with avidity, and
if freely fed on it, Will easily keep up on
half the usual feed of ear corn.
A trial of one or two acres this year,
will satisfy any one that this plan for
fodder Is good and cheap one

The seot.i.h H.anI3. for Farmers.


From an old copy, Of the Augusta,
Ga, Constitutionalist
The Scottish banks 70 which We refer
are organised for the benefit of farmers,
and, by novel and judiciousmanagement,
have created a revolution in the wealth
Of Scotland. Many of our farmers, de-
sirous of making crop, are cramped
for cash at critical moments and averse
to submitting to anerous rates OF dis
count, even when accommodation is
granted by those who control our ma
tional institutions. Very frequently
there is a difficulty of renewal as we are
now situated, or renewal is, at best, I'M
certain and depressing. Unlike mer-
chant or sbeculater the farmer frequen-
ly requires years of time, or more, before
he can realize on his crops. Suppose
we had such a bank in Augusta. A
planter might then state in round num-
bers what he desired in the course of the
security for double the amount Funds
may be needed in January, perhaps not
before July or November. He could
draw it in cash, pay laborer, liquidate
for mules, taxes, or whatever else by a
check The check would bear interest
on the amount of its face aud from the
date cashed at the bank. He therefore
does not pay interest on one cent more
than he requires, or tor one day more
than he uses it; and should a creditor,
thus paid, carry the check for a month,
or transfer to another, interest would
still be saved. At the end of the year,
the bond if recalled, upon taking up
checks with the interest accruing. One,
two, or more per cent could be paid over
the present lawful rate of interest for
such accommodation. Any money re-
allied from sales would be deposited in
this bank and interest on checks drawn
stops at the time and is in proportion to
the amount deposited. With the priv
ilege of high interest, in lieu of discount,
such bank would be highly profitable
to its stockholders.
