Because it has been shown by accu-
rate analysis that wheat and other
grains grown IN warm climates and on
rich soils, develop and contain a great
er amount of gluten and other nitro
genous matters than those grown in
cool climates and on soils less rich, I
have assumed that the soil of Illinois,
and the prairies generally, produce a
corn which contains a greater amount
of gluten and other heterogeneous mat
tiers, and a less amount of starch, than
the average corn produced on other
soils; and l have accordingly increased
the quantity of gluten, etc, and de-
creased that of starch, over and above
that given by the average analysis.
The hard wheats of Venezuela and
Southern Russia contain-the first,
55.12 per cent. of starch to 22.75 per
cent. Of gluten, and the second, $3.50
per cent. of starch TO 90 per cent. of
gluten; while the soft white tuseIIe
wheat of France contains. 1881 per
cent. of starch to l1.65 per cent. of
gluten.
"Now, for every pound of dry shelled
corn taken from the acre producing the
100 bushels, there are, according to the
best estimates, two pounds of dry
cobs, husks, leaves, stalks, ETC., ETC., or
$500 pounds-in all 1920 pounds, or
a triAe over "a tons. But the stalks,
husks, cobs, etc., ETC., take up and con-
tain four or five times as much mineral
matter as the grain, and their removal
from the field would really decrease the
richness of the soil to a greater extent
in proportion"
Taking into account the liability of
corn land to leach and wash, all must
see that we rather overdo the corn bus
mess.

FEEDING GROUND FEED.

At late meeting of the Little Falls
Farmers Club (the great dairy center
OF Herkimer county, N. " Mr.. Har-
ris Lewis said that he had fed ground
feed in the earlier years of his dairy
experience, feeding all he had dared to,
and OF different kinds. Buckwheat
produced the greatest flow of milk, at
expense of flesh; corn meal never in
creased quantity or quality of milk;
oat milk increased flow of milk and
flesh of COWS. Wheat shorts is best of
all, but would prefer oats if cost was
not so great. He thought that Mr.. l..
w. Miller, of Chatauqua county, would
fail in his experiment of wintering cows
on three quarts of corn meal each with
out other food. He thinks that it does
not pay to feed meal to ows when they
can get good pasture.
A. A. Willard thought hat when hay
is as high as at present, 1t pays to feed
corn-meal; also when pastures are
short. He also advocated sowing corn
for fodder, which Mr.. Lewis thinks is
almost worthless. Sweet corn is best
for this purpose, in the opinion of sew
eral 81: mbers of the Club. Mr.. Lewis
though high feeding tended to produce

LEACHED ASHES.

After the farmers family have made
soap las is a common practice in a tim
bered country, there remains a hopper
full of leached ashes which have a
higher value as manure than is gener-
ally believed. A writer in the Country
Gentleman tells his readers that he has.
used an average of 1900 bushels yearly,
for the past sever years; at a cost of
% cents per bushel at the railroad sta
tion, about two miles distant. This he
says may seem a high price to many of
your readers. Yet we have found their
use profitable. Ourland is what would
be termed hardwood soil-the higher
portion gravel, the lower clay loan, in
clined to be coarse and lumpy. We
have made and saved all the yard
anu We could, and have taken great
pains to increase u supply. Weplow
and dress literally with this. After
narrowing, apply $50 bushels of ashes
to the acre, working them well into the
soil with the harrow. Then SOW to
grass. Where the land is too high to
SOW grass seed alone, we SOW in spring
with oats, and cut them in the milk for
fodder, which, when well cured, makes
excellent feed, and leaves a good stand
of grass. We get from one and one
half to two tons of hay to the acre,
for seven or eight years The first two
or three or four years, two crops are
cut in a season. There is great good
in the above named practice. In
New England farmers pay fifty cents a
bushel for hard ashes that have not
been dripped.

WHOLE OR cur POTATOES FOR
SEED.

Nearly fifty years ago, Thos. Andrew
Knight, President of the London Hor.
ticultural Society, wrote a very ex-
haustive essay upon the above named
subject, proving conclUsively, to many,
that whole potatoes were far preferable
to pieces of tubers for planting. Mr..
Knight, at that time and for many sue
ceeding years, was considered in Great
Britain, the highest authority in the
world on all agricultural subjects, con
sequently his opinions carried great
weight among the people. His idea
wa that the tuber, as a whole, was but
one seed, like a kernel of corn. But
we now consider a potato tuber more
like a year of corn containing many
seeds, each of which is capable of pro-
ducing a plant equal in strength and
value to the whole combined.
OF course there are hundreds
of farmers who will, and
do, cling tothis theory of Mr.. Knights,
despite all the science or practice to
the contrary. Wesshould think, how
ever, that the enormous yield secured
from the various new sorts within the
past few years, and frequently referred
to in the agricultural journals, all of
which have been produced. from cut
seed, would begin to awaken the stick
lers for whole seed and. set them to
making experiments in this direction.
No one viii suppose for a moment the
yields reported in the case of the Bliss
prizes for the Eerly Vermont and
Compton Surprise could have been Sc
cured by planting whole tubers. Those
farmers who believe that the whole

disease. but Mr.. Brown said that the
dairy cows in England are healthy, and
much higher fed than here.
Nh. Josiah Shull fattened a COW this
last winter, and as he increased the
meal, the flow Of milk fell off. Her
value November LIST was SIS; cost of
feed till April lst, $3.50. She has
given 1,266 lbs. of milk, which at II
cents is worth 1852, and she was sold
April LIST at $40. If manure pays for
care, the profits were S24.32.
Good economists can make some
money by grazing and fattening thrifty
steers and heifers in Tennessee; grind
ing corn and cob in an iron mill
for stock. The profit depends
on many little things. 1t is
a mistake to depend mainly on
grain to make either beef or mutton of
the best quality. The best grasses
must do the large part of the work re-
quired. Clover and lucerne, if sweet
and pure, are very nutritious and at
last fattening with a little meal. The
same is true of blue grass, herds grass.
orchard and oat grass, which are easily
raised. To raise cheaply good stock,
the farmer must crowd grass into all
places too wet to plow easily, yet can
be drained enough for grass to grow.
In this way n way have young
cattle to feed at a profit.

1T was recently proposed to make the
study of French a part of the regular course
of instruction in the schools of Buffalo.
This called from the French citizens a
protest in which they say: "Before all, we
claim to be citizens of the United States.
We are proud of the title and we know how
TO appreciate it. As citizens we claim no
privileges that cannot be equally enjoyed by
all. We have renounced all allegiance to
all foreign powers, aud have sworn allegi-
ance to the Constitution and laws of the
United States. We want our children to
become Americanized, not Germanized or
Galiicized. We are willing to do our part
to bring about a perfect union between the
States and the inhabitants thereof. and
this is the only privilege we claim from
you and our Government" The good
sense displayed in this action of the good
citizens of Buffalo can not be too highly
commended, nor can it be condemned by
men Of other n~ationalities who have
sought and found a home in this country.

and most available men to fill the public Of
fees of the country, State and national.
In this Congressional District there are
a number of worthy gentlemen who aspire
to represent it in the next Congress. Ihelr
merits we do not seek to disparage. But
among the list of names already
brought forward for the position, we beg
to mention that Of the Hon. William ID.
Dewitt, of Carthage, Tenn. He is by no
means unknown to the political and legal
history of the State. He represented the
counties of Smith, Macon and Sumner in
the House of Representatives in the Legis-
lature of 1856. He was elected a MEM
Der of the Constitutional Convention OF
1861. In August, 1861, he was elected a
member of the Confederate Congress. The
proceedings in that body are comparatively
unknown, and what impression he made
while a member, as a debater and orator,
we are left in a great measure to infer.
Many of the members have spoken in hlgn
terms of him.

ment of a lucrative practice. As an orator
he has few equals. In politics he was a
Wing, and was one of those who fingered
long and worshiped devoutly at the aban-
doned affairs of his party. Since its disor-
ganization he has ranged himself as a Con-
servative in the contests that have since en-

won in popular discussion.
His friendship is warm, genuine and per-

PLANTING CORN.

Farmers near this city, where the
food will permit, are busy planting
corn, or getting ready to plant. Yes
terday we noticed one who had a hand
covering corn by the use of a fat stone
or rock drawn by a horse. 1t appeared
to do good work; covering not so deep
S bull-tongue, and pressing down
the earth 70 as to make the seed sprout
sooner than if the soil was more open.
1t struck thewriter as a sensible contri-
vance. A pot with a hoe is worth more
than 1t costs to bring up corn early.

LUCERNE OR

Much has been said of late in regard
to the culture of alfalfa. and many in
quiries have been made as to its adap-
liability to the climate east of the
Rocky Mountains. Mr.. Chas. e. Cof-
fin of Muirkirk, Nd, gives his expert
ence with lucerne last season, in the
american Farmer:
Gas you well know, we had a great
drouth last year. This was especially
bard on my lucerne from the fact that
it was OF a gravelly hill. The piece of
which write contains a triie over II
acres. We made our first cutting on
the l4th of May, when the lucerne was
2 feet 4 inches high. This lasted As
head of Short Horns four days. The
weather being dry, the lucerne did not
grow very rapidly, but we cut it on the
18th of June; this was 2 feet high and
lasted us 81 days. If we had had
u usual weather we should have ex-
pected to get several more cuttings,
but the severe drouth caused il to
turn yellow and st grew very slow,
in the fall it started up again, but with
it came the crab grass that had got
into the piece and had not killed out
by the drouth. Our last cutting in the
fall We made into very good hay.
The lucerne is now looking well,
and l am satisfied that with afavorable
season we can cut it five or six times
during the season. / planted on the
9TH of May, 1873, about two acres of
lucerne, sowing it in drills Is inches
apart. This grew very well but owing
to the drouth we were not able to cut
it last fall. This year l am in hopes to
get a large quantity of feed from these
two pieces of lucerne, and will report
results"
Our lucerne did well in Georgia, and
we hope to be able to SOW a patch to it
next month not far from Nashville.
The Messrs. Jewett brothers are rails
ing in Southern California $500 tons
of first rate hay made of this plant
every year; cutting it three times, and
two tons per acre at each cutting.
