Corn for SOiling.
Western Rural |

Whatever may be said as to the value
Of the various plants for soiling, there
is no doubt that, in the West especially,
Indian corn is, all things considered, the
cheapest available plant we have, from
the time it can be made ready to cnt for
feeding until frost comes. To this end
the first sowing should be made imme
diatcly after planting the corn crop,and
be followed up every ten days until
about the 10th of July. Thus you may
have an abundance of feed to follow the
early sown grain.
One of the great mistakes in sowing
corn for forage is the lack of seed. Not
less than three bushels should be sown,
and we have used four bushels per acre
with decided benefit; and we should rec
ommend three and a half bushels as a
rule. The corn will thus completely
cover the ground from the first, and the
stalks will be So slender and succulent
that the crop may be cut with reaper
and the produce will he eaten entire.
We are altogether in favor ofdrilling,
rather than sowing broadcast, when it
can be done, covering the seed say one
and half inches deep, the rows seven
inches apa't. Thus you get an equal
distribution, and just as the corn is
sprouting, the land may be thoroughly
narrowed with light harrow, both
ways if necessary, which will efiectually
kill the young weeds, and, at the same
time, assist the growth of the corn. If
sown broadcast, we should prefer plow-
ing in the seed, say about two inches
deep, by means of narrow furrows, and
narrowing the soil Just as the corn is
about to come up, es before directed.
Much has been said, first and last, in
reference to the variety of corn to be
used for fodder. The ordinary Wes-
tern dent corn is fully as good as any
we have ever used. 1t is true that gu
gar corn, as rule, has more foliage
than the dent varieties, but when it is
sown thickly, both the stalk and foliage
are eaten, so that it will not pay to. go
to the extra expense; certainly it will
not pay TO BUY sugar corn 10 SOW.
Very often seasonsble rains keep
pastures flush, thus obviating the ne
cessity, in measure, of soiling; but
this, even if it were more usual than it
is, would be no valid reason for neg
lecting to SOW these fodder crops. If
no: wanted, it is easily cured for winter,
by partial curing and then tying in
small bundles, and finishing the pro.
cess in shocks made as secure from rain
as possible. When properly cured, it
may be stacked in narrow ricks covered
with slough hay, or thatched, thus ma
king one of the best possible winter
feeds, not only for milk cows, but also
for young stock.
Nevertheless, while we do not advise
sowing corn exclusively for winter for
age, where corn itself is so cheaply
grown as it is in the West, we reiterate
that no dairyman should find himself
without this or some other green crop,
to assist his cows through the droughts
of summer, even though he be obliged
to cure portion of it for winter for

the order seems likely to become quite

AS mechanics, miners, manufacturers
