your crop is a small one. If large,

Neither will cost great deal, and
and we are very certain that the

more to you in a single winter

ell of grain, and We do know
that cows or oxen fed upon
three pecks of the steamed or
crushed cobs, in addition to the
usual quantity Of bay, or tops of
fodder, will keep fat. Then why
haul your cobs to market to be
given away? 1t COSTS as much TO
carry a bushel of cobs to the mar.

Shell your corn, leave your cobs
at home TO nourish your cattle,

Look this subject fairly in the

strongly. There is, no doubt,
nutriment enough in the cob to
pay for grinding it fine, with the
corn, and pay Smelling; but the
cob has never been placed, by anal
ysis at more than ten per cent. of
the value of the grain. LIRE

How to Check the Borer

send you herewith a plan for
the destruction, or rather one to
prevent the borers from destroy
ing trees. As far as the trial /
have given it goes, | am satisfied
with the result. 1t is worth the
trial Of those who have peach
orchards and can afford the risk
on few trees, if they are doubt
full in regard to the efficacy of the
plan. would not hesitate Ole
instant in applying it to every
one of them. The remedy is as
follows: Scoop out the ground,
funnel shape, some three or four
inches IRON the base of the tree
10 the depth of first surface roots,
and clear out all gummy ooze
with a knife and kill borers in
sight, and then Gil the space you
dug out with coarse, dry salt
rock salt, if possible, or that from
refuse fish brine is good and cheap.
The weather will dissolve this
gradually, and what is made liq.
uid thereby will enter worm holes
in sufficient quantity 10 ''salt out
the borers without injury to the
tree, which takes its nourishment
at the extremity of its rootlets and
far away from the trunk = where
the salt is. = Rsrqb World.
