Oats vs.. Corn for Live stock.-Con.

Oats VS.. Corn for Live Stockholm
corning this subject, DIR. james, the Com
missioner of Agriculture of Georgia,
writes as follows: Taking into consid-
Grafton the cost of production, the
chemical analysis and the comparative
freedom from stealage, oats are cheaper
as stock food than corn. One bushel, or
ffty-six pounds of corn costs ffty-eight
cents, while one bushel, or %thirty-two
pounds of oats, costs twenty-nine cents,
making a difference of thirteen cents in
the cost of one hundred pounds of the
two. Chemical analysis shows that oats
contain twelve per cent. of albuminoids,
or flesh and muscle-producing principle,
while corn contains ten per cent. 1t will
thus be seen that for work animals, oats
are more valuable than corn as food
when equal weights are used. Consider
now, that one hundred pounds of oats
cost thirteen cents less than one hundred
pound, of corn, and the case stands de-
cidedly in favor of oats for work stock.
In fat-producing proprieties, corn has
seven per cent, oats six per cent. 1t will
beseen, therefore, thatwhen equal weights
only are compared, corn has the advan-
tage as a fat-producer. But taking the
| cost in consideration, there is no choice
in this respect. Another decided advan-
tage of oats for our climate, and es-
pecially for summer use, is, that while
they supply more muscle, they are less
heating and more i~nvigorating to the
work animal consuming them. Still
another advantage is freedom from rot.
ten grain and weevil, which frequently
cause corn to injure stock. Still another
item in favor. of oats is that freedmen
do not eat them, nor can they so rapidly
sell them when stolen. This corresponds
with the fact that ninety-six per cent. Of
the correspondents report that cotton
cannot be raised on bought supplies
Eighty-four per cent. say that cotton cal
be raised at a profit at present prices OF
supplies made at home. This is readily
understood, in view of the fact thai
bought corn and oats cost from two tt
three times as much as homemade; that
as reported by correspondents, only forty
seven per cent. of a home supply O
pork is raised in the State, and that
whileit costs an average of sixty dollar
per head to raise a horse or a mule OF
the farm, 81, 900, 900 were expended las
season in their purchase from droves
at an average cost per head of more thai
twice the cost of raising them. Not
withstanding this enormous annual out
lay in horses and mules, and the fac
that it costs only sixty dollars to rails
them to thr~ee-year-old, only six THOUSAND
and thirty-three are reported annual,

TOPICS FOR THE FARM.
A Suggestive Example.-During Il

A Suggestive Example.-During the
last six years Russia, with a population
.~aggregating eighty-fve millions, i'm
ported foreign sugar to the amount of
only $650,000 per annum, the remainder
of the vast quantity consumed through
out the empire, having been manufac-
tured from beet roots. During the same
period the United States with a popula-
ton of thirty-eight millions, and a large
domestic production of zane sugar, has
sent out of the country, every year, an
average of 5000, 600, 900 to pay for her
importations of foreign sugar. Were
manufactures of beet-root sugar estab-
lished throughout those districts favor
able to the culture of these roots, as
thickly as they are to-day in similar
regions in Europe, this vast sum might
annually be kept at home to enrich the
enterprising manufacturers, their nu-
merous workmen, and a multitude of
farmers who would find a profitable
market for their roots at the factories,
and for other produce, among the opera
tives. The thing has been a success
elsewhere and must be here, when capital
shall be content with a moderate but
certain interest.
Insects.-E. r. Elliott writes: Touch.
ing insects, the statement was at one
time made that 200, 600 species were
known, and that we have 10000 in this
country, but only about 1000 are so in
furious as to be of Importance. Most Of
our destructive insects are from Europe
and have driven out the native kinds, a
foreign weeds have superseded the in
digenous. The insects that work upon
| the currant bushes are two moths undel
names of Egeria tipulitormis and ENopic
| ribedrid, one other a beetle, PSenoceru
s~upernoldtus. This beetle, with the frs
named moth, consume the cores of the
stems, often killing them: The bes
way to destroy them is to cut away tn,
stems on the currants that are injured
and burn them, for there the c~hrysalide.
are nested. The other orfourth insect i
asaw-hy, MematuS uentricosus, which, witt
thefsecond named moth or caterpillar
produces what we know as the "measur
ing worm," and lays its eggs upon tn
stems and branches of the bush, wher
they remain all winter and may be fount
and destroyed. The saw-fy is o
European origin, and known as the cur
rant worm. 1t comes out of the groun'
in May, finds the leaves ready, and lay
about a hundred eggson the under sid
along the principal veins, where the,
can be seer by turning up the leaves
which should be gathered and burned
This is the easiest method of destroyin
the insect. If the eggs are allowed t
hatch, the worms Immediately begin cal
ing the leaves, at frstmaking little holes
whichthey soon enlarge, afterwards eat
ing TIE edges, then going to other leaves
The worms should be gathered and de
stroyed. When they have finished eatin
they go into the ground and form
cocoon heal the surface, or under tn
leaves. These are the most importan
enemies of our currants and gooseberrie'
although others are known which do,
times, very severe harm to the bushes.

DIR. RoLF's monkey hung himself in
Milwaukee, because his tail froze off last
winter. Darwin should make a note of
this event. In former days the uncul-
tured and depraved monkey would not
have hung himself, but spent his time in
coaxing other monkeys to freeze off
their tails.
