Fodder Coma Very Valuable Crop,

A great deal has been written
about fodder.corn in the past two or
three years and all but very young
farmers young in respect to their
farming experience may care to
read nothing further on the subject
and for one or two reasons;
Either that they have realized tho
value Of f~oddcr-corn, unders and
how to preserve it and therefore
need no further suggestion; or that
they have become 80 discouraged
at thcirinabiIity to cure and pre-
serve it perfectly have thrown it
out as being altogether unproGta-
Die. The writer came very near to
this conclusion himself two years
ago, but thanks to patient perse-
verance in %cuItivuting it, as far from
such now. lie tried it in drills at
first and a great many stalks grew
so large it required weeks, yes, al
most months to cure it sufficiently
to allow Of being preserved in bulk.
He lost a large part of the crops
of two years and became almost dis
gusted thereat. Concluded to try
again and plant in hills instead Of
drillingit continuously in the row.
Laid off rows 3 feet apart and drop
ped 10 or IL grains at every2 feet.
The corn received 3 cultivatings
and two hoeings. The stalks were
of more uniform size and became
cured in Il reasonable time. The
stalks however, we're still found too
large and coarse, the stock refusing
much Of it. This year the writer
thought he would improve on this
so he put 80 or 25 grains TO the Hill
and MANFRED with q handful! alb.
of cotton seed killed to the hill.
The result was gratifying indeed,
the tall slender %succulent stalks,
curing easily in 10 days of pretty
weather and none rejected By the
stock. An improvement still shall
be made the coming year by check.
ing the land at 2 feet so tie hoeing
can be dispensed with, using the
cultivator from first to last, putting
20 to 25 grains Of corn and . hand,
full of cotton seed to each hill as
before. A number of hills were
weighed when the corr was in
bloom and found to average from !
to II pounds green. A ton Of the
green fodder will yield about 400
pounds of cured fodder. In check
ing at 2 feet, if the 1880 hills yield
I lbs. the smallest average stated
above the result would be 10000
lbs: of green fodder, eqnal 10 $4,000
lbs. cured, or u tons. By using 70
to so bushels Of cotton seed, this
result can be obtained on land that
will produce naturally to 8 hun,
drcd pounds Of seed cotton. II
planted in April, it is ready for cut
ting in July lst, and second crop
of same can be put in August LIST, or
the land can bu BOW IN peas, to be
turned under for winter oats. The
nearer to the barn it is planted the
better.

A NEW USE FOR ONIoNs.-A New
Hamsliire paper states that the speed
lest way to cure the %cpizootic and
make q horse Thoroughly happy is to
give him onions. In proof whereof
the case of n Portsmouth horse Is eli
ted, which had II severe attack of the
disease, and his owner placed half q
dozen onions in with his regular feed.
The horse tackled three of the onions
Immediately, and by the time he had
swallowed them hegan to cough and
sneeze and prance about. appearing
quite indignant. and refusing to touch
the remaining onions. For full five
minutes he wept at the nose, and then
he was a cured horse. He has not
had a cough, a sneeze, nor any symp-
ton of the ~epizootic since, but he had
the courage to eat the onions remain
ing in the crib tho next day after the
cure.

WATERING OF HORSES AFTER
FELDING.-Thc National Live
Stock Journal, in giving direction
for the care Of horses, says:
"Another common fault in the
Authorization If horses is the lead
ing to water just after u full feed Of
grain. The hrst effect of this is to
largely distend the stomach and
the result may be az serious as If
the material were masticated grain
and saliva. But should this dam
ger be avoided, matters + not nee
essarily left in d better state. The
sudden and excessive influx Of Wa
ter il likely to wash much of the
contents of the stomach into the in
tcstines before the heterogeneous
principles have been digested, and
fermentation, extricatiou OF gasses,
over distensions, COLES and intlama-
tions result. Even this is not all,
The application of IN excess of cold
water on the mucous membrane OF
the stomach and intestines causes
vascular congestion and violent
muscular coutractions, SO that all
tend to digestive disorder Of a dam
|gerous nature. Copious draughts
of ice water are hurtful alike
to man and beast, If it must
be taken it should be in
small quantities only, and frequent
ly. But q drink of water of mod
crate temperature, just after q feed
of grain, is full OF peril to the So
liped. Thirst should he allaycd be-
fore the feed is given ; aud if any is
allowed after, it should be merely a
mouthtuI, until the lapse Of II or
two hours time has been had for
gastric digestion. After q feed OF
hay there is comparatively little
danger. From the excessive saliva
ny addition to the hay, and the COM
puratively small amount OF it's al
buminoids, these are rapidly dis
solved out and ~digested, and tho fur
Their addition Of water is often
rather favorable than otherwise in
Fastening its progress Into the bow
els, where the digestion OF its
starch, sugar, fat and other respira-
tory elements may be Completed"

CUTTING AND CURING.

AS soon as the corn is wei! in
bloom cut it, using u thin. broad
h%atchet-a tool something like
shingle cutters usc-anv blacksmith
can make one in u few minutes.
Grasp each hill under the arm and
bend over and then with one blow
cut every stalk, spreading rs it falls
on the stubble. Let it lie u couple
Of days, then turn it over and ex-
pose Il day OF two-then shock it
carefully e hands required and let
it remain 10 TO 90 days, when it
should be housed, stacked or put in
to large pens, made of pine poles.
If plank are not at hand TO cover
the pens with, it may be covered
with pine straw, making Il pointed
top; stop up cracks, also, with
straw to keep out beating rains

success in the part, at once Justified the
high reputation which had preceded him.
the play of Virginius was written by
Sheridan Knowles for Macready, who
first produced it At the Convent GarIen
theatre ia 1920, Charles Kemble playing
IcIlius, ard Miss Foote Virginia, The
play was Immediately successful. and has
ever since been u great tsvorite both with
actors and critics. Dealing with sItua-
lions most tremendous in their tragic III
tensitv there is yet so much simplicity
and pathos blended with It's awful pas

scrtion that it is "Lhe best acting tragedy

simple dignity OF the character OF Viz
ginius is eminentIy suited to the stern
and somewhat rigid cast of the actors
genius. Mr. McCu.ough's bearing is
stately and imposing, his movements
have all the attractIveness OF grace and
ali the force OF conscious power, and his
face, in its classical outline and concen.
trated strength, is peculiarly fitted to ex-
press "the grandeur that was Rome
