Corn STALKS for CaitIe.

Since writing about my theory of winter

mat Others have been experimenting upon
the same subject.
On the college farm at Hanover, N. H.,
Prof. ). w. Sanborn tried experiments for
two seasons, that of last season began Dec.
Sth, and ended Apr. 18th, with three lots of
thrifty, two year old steers, two in each lot.
Lot 1 weighed 1850 lbs. fed bay of average
quality 6,S67 lbs, gained 227 lbs. Lot 2
weighed 2, 037 lbs. fed 1929 lbs. corn fodder,

Cost of food, reckoning hay at SIP ton,
corn fodder and straw at SIS ton: Lot 1,

Without copying again from the German
tables to show the reason whyI think that
the addition of roots (of these 1 think sugar
Deets best) will greatly increase the value of
the dry fodder Last year it cost me less
than eight cents bushel to raise beets, and
the present indication is that the expense
win be less this year. Now, besides beets, we
have turnips. potatoes etc. and to use these
to advantage they should be fed with some
coarse article of food, as straw, corn fodder,
etc.
The question with farmers of small farms
and limited means is. how to get the most
from iudicious use of their labor and cani
tai. Mr.. Stephen Chase. as good authority
on corn as we have in this country, saws that
SIX cords of manure is sufficient on an acre of
land to raise one hundred bushels of corn.
Tue fodder from such large crop must be
something like five tons. The most of us
have not got our lands into condition to raise
such crop but most any of us can GET seven
ty-five bushels of corn and four tons of fod-
der. Now, If we can winter two COWS on the
produce of one acre, and have them gain in
flesh and come out in the spring in better
condition than they were in the fall. I think
we have gained strong point in economical
farm management. Taking the average of
farms, and it requires more than two acres OF
moving to winter a COW, many farmers reck-
on their expenses as the old lady did her fruit
cake, ''It was the cheapest cake 1 ever
made" said she, 81 had all the things in the
house." They do not reckon time. but what.

Poplar l. caves as Fodder.

AS the result of series of experiments in
sheep-feeding which they have recently car
ried out, Drs. Wildt Tschaplowitz, and Horn
berger are able to state that the dried foliage
OF ihe poplar possesses very high nutritive
value as fodder. 1t contains 12.S7 per cent,
OF protein, 47.22 per cent, of non-nitrogenous
extIactlve matter, 20 SO per cent of fibre and
1O,3 per cent OF fat; and of these about 95 per
cent OF the protein, 95 5 per cent of the non.
heterogeneous extfactive matter, 40 per cent of
the ibre.and 79per cent of the tat are readily
digested. Consequently this food is cbarac-
terized by its high per centage of easily di-
gestible fat, and is digested in almost the
same degree as ordinary clover hay. Its

One condition of success in vegetable Gull
ture is the protection of the growing crop
from destructive insects. But the farmer has
friends as well as enemies in the insect world !:
he should know both.
will first introduce some of the farmers
friends. All are familiar with an ugly-luokine.
dark-colored, fast-running bug. which lives
under loose stones and pieces of boards. 1t
is Matched from an egg which the old bug has
laid in the ground. This same bug has the
special mission to destroy the cut-worms and
slate-colored grubs that lay waste our gar
dens, Let this ugly-iooking creature live,
then, Tor he is the gardeners friend. The
tiger beetle, so often seen on fair summers
day running and flying in the trodden paths,
is another friend of The farmer. He is a
handsome spotted and striped insect, and
carnivorous to the last degree. No destroyer
OF leaf or tree or stalks of corn will repeat
such depredatiOns if once he comes in the
way of the tiger beetle
The mason wasp is also pitiless insect
murderer. 1t lays its eggs at the bottom of
little clay cells, and then commences LAYING
up provisions for the future-the young spi-
ders, caterpillars and canker werms-filling
up the cell to its top with successive layers OF
fresh meat, that they may eat and grow until
they are fitted for the upper air. DR.. Leon
ard found 70 spiders in the six or eight cells
belonging to one of these wasps.
The lady bug is another example of useful
ness to the farmer. The Larvae of this beauti-
full bug eat in great numbers plant lice which
exhaust the juices from the tender apple trees
and the young leaves of the peach trees.
The dragon fly should be honored in history
and in song for its war upon annoying in
sects. 1t consumes multitudes of that little
pest, The mosquito, every summer. Some
flies which resemble the wasp destroy the
insect in the egg. These are terrible enemies
OF the maggot, weevil and wheat fly, and
especially of the apple tree caterpillar, in
whose bark they lay their eggs.
might speak in praise of the mole and the
toad. They are the allies of the farmer in
his war upon the destructive insects. Still.
birds are, by far, the most useful in this re-
gard. Two sparrows have been known to
carry to their nests in single hour forty cat
erplllars. The sparrow, while on the wing.
destroys more apple moths and millers than
could be counted. The common robin
slanghters more grubs in the months of Nav
and June. while feeding her young, than
David slew Philistines ia his whole lie: and
the hated crow even, no doubt, DESTROYS 500
grubs to every kernel of corn. Not one of
the singing birds of our fields, woods or gar
dens which does not benefit the farmer. and
which does not deserve the profound graft
tude and protection of the husbandman: vet
the useful insects and these beautiful, charm
ing and helping birds are hunted and des-
troyed by the reckless sportsman, and boun-
ties are offered by stupid legislatures for their
destruction.-Diigo Rural.
