FEEDING VALUE OF Corn, OATS AND
BARLEY Prof Caldwell replies to an inquir-
er in the New York Tribune, that if the
feeding value of 100 pounds of corn be 200,
that of 100 pounds of oats will he l75. Of
barley 100, and of wheat bran 175." This
does not agree with our experience in this
Southern latitude. We have tested this mat
ter frequently with oats, corn and barley for
weeks at a time, during all seasons of the
year, with horses and mules, and reached the
following uuvarying results: We have meas:
ured out so many pounds of each grain and
fed to the same animals for stated time for
one, and then changed to another kind for
the same length of time, and became con.
vinced that, pound for pound, barley soaked
for twenty-four hours before feeding, orground
into coarse meal, was equal to corn; and clean
shelled oats we're better than either. A plow
animal will endure as much labor and thrive
upon sixteen pounds of shelled oats daily, as
he will upon fourteen pounds of corn and six
pounds of fodder.-D. W. AIKEN, in Charles
ton Neaus

TURNING THE TABLEs.-The young ladies
of Seneca Falls, short time ago, formed a
society and bound themselves in the most
solemn way never to speak to any young
man who does not practice total abstinence
from beer and alcohol. The young men OF
Seneca Falls did not wilt, neither did they
simply continue in their reprehensble career,
but they too formed society and bound
themselves to "leave entirely alone every girl
who puFs, pads, paints, powders, or wears
false hair" taking this solemn action for the
purpose of combating the terrible vices
which are destroying so many thousand girls
and women in Amerca.-Elmira Gazette.

Buy SMALL TREEs.-The average Ameri-
can is in great hurry to realize on his in
vestments. If he orders few garden seeds

Immediately, and if he forwards six cents for
copy of some paper, which contains story
of which he has read or heard, be does not
forget to request the publisher to send it "by
return mail" Patience, which takes the form
of quiet waiting, is virtue of which he seems
to be wholly ignorant He cannot wait the
progress of events, but must constantly hurry
and fret in order to make nature move little
faster than her wonted pace. This tendency
crops out very plainly when he purchases
trees. He finds them described in the cata.
ogue as second class, ""medium," first class"
and "extra." The difference in these classes
is principally, if not wholly, in the size and
height of the trees. The larger the tree, the
higher the price, but the farmer "don't care
anything about that" He wants "good trees
or none" and gives his order for those of extra
size, and which are four or FIVE years old. In
doing this, he thinks he is acting wisely, but
the nurseryman knows, and the farmer will
find before long, that he is making a very
foolish choice. The nurseryman knows that
with equal care, the small trees will grow
faster, and (if fruit tree) come into bearing
condition sooner than thelarger one. In half
dozen years the tree that was small when
planted will be larger and finer than the other.
The reason for this is obvious. The larger
the tree, the larger the roots which it has, and
the larger the roots, the less fbres there will
be upon them. A tree that has plenty of
fibrous roots will grow readily if proper care
is used in transplanting. but no amount of
skill can coax tree to livea flourish which
is destitute Of these little fbres. The roots of
large trees are always more or less mutlated
in the process of taking up, while the small
trees sustain little injury from this source.
Dealers in trees assert that experienced men
buy small, thrifty trees, while those who are
just starting are anxious for the largest ones
to be had. Those who are to set trees the
coming season, will do we'll to learn from the
experience of those, who, at considerable loss
to themselves, have demonstrated that small
trees are the ones to buy.

Planting should be done in the spring, or
about the same time as corn, and four to five
months are required to mature the crop.
When the top begins to die, you may know
that the crop is matured, and then, after saw
ing tubers enough for seed, turn in the hogs,
and they will gather the residue of the crop

Hogs may be turned into the chufa field
usually by the first Of October, and the sup.
ply should be sufficient to furnish full feed

no matter how poor they may have been
when turned in, they will be ''as fat as they

Many farmers have been deferred from

It was difficult to exterminate, as much so as
that abominable pest of Southern fields, the

idea has been inculcated and enforced by
writers for agricultural journals and professed
