Fodder corn is almost universally raised to
feed COWS while ON short pasture in the fall,
and is so valuable an addition to their food
that every dairyman should raise about one
eighth of an acre of it for each COW kept /:
but it should be remembered that cows re-
quire variety of food. 1t is not good econ
omy to depend upon one kind of green food,
and especially one containing so little albu-
minOid matter as fodder corn. Glover and a
mixture of meadow grasses may be relied up
on alone, but corn should always be fed with
some more heterogeneous food. 1t does very
well with half pasture, for the grasses will
supply the albuminoid matter.
There are other green crops that should be
raised to feed with corn, and We know of
none better than peas and oats, sown togeth-
er-one-third oats and two-thirds peas-three
bushels of the mixed seed per acre, with a
drill. On land in good condition large crop
may be raised, having q value second to no
other. Peas and oats are equal to clover,
and may be raised on a great variety of soils
a most important consideration. We have
raised twelve tons of this green food to the
acre, and this would feed twenty-four cows
ten days, without any other food. The pea
is rich i'll caseine-just what is required to
make milk-and the oat is also rich in the ell
ements of milk. These two crops grow well
together, for the oats hold the peas up and
prevent them from lying too fiat on the
ground. They mature so near together that
they are both ready to cut at the same time.
But the crop should always be cut when the
pea pod is full and the grain in the milk 1t
Is then very succulent and palatable, and will
produce as much milk as any food we know
of, aside from large variety of pasture grass
es in their most succulent state. If the dali
Tyman has green fodder corn also, let him
feed the corn, ea', and oats together. He
need never fear giving too much variety at
once. In an old pasture, cows find from
twenty to fifty varieties of grass, to be eaten
at the same time. This is what gives such
fine flavor to the mixers on old pastures it
gathers and concentrates the aroma of all
these plants, and it must have a more deli
cious flavor than that made from one kind of
food, such as corn or rye, or even red clover,
alone.
Our readers will pardon the frequent men,
ton made of the importance of variety in
the food of cows for it is too generally neg
lected. Study the tastes of your COWS and
they will richly reward you for the pains.

Directions FOR DRYING FRESH LEAVES AND
Flowers. To be able to preserve beautiful
flowers and leaves for years, by means of
drying them, is very desirable for the bota-
mist, as well as all lovers of plants and flow
ers. A collection of dried specimens that
have been fixed to sheets of fine white paper
is called Herbarium and where the names
place, and time of collection of each is given
and all are Systematically arranged under
their general ORDERS etc, it becomes very in
teresting The materials used for drying
fresh or green specimens are simply guam
tity of soft, unsized paper, such as will alb
sorb moisture quite readily. and press of
some sort What is known rs blotting paper
would be the best kind of paper for the pur-
pose. but something much cheaper will an
swer very well. Most kinds of paper used
for newspaper printing are good. Touch the
tongue to it, and if the moisture left on the
surface is quickly absorbed, then it will an
swer OF course the sooner it shows itself to
be absorbed, the better is the paper. The
paper should be cut into sheets sufficiently
small to handle well, and the greater part Of
these may be made into driers consisting of
a dozen or two sheets held together with a
stitch or two of thread. The specimens to be
dried should not be long picked from the
plant before placing them to press between
the driers. The pressure may be applied by
a regular screw press, or by simply placing
weights on the matter to be pressed, when all
is ready. A pressure of fifty pounds would
do for small operations. By having it too
heavy. the more delicate parts of the leaves
or flowers will become bruised. First, lay
down one of the paper driers, on top of which
place single loose sheet On this the leaves
or flowers to be preserved should be placed.

The Gras.hopper Pcs, in the Yves,

Grasshoppers are Matching out in innumera-
BILE myriads on the praires west of the Mis-
souri, River now, and unnumbered myriads
have been Matching out for quite a while.
The ground is black with them. They hang
upon the grass like bees after swarm. But
this is not surprising for they hatch out in
the same way here every year. l have been
familiar with them for the past ten years and
see no change in them at all possibly they
are a little bigger, for under the laws of eyo-
luton they ultimate in the kangaroo On the
plains they are at home, they are healthy and
vigorous, for grass is their natural food and
as long as they feed upon grass they thrive,
but let them give up their natural food and
forsake their native land, the arid plains, and
go upon our wheat farms and luXuriate upon
the rich highly concentrated food of cultivat-
ed grain, and disease sets in, gangrenc of the
vitas is the result, and the grasshopper per-
ishes Three crops of wheat will destroy any
one invasion After passing three summers
in cultivated fields an epidemic (worse than
dyspepsia produced 10y high living will car
ry them of entirely and no more will be
heard of them until some one situated like
myself on the frontier will report from their
recruiting camps that they are preparing for
another raid.
1t is my opinion that the frontier farms
will always be subject TO these desolatory in
cursions from grasshoppers, but as the tide of
empire rolls westward the grasshopper will go
with it ard finally he will disappear, and like
the locust of Egypt he will only be terrible to
read about. In the meantime he will contin-
ne to make disastrous raids to the East, but
the distance he will or can go will be limited
and the fear often expressed that some day
he will continue his flight to the far East and
become n scourge to the Middle States is al
together groundless. 49, Dakota Letter 10 tile ST.

Culture OF the Cabbage as Food for
stock.


There is no plant which think might be
more generally cultivated with profit to the
ordinary farmer than the cabbage. As food
for mich COWS during late fall and early win
ter there is scarcely anything which equals it,
nndwhen economically planted and cultivated,
an acre furnishes an immense amount of one
of the cheapest of cattle foods. My method
of growing is the following: Select ground
from which We expect to get sixty bushels of
shelled corn per acre, pillow early in the spring,
and harrow occasionally until about the first
of June, in order TO start and destroy as many
as possible of the weed seeds that it may con-
tain, Then mark it out as for corn, three
and half feet each way. Procure seed from
any of the large medium varieties, and plant
If possible Just before rain. In planting
We carry the seed in a little pail or dish in the
left hand, taking pinch of from six TO TWEEN
~ seeds between the thumb and finger of the
right; single stroke of the hand at each hill
carries the seed into the moist earth, drop
ping it in a line about foot long a pat of
the hand firms the soil over it, and it is rea-
sonably sure to grow unless We have an ex-
ceptionally dry time. If the previous cult
walton has been well done the plants will east
ly keep ahead of the weeds until we can see
10 cultivate the rows each way which should
be done as early as possible As soon as the
plants are about the size when they are gem
orally transplanted, after thorough cultiva-
ton we go through with a hoe, removing all
weeds, thinning the plants to two or three in
hill, and filing by transplanting, any va
cancies that may occur. The future work
consists in frequent cultivation, given if pos
sible late in the afternoon or early in the
morning. We commence feeding early in the
fall, cutting the plants at the surface of the
ground single blow from a sharp spade
VIII cut and break the largest of them, and
just before the ground closes up by frost we
gather the remainder into heaps of two or
three wagon-loads each, covering them with
eorn-stalks or straw, in which way they will
keep well into the winter and furnish a much
relished green food at the trying time be-
tween pasturage and dry winter food. 1t will
be readily seen that the expense of this meth
cd is less than that usually practiced, while the
labor is of character more easily performed
by the ordinary farmer than raising in seed
bed and transplanting the plants- In the six

GARBAGE BOATS.

Getting rid Of the city garbage, ashes,
sweepings, etc, here as 1t Is done on the New
York plan, by boats and scoWs, and deposit
ing 1t In the seaward currents Of the rivers,
will probably prove the most practical and
economical method of accomplishing the OBJ
iect desired, Of completely removing such
filth beyond the precincts Of the city.
AS has been noted In these columns before.
10 some States and countries the value OF all
this refuse material OF their large cities Is
applied to fertilizing purposes, an application
from which the most advantageous results
follow.
For instance, near New York large numbers
of farms and vegetable gardens are enriched
and made profitably productive by fertilizlng
them with garbage and street sweepings,
which only cost the proprietors OF such farms
and gardens the expense of transportation
from the city's wharves, or other points
agreed upon In contracts with the municipal
corporation.
The same material from the streets and
alleys of Havana Is purchased or obtained
free Of cost by the proprietors Of large sugar
estates near the city, and moved at their own
expense to their plantations. The practice in
these cases must have been remunerative to
the planters, else they would have disc0n-
tinued 1t.
We think the use of similar refuse from
New Orleans by the planters of the upper
and lower coast. would prove as rernuneratiye
to them as 1t has proved to the planters In
Cuba.
The transportation Of the refuse by such
boats as those now already In use, by such
barges as are used for carrying cotton seed,
or even by the ordinary small burgess used in
supplying steamboats, with coal, would APP
parently cost less than it's transportation
over Cuban railroads.
There would be no such objection to having
the garbage deposited In comparatively
small quantities on thrown out fields (of
which there Is nearly always a small proper
tion on our sugar plantations), as there would
be to piIiDg it on the dumps in the rear Of tho
city. Where it was hauled from o single
boat at time on such fields q four mule pillow
could be used to cover It as fast as it could be
distributed over the land, and thus prevent
evil effects therefrom on the health Of resi-
dents Of the plantations.
We have heard this question discussed by
several OF our sugar planters, who seemed
favorably impressed with the idea presented.
It is probable that were single experiment
made to test the value Of such a fertilizing
material and the practicability of the means
Of obtaining and distributing 1t, such expert
ment would be followed by encouraging re-
suits and the practice advocated generally
adopted Our sugar lands will be further
enriched and made more productive, GER
tainly, by such means, while the city would
be saved great expense in its government.
We would respectfully ask again the views
OF our sugar planters on this subject.

When the German government wants to
convict a man. It knows how TO do it-keeps
on trying him, again and again, until 1t
secures the desired verdict of guilty. The
officers OF the iron-clad Grosser Kurfuest,
which sunk q companion ship In the English
Channel last year, were tried for criminal
negligence and acquitted some months ago.
Not satisfied with this verdict the govern
ment ordered q new trial, which resulted in
several Of the officers being convicted and
sentenced to dismissal from the service and
two years imprisonment. At the same time
q number of other officers were acquitted.
The government does not appear to be at all
pleased with this and have just begun the
third trial Of these acquitted officers. 1t In
tends to keep on trying them until q jury
brings In verdict OF guilty.
