Corn For Green Fodder.

1t is of common occurrence in this
vicinity to have a midsummer drouth,
and consequently period of scant feed
for all farm stock, whore grass alone is
relied on, during the months of July and
August, and frequently in September
also; and all good farmers have for the
past few years been experimenting with
the different varieties Of food recon-
mended, such as rye, oats, clover and
corn, each having its advocates as being
the best for the purpose of furnishing
green feed for dairy stock. While some
farmers grow them all, others cultivate
only corn for that purpose. have Gull
tivated both corn and grass, but have
given the most attention to corn. Corn
for fodder is commonly sown broadcast.
have found the drill system most sat
isfactory. But care must be taken not
to SOW too thick. In regard to varieties
of corn to cultivate for feeding purposes
in its green state, / have selected three
varieties OF sweet-corn as best suited for
this purpose, viz: Early Minnesota,
Moore's Early Concord and Evergreen,
these varieties following each other in
succession, and furnishing the best of
feed in their season. The Early Mime
sofa comes into feeding the earliest. 1t
will not yield as much fodder per acre
as either of the others but is
an excellent early sort for the
first feeding. My rule is to begin
to feed as soon as the ears are fit for
boiling for green corn, which will be in
this latitude about the last OF July, and
to begin with light ration and increase
it to q full feed. 1t usually takes about
a week to get the animals accustomed
to their feed; then they can be fed all
they will eat up clean, and this may
continue during the period of drouth, or
If desirable till winter. If we have
more than we want to feed green, it is |
cut and put in shock to be fed out as |
wanted. We cut and shock before the |
ears get hard. and by so doing we think |
we get the best of feed for all farm |
stock that we have ever grown. For
calves and horses it is cut with feed
cutter, and is all eaten clean, stalks as
well as ears. FkxE9
After experimenting for years, I pre-
fer to feed green fodder late in the day,
say from three to five or six o. clock for
the reason that COWS when fed in the
morning will not care to Craze so indus
triously as those not fed. By emitting
10 feed in the morning they win get
portion of their feed from the pasSure,
and then If fed green feed in : clean
nanger they will eat very liberal al
owance from three to six O'Clock. They
Ire then MIXED and turned into their
light pasture, where they soon lie down
o rest and ruminate, while digestion is
converting their feed into milk and
lesh for future profits to their owners.

EThe legislature of South Carolina pro-
poses to pass a law making it necessary
for a citizen to read and write before being
eligible as a voter--in ether words the
suffrage law is to be on an educational
basis. South Carolina is Democratic
state. though there are plenty of good,
healthy Africans whom the Republicans
lay claim to, and because these aforesaid
Africans will largely be disfranchised, q
howl goes up along the line. charging the
Democracy with an attempt to effect snap
judgment. Why this sudden indignation
Have the Republican managers forgotten
that in Connecticut, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, law almost Identical to
the one now proposed for South Carolina
has been in existence for years, and yet
we have heard no complaint from Repub-
lcan sourcas of the great injustice" of
the law. Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
goes even further than an educational
basis. by making it necessary TO own a
certain amount of property. The great
Indignation which the Republicans express
is all buncombe. IF South Carolina had
voters other than negroes who would be
affected, there would be no outcry from
stalwart sources. All in all, the Republic
can managers are about as hypocritical a
set of schemers as eyer trained in politi-
cal party.

General Sherman has put his foot in it,
again, this time he appears in the role OF
a military autocrat threatening to do dire
things unless his wishes are complied with.
The New York Cypress referring to the
matter says:
General Sherman evidently thinks that
he is still marching through Georgia."
The latest object of his ire is Congressman
Spear, of Georgia. Mr. Spear recently
introduced in the House bill to prohibit
the bands of the army from playing on
Sunday. On the rule probably that music
has charms to soothe the savage breast,
General Sherman objects to the bill He
would have music on Sundays as we'll as on
weekdays, and he has written letter to
blr.Spear, threatening him that if he pres
ses his bill he will remove the troops from
the garrison at Atlanta. As the troops and
the band of music stationed at that poin2
contribute to its social gayety and
business interest, their removal would
naturally be the cause of much regret.
What particular right General Sherman
has to use the United States army to
further his own private views and notions
is not altogether apparent. 1t is one OF
the rules of the war department that all
officers OF the army in addressing commu-
Rlcations to congress or to individual mem
bers must do so through the secretary of
war. This rule Gen. Sherman has violat
ed. and should be subject to some punish
