Corn Fodder.

Perhaps this is the cheapest
feed we can produce. We do
not remember to have seen any
estimate ofthe amount that can
be produced to the acre, but
we have produced on one-fourth
of an acre as much as two good
horses could draw at ten loads,
after curing the shock two
months. Better fodder cannot
be made.
We plant in rows three feet
apart, and drill in broad drill
four to six inches wide, about
ten grains to the foot. This we
harrow with smoothing har-
row. just after it and the weeds
appear. We thus cultivate
twice, by which time the corn
will SO effectually shade the
ground that not a weed will start.
1t is a valuable means of clean
ing the ground, and leaves it in
excellent condition for a late
sowing of wheat.
If planted now it will do to
feed in the fall, when pastures
are failing. They fail often in
August and September, and al
ways after frost. Here is a pc
Rod when we are apt to let the
young stock shrink before going
into winter quarters. Ifone has
corn fodder, half cured in the
shock, it never can be more
prohtably used than in keeping
the young stock at this critical
period. Another reason for
feeding it at this time is, that it
is more likely to damage if left
in shock to be fed during the
winter, as the stalks are weak
and it settles closer to the
ground than common shock
corn. Again, it is difficult to
find it and the weather just in
the right condition at the same
time to make it safe to pile it in
large bulk in the barn. 1t is
very apt to mold, because the
sap does not entirely dry out
before severe freezing weather.
The idea that sweet corn
makes better fodder than COM
mon field corn has not been
proven. It is sure that the lat
ter makes much more of it, and
an article that all kinds of stock
will eat in preference to timo-
thy hay.

Profits of Cotton Raising.

Advantageous as it would be
for the South to diversity its
agriculture by making grain,
grass and roots importantacce
SORES to their leading staple, it
must be difficult to impress the
importance of the fact upon
planters as long as the imme-
date profits of cotton-growing
continue to be what they are
claimed to be. A South Caro-
lima planter states thatthe whole
cost of planting and cnltiyating
an acre Of cotton and ginning
the product of and delivering
it on a railroad is about SII.
The average yield per acre in
the South is IoI pounds, so that
the cost Of raising it is about
5 S-4 GEMS, making a profit of
5 I-2 cents pound, which COM
puted on an estimated crop of
100000 bales, of 45o pounds
each, gives an aggregate profit
of SI24ooo,ooo. Its hard to
persuade Southern farmers to
reduce their planting of a staple
that yields such large profits as
this, and always sells for cash,
and turn a share of their atten-
ton to crops whose profits as
this, and always sells for cash,
and turn a share Of their atten-
ton to crops whose profits are
smaller; and it is not surprising
therefore. to learn that planters
encouraged by the good prices
OF the last season, are preparing
to raise a lager crop than ever
before. In South Carolina they
are making arrangements to
plant half as much more ground
than they did last year, and the
same may be said of the rich
Lower Mississipsi cotton region
where the yield per acre is
double that of South Carolina.

Protection FOR Young Trees.

When it is desirable TO pas.
ture sheep or hogs in orchards
or where rabbits make depre.
dations, the bark of young tree:
may be successfully protected
by washing the trees in tae
spring and again in midsummer
for sheep, and again in autumn
for rabbits, with sospsuds and
carbolic acid. or a solution Of
coal tar and whitewash. Both
are sure of accomplishing the
end in view, and are valuable in
keeping offthe borer and in Civ
ing a healty surface activity TO
the tree, which will make the
bark look fresh and healthy.
One ounce of cerboic acid to
a pail of soapsuds is sufficient.

The Galveston News special
from Cincinnati of the 18th
says the clansmen arc ar
irving quite rapidly. Only
two Texas delegates were pres
ent. Caucusing has been freely
INDUCED in and the indications
are that Hancock, Tilden, Field
Thurman, Hendricks and Sey-
mour have each many trends.
The latter would DC generally
most acceptable and his refus-
ing the use Of his name will
probably be disregarded. An
autograph letter from Tilden
declining to be a candidate, has
been exhibited. From the tenor
of the dispatch we infer that
the writer is in favor of Han
cock. Bayard's name is not
mentioned at all. An item in
the News says Bayard's friends
claim IS5 votes for him on the
first ballot. Speculation as to
who will be the lucky man is
useless.
