Corn For Green Fodder.

It is of common occurrence in this
vicinity to have a midsummer drouth,
and consequently period of scant feed
for all farm stock, where 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 it's 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. l have cul-
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 it's green state, l 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 full feed. 1t usually takes about
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
il 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.
After experimenting for years, 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
to feed in the morning they will get a
portion of their feed from the pasture,
and then if fed green feed in a clean
Manager they will eat a very liberal al
lowance from three to six O. clock. They
are then MIXED and turned into their
night pasture, where they soon lie down
to rest and ruminate, while digestion is
converting their feed into milk and
flesh for future profits to their owners.

A Demonstration Of Curved Pitching.

The question of curved pitching has
attracted the attention of scientific and
philosophical gentlemen for the past
two years, and there have been those
who stoutly affirmed that II was an
utter impossibility for pitcher to curve
the sphere in the manner so often de-
scribed in the reports of ball games. A
special committee of the Providence
Franklin Society, appointed to investi-
gate the question in relation to alleged
curves in balls thrown by skillful hands,
made report to the society ut a recent
meeting to the effect "that after three
stakes were placed in direct line. Mt A
distance of about thirty feet apart, the
ball was thrown by a person standing
behind the first stake in such n manner
that it passed to the right Of the first.
to the left OF the second and to the
right of the third. The ball was then
SO thrown that il passed to the left side
of the first stake, the right Of the sec.
ond and the left Of the third. thus de-
monstrating the fact that the pitcher
has the power to cause the ball TO curve
TO the right or left at pleasure" The
committee give scientific explanation
of the curvilinear motion. The socisty
should receive the thanks of the fratcr-
nifty hereabouts for thus intelligentiy
solving the mystery, and amateur ball
tossers can begin to practice Mt once
with fair prospect OF success II the
rules are followed.-Providence fR. IL

Commissioner Hayt Removed.

Commissioner Hayt was to-day re-
moved from Office. The following ia
the letter of Secretary Schurz making
the removal.
WASHINGTON, b. c., Jan. 20, $780,
Hon. Z. Hayt, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs.-Sir: 1t has become my duty
To inform you that the public interest
demands change in the commissioner
ship of Indian Affairs, and that your
further services In that Office are dis
pensed with. Very respectfully.
C. ScHURz. Secretary.
Upon inquiry it was stated on the
authority OF the committee Of the Board
Of Indian Commissioners, who had been
investigating the charges against Mr..
Hayt diligently and thoroughly, that
no substantial proof Of any dishonest
act or connection with corrupt practices
on his part had been found, and that
the action indicated by the letter OF
Secretary Schurz was taken for the rea-
son that Mr.. Hayt had withheld frsm
the department information which the
department ought to have had. 1t will
be- remembered that for the same rea-
son removals have been made before,
and it is held that in such things the
Administration can be no respecter Of
persons.
On the other hand, it is quite posi-.
lively stated by other parties that,
while the facts developed in the recent
investigation may not have been re-
garded as sufficient ground on which to
remove Mr.. Hayt, they were Of a most
damaging character, and, had Secre
tary Schurz failed to remove him, other
charges, Of a still more serious nature,
would have been preferred.
