FODDER CORN,

While it is yet time we wish to urge
upon farmers the Importance of having
a supply Of good, sweet fodder on hand
during the winter, for the cows, horses
and young cattle will apprecia. e it, and
pay well for all the expense it has been
to secure it. We prefer to SOW it in
June though it may be Sown earlier if
desired. But if not sOwn before June
(some farmers even SOW as late as july
there is not 50 much pressing work on
hand as there is earlier in the season
and the work can then be done better
and at less expense. 1t is useless to at
tempt to raise a good crop of fodder
corn on poor land, for it must have rich
soil to produce heavily, and when good
land is further enriched with a good top
dressing of well decolnposed stable ma
nure the growth will be heavy and
fine.
the land should be well plowed and
narrowed, and the corn drilled in close
rows. Some planters pillow the land
and then SOW the corn, first treating
the grain to a coating Cf tar and ashes
to keep the birds from taking it, the
narrowing covering the corn nicely.
AS rule, where it can he put in in
drills it is surer OF making good
growth, especially when sown late in
the season. Common field corn makes.
good fodder, but we would recommend
using sweet corn in preference, on
account of its being more nutritious,
and it is also better liked by the stock.
When well cured it is more valuable
for feeding purposes than the best hay
obtainable.

behind him with spirited horse. Mr..

THE IRISH POTATO,

| For ten years | have been expert
menting with the Irish potato, as an
amateur. | have read all the accepta
Bile logic and facts, and now propose
to consider but one point, and that is
the division of the potato by cutting
Some say, plant the whole some say,
cut it to one eye, and some to other
numbers. The structure of the potato
is not understood. Though classed az
a tuber, il is in fact bulb as much
80 as a tulip. What a tuber is, is not
so plain, and the word should be drop
ped in connection with the potato. In
the tulip the eye, or as Webster terms
il, the "bud, EXITS as one eve or MANY,
upon what shall call a central root or
crown. Aud in the tulip there is not
one but many, all springins from the
crown. These eyes or buds are envel-
oped with lamin;e, and each bud when
separated from the crown grows dis.
tinct tulip.
The one eye of any tulip does not alb
sorb its own laminn, much less the
juices of the aninr in the other tulips
in the same general cover Now, the
same structure exists in the potato !;
only the lamina of the tulip are solid
in the potato. The eye Of the potato is
the bud, and the edible mass is simply
the matrix in which the bud is matured,
and when the bud is mature the matrix
forms only protection of the delicate
eye, which, when planted, sprouts,
throws out roots at the very surface,
and all its sustenance is thereafter
drawn from the air and soil. The ma
trix is now utterly useless to the new

out of that number found only five

From their report the Commissioners
of thatCounty take but little interest in
their respective schools, for out of the

six had been visited by the Commits

HOW To SECURE GOOD PEACHES.

HOW To SECURE GOOD PEACHES.
y. NJ Augur, State pomologist Of Con
necticut, presents some valuable sugges-
tions concerning the treatment of the
peach orchard in recent number of the
Garden. Overbearing, he says, is fire.
quent cause of early decline in the peach
orchard. The tree has a tendency to
prolific bearing; it ripens its fruit in
the dryest part of the year and an ex-
cessive crop may entirely overdraw its
reserved vitality rs readily as your
bank account il imprudently managed.
A bushel of peaches Of lao specimens
is worth far more than if made up Of
double this number, and exhausts the
tree far less Therefore, if your peach
trees bloom full, when they begin to
show color, shorten back and thin out
One-hair of the young wood, which will
result in a fair crop of extra fine peach
es, and growth of well MANFRED wood,
firm and healthy for the succeeding
year.
TO preserve the health of peach trees
in bearing no other crop should begrown
in the orchard ; they should be well cul-
tivated till midsummer, but after July
the ground about them should not be
stirred, in order to secure ripened wood.
The ground of a young orchard must be
moderately enriched, that is, neither
starved nor ver-tel. An application
of Caustic line once in three or four
years, at the rate of % bushels per acre,
more or less, according to the fertility
of the land, counteracts acidity of soil
and fungoid development.
An occasional dressing of superphos-
phate of lime or ground bone isaso adj
visabe to supply the special wants Of
the peach Fer the same reason apply
occasionally 400 to 600 pounds of high
grade mlriate of potash, to supply not
only the necessary potash, but "chlo-
rinr," which Drs. Gnssman and Pen
hallow consider specific against yell
lows. But before all, as soon as you
see the first indication of manifest dis
ease, stamp it out by the entire remov-
al of the tree, root and branch.
