corn IN needed for use. The corn is fed night
and morning each day. By this plan the farmer
has move Of his land sown to grass to be cut for
winter use, and the more hay he cuts the more
stock he can winter. By this system Of corn
planting he can summer all the cows he can win !
ter Eastern farmers who have adopted this plan
have beeh able to increase their herds SO per
cent, aud, at the same time, have brought their
farms up to a much higher state Of cultivation.
Only sweet corn, such as Yon would plant for
your own table, is suitable for this feed. The
horse.tooth and other coarse varieties may
be suitable for "eusilage," but are not available
for this use.
DIFFERENT SECTIONS CONTRASTED.
In the East large per cent. of the milk pro-
duced is consumed by the inhabitants Of the cities
and large towns. With increase of population
will come increased consumption. Production
cannot be carried much beyond its present point,
hence it follows that in the future the East will
have to depend more and more upon the West for
butter and cheese. The supply OF these commc-
iities must necessarily come from the West and
the Northwest, for they cannot be successfully
in warm climates. The difficulty
md the expense of obtaining and preserving ice
in warm climates is too great 10 be overcome by
any margin of profit that can be offered. The I
southern agrculturist is more generously re- '
varded, il he bestows his labOrs upon those pro-
ducts especially adapted to the soil and climate, ]
than he would be il he were to employ his time I
in trying to compete with those who have the |
aid Of natural advantages in this branch of agri-
culture Since the object Of toll is compensation,
it follows that the people Of each locality will
engage in the production Of the varie-
ties that will bring the best return with the least
labor. The people of the great West and North s
west have their local and natural advantages, I
which, if rightly improved, will render these por-
tions of our common country most fruitful and I
fourishing. The atmosphere being more highly
charged with electricity thanin most other places
it imparts to the inhabitants vigOr and activity
which is rarely met with elsewhere.
