Raising Cern-Podder:


There are some important points iH
raising corn-fodder which have never
been sufficiently settled by accurate ex-
pertinent, but which are worthy of
careful trial by farmers who are willing
To give the necessary attention, as well
as by experiment stations.
Among other practical questions, is
whether the fodder should be sown SO
thickiy in the furrow as to prevent the
formation of ears, giving all the
strength of the land to the stalks; or
whether more valuable feed may be OBJ
tanned from an acre by q thinner
growth with well-formed ears In the
latter case; there might be enough
grain mixed with the chopped stalks to
obviate any addition of meal; it being
understood that whether cut for the
soil or fed dry, the stalks shall be cut
not more than half an inch long, by
which their value is more than doubled.
In connection with this question, is the
fact that by preventing the formation
OF grain, the land would be rather en-
riched than otherwise from the mass Of
roots left in the ground; and, also, the
fact, proved by trial, that with a very
thick growth of stalks In the furrow
tsay four bushels of seed to the acre.,
more tons per acre were obtained than
from thinner sowing. although the lat
ter was taller, and to superficial OBJ
server appeared heavier. This result
was obtained from the small Northern
corn. With the larger Southern varie-
ties the result might be differeat; and
with wet season, or with deep soil or
SUBSIDIZED land, a thick growth would
do better than otherwise.
1t would therefore be well to try the
following experiments; continuing them
through three or four unlike seasons:
Sow the fodder in strips four or FIVE
rows together, and extending across tho
field-first with small Northern corn at
the rate of one bushel, two bushels,
three bushels and four bushels per acre,
which will be about, ten stalks TO the
running foot, and twenty. thirty, and
forty stalks. Repeat this trial on well
SUBSIDIZED land; and also on heavily ma
nured land, and observe by weighing If
the subsoiling and manuring are paid
for by the increase of product.
Try the result of cultivating frequent
~, say every five days, narrowing
broadcast as long as the crop will bear
it; and compare this treatment with the
common practice of narrowing but two
or tlree times in the season.
Repeat the above experiments with
large Southern corn. but In quantities
of seed ene-half and two-thirds as
great as with the small corn.
Various notifications of these ex-
periments will be suggested to those
who undertake them; aud the results
can not fail to afford valuable informa-
ton, which may in future and in ex-
tensive raising of fodder save large
sums. 1t is quite important that every
thing be submitted to accurate weigh
ing and measuring, for mere guess
work would be OF little avail, if not
lead to erroneous conclusions Country

Transplanting.

While transplanting can be success
full with nearly every tree or plant, the
farmers are mostly interested in few
plants of quite leafy growth, such as
cabbage, turnips, beets and tomatoes.
With these there is often a saving of
labor in cultivation and wedding by
growing them in beds or hills and when
of proper size Sc. them at proper dis
tances in freshly plowed and cultivated
earth. where by their larger size they
are ahead of the inevitable weed
growth, thus making their care much
less than it would be if sown where
they were to grow. The season can al
so be prolonged as either hot-beds or
cold-frames can be brought through the
last cold days of early spring by slight
protection. The success is surer II the
plants are grown with enough room to
give them considerable substance in the
root and stalk. 1t is often the best
practice, for crops that are grown
wholly in the summer, to SOW the seed
where each plant is to stand and have
the best plant in the hill
Beets recoversoon from transplant
ing II their roots are beginning to take
on the bulbus form and are even half
an inch in diameter. 1t is not ALWAYS
best to wait for cloudy or . rainy day
II the plants of any kind are big enough
TO set II water is poured into each
hole made with the dibble the plant
soon RECEIVERS, but it is little better to
put some fresh cow-manure in an old
pan and put in enough water to thin it
70 mud, but not enough to cause water
TO rise on top; then with stick press
the roots into this and ball of msnure
adheres to the fbrous root that will
give the Plant . good send-off. and will
keep the root damp better than clear
water. The earth should be pressed
very closely about the not Of the plant.
II the soil has recently been plowed or
dug mellow there is little danger of
making fine soil too compact about
the plant The soil Is seldom made to
rich, or cultivated, or hoed too much.
