Fodder Corn.

The average western farmer very
rarely needs to SOW corn for the
special purpose of securing fod-
der, for the reason that in irais
ing supply Of corn the fodder is
generally secured. But when sup
ply of rough feed is needed than
will be secured from the corn
grown for the grain the sowing of
patch of corn is the most econom
ical plan for the purpose.
With a-good rich soil, thorough
iy prepared and carefully planted, a
very large yield can be secured.
The first crop l ever raised gave me
a. good three horse loads from
four acres, after cutting down and
allowing to cure one day, and then
Is head of cattle had been given a
light feed from it every night for a
month, because the supply of feed
was getting short in the pastures.
| 1t is very important if a large
yield is secured that the soil should
be rich and thoroughly prepared be
fore planting the seed. If not natu
rally rich, a sufficient quantity Z
well rotten manure should b.
twell into the soil. The soil shoult
be we'll plowed and narrowed unit
in good filth. A good germina.

, very essential and this can only b
secured by having the soil in goo
} condition. There are two plans O
, sowing the seed; one is to use
common wheat drill set so as to SOY
! about one bushel or one and one
> fourth bushels of shelled corn pc
, acre. By this plan no cultivatio
is expected to be given. The frs
crop 1 ever raised was planted i
}, this way, using Blount's prolific,
t very tall growing variety.
The other plan is to SOW in row
: not closer than two and one ha
4 feet, SO that a.double shovel plc
t or walking cultivator can be ru
once in each row. By this plan
: is generally intended to give {
e least two civilizations. If the so

sow the seed reasonably thick.

No paper next week. We always
observe the 4th of July as long as
we are able to. But when the thlr-

paper as usual.
Our friends have departed to

We have gone as far as our means

We are in receipt of an offer from
a New York concern OF live POUNDS

seem strange, but we have really
declined this offer. One reason IS
we hate to impose on anybody by
accepting such free offer, but the
Drime cause OF our declining is the
fact. perhaps not generally known
to ink vendors, that we make onl
own ink. And just as long as w
w. Thompson will furnish US witt

such tempting offers as the above

In his interesting articles on the
cost of the production of wheat,
Mr.. Edward Atkinson says that d.
kota is capable of producing on one
sixth of her area, all the wheat re-
quired for consumption by the pop
ulation of Great Britain and Ire
land. This statement, on first
reading seem improbably. But Da
kota is $50 miles in breadth and
450 in length. The area Of this
magnificent territory is over ninety
five million acres, and one sixth of
this could produce, at the present
average yield per acre, nearly 240,-
100000 bushels of wheat-more
than enough to give bread to all the
people of the united kingdom
These figures give one but a fain,
idea of the vast productive capabili'
ties of this country.

NOTES FROM CONCORD.
Fayetteville, April 18th.

In 1885, on Easter Sunday morn
ing, there were four men and two
women in the guard-house from the
influence of whiskey. This being
1888 there has been great change.
The path to the guard-house is COW
cred over with green grass. But we
are sorry to say We have the terrible
evil to fight against again. We are
not glad that we have it to fight, but
we fight it with boldness. We have
selected General Jesus for our Captain
and therefore we do not fear.
Please encourage all your readers
Of this paper in our behalf. Some Of
our weakened christians say it makes
money matters hard, but we know
that it plcases God, and therefore we
fight on.

Last Monday night I'd inst severe
storm arose accompanied with loud
peals of thunder and lightning.
The Normal Literary Society, which
is presided over by Prof. G.. II. Will
liams, we learn is progressing rapidly.
Mr.. E. L. Thornton, of Tarboro,
N. c., was in town a few days ago.
Mr.. John Holloway, of Whining

week.
The Golden Star Lodge held a fes-
tival in Masonic hall last Wednesday
and Thursday night.
Vacation days will soon be here,
and perhaps the little boys and girls
will welcome them.
The grand rally for the church bell
at Evans chapel will come off next
Sunday, 18th. 1t is hoped that every
one will do his and her duty. Our
pastor, Rev. J. NJ. Hill, is working
faithfully.
Easter was strictly observed at Zion.
The church was handsomely decorated
with green shrubs and white tarlton.
Flowers were very scarce. The pas
tor preached one Of his rich, flowing
sermons. In the afternoon the Holy
Sacrament was administered. The
choir rendered several anthems which
had been prepared for the occasion.
Mr.. G.. G. Scurlock spent Easter
Sabbath in Maxton He is constantly
travelling now in the interest of the
Temperance cause.
A few weeks ago fire broke out in

is highly pleased with his new noun
tain home-Asheville. He is very
much missed, especially on Gillispie

The revival meetings at Zion have
closed, after a continuation of eight

only give synopsis of the doings at
Zion, as another copy will appear
relative to this and Easter services.
As the editor gave us >such nice
