Of food necessary for their health.
A hog can live on very little, but
that same hog can eat and assimi,

better for the owner. So many

The Value OF Corn stalks.

At recent meeting of farmers at
Pikesville, in Maryland, Professor
n. NJ. Afford, the director of the
Maryland experiment station, read
a most instructive paper on corn
stalks. In the course of his remarks
he took occasion to strongly con-
denim the wasteful method of har-
vesting the corn crop so prevalent
throughout the country and which
we have 80 frequently denounced.
The stripping of the blades and cut
IT, g Of the tops and then leaving the
butts to rot in the field, practically
amounts to wasting large proper
ton Of the crop, besides being other
wise economically unsound, as the
C ST Of this labor is out of all proper.
ton to the value Of the produc:
saved.
By analysis, the professor showed
that two pounds Of stalk butts con-
tanned as much nutriment as one
pound of corn and cob meal, and
that two and half pounds of stalks
were equivalent as food to one pound
of good corn meal. He further es
timated that there is generally halt
ton Of butts left in the field after
stripping the fodder and cutting the
tops, which Is equivalent to an abso
Lutte waste Of four hundred pounds OF
corn meal or six and a half bushels
of corn per acre.

can make better use Of it. The time
and labor which might be devoted to
it, by neglecting something else, had
better be added to the other fields.
Be sure you raise more grain, hay,
cattle, horses, mules, hogs and sheep.
The man who takes that course is In
dependent at home, and does not
have to send the money away to
other sections Of the United States
for his necessary supplies, and is al
ways pointed out as the most thrifty
man in the neighborhood, and why
not have the whole community
thrifty on the same principle.
The way for farmers to become
independent is to stay at home more,
send their children to school, fill up
the gulleys, and improve their land
and make their own hog and hominy
board at home, and live at the same
place. We need more intelligence
among the farmers.
There is so much to learn and to
love in horticulture that it sometimes
seems strange to think that we
should ever neglect a fruit bearing
tree, or bestow attention, time and
labor on small fruit and fl over plants,
and as the honored Parker Earle ex-
pressed it, some years past, in
speech he delivered in Cleveland, O.:
"If you could take out the influence
Of horticulture from the structure of
civilization you would have left
system of bare walls, hard forms and
coarse living, in whose presence we
would be strangers, as in an unknown
world" Truly is this so.

Copper.

James Lewis X Son, of Liverpool, in their January report on ores and metals, say of copper: Good merchantable copper has declined @ los. per ton during the past month, in consequence of pressure to sell on the part of Amer ican producers and smelters, due to the stringency of money in New York. From E55 7s. Cd. on the 1st ultimo, the value for cash rose to g56 5s. on the 4th, but fell to E52 los. on the 18th. advancing later in that day to G53 los, and to S54 on the lGth; from this point it fell to GJ2 Is. G. on the 23d, rose to f53 on the 29th, and closed yesterday at e52 17s Cd and e53 Is. 6d. with three months prompt. Fur mace material has been depreciated by the sale of 5000 tons Montana copper matte at los. per unit, the anxiety of the producers to sell being so great that this comparatively low price was accepted There has been an improved demand from India. and it Is reported that 5000 tons of Japanese copper bas been sold for direct shipment thither From Birmingham also there is more enquiry and consumers there are be- heyed to be very short If stock, In Now York the quotation for Lake cop per is nominal at about 14'75 cents per ID. The Lake companies are shortly expected to complete contract with consumers for their requirements dur ing the next four months Ut l5 cents per ID. or G71 5s. per ton, with ?! per cent. discount, and when this is done that the American market will be firm CT. One thousand tons of Lake ingots have been sold for France at e65 per ton, while Baltimore casting ingots of fer here at E55 los. per ton. The Syn dicate mines of the Anaconda company have resumed work after fortnight $ stoppage, and ore is being extracted from the upper levels of the Anaconda mine. It is reported that the mines and works of this company have been sold to an English or French Syndicate. With large arrivals during December .-12, 767 tons-stocks have increased 1,056 tons, although deliveries have been good for the time of the year 11,7l1 tons. The visible supply has, however, decreased "A tons. The total deliveries for the year 1890 have ex- ceeded the imports by 31 ,S39 tons, and the public stocks have been reduced to corresponding extent. This reduc- tion is in addition to large deliveries from stocks held on account of the late French Syndicate in smelters' works and elsewhere, which were not included in the public returns, and which arc now exhausted. Consumption in En- gland and France has, therefore, prob. ably exceeded the supplies by at least 10000 tons. The average price ot good merchantable copper for the first half of the year 1890 has been $50 13s. Sd. and for the second half e57 17s. 2d. per ton, difference of g6 3s. Cd. per ton. Imports are 2,2ls tons less and deliveries 27,39s tons greater tc date than during the same period lasi year.
