in an article in this issue and the

they are daily menaced with the

because of the much larger number
of boats engaged in grabbing in sum-
mer than in oystering in the winter,
as thoroughly equipped, as we are
advised by the writer of the article
to which reference is made, ito catch

caught, no one can doubt for u

Economy in Feeding Corn.

The science of feeding has made greater
progress during the past twenty five years
than has been, says the american Guilt
GATOR, made in any other department. OF
farming. There is no kind Of feed Of which
this is more true than of corn. There is
much less waste of corn now, and the ra-
ton is more likely to be SO balanced with
other feeds as TO produce the best results
1t 10 hardly too much to say that of the old.
time corn feeding fully half was either
wasted, or worse still, was so fed
as to do quite as much harm
as it did good. We have often
heard OF young pigs stunted and their diges-
ton ruined for life by too early and ex-
elusive feeding of corn. Probably one rea-
son why breeding sows so as 10 let them
farrow in spring has become popular was
because at this season corn was apt to be
scarce and not fed 80 literally as in the fall
With q whole summers run in the pasture
and fed on swill with little corn the pigs,
by the time they were or z months old,
could be fed freely with corn without In
jury.
By feeding more wheat bran and milk
feed to all young animals, a considerable
proportion of corn may be given with great
advantage Both are much better for all
animals than either alone. II is often
thought that full-grOwn fattening hogs do
best with nothing except corn. III laying
on fat TO be converted into grease or lard be
the object this may be true. But much
better quality Of pork for the present de-
mand is made by giving even to fattening
hogs a small proportion If bran or mid
dlings and also few roots. These will be
eaten as change of feed. Appetite will
thus be kept up, and perhaps quite as much
corn eaten or even more than If it were an
exclusive diet.
the effect of large feeding Of corn to
mich cows in causing q tendency to fatten
rather than to give milk is well understood.
But it is none the less true that some corn
meal may be fed every day to cows that
have large proportion of succuent food
with good results both In amount and quail
ity of milk. Much sowed or drilled corn
when put in too thickly to ear ia not rich
enough without reinforcement with corn to
furnish carbon and fat, and also more Of
the strengthening elements than are found
in cornstalks alone. AS often made from
stalks of sowed or drilled corn the ensilage
is too watery and unnutritious. More corn
either in the silo CT added Co the silage when
fed is the cheapest and easiest way to COR
rect this deficiency. This is especially inn
portant in cold weather, when succuleut
food of any kind is apt to become cold
mass, chilling the stomach and needing the
addition Of extra carbon to maintain ami
NAL heat.

a Half Dozen Forage Plants.

The southern farmer or stock raiser. is
blessed with royal list of plants adapted to
his several requirements. Iu this respect
be has greatly the advantage of his
northern neighbOrs, who have few
plants. comparatively, that are adapted
IN the highest degree to permanent
pastures or meadows. The northern
farmers list is a small one compared to the
list that the southern farmer can show and
make use Of. Our farmers certainly have
the plants, though they may not make much
use OF them. Some do, but the great mass
OF them have yet to recognize their value.
No doubt these will wAken to their oppor-
tunities some day, and when they do, what
country for fine stock this will bel
a country that has pasture ten months in
the year, you may say, has neglected its
opportunity when 1t fails to derive a big in
come from stock raising. AS many as two
score different plants in the highest degree
adapted to southern soil and climate, could
readily be named and then leave out quite
number of first-rste plants that could be
probably used for making stock-growing a
success. Look at this half dozen: Bermuda,
Lucern, Orchard grass, Red Top, Bur clover,
Meadow Dat grass.
Here are six plants alone that are capable
CT making Georgia a glorious county for
producing beef, pork, mutton and horse
flesh, and turth ermore restoring the worn
soils to a condition of original fertility
while making the best returns annually,
that it possibly can far better than it can
with hoe crops.
As a summer pasturage grass 1t would be
almost a sin to wish for anything better
than Bermuda. From May until the first
killing frost it is capable of affording all
the grazing that can be justly expected of
the soil. 1t is a grass that needs no recon-
mendation where it has once been tried.
Like Bermuda Lucern is perennial en-
during for many years, when cared for
properly. 1t is better adapted to moving
than to grazing though it can be used for
the latter purpose if managed properly and
especially for calves and sheep. Lucern
affords green food later in the fall and ear
lier in the spring than Bermuda being like
Meadow Dat and Orchard grass in this re-
spect.
These latter mentioned grasses are very
valuable for pasture or for moving. They
should be soWn in conjunction with some of
the clovers-the Red Crimson, Sapllng or
Bur" The Red Top is the best suited for
moist or wet soils. Though an annual, the
Bur, or California, clover is one of the most
valuable plants in reach of our farmers. 1t
will prove of inestimable value to our soils
when it becomes more generally known.
Those who have used it never fail to
praise it.
Have you any of these plants growing on
your farml II not, it will be we'll for you
to get some as early as possible. You had
better divide the corn land with them, for
they will make you cheaper forage than
corn. S. A. Z.
