SOME FIGURES TO STUDY.
the Corn Fodder Raised
This YearS

In the south were planted last
spring about sixty million acres in
corn. These would average about one
and half tons of stalks per acre at
a low estimate. This would give us
ninety million tons of stalks. II cut
and cured and shredded these would
make ninety million tons of good hay.
In many parts of the country hay
sells at fifteen to twenty dollars per
ton, so we think it is safe to value the
entire output at ten dollars. This
would give us. nine hundred million
dollars as the value Of the corn stalk
crop of the south for one year. This
is twice the value of the cotton crop,
including the seed. You say this Is
too much. We think not. This est
mate takes in Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, as well as all the other
cotton-producing states, and we think
is under rather than over the true
area. e
We are suffering most of these to
go to waste. We are letting them rot
or burning them. This is loss that
good farming can not suffer to go on.
Because we did not know the value of
corn stalks few years since is not q
good reason why we should not take
care of them now that we do know
their value. Past Ignorance does not
justify present and future waste.
A few years since we did not know
the value of the cotton seed. Now no
man thinks of throwing away his cot
ton seed. But the corn stalks are
worth more than the cotton seed.
If farmer plants ten acres in cot
ton and ten acres in corn to each
plow, his cotton seed will be worth
about twenty dollars and his corn
stalks one hundred and fifty dollars,
allowing twenty cents per bushel for
seed and ten dollars per ton for hay.
These figures are SO. astonishing
that you can hardly believe them. The
cotton seed per acre is worth about
two dollars, the corn stalks about fif-
teen dollars. The cotton crop aver
ages about one bale to three acres,
or one thousand pounds of seed to
three acres. The farmers do not av-
erage over six dollars per bale for
their cotton seed.
Take the bottom and upland corn
the Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Mississippi bottoms and Texas
corn crops-and we win find over an
average of one and half tons of
stalks per acre. SEw.
This enormous. waste should be
stopped at once. The corn stalks
should be cut and shredded. Shredded
corn for feed is no longer an expert
ment. Its value has been proven by
all kinds of tests. Analysis shows it
to be among the best hays. Feeding
tests show it to be equal to the syer-
age for cattle and horses. Dairy herds
fed exclusively this kind of hay do
not lose anything in milk or butter
yield, and show improved quality Of
both milk and butter. II
Corn slower is better than bulls for
dairy use. The stalks are worth saw.

pulled. Southern Cultivator

AMERICAN BRIDGES.
There Are Bot Few Beautiful Ones
Among the Multitude of Spans
in Our cities. 8-e

We have only to look at the bridges
of Paris, of'London, of Berlin, to see
that good bridges are the rule rather
than the exception in European cities,
and that eminent beauty and monu-
mental character, as illustrated BY
some of the newest structures, are
compatible with the latest achieve
ments of engineering in metallic con-
struction. On the other hand, when
we look at our American cities, we
shall see good bridges rare exception.
New York. for example. has but one
good bridge of note, in the strict ac-
ceptance of the term-the Washington
bridge over the Harlem The High
bridge, close by, is part of an aque-
duct, writes Sylvester Baxter on Art
in Public Works." in Century.
Chicago, whose river gives il super
abundance of bridges, outside of its
parks has not single one worthy of
the name. Boston is another city of
bridges, but most of these are mex
pressibly mean affairs. In the parks,
TO be sure, Boston has many bridges of
striking beauty. representing a re-
markable variety in design. One--the
Longwood Avenue bridge, spanning
the idyllic stream of the Riverway with
a noble great arch-is for ordinary
traffic rather than for park purposes.
Some of the most deplorable of Bos-
tons bridges cross the great channel
which the railway tracks cut through
the heart of the city. OF these, the
Dartmouth Street bridge in particular,
hard by Copley Square and the public
library and against the rich facade of
the Back Bay railway station, is so
aggressiyely offensive, with its steel
truss-work of an excruciatingly dis
torted shape, that any expense would
be justifiable to secure its replacement
with some thing unobstrusively worthy
of the site. But the tide in Boston APP
pears at last to have turned towards
the construction of good bridges. \
handsome new bridge for combined
parkway and ordinary traffic across
the Neponset is one token of this ten
dency, but the most significant in
stance is that of the great new bridge
10 Cambridge under construction
across the Charles river. Particular
pains have been taken to give a monu-
mental character to this bridge,
which has received, prospectively. the
name of the most beautiful in the Uni
ted States.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
THE SMALL FARMER.
70 he Successful the Small Farmer
Should Not Attempt to DO
=. Too Much.

I. y ~
We are very often met with the re-
mark that our advice, and that of
many of our correspondents, is all
right for the large farmers, but is not
suited to the small farmer. Having
only one horse, they. do not see how
he is to do the work we pleadsfor A
correspondent in another column is
much exercised upon this point We
are glad he has called out attention
to it.
We have repeatedly said that the
deep blowing, which is the foundation
OF all good farming. can be done with
any kind of pillow. 1t does not depend
upon the shape or size of the pillow or
the number of the team; it is simply
question of the depth of the work.
II you get the soil broken to twelve
or fourteen inches deep, it does not
matter what kind of pillow did the
work. All the one-horse farmer has
to do is, just go twice or three times
in the same furrow with the same
pillow. The thing TO be done is to get
the hard-pan broken. g
A turn-plow is not essential to good
blowing. 1t is great convenience
sometimes, bat not at all necessity.
Any pillow that breaks the soil win do.
Again, we wish to call attention to
the fact that this subsoiling does not
need to be repeated every year; on
very many farms it never needs TO be
repeated at all. If you do good farm
ing after you have once broken-it the
soil will continue to be open and easi-
ly broken for all time to come. The
hard-pan was made by blowing when
the soil was wet. Now, if you never
pillow again when It is wet you will
never make any hard-pan.
When once you get your soil twelve
to fifteen inches deep it will remain
so as long as you do good farming.
The man with one horse. can do this
work as well as the man with four.
OF course he can not go over as much
ground, but he can go over one
fourth. His one horse can do as much
as either one of the four. Is
What we have said on this point Is
equally true of all the other farm OPP
erations except, perhaps, the Shred
ding of corn; but if all the farmers
would cut their corn, travelling shred
ders would soon be at hand to do the
shredding. 1t will pay to cut your
corn, even though you never get Il
shredded. 1t can be cut with a. feed
cutter or with Ratchet so as to do
quite well.
The trouble in nearly all of our
farms is that we are trying to farm
on too large a scale; we are trying to
go over too many acres to the horse.
We must do one of two things
either cut down the acres, or use
more and better machinery. Let the
farmer who plows one horse make up
his mind to cut down to Is acres, and
cultivate it as it should be done, rath-
er than continue to try 30 acres and
cultivate that as it should not be
| done. Good, thorough work pays.-
Southern Cultirator.

ACROSS SAHARA BY BALLOON.
Project which II Being Regarded
a with Much Interest by French
AerOnauts "

The aeronsutical problem which il
just now receiving most attention in
France is voyage across the great
desert Of Sahara. A. Deburaux con-
siders it absolutely impracticable to
travel from Tunis to the Niger by
means of the winds travelling in that
region, reports the Scientific sAmeri-
Can. Up to the present time this am
bition has remained unrealized, for the
reason that the necessary funds have
not been forthcoming. To construct
and equip a balloon with a carrying
capacity of several passengers would
entail cost of about $160,000. For
economical reasons the plan has been
advocated of sending up an expert
mental balloon controlled by auto
matte devices The expense involved
In this undertaking would be only
about $4,000. ~za.ss
The equilibrium of this experimental
balloon is to be maintained by means

! Prof. Debureaux believes that the mo-
nadic tribes of the desert, who might
pick up this balloon, would probably
convey the information of their find
to civilization. But whether the mo-
MAIDS of the desert are sufficiently inn
bued with the scientific spirit, is a
matter of some doubt. Perhaps bet
ter plan would be to offer reward for
the return of the balloon or of some
account of its fate.

, It is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount OF
feed per thousand pounds of i've
weight. This statement seems not to
be well founded. In some experiments
at the Iowa station the cattle con-
sumed 1876 pounds of dry matter per
thousand pounds live weight against
an average of 29.07 by sheep. Both
sheep and cattle were on full feed.
The sheep made a daily gain of 3.73
pounds of live weight, and the cattle
PA. In summing up this comparison
we find that while sheep ate 40 per
cent. more than the cattle they also
gained nearly IS per cent. more

The Farm, Field and Preside has
long believed in the razorback hog of
the south; but it was in his speed, in
mis- ability to go through any fence
and his unequaled facility in rustling
for his living and outwitting the dar.
kies in reaching their sweet potato
patches in spite of any fence. s.
Within year or SO we have pub
lished the results of the experiments
at the Wisconsin experiment station
in crossing the razorback onimproved
stock. The Live Stock journal says
the razorback had been supposed to
be fit only for crossing with fast
freight trains with the object of max
ing the railroad company take the
product at remunerative prices"
Prof. Carlyle, however, conceived
the notion that his fecundity and
good digestion might be put to good
use. The razorback is notoriously
prolific, and as veracious witnesses
have seen him perform feats of gas
tronomy calculated to force goats
and ostriches to suicide from pure
chagrin, Carlyle, concluding the inn
proved stock at Madison was short Of
these requisite qualities, sent to- Ar
kansas and secured several of the
kind that, when reduced to pork, en-
tailed the expense of store lard to
Try it. Results have exceeded his fond.
est expectations. ,.s
$50 far as fecundity is concerned,
they are superb" says Prof. Carlyle.
"We had a number of fine Berkshire
sows that furnish us with nothing
but disappointment, but with the ar
rival of the razorbacks from the
south this disappeared. The cross re-
suited in some splendid filters, and
some of the best female stock we
have on the farm is half razorback.
They improve rapidly under domesti.
cation and make splendid mothers.
Poor bred porcine stock is often Ia
mentally deficient. both in potency
and Digestion. , azorback prepotency
is proyerbial and its digestion, phe-
nominal. The crosses are healthy in
every respect. Prof. Carlyle having
been successful in his breeding ex-
periments which demonstrated that q
lot of fine, but non-breeding sows
really possessed merit, is now study
ing the digestion question with view
of ascertaining what returns the
crosses Will make, compared with
pure breds. In time he expects to fix
the new porcine type.
So far the best crosses have been Sc
cured with ,razorback bears and Po-
! land China sows. The crosses are
healthy good feeders and early matur-
ers, gains of eleven pounds per week
having been recorded. Prof. Carlyle
| believes this blood can be used with
good results on the fine boned Poland

The star razorback boar at the sta.
ton presents anything but q model
! type of hog, but as the proof of the
pudding lies in its digestion, SO the
