Corn Shredding.
{. S. MITCHELL In

EDITOR GARETTE:-AS the sea-
son for >hrcddinY corn by thoS e
who are atallintereSted, Thought
| woU d give you few lines on
that subject.
1t seeI~s that we have had one
of the most disatrous drouth, so
far as this part of the State is
concerned, that has ever been
known. If corn was 81 per bush
ell many Of our farmers would not
make enough to pay for the fer
til'zer used. AllFof which makes
the subject the more interesting
There will be lots of stock oil
over the South that will have to
be put on the market in bad con-
dition unless some provisor is
made between now and winter
for feed stuff. We have made
plenty OF corn stalks out of which
TO make slower, If we were pre-.
pared to make it, though as one
of experience would not advise
any one to make the necessary
pre- oarations unless circum-
stances Justify it. Corn slower is
a good feed, no doubt about it.
1t is about as good as any you
can raise. OF course stock will
not eat it quite as clean, but yon
can have it IN such quantities YOU
are apt to feed too much of It,.
1t is so plentiful at least you can
afford to use some of it for bed
ding. Now i will tell you who |
believe from experience who can
afford shredder, and would al
always advise the use oil d good
one: Any man who has a steam
gin or gri>t mill in good farm
ing country. do not believe it
would ay to haul these stalks
any great distance, though You
can make a hay frame on which
you can haul $50 pounds very
easy. You can press it with any
ordinary hay press, and ofcourse
should be baled. A great many
people see m to doubt corn keep
ing and doing well in shocks, but
there is no trouble about this if it
done right. l would cut and
shock all my corn If l had barn
room for it, whether i shredded
or not.
Twill correspond with reader
of Gazette on any feature OF the
subject, as there is too much in
detail to impose upon your valuable
space.

Crops to Follow Corn
Failures.

kdItuL SSs
To THE GAZETTE:-C. w. B.,
Auburn, Ill.,, writes thus to me:
II have twenty acres of young
corn which in danger of being de.
stroyed by chinch bugs, In case
il is destrooed or injured so that
it would not pay to leave it what
can l most profitably raise or
this ground this season? l would
like to raise some crop that would
be out of the way in time to sow
the land to rye
The first important point in
deciding upon a crop TO follow
corn injured by chich bugs. is
that this crop be not subject to
their attack and the seed of the
crop selected for this purpose
should be of such size and nature
that it will germinate under the
somewhat unfavorable conditions
Of soil moisture usually found at
this season of the year. The
crop selected should mature dur
ing a short season, viz: from the
middle of July to the middle of
September or the first of Octo-
Der. The crops which most
nearly fill these conditions are
the legumes, such as clover, COW
peas, soy beans and alfalfa. OF
these cowpeas and soy beans are
best suited for the purpose of
fertilizing the soil and producing
OF large quantity of valuable feed,
These two crops have large seed
containing considerable amount
of moisture and. will germinate
under what would be unfavorable
conditions for the seeds of most
other crops.
The ground should be turned
and the previous crop turned in
order to get rid of the stubble.
The land should be disced i'm
mediately after blowing in order
to form the seed bed. which will
prevent the soil rapidly drying
out. After diScing harrow with
d smooth harrow or if necessary
harrow and drag until the sur.
face soil is in fine condition for
seeding. The peas and beans
should be drilled in deep enough
to come in contact with moist
soil. Use an ordinary wheat
drill and drill about one bushel
OF seed per acre. The rows
should not he more than sixteen
inches apart. This distance
between the rows can be secured
by stopping up every other hole
in a wheat drill. Tue depth OF
seeding indicated will induce a
rapid termination, which is a
very important feature in the
success Of these crops put in at
this season of the year.
Cowpeas and soy beans are
seeded ia exactly the same man
ner, the soy beans being suited
to the richer prairie soils and the
cowpeas to the lighter clay soils.
These crops can be cut off dur
ing the fore part of September
producing large amount of val
liable feed and leaving the soil in
the best possible condition for
winter rye or wheat. The roots
go down in the soil and break up
the subsoil, leaving the soil loose
and mellow. A. d. SHAMEI..

port to YOU for the benefit OF your
readers and lovers of good cattle. the
sale of car load of pure-bred Short
horn Red Pull heifers to Mrs. l.. v.
Russell. of Vicksburg. Also an en-
tra-fne registered Red Poll Bull,
"Ivanhoe. These heifers are from
very high grade Red Poll COWS and
the get of registered Short horn bulls
"a cross which | have found unusu
allv good for Commercial cattle
The offspring of such mating gives
the size of the Shorthorn with the
STYLE and color of the Poll. | also
use the Poll bulls on Shorthorn COWS,
which is equally good and some
think better, as the calves come
hornlcss. Now ] hope your readers
will pardon me if indulge in some
facts and figures about the raising of
good cattle in Mississippi and shall
take for example this little bunch Of
heifers, the property OF Mrs. Russell.
On account of our two years
drouth, and more especially to intro
ducc my cattle IN your state, sold
these cattle, yearling heifers. deliver
ed at Vicksburg, for $7I5.5o or 5 o.
90 each. Her bull cost her in Dial
las SI45 and express charges about
S35, making total of $685. 50,
which represents her investment.
Now we will suppose it will be two
wears before she will begin to realize
on this, and we will allow interest at
8 per cent for this time or $I45.2S or
grand total of $Io3S.7S. She can
then rea' onably expect from this
herd Is calves which will be pure
bred animals and for the making of
prime beef or dairy use, will be the
equal of registered cattle. We can
reason ably expect that these calves,
even in your state will bring the low
price Of SIS each, or 1875. or nearly
90 per cent OF the total investment,
her cows not yet in their prime and
each year raising calf worth SIS,
not requiring any more iced than a
COW worth $40 and bringing a cali
worth 5, and sometimes hard to get
rid otat any price. DO any Of you
know OF any investment in your
state that will do better. or even one
half rs well2
The figures | have given you are
mot on paper" They are facts and
will be borne out by proper invest
ment and care. But tell me anyway,
why should Mississippi continue to
propagate the Mexican or "Dogie'
type Of cattle, with her mild, short
winter, excellent grasses and cane,
with an abundance of cotton seed to
make the prime bullock, why should
she continue. along with some of her
other Southern neighbors, to send to
the great packers only Gamers
cattle that are only fit for corn beef,
etc? OF course there are some good
herds of cattle in your state but |
speak of Mississippi cattle as class.
AS | have said, the Lord has made
the place" and now the people must
do the rest.
Now in buying Shorthorn cattle,
don't fall into the color pit. Don't
, buy bull just because he is red, and
don't think because he has some white
on him he is scrub Some of the
greatest Shorthorns the breed has
ever produced have been roaneS. and

Foretelling Death by smell.


A London physician of large
practice asserts that owing to his
extremely sensitive sense of smell
he can foretell the coming of death
AZ hours. He says that when a
patient comes within two days of
death a peculiar earthly smell is
emitted from the body. When the
fatal disease is slow in its progress
the odor makes it's appearance as
much as three days before hand,
but when the disease is of the gal
Looping kind the doctor says he re-
ceives much shorter warning. He
attributes the smell to mortifica-
ton, which begins within the body
before life is extinct. Dogs are
thought to have this sense for
hunting, hounds have been observ.
ed to begging a mournful baying q
day or two before their masters
died.
