From the Tioga Co., Pa., Agitator.
A Good Suggestion to Farmers.
FRIEND COBB : A* I heard no little com
plaint about cows shrinking their milk when
the feed begun to get dry, Inst season, I j
thought it might nut oe out of place to tell
tnv brother farmers a bit of my experimenting
lu growing corn fodder.
I took half an acre of sward ground, turned
it down and prepared it in the same way we j
prepare ground for a crop of corn. I then
marked it in drills thirty inches apart and
sowed fifteen or twenty grains of corn to the
foot, along these drills. It came up finely. I j
ran the plow twice to the row and dressed it
a little with the hoe to keep the weeds and
(trass under. In this way I got a very heavy
crop of fodder.
Now for the result of my experiment : 1 had
eleven cow s. They began to shrink their milk
in the last days of July, so that my cheese fell j
off about sir lbs. in weight per day. I then
began to cut and toed the eleven cows two j
good armfuls of the green corn fodder once a
day. In a very few days the shrinkage was
entirely overcome and the cheese was brought
up to its full weight in the best of the season, j
and held there tiro months. Thus, J got six
lbs. of cheese per day from two armfuls of corn
fodder, which at ten cents per pound amounts j
to 60 cents per day for 60 days, which gives a
total of $36 00. This, I think is a sum worth
■aving. I had much more corn than my cows
rould eat, and, as considerable of it eared,
found it very profitable to feed my hogs. 1
calculate that my cheese would have fallen off
ten lbs., at least, but for this fodder. In my
opinion one half acre of sowed or drilled corn
is worth more thau six acres of the very best
pasture.
I gave these facts for the consideration of
ray brother farmers, and assure them that
nhould they act upon these hints they will
never have cause to legret the experiment.

HAT CATS. —These articles wc wish to keep
before the people. We are persuaded from
our own experience and observation, that no
•mail investment, in tools to work with, will
pay better than hav caps. Hay cured in the
cock is much better than that overdried in the
nun. With these articles on hand,'"the farmer
i master of his circumstances, and can throw
the old adage, " Make hay while the sun
gbines," to the winds. At least, he can stop
ranking it before the juice is all evaporated,
and can put his hay into cock, without fear of
rain, to finish the curing process in the best
manner. A single shower will often damage
a ton of half dried hay, four or five dollars.—
The hay-caps, to save it, would not cost much
more. They are almost certain to pay for
themselves every season they are used, and in
■ome wet seasons they will save several times
their cost. They can be got up for from
twenty to forty cents apiece, according to s : ze
and quality. For an ordinary cock, weighing
about a hundred pouuds, a cap one yard and
•-half square is plenty large enough. It is
well, however, to hve a few of two yards
•qnnrc, for extra sized cocks, for the tops of
stacks, and for shocks of grain which are not
put to stand the weather. The objections to
hay caps are generally made by persons who
do not understand the use of them. They are
best put on with hoops at corners, and pin?,
and with a little experience in handling, the
ordinary force upon a farm in haying time will
be able to secure a morning's mowing against
•11 showers that give any notice of their coining.
It is very little work to make them, they need
no painting, and they do protect the hay. Get
them in season that you may not have to stifT. r
the upraidiugs iff conscience, when you find
yourself caught with six tons of hay down, all
wet ami mouldering for want of a few dollars
worth of cotton cloth, which is now scld at an
unusually low price.
GREENCOBN FOR SUMMER FODDER.— A? every
farmer knows, there is a season in mid summer
when pastures become parched and brown, and
cows fail both in flesh and in milk. Some con
sider this a necessary evil against which no
provision can he made, but all do not so con
eider it. Some farmers,as we happen to know
provide against this time of scarcity by plan
ting corn for Summer feed They often u<t
the Southern yellow flat corn, manure the
ground well, sow in drills three feet apart,
leaving it so thick in the drill that no s'alk
will grow more than an inch in diameter. In
this way, they secure fine, succulent feed for
their stork, from the last of July to the middle
of September. The cows keep in good flesh,
•nd the butter and cheese show no abatement
This corn answers well also for dry fodder,
though the difficulty in curing will prcv-nt it
general use on a large scale. The advantage
of this corn over the common Northern varie
ties is that more of it can be raised on the
same ground, and it grows faster. Plant about
the middle of May, June sth, and June 20th,
for a successiou of tender feed through the
Summer.
CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS —We believe it
may be safely asserted that the farmer in the
coarse of years sustains as much loss in the
seedless injury and decay of his tools by ex
posure to the weather during the season that
they are not in use, as he does from the actual
wear of them on the farm. The wagon, the
mowing machine, the harness, the plow, with
the whole catalogue of minor tools ami im
plements, we are convinced from actual obser
vation suffer more from the influence of the
Buti in shrinking and cracking and in the decay
caused by exposure to the wet not in tue, than
they would were they kept constantly employ
ed ill the work for which they were designed.
To RTMOVE A RUST. —To remove rust from
steel, cover with sweet oil, well rubbed on it ;
in forty eight hours use unlaeked liino, powder
very fine. Rub it till the rust disappears. To
prevent the rust, rub with fat oil varnish, four
fifths of well rectified spirits of turpentine.—
The varnish is to be applied by means of a
aponge, and articles varnished in this manner
will retain their brilliancy and ne/er contract
any spots of rust. It may be applied to cop
per philosophical instruments, 6ic.—London
Field.
LOOK TO YOUR STRAWBERRY HEDS.— If vou
have not. already carefully weeded out your
strawberry beds, and removed the plants from
the paths, not a day is cow to be lost in at
tending to it. Grass or weeds of any kind,
will soon be destructive of the best beds.
P-eiigitm is the best armor thr.t a man
Ctafiiukv.--, but it is the worst doak.
