Corn Fodder.
A 'writer in the Germantown Telegraph,
fodder -
says he considers good / corn as
good as the best hay for' young stock' or
mulch cows. He says '
Of course it takes more bulk of it to do
them as there is a large portion of the
stalks at the butt ends that is not eaten;
but give them all they will eat of it and
they will thrive better and come out in
• the spring fatter and sleeker than if fed
on hay; the reason I think is becluse it
is equally as nourishing and requites less
muscular force to chew and digest 4.
In husking, care should be taken that
no nubbins be left with the fodder; for it
induces mice and rats to work in it, cut
ting and spoiling a large percentage of it;
and therein feeding. the stock will get a
taste of the corn, and in their search for
more will tratnple It under their feet and
spoil it Feed often and-but little at a
time, just 'what they will eat up clean.
Eiperienas Will soon teach you how
much that is; and then their appetites are
alviiiye,ko,Od, and: there will be but little
if any, wasted. You will of.,course have
to increase•or diminish the amount, tic
- cording to the inclemency of the weather,
as with other feed.
Corn: fodder should be tied up in" bun
dles, say about enough for a reed 'for one
edit inn brindle, for convenience inhaul
ini,- and then it keeps much better thanif
let loOse, as there is less exposurit to the
elements. The bundles can be stored
away in the barn or shed, or do very well
stood up along a pole or fence, with the
butts resting upon the ground.
Sweet corn makes the best fodder and
gives the largest yield of milk of any dry
feed that. 4 ever fed. To raise take a
piece of good strong ground, plow deep
and harrow till well' pulverized, then lay
off from three to three and a half feet
apart for your rows, plant your hills about
fifteen Asr • twenty inches apart, with from
sic to eight kernels in chill. Give it one
good working with the cultivator and hoe,
audit is done till harvest time. Cut while
the:nprn is in the dough; cure well, then
tie main bundles and put under a shelter;
and in:the Winter you will find your cows
to give more and better milk from it than
any;drY 'Odder they ever eat.
=mama - wnetE con TO CATTLE.
It is an expensive system of manage
ment to feed whole grains to any kind of
animals. All kinds, of certain grains
are provided with a tough hull or skin,
which the digestive powers of most Wil
ma will not dissolve; consequently, if
the akin is not broken before the grain
enters the stomach, the kernels will pass
off with - the droppings without affording
the animal that swallowed the grain any
more nourishment than fragments of wood
of equal size.
Daring the month of August last, the
writer procured a quantity of , horse ma
nure for top-dressirg strawberry plants,
and in a few' days after the mulch was
spread around the plants the unbroken
graitu3 of oats vegetated, so that the en
tire surface or the ground appeared as
green as a lawn. Psis fact showed con
clasiyely that muck of the 'grain had i
never afforded the animals that swal
lowed them any murishment at all.
Young horses having sound and sharp
teeth will sometimes crash every kernel.
But old horses , with goer teeth frequently
swallow half their mess of oats without
breaking the skin.of the kernel.
When mills are,'at a distance, and peo
pie will persist in ;feeding whole grain, it
- will always be found of more advantage
to soak the grain at least twenty-four
hours before using it. Suppose, for ex
ample, a teamser is accustomed to feed a
team eight quarts of Indian corn and oats
at each feeding, say three times a day.
Let the grain be ptu izta pail and covered
with warmwater every time the team is
fed. This plan weed require three pails
when the team is fed three tunes daily.
Warm water is far better than cold water,
as cold water in cold weather will soften
the grain but little. Teamsters may rest
assured that it will lay well for all .trou
ble before feeding it -N. Y. Times.
BROWSTIG STOCK,
Those who reside in regions where tim
ber is plentiful and cflittle or no commer
cial value, can carry cattle and sheep
through the winter by supplying them
with browse daily. The trees suitable
for this purpose are sugar maple, beech,
bass wood and birth. Cattle and sheep
will leave the best hay to feed on the buds
and tender twigs of these trees, and we
have them to come am in the spring in
fine condition on,tius food, with an occa
sional feed of corn in the ear.
Wltere land is being cleared up, this
aid itpreadlly supplied, and the chopping
is ,usually done in the winter season; but
where this is not the case, let the trees be
felled daily and the limbs chopped down,
s 9 that the stock:cat reach twigs readily;
and they will- get :along -finely. The
safest way is to tell the trees treforelhe
stock is let out of thigi.enclosure, lest be-,
ing on
,hand. when, the trees, fall,, they
should be injurmloe killed in- the ,opera
tion.—.Rurat Nets Torpr— ; f ,
EGGS pr WINTER.
J. L. Peabody. of Macoupin, Illinoisi
tells the Peons, /inner mhat he learned
of a Kansas man about making hens lay
in winter: -
"He told me if I would' let: my hens
huddle together in some warm corner,
annot let them roost, I should get Igen''' .
ay Of eggs. I hal about twenty hens; my
hen house wu a rough shed, eight feet
sqtutre, 'with e'en:mill window and door on
the east. I took down all the roosting
poles, leaving the nest boxes onl y. With
a few.sherahoule I 'made a shall shed,
about four feet square, on the south side
of the larger oae, and covered it with
corn-fodder. (Straw is better.) I'made
a hole for the hens to pass from .the largp
house into the small one. The result was
my hens continited to - lay ail through the
coltt weather. ' .

There are a great many. who are not able

or two, with very little expense." ,
,THO FITABLEXIESB OP WHEAT.
At a meeting of the Farmers Asiocia
tion of Western New 'York, last Wed
nesday, Dr. Craig, of Churchville, said
he was not much of a farmer, but in
examining the question of the Profitable
ness of, wheat with regard to other crops,
he found many difficulties to encumber in
coming 'to a very definite conclusion.
Differenee of soil, location and different
modes of farming make important items;
3

Tjlt fi " "
• a.
BEM
BEE
it is'hirdly_ to be eitmtedthat ell humeri
will think alike: One farmer to - whom I
propounded the , question, gave me an
elaborate statement of Iris experience in
growing wheat. He has 100 acres that he
divides this: Fifteen acres of hay, five
": creti of oats, five acres of corn and pota
totsohirty acres of fallow and pasture,
five acres of buildings, fenees and
roads, all of Najd).. • have be. used
on !the farm in producing "wheat on
the , remaining thirty acres. prom this
- thirty acres 'of wheat he gets twenty bush
els', an acre, making, at $2 e bushel,
$1,200; and added to this he sells $l5O of
wool. The butter, eggs, &c., are given
to his wife for spending money (a right
from time immemorial all good wives
claim,) while the pork and beef that is
sold is used up in buying fresh meats and
fish; so that all of his income is wheat and
wool, amounting to x 51,350, which he
calls Cr. Now for the Dr. to $250 store
bill, $2OO hired man, $5O ,farrier and
blacksmith, 4100 taxes, $5O ;hired girl,_
$46 threshing, $3O extra days' work, $6O
extra harvest help, $lOO, &e., 4c.--mak
ing $986. To this he added interest on
farm, $700; on tools, $140; labor of- self
and wife, s3oo—making a-. grand total
$2,027 necessary to get his income of
$1,330, which subtracted • leaves a bal
ance of $776, on which accumulated fund
most farmers'woul& be oblige& to retire
to:the poorhouse in a very few years.'
This 4, a favorite mode of answering
such questions with many farme.rs, but it
willbe seen at once that the reasoning is
not just;- for the farm is his-capital, and
the interest is what he reaps fiom the
product of, his labor. .He also from this
gets his food, if not his raiment, while
himself and wife are as necessary to look
after his houeehold and interest of his :
$40,000 bonds and mortgages as they are
to oversee the household and interest. of
his farm, so that these items are to be sub-,
tracted, leaving his expenses $BB6, against
an income of $1,350, leaving a balance in
his favor of $464, an accumulated fund,
with its interest, on which he might retire
to a mansion, without being a burthen to
the county or his children, leave his farm
and confer it on younger and more ambi
tious hands. By this it will be seen that
it cost that farmer about $3O to raise an
acre of wheat—which was not very eco
nomic farming—foi, after a conversation
with a dozen or more farmers, I - find the
following table to be the average of their
estimate of crops for the last five years:

Evan year the statistics of Ohio show
a loss to the farmers of one hundred
thousand dollars and upward from
dogs. The number of sheep slaughtered
by these domestic darlings was over
thirty-four thousand last year, and nearly
twenty thousand were worried by them
so that their value was injured. This
loss does not reach the aggregate of some
previous years, hut it is enough. The ex
tent of the infatuation for dogs is shown
by the statistics. There are over one
hundred and seventy-six thousand of
them in the State, and the cost of their
keeping, and from the mischief they do,
cannot be less than a million of dollars.
The only return for this , expense is the
chance that they will bite'sheep, or, run
ning mad, bite their owners. It does not
strike us that dogs are a profitable invest.

TENNESSEE.
(Correspondence of the Pltteourgh Gazette.]
Mnstrnts, Tenn., January 31, 1869.
Iwish to give - you facts which have
come under my own observation relating
to the , "situation" in this region of our
country.
' ' SUFFRAGE.
The dis6anchised, so far as I have
learned, are in favor of utdversal suffrage;
but I. fear the black man is not sufficiently,
educated to combat their old enemy at the
polls; indeed I have heard it intimated that
as soon as these secure the ballot it is their
intention to establish a law of "enforced
apprenticeship," which would only be
another name for slavery. Nor four
years they despised the Union ballot. It
will take fully eight years for - them to
learn how sacred a privilege the ballot
EDUCATION.
The lilacks are all wanting to learn. A
vast body olthem are learning. I have
been in these schools and witnessed just
as good scholarship as one will see in any
common school in the. North. You will
see boys of fnll-blooded African descent,
with odd looking heads, performing diffi
cult probloms on the black board with all
the grace and ease of • a Yankee boy.
Take all the children, black and white,
and it limy' opinion there are very many
mare colored children attending school
thin white children.
.INDUBTRY. ~
It has been said very generally by the
whites down here that Me negro is lazy
and will not work-I,think it likely.when.
they first came'out of slavery flea - was
the fact, but that is not the case now.
The large and valuable yield of cotton,
corn, wheat, potatoes, etc., attest their in
.dustry, indeed the black man is the only
outdoor field laborer, as a rule, 'in the
South, and' certainly When 'their mental
culture is brought up to that of their
physical, they must become a strong and
valuable element in our country. .
L TEMPERANCE.
It is said by Ma- whites here that the
negro is dna ken and debauched. That
there are Buell, I do, not .deny, but that
such instances are:-numerous, or as fre
quent as among whites, I deny. You
will' but very rarely see a black man
drunk azi 6ven i n such a place as this, where
they eso umerotts.
ECONOMY
It is said the black man spends' his
money foolishly. Doubtless that is true.
They-have nt become as economical our
they should, and yet their Savings Bank
'shows that hey aro:not only saving a
large,lMut, but that their savings are aug
menting rapidly. •
.They have not 'much
incentive to I save: money. -. Their great
want, wish and ambition into have land,
and that 'their' old masters will not let
them have. They will never rent or sell
their lead. Their whole ides is to keep
themin the Most servile situation - 4a,their
own and yet the negro the `hist year un
dertOok the sale of their.; own half of the
cotton raised on the shares instead of
giving the sale of It to the mastur, and
the result is that the negro has as much
money as the master„ and .it is my opin
ion they will save more of it than the
master did under the slave rule.

The Abolition of Spinlen slavery.
- A special dispatch from Madrid, RO
ruary sth, to the Noir York Tribune,,
says: As the. time for the meeting of the
Constituent Cortex—the 11th of February
—is near athand, the Provisional Gov
ernment are busy completing the draft of
a new Constitution, which they will re
commend to the Cortes for adoption.
Little is is yet known - of theairticles of
their draft, but the Abolitionists, who
embrace men of all political parties, have
at length succeeded in obtaining from the
Government the official assurance that
their draft will contain a clause prohibit
ing Slavery in all the Spanish posses
sions. The best method of freeing the
slaves is to be left altogether to the decis
ion of the Cortes. As it is known that
the Liberal Unionists, the Progressists,
and the Republicans are generally in favor
of the immediate abolition of Slavery,
and that even some 'of the Absolutists
favor such a measure, it is expected that
the Constituent Cortes will adopt this or
tide of the new Constitution by an over
whelming majority.
