GENESEE FARMER: I have had considerable experience on feed ing corn fodder on a farm where we kept seven head of horses and twen ty head of cattle. I cut the stalks •with a two horse railroad power ina-' chine, cutting from three hundred to six hundred bushels at a time. I had a large trough, say ten feet long, three feet wide and two feet deep, in to which I put the cut fodder, and then put over it* some corn-chop— corn chopped, cob and all. This I mixed and fed out to the stock, and in this way I fed out all the stalks raised on about twenty-five acres, a quantity of hay and soft corn. had eleven head of steers fur bcev&, which we got in September, and in April tliey were scarcely fit to kill. We kept theitf until July, feeding and pasturing alternately, when we sold them for little if any more than they cost, having only the manure for what feed they consumed and the time and trouble of feeding them. Tkis, Mr. Editor, you may think was a losing game—at least not a very profitable one. The reader may suggest that there were some thing wrong. This I admit. I be lieve in cutting corn fodder for cat tle ; but it should he fad only while it is in good condition—in other words before it gets all dried up say until about the first of Fobruary, for I be lieve that when they are perfectly dried so that there is no substance in theta the cattle do not only refuse to eatrfhem as well, but what they do Cat scours them and thus injures their health; therefore I would pre fer topped fodder to that cut up by the roots, and if fed while green it is as good as the best timothy hay. Feed "in the fore part of winter, and save the hay until spring. Do not have it chopped in the ear—cobs and all. This 1 konw to be injurious. Some people do not believe this, and I have heard of people buying cobs to have them crushed and then mix for feed. This is on a, par with the man who made stone soup. As the story runs, a traveler got out of mon ey and hard pressed for something to cat. lie stopped at a house with a stone in his hand which he had pick ed up, and said he would show '.he in mates how to make stone soup if they would let him have an iron pot. This was given him, when he asked for a small piece of meat. This w.is also supplied him. lie then wanted some cabbage and a few small pota toes. After getting all of these he made a goodvrepast on his stone soup, Jjut would have done just aswelfrwith * out the stone. So with corn cobs. If you put enough of something else with them, you may have a pretty good mess, but it would be just as good without the cobs—at least this is my experience. Now as to stabling and outdoor fee ding. If you wish to fatten, put up your cattle in a good warm stable; keep it well ventilated and not too dark; keep it well cleaned ; bedyour cattle well, and give them plenty of water; then with a little attention and judgment, you will soon learn how much they will erft. This is ne cessary* in order to feed economically and yet with good effect. One rea son why our cattle did not do better, or why I did not succeed better, 1 attribute to the fact that our steers were kept in the barn-yard all winter, fed cut fodder in a, trough at one end of the yard, all lose, and they would chase and gore each other so that some got more than their share, and others less. Their loose feed was scattered on the ground.or on the dung pife, and trampled under foot. Perhaps the reader can seo what was wrong and bo inclined to ask. Why did you not remedy this evil ? Well, I will tell you. 1 was employ ed by a man who is not a practical farmer, and yet would not allow mi? to use my discretion and benefit by * my experience. He owned the farm, and insisted upon directing all the operations thereon. In the end he paid dearly for his "experiment," as lie called it; and surely it was"ex perimental,, with a grief; for he kept his steers much longer than his neigh bors, fed them a great deal more, lost one by over-feeding, and sold them all at tin advance of only three-quarters of a cent on the pound! I think I hear some good farmer—some expe? rienced cattle feeder—say, "Served him right—he might have had better luck." But why do men undertake to farm who actually know nothing about it —why say they can not V I learn from a book. What are a?l the treat ise and essays on farming for if we can not profit by them ? This is very plausible, but experience is the best teacher, as faith without works is dead, being alone; so theory with out practice is insufficient, being alone. If a practical farmer reads and reflects in his daily practico, he will hawe a good help in his arduous operations. As Abraham's faith wrought with his work, so a farmer's theory or book learning will be per fected by tois practice. I have given you some of my expe rience and and hope they will not be entirely lost upon Others. D. W". SAMSEL. Northumberland, Pa., May, 1864 teS>- Maryland has obtained the hun dred day mpu entiled for by Gov. Brad ford Summer Pruning. We have long b<?en in favor of the* summer prufling of fruit trees, of all sizes. Full twenty years ago we were convinced of its good results. It is advantageous in two ways; First, by shorteningjn the ragidly-growing branches, it produces fruit spars for the following year, and brings the trees into any desired form. Second, when larger limbs are removed, the wound, instead of leaving a bare, protruding and decaying stump, beau tifully heal # up, making a. perma nently sound amputation. The period when this pruning should be done, is one of prime im portance. We see June recommend ed, while the trees are in their full first growth, without having experi mented. and looking to the condition of the trees, in this month, it does not meet our assent. We do not be lieve that it is advisable to prune be fore the first growth of the season is completed, because of the immaturity of the wood, which must produce in the second growth less vigorous shoots, besides losing, to a large extent, the yield of first the succeeding year, which is sure to follow judicious slior tehings-in at a later period. In our judgment "summer pru ning" should take place between the fifteenth of July and tenth of Au gust —a period when the sap is quies cent and nature is resting awhile from her labors. We speak from our own knowledge of the value of midsummer pruning of trees, large or small. — Oermantoum Telegraph. TUF, WOOLTRADE. —The Eastern wool markets have been in an excited condi-> tiori for some days past—closing last week with an advance on all better grades ol from 10 to 15c; and till; organs that have beeu advising carefulness on the part of manufacturers iu buyiugat ratea-that have been prevailing, now talk of the folly that has been exhibited in not buying largely at the comparatively low prices heretofore ruling. WO like that term of " compar atively low prices," for it expresses exact ly the position that Wool has held for the past twelve mouths; and if manufactur ers find themselves now in hot water be cause of their following the advice of the " comparatively low price" organs, t hey must take the burning gently. They ought to have been able to see that there was no reason upon which the idea*that the prices of.the new clip would fall be low those paid for the last. Necessity is a stern, unflinching ruler, having quite as much to do with the Wool market as have tariffs and gold; and the necessity for all the Wool we cati raise and import is lis imperative this year as it was last, and perhaps a little more so. Of course with this necessity is linked the influence of the proposed tariff and the rate of ster ling exchange ; and wool growers and woolen manufacturers may look for prices above those now prevailing. The new clip will move slowly, unless buyers enter the field prepared to pay well for all they get. We hear of some contracts for small lota of over desirable Wool in various guilts of Northern' Ohio at 75c, but these arc made with men who are not "posted," and who have but little to sell—blanket lots that are being picked up by local buy ers, from men who depend upon the few fleeces they have for sale to supply their current necessities for change. . No offers have yet been made, so far as we hear, to those who will have larger lots and who see "the lay of the laud.— Ohio Far mer.

MODERN ECONOMY OF TIME. —The following shows now time has been econo mized by the application of machinery : One man can spin more cotton yarn now than four hundred could have done in 1769, when Arkwright, the first cotton spinner, took out the first patent. One man can make as much flour in one day now as a hundred and fifty could a century ago. One woman can make as much lace in a day as a hundred could a hundred years ago- • . . 112 t now requires only as manv days to refine sugar as it did months thirty years "gP- It once required six months to put quicksilver ou glass; now it needs only forty minutes. . . The engine of a first rate iron clad frigate will perform as much work" in a day as forty thousand horses The Tower of Babel, After a ride oi' eight miles, we were at the foot of the Bicrs-Nimrood. Our hor ses' feet were tramping upon the remains of bricks, which'showed here and there, through the accumulated dust and rub bish of ages. Before our eyes uprose a great mound of earth, barreu and bare.— This was the ruins of the tower Babel, by which the first builders of"the earth had vainly hoped to scale high heaven. Here; also, it Was that Nebuchadnezsar built; for bricks bear ing his name have been found in the ru ins. At the top of the niouud a great mass of brickwork pierces the accumulated soil. With your tin go r you can touch the very brickslarge square-shaped, and mass ive, that were "thoroughly" burned ; the very mortar—the ' »limo," now hard* as granite—handled more than tour thousand years ago by earth's impious people. From the summit of the mound, far away over the plain we could see glistering, brilliant as a star, the gilded dome of a mosque, that caught and reflected the bright rays of the morning sun. This glittering speck was the tomb of the holy Aly." To pray before this at some period of his life ; to kiss the sacred dust ot the earth around; there at some time or other, to Bend his body and count hi- be?ds—is the daily desire of every devoted Moham medan^ — Letter in Blackwood. A SINUULAHTHAIUTION.—Among the Seminole Indians there is a singular tr. - ditiou regarding the white mail's origin and superiority: They say that when the Great Spirit made the earth he also made three men, allot' whom were fair complexioned; and that after making them he led them to a margin of a like, and bade them leap in and wash. " One obeyed, and came out of the water purer and fairer than before: the second hesitated a moment, during which time the water agitated by the first, had become muddied, and when lie bathed, he jpeeame copper-colored ; the third did not leap in tul the water became black with mud, and be came out with Ris owji color. Then the (treat Spirit laid be ore them three packages, and out of pity for his misfortune iu color, gave the blaek man his choice. He took hold of each package, and having felt the weight, choose the heavi est; the copper-colored man took the next heaviest, leaving the white uiau the light est. When the packages were opened, the first was found to contain spades,hoes, and all the implements of labor; the second enwrapped hunting, fishing and warlike apparatus; the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper, the engines of the mind—the mutual, mental improvement, the social link of humanity, the founda tion of tbc white man's superiority. WASIKJIUTON, June 17.— Maj. Gen. Dij : The following dispatches have been received by this Department: WAR ITKI'AITTMKNT, WASHINGTON, June LL'th, !): 4s r*. M. Major General l)ix: —This eveuiug a dispatch from City Point, dated 'J o'clock this morning, reached the department. It reports that our forces advaueen yester day to within if mile iu front of Peters burg, where they found the enemy occu pying anowlineof entrenchments, which, after successive assaults, we failed to car ry. but hold and have entrenched our ad vanced position. From the forces of the enemy within the enemy's new line it is inferred that Beauregard has been reinforced from Lee's aruiy. -No reports have been received by this Department concerning the casualties of our army in its operations since crossing .James fiiver except the death of Major Morgan, mentioned yesterday.

CITY POINT, Juno 10.—1:1(1 p. M. ( ten. Butler reports from Bermuda Hundreds that the enemy have abandoned the works in front of that place. His troops are now engaged iu tearing up the railroad betweeu Petersburgand Richmond. The following dispatch does not designate the hour, but it is supposed to be later than the proceeding ones. JAMESTOWN, VS., June 10.—I came down from the pontoon above Fort l'ow hattan. with dispatches for Secretary Stan ton, and just as I loft Captain Filkin re ported to me that Petersburg was in our possession. Nothing of recent date has been heard from Gen. Sheridan, but the Richmond Whig, of the lfith, contains a dispatch from Lee. stating that Sheridan had been routed in an engagement with Fitzhugh Lee and 'Hampton, losing five hundred prisoners and leaving his dead and woun ded ou the field. OUR TEETII. — It is often said that teeth of the present generation are much inferior to those who have pass ed. We wish that some of our many dentists would prove literary enough to give us a dental history. We would be astonished, probably, at the dental evils of other days. Evidences of the use of false teeth by the Ro mans two thousand year 3 ago, were found among the ruins of Pompeii. Three hundred years ago, Martin Luther complained of tooth-ache, and a German embassador at the Court of Queen Elizabeth spoke of the weakness and imperfection of the English people's teeth, which he at tributed to the custom of eating a great deal of sngar. Shakespcre makes one of his characters speak of being kept awake by a "raging.fang." Roger Williams was struck by the imperfct teeth of the Naragansett Indians, whom tooth ache and decay ed teeth troubled exceedingly.— George Washington had a set c 112 ar tificial teeth for which he paid five hundred do lars. Sgch are a few facts which come up in our poor mem ory concerning a somewhat interest ing matter. ADVERTISEMENTS. 1 Administrator's Notice. Estate of John IT Gill, dee'd.

THE NF.W YORK TRIULNK, first issued April 10, 1841, has to-day a larger aggregate circulation than any other newspaper published in Ain»» - a,«»r (we believe) in the world. Compelled n *iftr since to increase the price of its several bwues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of it« proprie'cTS from tho very magnitude of Its circulation, it fin* frf-obably since parted with some patrons to whom its remarkuble cheapness wan a controlling recommenda tion; but others have taken their place, and it has now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers and regu lar purchasers— ai#xcet«* of at Idast Fifty Thousand over those <ff any rival* And this unprecedented curreney it has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring early and authentic intelligence, by the fearless expres sion of convictions, by the free employment of ability and industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in ! any department of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom. By very large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with tho various armies of the Union, ami by special ef forts to furnish such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or improvements in Agriculture, j Ac,, as must specially interest farmers,we have assidiously labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants and subserve the interests of the producing Clauses.— That end we have at lefcat measurably attained: for no other newspaper exists in America of Europe which is habitually read by nearly so many farmers and their fam ilies as in Thr Tbiri'nk io-day. We shall labor to increase both the number and the satisfaction of this by far the most numerous i lass of Its patron". .During ilyMycbteriro of the Whig party, this paper supported though always sympathising with the more liberal, progressive, Anti-Slavery "wing" there of. When new issues dissolved or transformed old organi zations tli rough the spontaneous uprising of the people of the Free States against, tho repudiation of the Mi son. l ltestriction, The Tribune heartiiy participated in thai movement, and was known as Republican. When tin long smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy oni country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the Slave Power culminated in overt treas n ami rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this en spirucy as paramount to all other considerations, and do voted all itsonergies and efforts to the maintenance of out Union. In every great controversy which has divided our country,' it b"s been found on that side which natu rally commands the sympathy arid support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority ol grog-shops, and so doubtless will be to to the last. Ardentlv de.drlng and strivin for the early and endu riiig'adJustmont of our National distractions, The Tribune I leaves the time, the nature ami the conditions of that ad justment implicitly to those lawfully in authority, con ! tiding in their wisd«nn and patriotism, anxi' ii- to aid them to the utmost in their arduous re«po nihilities and not to embarrass them even by possibility. Firmly be lieving in the Aposb lie rule—"First pure f/ien peacoa ble"— holding that the t«tal and final extirpation of Sla very is the true and only absolute cure for ynr National Ills—that any expedient that stops abort of this can havf but a transient and illusory success—wo yet pro pound no theory of ' reconstruction" ami indorse notif. that has l»eeti propoundad by another—neither Sum ner s, nor Whiting's, nor any of the various Copperhead devices for achieving "Peace" by surrounding the Re public into the power of its traitorous fb«s—but, exhor ting, the American People to have faith in their (Jovern merit, to re-enforce their armies and replenish their treas ury, we believe that, if they but do their duty, a benign Providence will indue tiinehilng this fearful struggle t< such a close as will best subserve the true greatness o| ' our country and the permanent well-being of mankind We respectfuly solicit the subscriptions and active exertions of our friends, and of all whose views and con victions substantially witliours.
