Corn Fodder for Cattle.
ED3. 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

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

To hear men rave about the President's

To hear meu who care not for law, man

that would make an honest man blush.
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- • . .

It once required six months to put
quicksilver ou glass; now it needs only
forty minutes. . .

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

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.

received by this Department:

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.
(leu. c'heriuan reports today that he
gave way last night in the midst of the
darkness aud storm, and at daylight en
tered his line from the right U» the left.
The whole army is now in pursuit as far
as the Chattahoochie. (feu. Sherman
adds : "I start at once for M arietta."
No military intelligence has been re
ceived to-day. K. M. STANTON.

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.

THE THIIIIXi; FOR IHO 1~.
PROSPECTUS.
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.
