thilfM Sugar Cline—Ei’iiun
iniral plan of Faltcuin;’ 11 of'
Willi Corn. ,
Editors Southern Cultivator:—
In raising hogs in this section of the
country, where so little attention is de
voted to the growing of clover and the
grasses, there is a period, say from the
middle of August to the midd'e of Oo
tober, betwoen the exhausting of the
grains left in the harvest fields and die
gathering of corn and opening of the
pen fields, in which corn Is pea co and
high, and in consequence, feeding
stock hogs is very expensive
This gap can be economica'ly and
conveni ntly filled up with Chinese
Sugar Cane. My plan is, to plant a
patch of Sugar Cane at some point
convenient to the pas'ures, where the
hogs wi 1 be running at the time, (' no
acre on good land will ho enough f r
7 5 hogs, little and big,) and commence
feeding as soon as the heads commence
turning dark, cutting inly the ripest—
going ov.r the ground several times.
The late stalks and suckers will push
lip and rip n rapidly, after the riper
ones are cut. At this time my hogs
are growing and fattening in a most
remarkable degree. They get no
il ing but sugar cane and crab grass
from the harvest fields to which they
have access. One stalk of sugar cane
including the head, is nearly equal o
an ear of corn.
Most writers will tell you it is best
to grind and cook corn bet re feeding
to fattening hogs They say it is eco
nomical to do so. which I think very
doubtful. Now let us see what it costs
to grind corn f r hogs. First, one
eighth toll f r grinding ; secondly ,the
expense of shcllin * and carrying to
mill; to this, add the unavoidabl e
was to in feeding meal, and you will
have an ther eighth. Then, if it cost
twenty-five per cent to bed ground
corn, it ought to be much bct - er, to
make it pay. Cooking is not objec
tionable, but few of oar farmers are
prepared for it. My plan, (which I
learned from an emhettly practical
and fucc'ssV farmer,) supercedes the
necessity of hoth 4 cooking and grinding.
It is this : place near the hog pen two
vessels, either barrels or hogsheads,
according to the number of hogs ; fill
up with corn in the ear ; then fill up
with water; fed out one Vessel, and
as soon as emptied fill up again, and
commence on the other, and so on
the object being so soften and sour the
corn. A little syrup may be added at
first, so start fermentation. A short
experience will soon show how long
the corn ought *.o soak, as the soak
ing process must not be carried too far
as the object will be defeated by con
verting the sugar contain and in the corn
first into alcohol and finally into vine
gar.
Now for the advantages of this plan.
First, the corn, by soaking is softened,
and hence more easily mas.icated ; sec
ondly, by souring, is more easily di
gested and converted into fat; thirdly,
it can be f'd on the ground, the usual
way, without wasting a grain—the
whole process costing nothing, when
compared with either cooking or
gjmsftng,"

Keepings weft Potatoes.
Editors Southern Cultivator :
We are s fferiDg drought, (and no ap
pearence of raiD now,) to such an extent
that few persons can make enough to
do them longer than Christmas—many
not so long— l mean with cotton to help
out, for it is almcs’ a f ilure.
I believe I promised to give you my
plan of keeping Potatoes, which is the
cheap st I think, aud certainly the safest
I’ve ever seen tried.
Ibuild a pen of logs, any desired
length, and fiv; feet wide, (this le sens
the risk from bulking,) four to six feet
high, hew it down evenly on the inside,
so that the walls maybe ceiled or daubed
smoothly, cover the whole with a good
roof, and have a small door in the . nd.
When this is doao, raise the bettorn
with stone five or six inches high, cover
these with dry sand, to keep them from
cutting the pi tatocs, which m y now bi
put in, beginning in the middle. Three
or four inches of dry sand must be plac
ed between them and the wall. I some
times have a plat k fr this purpose,
raising it up as the potatoes are put in.
keeping the space between the plank
and the wall well fi led ia with the sand,
which will run down through the pota
toes as the plank is ifretd. Let them
remain so uotiil freezing weather, when
you can readily cover them with the dry
sand, deep enough to keep them from
being chilled. Borne attention may be
necessary for awhile, ts the sand will
continue to disperse i'self among tLetn,
and leave the top naked. There should
be no leaks in the roof. There is but
ditile waste in the sand when once pro
cured. Like the bouse, it is always
ready, and at the spot. Hence, the
cheapness of the plan. The philosophy
of the plan, is the uniform temperature
it ensures, while it absorbs, nod carries
off the excessive moisture that may be
in the potato. I have tried this plan
satisfactory frr 20 years successively.
It was suggested to my mind by seeing
how« rooting up souDd potatoes in the
ring.

P. S.—Will someone give the exact
mode of keeping potato vines through
the winter for tnenext spring’s planting?
Wii.kf.B Booth.—Wilkes Booth’s
body is supper 6 1 to be in Europe, still
inhabited by the soul of Wilkes Booth.
The party whom, “Boston Corbett” so
heroically shot, and whose body, Stan
ton refused to exhibit to any one that
ever saw Booth, was a poor wretch hir
ed by the assasins to personate Booth,
in order to facilliate the escapo of the
latter.
