Sow ing Corn in 111-ills to.- Stock. 15 V l\ MuHHIS. I commenced the use of corn (odder in D VD hv making Ihe ex poritnenl of sowing a hot 11 five a er<" of land with corn in drills. It was mg sowed until Hie first of August, and was cut when it was in tassel on the first of October. In the following year, I repealed the experiment, sowing some ten acre/ and burying il in (tenches. In both eases (In* experiment was suceessful. I found that all stock ale il with great avidity, and my experience fully justifies my lirsl impressions that il is the most remarkable imprdtemeut in :ig ru-iili me thiil had been inlrodm ed since the event of the intro dud ion of the turnip into Kng land and Scot land in the !as| cen I ur\. The want of it cheap winter food for stock in the Atlantic Stales has made farming unpro ductive and non paving. In the stale of New York (here arc four million of aerosol' land in mea dow w hich hits cost fifteen dollars per a ere h> pul down ; its pro duct will not exceed one ton to Hu* acre, thus giving a yield of only lotll- million of lons of hay, its ;ihold llu* actual product. The expense of saving I he hay crop is large, notwithstanding llu* use of the mow ing machine, the tedder, llu* rose rake and the loading of the hay by machinery and pitch ing it into the barn with a hay fork :d the rale of half a load at a time. I’o make first quality hay il must be etd lo a day, and cured without exposure to dew or rain, and every farmer will recognize I lie difficulties in the way of mak ing lirsl quality hay, and how largely lie i- indebted to accident for success. Compare all these I roubles apd iviH) the pge xyitfi which all forage plants are pyo .hup,!. ;.mi it will h* faund 'hat vhde ~ne ijTt’ c scrco(| with case nml cei-ir.iniy. the ..they of givat v \peu * p,d 'till gi-eaie) uncerfainty. * orn sowed in drills two feel apart, with a bushel of seed lo the acre, will yield four ton" to the acre, cut when in las sel; at that time it is supposed that the plant has laid up in stalk and leaves ail or nearly all of the nutriment which forms the cob and ear. It is now cut down with a mowing machine, wagoned to Ihe feed cutter, cut up in inch length and buried in trenches in the ground. If you add to this one fifth portion of wheat straw ii will improve the feeding quali tv of the mixture. The trenched must be covered with ten inches of day or earth to protect the fodder from the oxygen in the at nui'pliere. In litis situation it under,goe a fermentation, but in -ixtyday it t reaoy for use, and will remain so for years. The cu t ol this food, exclusive of tenl fui the land, will not exceed one dollar per ton, In this statement, putting (low n the produi tinn of the corn crop at ten ton/ per acre- - the minimum of production it will give forty million tons of corn fodder tit a le-; expense than the hay crop is procured, which would certainly enable us to multiply the mini her of cattle and sheep by live, giving n ten million of cattle and ten million of sheep. This would be the most immediate re mit of the wonderful change that will he made in onr agriculture; but the future is equally- pregnant with as mighty a change in the increased productiveness of onr lands. “No cattle, no corn,” is an ailage so old t hat I lie past gives u- no record of the people that first used it. We, however, well know il - truth, and with our iri • creased lock, our lands, which now hear hut limited crops oj wheat, would he rapidly restored to a high state of fertility, giving u- crops of wheat, to Vie succeed ed by clover, equal to the crops nl did. < 'lover, rye or any grass can be equally well and pre served, but, as they do not give tin- ante yield to the acre, we oppose that Indian corn will have the preference as a crop to be ii-ed for winter teed. In mv experiments, I wa- wind lv-ucce ful in preserving the corn fodder, and thi last winter I fed nearly -dx hundred head of slock on the same for nearly tlnee months. A- a food for milking cows, I am inclined to think it is the best of all—that the cows will give more milk,and that both but ter and milk will be better in quality than from the best grass that they can be fed on in the months of May or June. % ( heap and (<OOll Fertilizer.

The fad dial many vegetables, lib** llax, hemp, elc., will ml easiest under water, induced me to have made from blasted boulders and oilier field j stone, a pit eighteen led wide and forty !wo feel long, with a holtnin to nine fed. bringing tin* beginning level w ith the groun 1 at tin* entrance, so lliat carls and wagons could back down into il without inconvenience.

At fhf* bottom of Ibis jul I put a layer ol corn slalks which re quire a longer time to rot. On this is |>nl at intervals a layer of stable manure, horse or cow, ay about six to eight inches;then on that a similar layer of soil from the woods —leaves, Iredi weeds, sods, the trimmings of (tie ide walks, roads, Arc.—until I lie pit is filled with the covering materials. I always keep a supply ueai by, and when applied, each layer is substantially tramped down.
