Corn Iliiakiug'.
No fnrvi crop is bo liable lo be
ncglocted as that of corn. It is usual
ly put ijsto tlie shock in good season,
but the work of husking and cribbing
is neglected to be done at any time,
and almost, invariably where this neg
lect is made, Ioes attends.
Corn now in the shock is fully
cured, anil in good condition for stor
age. During the Indian Summer is a
good time tor lmski: g, and the work
should be pressed forward until all
the grain is cribbed and the stalks
properly bound and stacked or shock
ed. Avoid husking on very dry days,
as the stalks will break up badly and
the best of the fodder be lost, besides
all farmers dread to handle corn stalks
when they are dry as cinders, and
they dislike as much to handle them
when they are wet and the ground
soft, and miry. Days will be found
during Full when everybody is in
just the right condition, and upon
theae days all the forces that can be
easily obtained should be applied.
Where corn is allowed lo stand in
the shock until Winter, the fodder as
well as the grain will be more or less
injured by wet., as many of the shocks
will become twisted, or prostrate, so
that water does not find a free course
through, and mold takes place. Be
sides this, it will be noticed that where
shocks have been for a long limy ex
posed to the weather, the outeides
are blackened, and almost worthless.
Now when husking has been done
and the fodder n-shocked, that which
is bright is exposed and injured also,
so that when fed out nearly one half
of the stalks are almost worthless
It is a slow proi-epss to haul corn
into the barn, and do the husking
there, as the slaiks get broken and
interwoven eo that twice the handling
is required that there would otherwise
be, but this mode is preferable to let
ting the corn remain in the field until
mid-win'er. Twisted hay bands or
those made of straw, are preferable
to twine, bark or wire, as they are
less expensive, bind firmer, and go
into the manger as feed for slock.
If seed corn was not selected before
the corn was put into the shocks, it
will be ihe next best way to lay aside
the best ears when husking, leaving
a'few husks upon them so that they
may be hung up in a chamber or
some suitable place* It is not in ac
cordance with the rules of good farm
ing to select seed corn from the crib
at planting time.
We have always found corn fod
der to keep ns well when put «p in
large shocks as in any other form
outside the barn. It is best to put
them under cover, of comse, when it
can be done conveniently, provided
the stalks are well curcd at the butts,
and dry when packed away. Where
the stalks are stacked well, they keep
good, but when feeding is begun, re
aioving the top exposes the fodder
to all the storms, and unless fed out
very rapidly, it will become so mois
tened by Iuavy rains and melting
snows a3 to be greatly damaged by
pouring and molding. Wh re sh ek
ing is done bind the tops firmly in at
least two places, then the water runs
down the^outsidu and the stalks soon
dry off.
It is a] much* belter
.plan lo set a
wagon in the field when husking, and
when filled going to the crib with
it, than to llnow the corn upon the
ground to be gathered up after
wards, for two reasons: First, one
half of the handling is saved, and
second, the corn is not exposed to
damage by being left out in the lield
through a storm, which is veiy com
monly done by mis-calculation when
not di and cribbed as fast as husk­
ed.—awn
Oh io Farmer.
Prospective Prices of Wheat.
The Mark-Lane Express estimates
that nine million quarters of wheat
will probably be wanted before the
harvest of 1870, and sees no hope of
liberal supplies from Russia, and
America is suffering from a very di fi
cient crop of maize, which will en
hance the value of wheat. All Ger
many and Htr g.iry complain oi very
inferior weight and quality this seas
on. With every part of the world
being rettv well cleared out, Cali
fornia excepted, the sending of large
supplies is therefore encompassed
with more diifieult-y '.linn usual.
Nathan McGrew, of Ilostraver
township, Westmoreland county, Pa.,
says that he has an apple tree grow
ing in front of his door which was
planted ill 1767—one hundred and
two years ago. It was one of the
nineteen which were brought over
the mountains on a pack horse in the
fall of the year and planted by Daniel
Hammond. The ground was known
as Hammond's Park, and the deer
destroyed all but this one. It is a
sound," healthy tree yet, was loaded
with apples this year, and appears to
have vigor enough to live another
centurv.
A Maine piper mentions as one of
the unpublished incidents and casu
alties of the recent great freshets on
the Carrbasset, that J. M. Dennis, of
New Portland, lost his mill with all
its contents, consisting of portable
grist mill, engine, lathe, machinists'
tools, blacksmiths' tools, carpenters'
tools,
§7.3
worth of belting, a good ri­
ding sleigh, &c. from his dwelling
house cellar, seventy.five bushels of
potatoes, together with barrels, fir
kins, pots, jars, &c., the accumulation
of many years of housekeeping. The
loss is estimated at $2,Out).
Down in Franklin Co., Maine, a
short time njo, a close lifted farmer
died, after devising one doliar to his
only son. The old gentleman was
duiy I.uned in the venerable church
yard, which suff'.-rcd a terrible wash
ing away by the flood, and a little
while afterward his body was found
opposite the son's place,-having been
brought down the river a long dis
tance. When the tender-hearted son
was informed of the fact, he made the
touching remark: "Probabiy como
back after that dollar
A liorsc that is in harness every
day needs an abundance of food and
the right kind. Oats make more mus
cle than corn, and should always form
part of the food of a hanl-working
horse. Corn gives plumpness and
imparts warmth. The colder the
weather, the more corn the harder
tlie work, the more oats.
It is stated that every farm of 160
acres in Eastern Kansas, is underlaid
with 1,550,000 tons of coal or nine
times more fuel than if the suilace
was covered with heavy timber.
Sheep have nearly doubled in num
bers in the United States since 18G0,
increasing Ironi 2 i,000,000 to more
tljan
40,000,000
