We comfort of the brood and its chance do not say that all have been practicing these wasteful methods, but that many have. Last year a farmer, on forty acres gave a fair test to his corn fodder. He tells us that on land that bushels of corn per grew him forty-fivacre also yielded him fodder which, by actual feeding test, proved itself worth two tons of hay per acre. He cut his corn as it began glazing or hardening in the grain, bound it into small. bundles wrhich were shocked up loosely in the field till fairly cured and for rapid growth.

Twenty four bushels at that cost would be $3.72. That Is a very small sum to expend upon an acre. The cost of breaking and seeding and harvesting must come within $3, for the seed tvheat is worth 75 cents at least; and he allows nothing whatever for rent of land, which ought not to be less than $1.50. Shall we start the subject of raising wheat again? This farmer needs to be enlightened; perhaps others are as much mistaken as he is. Indiana Farmer.

When slacked pass the powder through a fine sieve and to each six quarts of it add one quart of rock salt, and water one gallon; then boil and skim clean. To each five gallons of this add pulverized alum one pound, pulverized copperas one-hapound, and still slowly add powdered of a pound; then potash, fine sand or hickory ashes, four pounds.
