Tff e referred in a Jate issue to the questionable jpolipy of fodder-pulling, and of depending for supplies 01 forage on the blades saved-from the corn crop. It has been frequently stated that the injury done* to the corn by pulling the blades off at the usual season, is greater than the worth of the fodder. The matter has never been accurately determined by any general system oftf experiment,- winch, owever, it is well worth while to do, and while every planter who would 'learn the truth should test the question for himself. ; ; An infolliorAnt flffantp'r nf ViroininL D. R. HarrissoD, of fhince George County, i some years since instituted careful tests to ascertain the loss in weight of clean corn by stripping the blades at the usual time of fodder-pulling, -and also by the practice of topping corn above the ear, as the usual Virginia custom after the' ear is well-filled. ' * '* Rows of equal length, twelve rows making an acre, the average weight per Tow of clean corn is given -as fojlows": i lbs. per row.

It indicates a considerable^less in every instance of comparison, by folder-pulling. lWe": have also the report of another experiment of the same nature made a good many years ago by Mr. George Seaborn, of Pendleton, S and published in the Greenville Mountaineer at that time. . Mr. Seaborn tested on twelve -short rows of corn as uniform in every respect as possible,-as follows > I Rows 1,,4, T, and 10 were left with all r <18# blades* on, when mature *nd dry, shelled out 7J lbs., measuring 4 pecks, 1 gallon 2 quarts and 2? pints. ?_Ro?r?$j 5,.8-and 11, were stripped of Vrf l : -J e r_.i uieir uiouco at uic uautu pvriuu iur iuu'^der-piilling, and shelled out 55 lbs. only, and measured 4 pecks and $ pint. The fodder from these two rows, when cured, weighed 18 lbs. which added to the 55 makes only $ lb. more, than the clean corn from the rows on which the blades were left. The remaining rows, 8, 6, 9, 12, Mr. Seaborn left until the blades were dry up to the earj .and on some stalks even to thn top, then eat up at the roots and shocked in, the field till the other corn vrttsi /gathered. It was then hauled in and ,&hucked, and shelled out 701 lbs. measured 4 pecks, 1 gallon, 2 quarts and 1 pi^h . 'This last result corroborates that of the first four rows, and the whole testimony, of the experiments is strongly to letitel effect/that by pullingithe blade fodder we lps>e iq weight of the corn almost Tf[ 'T-.v . i_ _ p i.i From the Carolina Farmer. Grafting?Manures?Grain Crops. Mews. Editors: For the benefit of those, who intend starting orchard^ J will give you my experience in grafting apple and pear trees. I sow seed occasionally, but not enough for the demand. I do not, however, lack for roots upon which to graft. These I obtain as follows: in digging up trees to be transplanted, there are a great many roots that get bruised. These should be trimmed off with care and cut in pieces four or five inches in length. When the buds begin to swell, say the latter part of March, I cut off my sprouts of last year's growth about three or four-joints in length!? Graft these upon the roots above mentioned and set out with. the joint one inch TKam tPA??lr 4-r\ UI Ull'iU ill LI1C giuunu. JLUCU n via IV keep down the weeds and grass, earthing up lightly every week.# I never lose more than ten per cent, of my grafts treated in tliis way. If the weather should be dry, water the grafts and lay a plank on either side of the row so as to keep the ground moist, cool and mellow. If more than one sprout should come on a single graft, it should be trimmed or pinched off carefully. Peaches, I always plant, never grafting. I transplant them when small, which causes them to grow more thriftily. November or February is the best tinje to transplant. So much for grafting. Let me add a word about manure as it is a matter of the greatest importance to the successful farmer. There is no farmer who may not by judiciously employing his fspare time, add largely to his manure heap, and also to his corn pile and cotton bales. Keep your stables well littered with muck, leaves, 6traw, fence scrapings and ditch banks. This will make your fences last longer, and your ditches perform their functions better. * Keep your cattle yard well littered with leaves and mud. By this means a large quantity of excellent mannre may be made. This is a matter much neglected by fanners generally.? One would think from the careless manner in which cow manure in our country is permitted to go to waste, that it is .worthless. To think so would be to make a very great mistake. "" Further, each family should have a pen or sink" into wliioh the refuse of the yard, viz; chips, leaves,.soad suds,slacked ashes, and sweeping should be thrown to mix and decompose, thus forming an excellent fertilizer. " I advocate the raising of abundant supplies of provisions for home consumption ,pn each plantation. I believe in sowing wheat, rye and oats on lying out lands. Labor is too uncertain to admit of our depending on cultivated crops exclusively. In this way we can raise more and better stock, enable ua to make more manure, which in turn will enable us to raise better crops of corn and cotton, and to improve our lands and live more.at our ease. The practice of hiring a large number of laborers to cultivate barren fields in cotton, neglecting the production of grain, and purchasing provisions, will luring us to bankruptcy unless discontinued. I will close by. sayings that you can make any use of these remarks hastily'thrown together you may see fit, or. send them to the waste basket. Yours, respectfully,1 . John B. Garris. - i Tlie Crop Prospectr Throughout our entire trip, June 8, 9, There is no. work on the farm or plantation "khore troublesome than fodder. puIUjigv- and none in which there are more ^i^^nd. anxiety. and losses from bad Wfea^ef*^tb&rrJ fodder-pulling. If in -_\ "iWditipn itis n - losing business, however successfully done, planters ought to kno^v it. It is to be hoped, some who are careful and competent will make tests during th? coming summer and give others the benefit of the result. * A few acres in drilled corn sown af thick as three bushels por acre on good landj Jtad* grass on wet bottoms, ample oat crops, with pea vines, millet, cral grass, and -a-few %creu in clover, will b( fonidioipay infinitely better in the enc 0 . lhan .confining our forage crfip to the on( ' %em ^fcorn .blades, at the expense of the corn itseff.?Banner of the South. i-t.v-Tff , , Plant largely of Ruta Ba^as. Fron the middle to the last of this month h the proper time. w 10, from Columbia via Augusta, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Huntsville, Tuscumbia to Memphis and thence 20 miles.below on the great river into the State of Mississippi, a distance of 720$ the crops were very promising. Returning from 8 to 12 days after, a wonderful rapid growth could be marked as having taken place. Not a single field appeared to be suffering for rain. In some sections there had been too much rain, and it was probably on this account that several fields or sections appeared, in danger of being choked with weeds, and grass. Should the rain continue to fall a while longer as it had for some days previous, some of the fields wo saw will have to be given up. But, taking.it all in all, the crops through these sections of those States may be pronounced clean as well as vigorous.? The farmers are in good heart, and all considerate people are surely thankful for this great goodness to the Father of mercies. The best remains to be told, via: The general and manifest increase of the number of broad acres appropriated to corn. It is hoped that this good sense, which has cost so much and has so long time coming, will not hereafter be choked out by those false figures and facts which generally rule, ana as often "deceive those who attempt to raise cotton to buy, at high prices *and in stinted measure, those provisions which they arc obliged to have or suffer. Who evei saw everything fat on a place where cob ton is king??Christian Neighbor. Brighter Prospects. At no time since the termination of the war between the States have the prosprospects of the future appeared more promising for our people than at thk time. Tho feverish excitement consequent of the overthrow'ofo'urlaborsysteii and the destruction of property values which bred a rashness of risking every tiling to*retrieve, have given place t( calm and calculating plans. Many mei who left their plantations for cities, t< embark in commercial ventitros, have re turned to their first love. Many , plant ers, who have been overcropping for- th< past years, depending upon luck for sue cess, have this season wisely Jaid thei: plapa according to their means. -Fron every portion 01 bur State the gratifying information reaches us that an abundan corn and provision crop will be made!? The fruit crop is a bountiful one, and wil bring a large sum of money into th * f 1 < >; '>. ? X/>* " ; * , .?+ State. Cotton, it is. true, is backward and looks poor, and area planted in Georgia fully fifteen .per cent, less than of last year. But it is too early to predict a failure to any extent of that crop. The prices ruling^iow have given planters renewed hope and energy, and the prospect is very good for the next spring season opening at eighteen to twenty, cents.? The smaller crop will then bring .a larger total sum than the large ' .crop of last season. In addition to the reasons given above, as the prospects ahead <?us, is the fact as we learn from the cotton factors in our citv,that planters, as a class,, have not asked for half the amount of advances this season that they required last year, they have managed with less than half they bought in 1870, and that half has been purchased at fully a third less rate than paid last year. With an abundance of homeraised provisions, comparatively small advances to liquidate, and the prospects of getting a fair price for their cotton, they have cause to look forward with the hope of better days.?Augusta Constitur. tioiialist. ' J Throughout the largest part of the line of the two Pacific Railroads, the banks of the roads are lined with unending rows of sunflowers; likewise the old stage routes, unused, are covered over with millions of the stalks of this curious wild weed. Where they have come from none can tell. One sage philosopher goes so far to say that this portion of our Western Continent was once inhabited by a savage race, who kept immense flocks of chickens, and the sunflower seed formed their universal food. Be it true qj only a theory, the fact still remains tnat the sunflower, though neglected by all cultivators of the soil, is still one of the most useful of. all plants. Its leaves soon grow to a very large size?large enough to be used as a coverincr for vounsr cab bage and tomato plants "when tender.? The stems afford a very good hop or bean pole;.and when dead in the fall, if cut up and kept in-doors, answer very well for kindling wood. Its seeds make a very fine oil, ana superior chicken food. A southern correspondent says the leaves can be plucked on through the summer without injury to the plant, and dried for fodder or fed to milch cows or horses. He al so recommends it as an absorbent for malaria, and as a preventative of fevers near dwellings that occupy low places. Married Without Knowing It.? A Mr. Thomas Cooper, an Englishman, has published an account of his travels in Thibet, which he visited disguised as a Chinaman. Among his stories is the following : He was inst halting for breakfast, after leaving the Thibetan town of Bathangi when a group of young girls, gayly dressed and decked with garlands of flowers, came out of a grove and surrounded himr someoF them holding his mule, while others assisted him to alight. He was then led into a grove, where he found a feast being prepared, and after he had eaten and smoked his pipe, the girls came up to him again, "pulling along in their midst a pretty girl of sixteen, attired in in a silk dress, and adorned with garlands of flowers." "I had already noticed, " Mr. Cooper- continues, "this girl sitting apart from the others during the meal, and was very much astonished when she was reluctantly dragged up to me and made to scat herself by my side; and my. astonishment was considerably heightened when the rest of the girls began to dance around in a circle, singing and throwing their garlands over myself and my companion." The meaning of this performance was, however, soon made - clear to Mr. Cooper. He had been married without knowing it. At first he tried to escape the liability entailed upon him, but such an outcry was made by all the people around that he was forced to carry off his bride. He managed to get rid of her before very long, by transferring her to one of her relations, but even that was not treated as* a dissolution of the marriage. On his way back he was joined by a Thibetan dame, of about thirty year3 old, who announced herself as his wife's mother, and said she had come with the consent of her hus band, to supply hor daughter's placo.? We can well imagine Mr. Cooper's surprise at meeting with this novel proposal on the part of his mother-in-law. 1 No Bait?A superintendent once asked us to take charge of a Sunday school 1 class. " You'll find 'cm rather a bad lot," said he. " They all went fishing last Sunday but little Johnny Rand. He is really a good boy, and I hope his examples may yet redeem the others. I wish you would talk to 'em a little." 1 I told him I would. They were rather a hard looking set.- I don't think I ever witnessed a more elegant assortment of black eyes in my lite. Little Johnny Rand, the good boy was in his place, and f Vmiled on Him approvingly. As soon ? as the lessons wero over I said: . . "Boys, your superintendent tells me f 'you went fishing last Sunday. All. but i little Johnny here. "You didn't go, did - you Johnny:' i "No Sir." , " That was right. Though this hoy is - the youngest among you," I continued, > you will learn from his own lips words of i good counsel which I hope you will all ) profit by." I lifted him on the seat beside me, and - smoothed hist auburn ringlets. 3 .
