AGRICULTURE. ???* TM* IM4TO* (MAM.) m*. 1IBIJKP FOR A SHORT CHOI* OP CORN. Travelling lately through tlio county, 1 have discovered, and from thoinformation of othors a it satisfied, that the crop of coi n now grow ing will he much shorter than the late one. As a relief to (he poor (and indeed to tlic rich) I am induced to lay before the community a cer tain remedy for'the saving of thousands anil tens of thousad* harrelH of corn, that every year are unnecessarily wasted in feeding the numerous home* and work cattle tliut are an nually used by the farmets of our country. 'Hie saving herein alluded to is not a Hfteculntiw ojiinioh* but is the result of my M'prrientf du rin?cth?-\un)Kent vear; and u ith me and my posterity to th^ end of time, even if corn were at half a crown th?* hushcl, the present mode of feeding should continue. I have mow limn twenty horses, including old and young, mid eight work oxen on my dwelling plantation, and since christmas not one bushel of corn have they ! e, unless by my three road horses. Many of my neighbors will tell you that my horses never looked so well ; and 1 posi tively assert, that never since I Imvc been a far mer ditTfny stock of horses and cattle do their labor with so much ease to themselves,and plea sure to me?never were thev so healfiy and so well to look at. A doybt last fall whether I should have corn enough for my own consump tion, drove t<? the experiment hercii related, jitid u s?!"?;iry and profitable one I have foiled it ?it enabled me to sell several humlr?d barrels of corn. Mv top-fodder I carefully saved, and had it cured a- jreen ;n the corn would allow : this wan ti.e food that my horses were fed with. I hud it cut pretty line in a chopping box, filled a Inrge trough " ith it, and ovei- it sprinkled some water and a small quantity of bran or shorts : this thev de\mired with more voraciousness than 1 ever ??,itn?,s?ed in horses at their food : a re fuse of the bat-ends would sometimes be left, when I ' ad it taken out every morning, and i;i ven to tiic work cattle and inilch cows, whiih would leave their other food id' hay husks or straw to light for this. AN"ill you believe me, when I av^rl, that at my dwelling plantation w?* i.u!ti\nte .>.10,000 corn hills, (iifioot 1 BO a i.the tops of which were entirely fed away in the above manner, not one armful being used in the common wasteful i.iode ! The blades of toy corn were principally used in the same way. i iwul a* coot I a crop of clover and timothy hay ns ever went into a liorse rack, yet so much did inv horses prefer the chop slulf, that the racks were Mrldom empty, not oftener than once, and at most twice a week. hr.me will a?k, where are we all to get brail or shorts r I will tell vou how I get enough to last mv horses from Christmas until my flushing for fallow will be completed, last wiuter I hail abo'it a thousand liushels of old indifferent ( aif the preceding years crop, whirh 1 had iltnnufii''tared into Hour uud sold, the bran and \ shorts of w hich Imve supplied me ever since, and are not vet used. This plan I shall adopt so long as ( live, unless I can make annual con tracts for a supply, on suitable terms j in doing I which, there will perhaps be but li'tlc difficulty. Hut those who do not like that trouble, or to whom it may be inconvenient, have always ? remedy at hand, and by the bve a better substi tute. You can have meal; and one ?|>;nrt is a sufficiency for one. horse for the day and night,'] which is certainly much cheaper than thirty years of corn for your horse per day when idle, and tl'.e double of it when working. The great advantage in top fodder is the sweet juice it contains, and which wlion chopped up, w et and sprinkled with the offal of wheat or with meal, keeps your horse in good hen'th, and full, gives M# I iair a good complexion, and. keeps his skiu loose. It multiplies the litter of your stable se veral fold. Now in the time to nave your fodder t and ifj from tho wnot of lulnir yo;i arc unnlilc (uh often happens) to Have both topi and blade* without injury to the one or to the other, let the blades lie lost or injured 5 for there iv no comparison of value between them, (he top* beinjr the most nutritious. Ho confident am I of tlio impor tance of the top fodder, that I Itelievc it, alone and without mixture, (oxcopt with h little water) ,111 sustain a horse or fatten a bullock, better Mi the usual mode of corn, &c. Tkere in in ftcticc and lias been ever niiir.e the luttlemunt the country, a roost wasteful methyl of fced ||n? work oxen with corn, of which they con? |sumo an immciiHO quantity. TIi'h i? kad erono I my, an well aa injurious to tl^eae useful noiinuU j for when they are fed with corn, it passes thro' them, (one tialf of it at leant) undigested t the cause of which ia that they have not long food enouf^h In them to arrest the corn in it* passage until it performs ita intended purpose*. Nor can you prevent it, while you keep up the corn feeding system 1 Work cattle or fattening cat* tie* ought to be fed on nothing but hay annchop ned fodder } or, if vou wish them to have grain, It should be made fine and mingled with their drink. Thin will add very much to their fat -1 tening, and a quart per dny in enough, lint if, you feed them on corn, they will cat jour hay very limitcdly indeed, be it ever so good j cat* tie, if feeding for thu butchers, or work stears mu?t be kept full of something, and corn will not fill them, though they eat until they leave at overy meal. llor*ca are very much of the a&uie nature. If the above advice ia pursued, thousands of farmers who anticipate purchasing of corn will have an abundance 1 hundreds who think that perhaps whh close reeding, Icc. thev will have enough to sujiply them, may sell more than half, two thirds, of their crops f and those who think that they shall have a fow barrels to sell may double, treble, ami perhaps quadruple their quantity, by which the markets* *111 to kept fully supplied, ami the purchasers may have it at a" fair prico tlint will no lony^^ygg^em. 1Marengo, (Md.)ftept V?. N. D. On my dwelling plantation I hav? but twelve work horses : they have cultivated for me 360,000 corn hills (about 180 acres) they have trod out 2,000 bushels of wheat and nave flush ed mo nearly three hundred acres of tallow (of which they will do the seeding and all of this work without corn. In cleaning up tho corn Iiouhos I shall clean the shattered corn and make meal of it to complete my feeding fur the year \ I am, and have been for some time, chop* ping my green tops and feeding with tliom. I teg you nil to try the experiment immediately, and test its truth. I slmll make twelve or four teen hundied barrels of corn two hundred of which will supply my wants for the wludc con cern, as we tihaMfecd with corn nothing but the families and hogs.
