TO F \RME11S. 

 Having been informed of the advantages of using the 

 tops of Indian Corn cut as rye straw, to be mixed with 

 potatoes or meal, as a food for horses or cattle, 1 have 

 been making the experiment during the present year. I 

 fmd that my cattle thrive better on this fodder, than ois 

 rye straw, cut and used in the same manner. The corn 

 stalk certainly contains a quantity of farine substance^ 

 and therefore must be highl\ nutritive. Being cut and 

 scalded with a small quaniity of bran, they alVord an ex- 

 cellent mess for ndleh cows la the common way of 

 foddering cattle v\ th 'orn tops, the blades are greedily 

 eaten, but the stai^^ are wa-^ted. By adopting the plan 

 recommended, the whole ahbids aiiutritive food.
