(Parliamentary Paper, Xo. 14, Sess. 1852.) 



The many excellent properties of Indian corn, as a wholesome 

 nutritious food, and the rich fodder obtained from the stalk and 

 leaf for the nourishment of cattle, inyite more earnest attention 

 from the farmer and planter in the Colonies to its better and 

 extended cultivation. 



Though the average quantity of grain from each acre in the 

 United States is not more than thirty or forty bushels, yet it is 

 known that with due care and labor 100 to 130 bushels may be 

 obtained. 



In feeding cattle little diiference is discoverable between the 

 effects of Indian corn meal and oil-cake meal ; the preference 

 rather preponderates in favor of the latter. 



Corn cobs, ground with the grain, have advocates, but this food 

 is not relished, and swine decline it.
