in last issue; it, is the heat variety now grown; 
the cultivation is precisely like that of corn 
and it is worked up in the same manner as 
sorghum. 3. There is nothing to ho done 
with the corn stalks hat to leave them to rot, 
which they will do through the summer; and 
so get them ready for use in the fall. It is a 
poor way to use corn fodder. It would pay 
to buy and use a fodder cutter, and run the 
stalks through it, before they arc given to 
the cows. The waste is then tine and can be 
used early in the spring for manure. 4. It can 
be nicely bound for $1.50

Plant, the leaves of which die nearly as fast as 
they grow, and he asks 1, the cause; also, 2, 
what soil Is best for such a plant; 3, how 
should the slips be taken off; 4, does it need 
much water. 
Ars.— 1. Examine the roots. It is probable 
they are attacked by worms or grubs. 2. Sandy 
loam; but almost any soil will answer. 3. The 
offshoots should he taken off in spring or fall, 
or. if under glass, at any time. 4. No. 
7 WS 0, f LovettsttHli’., Loudoun Co., Vn., asks 
u lint do we think of the now works of Conrad 
Wilson : would we advise him to get them to 
become a more successful farmer. 
Ans. Mr. Wilson lias studied farming 
th rough a long life. Just exactly what view of 
farming he proposes to discuss we cannot at 
this moment tell. Special views of fanning 
are all that can be taken in small works—the 
subject, is one of an immense deal of cubic 
contents, if we may so speak.
