THE CORN CROP PROSPECTS.
From tlie Breeder' Gazette.
The condition and prospects of the
com is the most interesting and impor
taut question before a majority of the
luruiuis 01 the cniei live-stock rearing
states, there is always some uncer
tanity concerning any crop until it is
saieiy harvested; but t"dav every favor
able prediction about the corn crop for
this year is necessarily accompanied
with an important "if. "If the frost
holds off long enough tbeie may be a
fair yield. Earld frosts must do incal
culable dauiHge. In most parts of the
great corn-growing belt the 6caon has
not been favorab.e tor rapid-growth
and early maturity, and the fact that
much unsuitable seed was planted has
made the coudiiion still more enfavora.
ble. -
It is to be hoped useful lessons will
be learned. Thi fall, at least, lu re will
be need of especial care iu saving corn
for seed Eais gathered eveu betore they
aie manured aud hung up where they
win thoroughly dry before hard fret-'z-;
iug weather comet will, ordinarily, give
satiblaction as seed. It will be es
pecially desiiabie this season to secure
early-niaturiug corn; aud there is
much difference iu ears of the same va
riety in this respect. It will be worth
while to select seed corn before the
general crop is mature euough ato be
harvested.
The desirability of having at least a
small acreage of some early variety is
also well illustrated this season. The
early varieties are usually smaller and
komewnat less productive than the later
ones; but we count it important to have
at least a few acres of early corn, to be
usvd iu feeding early in the season.
There is lorce in the arguments against
feeding corn until it is mature, but we
continue the practice oi feeding both
cattle and hogs the new corn as soon as
it is in hard roating ear' stage. With
the late varieties this year, this stage
will not be reached until after we like
to have the the steers aud hogs design
ed for sale this fall well under way on
the fattening process.
We hope also that if, unfortunately,
it should prove necessary auother
spriugto buy seed corn, that this year's
experience will lead to greater care on
the part of many farmers in the way
ot selecting more suitable varieties
than they used last spring, There are
thousands of acres of corn in Illinois,
for instance, that were planted with
corn obtained from southern Kan as
and southern Missouri. It seems iuev
itrble that much ot this corn must tail
to mature. Often there is a great de
velopment of stalK ; more than is de
sired, but only an exceptionally long
season can give time for the late-ap
pearing ears to ripen, it mupt not be
forgotten that, say north of 50 latitude.
it is always important to early matur
ing varieties.
what to do with the late corn is ase-
lious problem. We prefer to feul soft
corn in the auiumu rather than to feed
immature, fronted' half rotten corn in
miaw inter. And so we incline to ad
vise comparatively early feeding, even
if the com is not well ripened as
wouid be desired. In case of continued
cool weather with indications of frost,
it may be well to cut the corn, placing it
in rather small shocks. In these, im
mature corn will fairly ripen, aud cer
tainly will be less injured by hard
freezing than if left standing, Of
course this will not often be done
where there are large fields in this con
dition. Feeding corn from the shock
has so many inconvenience?, especially
in unfavorable weather, that large
u umbers of Western farmers have not
accustomed themselves ta the practice.
We cannot but belive that the practice
of cutting the com aud attempting to
make good use of the large quantity of
good food .in the stalks aud leave,
largely wasted when these are left in
the fielii, will become more general. It
is a moderate statement that the stalks
and leaves of corn on an acre of land,
especially if the medium sized varieties
are grown, arc worth as much as a ton
of good hay. Left in the feld, and
with bad weather in the early winter
they are worth comparatively little, ex
cept for manure. X.

utatKAL vaniytck the war
horse from . Otoe county will address
our people at th forthcoming county
fair This is very fortunate as no bet
ter man can be had to talk intelligent!
ana authoritatively to the Cass county
agriculturists. Senator Van Wyck will
be present upon the secoud day of the
fair, and bis many admirers in Cass
coanty will have an opportunity then to
meet him, and those of them who do
not already know him will have an op
portunity to make his acquaintance.
Preparations for the fair are being en
ergetically pushed forward : the build
ings for the stock will he placed in good
repair and. condition, and the exposi
tion building and grounds will be all
that can be asked;., The Herald hopes
to see a general attendance from all
parts of the county, and a JulL exhibit
ion of the grain, fruit and all ' other
products of or rich and prosperous
county. . Especially do we hope to see
the fruit of C .sa county fully and fair
ly exhibited. Let everybody take bold
aud help hold a' good old fashioned
Cart county fair.
Mucn interest has properly been felt
iu lue developmeut of the Western cat
tle trade by the purchase of ranches
aud large lots of cattle by capitalists, of
the Eastern btates and Europe. Iu
connection with this, aud partly in con
si uuence of it, there is an important
change going ou in the mode of mauage-
tuet t the ctttle, a change that will
ultimately be of great leuefit. In m.tny
parts of the West, the day of a.lowing
the herds ot cattle 10 graze on (jovern-
ment land is coming to be a thing of
the past. Lrge tracts are not enly
purchased but are being enclosed with
wire fences, and an approach is made
to the system ot grazing on the large
farms of more thickly-settled States.
The davs ot great round ups and of the
half-civnized "cow-boy" are numbered
in extensive regions in which they
were lte.y distinctive features. . Nat
urally, the ownership of the land and
the enclosing it will make efforts to
improve the character of the stock more
effective. It will be more common to
provide bay for use in winter, -when
needed. Improved bulls can be: pur
chased with more certainty ot getting
a full return; and, in many cases, a
much better stock of. cows and heifers
are bought for these' enclosed -ranches
than it was counted wise to place on the
open ranges. Large portions or Kan
sas, .Nebraska, ami Texas, which were
open range a few years ago, are now
mainly enclosed, and the process is
being . rapidly continued. Breeders
