Within tbe limits of thisverv short stale of transition fioin conl'rituing growth lo death, it is true dial fodder might he pulled wilh aafely lo the grain. H it there would not be half lime enough for llie hart est, aud u. ore over; it Would llien have lost most of its ordinary value, by standing so long. The . general rule for bigiiiiug lo pull fodder, is when the outer ends of the grains of coin have become depressed, or indentations are formed (in our ordinary aolt ground corn,) by Ihe partial drying of the grain. Hat after that slate baa ifrived, ihe heart and interior of ihe grain are still very anfl, and often milky. The leaves also, (unless "fired" or premature ly faded by drought.) are still green, and would so remain, and afford morn nourish ment lo ihe plant for some days if not weeks, after tlie usual lime of removing them all which operation kills Ihe plant immediately, Tbe diminution of llie product of grain caused by taking off the green laaves, though o little regarded in genenl, has long been a subject of discussion, and in some degree al- of experiment. Siatenienta of experi ment, and arguments founded thereon, were pryiented in various articles in vols. 2 and 3 of Ihe Farmer Kegistrr. All c.f these .wri te r and experimenters (with but a s'ngle ex ception, of a very loose observer who nearer,. 1y deserved being there quoted.) agreed in tbe general result of there being very great loss to incurred.

The cul sluliblu is not much in ihe w ay of the ploughing and burrowing. I havo ploughed under s ich slubble, for s.m ing w heat, tt iih oul cultiur ttiem olf; but cutting iheui is ihe belter way. Attlrtnime prrsrri'rpt'or'CnTri'tig 'dowii'ih'e eurn, llie leaves are indeed much passed iheir prime condition, of value as fodder. Iii adili lion, all the leaves on die high stubble are lost, as provender. Of course, Uio remainder, put into shocks, is not equal in quaiiliu;, nor in quali ty, widi iht corn "fodder sated as usual. FuTiher--the omsides of all ihe. shocks are spoiled as provender, and merely serve to shelter the inside from sun and rain. ftiih there are advantages fully eompetiriating these losses of value in the long provender, besides rhn fno'ttlmprtnaHr -benrnts of aatving "fflflfe than half the labor, and avoiding the usual and great daiiiage to tlie 'grain.'' In tlie first place whatever ramnins green of the leaves, and also lliq sUiirka nirl stalks arc imniedi ately placed in the shock, mid cured in ihe shade. This must) retain for tlia leaves and shucks as provender, an 1 perhaps also for the stalks as manure, more of iheir streneth, than when exposed as in the usual ,aW-. .-,lailii,i!4irUvi'udJji,, .,, ttXpoast.A m.. small bundles for 43 hour".

"There can be no question of the superiority of tho shadi-r-uring of all kinds of green provender. Secondly as the sl dks when cut down are immediately shocked, and as ihe shocks are almost impenetrable by rain, the fodder is all (except the oiluidesof ihe shock's) SiVured al once from all danger cf had wnaiher. In llie long coiiliniird ordinary fodder-pulling, nl! ihe rain that may fall must he received on some portion of iho exposed fodder, and llie risk ol loss from rain is nearly of as much account as the whole labor in good weather. A new beginner of the mode recmnrnentled is apt to err from being ovcruiious.in one respect, and lo make his shock Ion small and loo open, 80 that they admit driiiug rains, and are much more apt lo fall than if built larger, and the stalks set more closely al bottom. Aceordiiig to my experience, ihe fodder is bettcipr'i served in moderately large shocks than in'fniull.and there is no niorr danger for lhe"j;am. But whethrr larger or smaller, the shocks very rarely admit rain so is'oshow any iniurv llierefrt m. In Kentucky. spares of 1 6 corn hills square (2S0 stations or el usters.) are allowed for each shock. (,ori being planted at 4 feet by 4, the usual dis tance there, und three stalks lo the bill, would make 10 shocks 10 the acre, and an average of 708 stalks to the shock. ' My shocks are not of such regular sizes, nor usually so large. This season 1 counted 181 shocks on a quad rangular part of my field, of no: quite 10 aorcs. yielding about 30 to 33 bushels to the acre. These shocks were made on tlie third day ffora the beginning of cutting down ihe corn. and of course when it was at nearly or quite the greenest slate ol any. 1 heo shocks have kept both fodder and corn in as good condition ns need be. The only excepiious are, that in ihe middles of utune of Utu urger shocks the fodder 011 some few stalk" is moul dy ; and in the largest (and too large) shocks, aud in very rare cases, some ear 11U0 had moulded-early, though they had not rolled, and had become quite dry before being put io the cart. Probably these mouldy ears, if not all the. stalks green when cut down: l-or latterly 1 nave had none of 'the greenest left for latler iecu- ring. When, a few scattering late plants are left alaxidiiiff, tb v ye my liable to be Mown down, and lo Irf fi'id Jen iii ihe weeds or pea titles, and o rotor be lost. ..To avoid such loss, and also the trouble of a scoarite gilher- inT frm the few file sulks, 1 prefer lo rul them down with Ihe nprrhulk; of the crop. But. ol couise, when such green stalks are cut down, the soft gram must brink, though not more it than if the fodilor (lad all been taken off aud" the stalk left' atamrmg. ' And this ia done in- the usual operation of pulling fodder, as if is impossible In make ignoraiii and careless hands omit stripping or rutting thetopar.tif.tliB .loo. iccn. plants Further the Iik green earn, whert Cat down and put in I the middle oi' a shock, even though the f rain way noi snow perurptibla lots by linnkiug. will be apt to bo louche.! with mouldiness. just as the eats are when gathered much I ta (though at. 11 not dry enough for housing) and shocked and put away in die barn. In any mode of 're' tiring, many cars are a!was found n otihjy, and many Mlteti, All such Cases, taken together, are. believed lo be not only as lew, but fewer, in my inodu of shock ing com, than in any other more usual mode of taking care of iie rrop. For if, ' after ta kitigull lie: fodder blades and lops, the e rn stalks are rut down aud shirked, as usual, to sow wheat, ihesn flat lopprif shocks do pot exclude rain. The ears of com are nol only exposed to rain, but are so closely compacted together thai they dry with difficulty. And when made large, as required for convenience, I have known serious damage to the ears.ear ly in the shocking, by ihu corn moulding; and in other cases, still greater lato damage from rolling, in a very rainy season, and with consequent hue gathering. And if wheat is nol to succeed the Corn, and so the corn ia left standing singly on ti c stajks until pu.Ucd.4iif' for carling in and housing, iliero is a differ ent kind, but as great risk ol loss by rottirW ears, for many small ears arc broken off in the labors of taking olf and removing Ine fodder, and whiyJr being mostly left on the e round, rot oficoufsc." Many other aialks fall, or are bloivlilsrwn, and their ears touch ing ihe earth, arc more or less damaged. Kaiii enters many of die gaping shucks audit. jures iho exposed grain.

Wiis don? inighl IVavc been dispensed widi, a llie fine weaiher would have soon lined the shocks. Still ihe fodder of all the shocks, put up before this wet spell, wa considerably injured. lliotwjh nol more o than would hat e occurred lo pulled fodder, in iho same uncommon we: wcatrTo that " time,"" I had cut off the whne tongjth of aialks, and the stalks wcreel more--ruiurlouiid ihe snppoits, more open, and of course" the bases of ihe shocks were broad er and die sides more sloping, than in my la' er practice. The then different construction served lo admit diiving ra n more freely. 'or ihe remainder of -lhn season of 1811, and in the four vrar:'iticK I hate aimed to proSt by ifie lesson of aonjjtff then learned, and lo avoid the worst error then committed: and no lubsequent damage, or loss, worth consider ation, nrgreatcr than would have been suffered in any other procedure, ha since occurred. I he stalk are cut higher, and made to stand more upright, and the shocks stand much bet ter. (Smaller bhocks also conlain many more stalks when cul high than low. 1 he cutting of stalks i not premiiicd' when ihey are wot with rain, or w'nh heavy dew; or if eut, or ly ing wet, Ihe middle of hocks (say 150 lo 200 stalks) only are put up. and aland to dry, be fore more stalks are added to complete the shock. Care should also be used (and has not always been, in my operations,) nut to em down eom before the lima above proscribed. arid the green stalks necessarily included iu ihe gencr d cutting, nut tu be placed in the middle of the shock. The base of the shock ought nol lo be more than 9 feet in diameter. With these requisites observed, Ibis oheratim will be faund as safe as any other subject to Itie inllnence ol ihe weamer. The only serious difficulty that I have found. iTnol in respect i either the torn or the fodder so long a remain ing in the shocks, hut of the fodder afler gslh- ennff the corn, tjefore ihi year 1 have atar.' ed lliesUfks (after pulliiig off or shucking out the eanAin long and tall rick.

So far a there ia house room for llie stalk-fodder, of course there is no difficulty iu its preservation. In ihe cutting down corn lo sat e tlie fodder. there ara two incidental advantages. One is, if wheat is lo follow the corn, as is usual, ibal the operation for saving lha fodder also cleans the land of the corn which i of itself a con siderable labor, required merely for the sow ing of wheat, when the fodder haa been saved separately and hi odtanre, u in the nrdiuarv procedure. l'ho ground ia also cleared miieil sooner on llie former plan. This would allow, il the teams ate not oiberwist more profitably engaged, the land to be plotighrd, (except the narrow strips occupied by the shocks,) four to six weeka before seeding time which earlier ploughing would serve not only to lighten and advance iho labor, but greatly improve the preparation for and lha product of the wheat. Another advantage, .whether wheal it to follow or not, attends the ptan recommended, when the native pea is planted or sown among die corn, sa a secondary crop, whether for gathering or fora manuring crop. The removal of ihe shading com crop gives all Ihe land and fho sunshi.uejo the pea crop, and greatly to qhe benefit of its growth. Thia is a very im portant benefit to this secondary crop, Ihe cul ture of which has been rapidly extended of late in lower Virginia. From the llkhuiond Dispatch. 11 U SSI A AND KNC'LANH.
