Corn Cobs, It has? been
pretty accurately ascertained
that thirteen bushels of Indian
Corn in the ear, ground up corn
and cobs together, afford at
least as much nutriment in fee
ding cattle, as nine bushels of
corn without the cobs. The
difference is owing to the great
quantity of saccharine matter
contained in the cobs, as well
as in the additional stimulus
of distention afforded by the
food, which is all important for
graminivorous animals.

"Economy in all things is as

cing more good or at least a
voiding more evil, than can be
accomplished by riding from
one working party, or one over
seer, to another. 1 have men
tioned these things not only be
cause they have occurred to me,
but because, although appar
ently trifles, they prove far oth
erwise in the result.
"To request that my people
may be at their work as soon
as it is light, work till it is dark,
and be diligent while they arc
at it, can hardly be necessary,
because the propriety of it
must strike every manager, who
attends to my interest, or re-

who, on reflecting, must bex c"s've armer, that in a
convinced that lost labor is ne-j 1 , 0 . nventy acres of corn
vertobe regained. The pre-rbf 1 not savc 400 bundles
sumption is, that every laborerlffodder from t,,e ravages of
does as much in twentv-fouri U,.ese 5orm" and tllcrQ JJre
hours, as his strength, vithout!,U,cr armcrs who are surfer-
endangering his health or con
stitution, will allow. But there
is much more in what is called
head work, that is, in the man
ner of conducting business,
than is generally imagined.
For, take two managers, and
give to each the same number
of laborers, and let the laborers
bo equal in all respects: let
both these managers rise equally
early, go equally late to rest, be
equally active, sober, and indus-
trious, and yet, in the course of
the year, one of them, without
l- ii i i ..
pushing the hands under him
more than the other, shall have
performed infinitely more work.
To what is this owing! Why,
simply to contrivance, resulting
from that forethought and ar
rangement which will guard a
gainst the misapplication of a
bor, and doing it unseasonably.
In ploughing, for instance,
though the held lirst intended
for it, or in which the ploughs
may actually have been at work,
should, from its situation, be
rendered unfit (by rain or other
cause) to be worked, and other
spots, even though the call for
them may not be so urgent, can
be ploughed, this business
ought to go on, because tho
general operation is promoted
by it. So with respect to
other things, and particularly
carting, where nothing is more
common, than, when loads
are to go to a place, and oth
ers o be brought from it.
though not equally necessary
at the same moment, to make
two trips, when one would
serve. 1 nese things are only
mentioned to show that the
manager wiio takes a compre
hensive view of his business,
will throw away no labor."
