LAMBS IN STANDING MAIZE.
AN" AMERICAN SCHEME. A' suggestion comes .from America to run lambs in a standing, maize crop, where they\live. and thrive at practically no expanse."...They rarely.molest the ears of corn,-but the tender, succulent blades mil furnish them with an abundance of excellent.fejd... After,.,;ih«i' nibbled the blades, from the stalks as' high up as they can reach, they v.'ill go, after the weeds that havo sprung up between the rows since the last cultivation, thus turning the pests into mutton and preventing tTieiri from seeding the field to weeds again for next season. Thisdestruction of the weeds also will leave the..ground free from their obstruction, when it comes time to gather the corn crop. Then, while the lambs are making good.use of tho.blades that are usually lost, and destroying the troublesome weeds, they will bo fertilising the land with their rich,manure, giving it an even distribution over the field; without the vlabbur and expense of hauling it out and 'spreading it.
