CORN AND CoRNSrALK.

The Editor OF the American Farmer, in
his October advice TO farmers. thus. talks
upon the subject orCornsalks and Corn
which. as il contains, like most OF the
hints. of the editor Of the Farmer. a good
81 a. ..oi practical sense, we transfer il t.
our culumns for the benefit Of our readers:
CoRNsTALKs.-If short Of long proven
der for your cattle, have your cornstalks
cut into inch or hall inch lengths. and
steam them. and bushcl will be good
feed for asscow or an OK without hay. We
have seen them prepared in a very simple
way-a neighbor Of ours had an oblong
tight box made. which had top to it; he
filled this box with GU, stalks. poured over
them pot oil boiling water. shut down the
lid, put weight upon il and thus cooked
them with the steam. By the time the
water became milk warm the stalks were
sufficiently cooked to be ted TO the cattle.
In the portion allotted for his milch cows
he had bran or mill feed mixed, and in
this way he managed TO keep his stock al
ways in thriving condition, with very little
use OF hay or fodder. .-s',..
SELLING CoRN.-SeW M Corn IN the
ear-hsve all that you sell She|ted--a
hand shelling MACHINE will answer if your
crop is a small one--if large, get one to.
be worked by horse Power--neither will
cost a great deal-and we are very GER
tain. that the c0bs. if crushed. steamed,
and fed to your cattle. will be worth more
to'you in a single winter. than the price
of corn sheler, whether you get small
or large one. We believe there is one
third as much nutriment in a bushel of
cobs as in a busheI1of the grain, and we
do know, that cows or oxen fed upon three
pecks of the crushed and steamed cobs,
in addition to their usual quantity of hay,
tops, or fodder. WILL KEEP FAT. Then
vhy haul your corn cobs 10 market TO be
girem awdy? 1t costs you as much to car
nv bushel Of cobs TO market as it does u
bushel Of corn. Sell your corn, leave
your cobs at home, to nourish your cattle.
and through them your land, and where
YOU send one bushel Of corn you will be
able to transport tire for the same money.
Look this subject fai,lv in the iace-con
suit conomy--consult the comfort of your
cartle-consult the wants of your soil, and
you cannot fail to take our advice.

BORROW WHEN YOU CAN, BUY
WHEN YOU MUST.

! wish (says Bill Borrow of Lendville,
in the Massachusetts Ploughman.) to en-
force the above text. What is the use of
buying everything you wantl 1t takes a
good deal Of money to do so. If your
neighbor will purchase only some of the
tools and papers. perhaps another neigh.
Dor will buy some other; so you can man
age by borrowing OF all within borrowing
distance. Well, this was my doctrine
if no, in so many words. in fact in practice.
But before long found farmer A. was
reading the Ploughman just when wanted
it, and Jim Jones wanted to chop whenev.
er | wanted to borrow his best axe, and
Sam Hill was just going TO use his horse
when sent for him, and Captain Slocum
was just going to use his planes and au.
gurs when had anything TO mend. and
Bill Stubb was just going to use his chains
when | wanted them. Sam Smith was
just going to get his oxen shod when
wanted to borrow them, and Tim Simpkins
was just going TO digging rocks when
wanted his bar. And thinks to myself, I
am just going to get them there things for
myself and no mistake. And | got 'em.
and big load is off my stomach. And
some how all my neighbors look cheerful.
and are just as willing to lend as nothing.
And on the strength Of my experience, |
have reversed the text, so that you may
read it now, "Buy whom you can, and bor-
row when you must" ..... .. ,...

BEHAVIOUR IN CoMpANY.-Hugh Rich.
mond gives the following excellent advice
to his daughters:
"Be cheerful, be not giglers. Be seri-
Gus, but not dull. Be communicative. but
not forward. Be kind, but not servle.
Beware Of silly, thoughtless speeches, al
though you may forget them, others will
not. Remember Gods eye is in every
place, and his ear in every company. Be.
ware Of levity and familiarity with young
men. modest reserve, without affectation,
is the only safe path. Court and encour.
age serious sconversation, with those who are
truly serious and conversable' and do not
60 into valuable company without en-
deavoring to improve by the intercourse
permitted to you. Nothing is more un.
becoming, when one part Of a company
is engaged in profitable and interesting
conversation, that that an other part should
be trining, giggling, and talking compsra.
tive nonsense 10 each other" ~ i''aT9g.
