Green Corn Fodder.

Too frequent or urgent advocacy Of this
important crop is impossible until every far
mer has the habit fully established of devot-
ing as much land to it each year as will Of
ford him an abundance of green food for the
summer and large store to be garnered for
winter use. and as that habit is by no means
established, we shall not apologize for fire.
quent recurrence to the importance of COW
ering largo breadth Of land on every farm.
If one person is induced to try small patch
as an experiment which he would not have
done but for our urgency, he will unhesit-
atingly admit ut the end Of the season that
the two dollars invested in The Homestead
was money well spent. We urge this crop
from long personal experience of its value,
for many years we have sown more or less
acres Of il each year, and each year have
been more satisfied Of its value. Indeed we
could not do without it, rs the amount of
stock upon the farm could by no other means
be maintained. In the last season we had
seven acres under this crop, and from the
time we commenced to cut 1t in July until
the frost came. the two feeds day that
were given to some twenty head Of neat
stock was more than half their maintenance,

and IN abundance of food for winter was
gained to the great mving Of hay. 1t was
impossible to tell tho amount realized from
these seven acres, a. much was cut before Il
was full grown and It was fed irregularly,
but that the crop was large and valuable
admits of no question. If you are short Of
pastunge don't drive your cattle from home,
but SOW corn and you will DO able to keep
them and refrain upon the farm the advan-
tages that large stock affords. A very
large percentage of this crop is gained from
the air, and being cut before the grain is
perfected, II Is not exhausting. Let every
man try it this year.-IAe Homestead.
We view all information upon the subject
of corn fodder as very valuable, especially
at present, when the decision Is to be made
as to crops to plant.

cry and ruin. The narrative tina, follows,

Rev. ". MEAD: l embrace the first OPP
porluniiy Of reporting to you, and through
you to the Board Of the Ladies Mission,
the result Of my piesent western tour.
On the afternoon Of the day AFTER Christ
mas, one thought seemed TO persade the
minds Of the hundreds at the mission at The
Five Points. Near thirty were soonto bid
farewell 10 all thai was sad or joyous 10 them.
Brothers and sisters, and parents were there
10 take the last look and press to the bosom
for the last time thos, who are as dear TO
them rs are the kindred Of the fihh avenue.
Pove,ty-nolhing but poverty made some
hearts bleed. and severed, in many instan-
ccs the deares, and icnderest earthly icla-
tons. How paiafully solemn the trust. when
the weeping father and mother LED their
child to me, and gave it M, trusting to me
its future interests! They weP, over it
and kissed it, and turned away 10 their des-
olaie abode Of poverty, conscious that they
should see i: no more. Blu, il was also
