THE LAWYER AND THE JOCKEY.

The Boston Evening Transcript has
been telling some anecdotes about menu
bers of The Massachusetts bar, and among
Them this:
"a jockey having once Consulted Har-
rison Gray OTIS in a horse case, the latter
sent him a bill of twenty dollars for ad-
vice: The client e~xposiilated, but Mr..
Otis explained 10 him so fully ano so
Blandly the reason of such a charge, how
he had spent years at study; and thou
sands on fitting himself 10 advise in such
matters, that the jockey was obliged 10
capitulate and pay the bill. Not long
afterwards, Mr.: Oils was standing in the
Street, examining a horse that he thought
of purchasing, and. seeing his client pas
sing, called him up and asked what he
thought of The animal. The jockey sci
his hal aslant, examined him on all sides,
~Pronouncing his opinion dogmatically and
then held oft his hand for a fee. 1t was
Mr.. Ois' turn now TO expostdlate, but it
was all in vain; u jockey recounted TO
him at what cost of time and money he
bad fitted himself for judging horse-fleshi
and ended by saying: Come, come, Mr..
DIS, professional men must be paid; my
Charge is only twenty dollars Mr.. OTIS
appreciated the joke and paid the BILL"

CORN FOR FODDER.

We are in receipt of a letter from ]
Payne, Esq. of Plainfeld, written at OUT
request, and which would have been laid
befare the Legislative Farmers Club, il
u meeting had been held as usual last
week, but as there Was no meeting, we
here submit an abstract of il TO our read
ers, and would publish i, entire were we
moi inierdicted.
He states hat the piece OF la I'd on
which the corn was raised was fifteen
square rods; it was in corn the year be-
lore, on il he spread thirteen loads of ma.
nure made uRder cover, which before be-
ing taken 10 the field had 40 gallons OF
chamber leg poured over it. Mangel
wurizol was sown June 9th, and about
the 10Th of July, finding only about one
hundred plants, and millions of weeds, he
turned ii over and put in Virginia White
Corn in drills three feet apart, the gain
lying at the rate of from fifteen to twenty
kernels 10 the foot. Early in August il
was hood, and never after, on account of
its rapid growth. One could noi have
walked through il who did not know which
way the rows ran. 1t was cut Just before
the froSts came, and cured with some diff
fculiy as il was sowed so late. When it
was cut it was hauled TO a she'd loft and
SET up. He was Obliged 10 90 five times
to bring it all, over COMPARATIVELY level
ground, and not over 100 rods from the
barn, with a smart pair of six year old
oxen on a twelve foot wagon, and is con-
fdent that the crop was fire tons. This
would make the crop forty-one and a half
tons 10 the acre. Ii was fed 10 his COWS
between March 2Olh and May 10Th, with
a marked increase in ;hrir milk, as they
had not long before fallen off, having used
up all his stock Of Millet and Oats, and it
was all eaten up cieat.
At another time he sowed half an acre
in drills, as early as the ground could be
worked, with Slowell Evergreen and Asy
lum corn, half The piece with each, owing
to The early aud cold rails ii came up
poorly; the vacancies were filled with
Virginia White aid hoed twice, and upon
The 9Th day of July he commenced cutting
and willing for his COWS; and fed in the
stable eleven COWS and one bull with I'll
they would eat every night; and also fed
four working ken occasionally, which
was no small item. 1t lasted ill the 10Th
of September. Any one can judge for
himself of the quantity. Last year he
had one and a half acres own broadcast
upon sward ground without manure, with
such success that he is perfectly satisfied
that is II of his best paying crops

That carol forth their native lays
From shrub and lofty limb,
And gaily sing their tuneful strains
From morn till evening dim.
Don't shoot the birds, the harmless birds.
That come with bud and flowers,
That soothe the farmers weary toll
Through summers sllGy hours
That build Their nests and brood their young
Beside your cottage door,
And linger near from early spring,
Till autumn's golden store.
Don't shoot the birds, the sportire birds,
That firt DER hill and plain,
That leave when chilling winter comes,
But soon return again;
That MARBLE out their hymns of praise
With many a gleeful voice.
Which claims the daily cares of life,
And bids the heart rejoice
