The Farm and Garden
Hints about Saving Fodder.

Farmers. now is the time TO secure
a good supply of fodder for the com
inc winter. Many Of US were obliged
to buy hay and even straw, the past
spring, merely because we did not i'm
prove the proper time to secure suf-
hcient quantity Of our own.
There are but few farms of ole hun
dred acres that would fail to produce
an amount OF hay sufficient to winter
one eoV,. even from the fence corners
Of the grainfeld, and low is the time
to secure It, before the bulk Of the hay
on the farm Is cut. By so doing we
destroy many weeds, and prevent their
seeds from being distributed about the
farm.
Remember the old adage, stake care
Of the cents, and the dollars viii take
care Of themselves Upon the same
principle, take care Of the small patch
es Of grass about the farm first, and
yod viii be sure TO find time to secure
the large meadows. Many farmers
thrashed their grain in the fields last
fall, and set fire to the straw or stacked
it so poorly, that tie rains rendered il
nearly worthless for fodder. This.
gentlemen, is poor economy.
Every particle Of straw should be
put under shelter, or stacked with as
much care as hay, and fed out 70 stock
upon the farm. The manure viii pay
for all extra trouble. u word 10 the
wise is sufficient. D. c.

A Warming -COWs Poisoned by
Wild Cherry,

The Ollie Farmer reports that a
man. having occasion to cut down a
small Wild cherry tree, threw the
branches ever the fence into the road
or common, and that two cows, after
eating the leaves, died within twenty
minutes, and within fifty feet Of the
place. That Prussic acid is contained
in the leaves, &c, Of this tree, we were
aware; but did not suppose it existed
In sufficient quantity TO produce such
effects. The public would be benefit
ed if every circumstance connected
with this case, which tends to show
that death was produced by the cherry
leaves and nothing else, were more
fully stated: also, if any one who
knows Of any facts Of q similar nature

Parent and Child.

Considering the relation Of the pa
rent 10 the child, and the means of in
huenee which the former possesses, 1t
IS scarcely too much to say that the sin
OF the child. which might have been
avoided by faithful parental instruction
and discipline, becomes the sin of the
parent. While the child can be a par
taker Of the parents sin only m its
consequences, the parent may be a par
taker of the SIN Of the child in its re-
sponsibility and its guilt. We are as
much responsible for the evil which
flows from our neglect, as for that
which proceeds from our TOlition. We
may make another our proxy in sin,
not only by engaging him in a wrong
act, but also by refraining from en-
Tightening and influencing him against
It. So We sin in the sins of our unih-
structed children, and make all the
