LUCK AND GENIUs.-Sometme we think that
luck, which is accidental is preferable to genius,
which is a wearsome, unfortunate gift of nature.
Luck being the offspring of circumstance may
become fruitful to any one, bringing no pangs
that will ache long, originating no cares that
Shay not be shaken off as dust upon your coat.
Genius suffers from laborious promptings thinks
feverishly over extensive and admirable plans,
and fears and struggles in their execution. The
man of luck saunters, waits, or dashes adven-
tnrously into an enterprise and behold he has
riches or, he has office, power, reputation. But
we hate to see the mere lucky man assuming
more than the fact of his having been lucky,
when to it he owes his station. When one who is
branded upon gilded shore by a crcumstan-
tial wave turns toward the sea and haughtily
claims his deiiverance as due to his capacity to
fOat, he shohld be forced to prove his declara
lions by being Cast into an outward current. The
longer he gazes at the accidental richness of his
place the more he asserts that his own majestic
set brought him there ; and, swelling to the full
lest, decides that he is the real Neptune, the
maker of tempests and the ruler of tides This
IS gross he is nothing but presuming fly, which
bad alighted on the carcass of dead fish and
tas thrown ashore where favorable prospects
awaited it-Sierrd Citizen.

FODDER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The following letter from Mr. Geo. Seaborn,
we'll known as the late experienced editor Of the
Farmer and Planter seems to possess much of
interest to the planting community. Facts are
stubborn things, and the result Of experiments as
detailed below present considerations worthy of
notice.
Mr. Edtor:-I promised you statement of the
result of an experiment made to ascertain what loss
corn would sustain from being deprived of its
blades at the usual time Of taking fodder and also,
whether cutting the corn at the roots, after the
blades become dry to the ear, would lesson the
product.
Twelve short rows, as near equal in appearance
as could be found in the field, were set apart for
the experiment OF the twelve rows, No. one,
four seven and ten were left the blades on until
they were generally dry to the car, and some
stalks to the top then cut up at the roots and
''<hocked' on the field until the other corn was
gathered then hauled in and shocked from the stalk
No two, five, eight and eleven were left with the
blades on, and No. three six, nine and twelve
were stripped of their blades as late as is usual
with us. Now for the result:
No. one, four, seven, and ten, when shclled,
measured four pecks, one gallon, two quarts and
one pints, and weighed seventy and half lbs
No. two, five, eight and eleven measured four
recks, one gallon, two quarts, and one and half
lints, and weighed seventy one and half pounds.
No. three six, nine, and twelve measured four
rccks, half pint and weighed fifty-fvc pounds.
The fodder that was taken from the last num-
bers was carefully cured and kept to itself, and
weighed eighteen pounds, which added to the
corn from which it taken, amounted to seven
ty-thrce pounds, but one and half pounds more
than than the corn alone, from which no blades
were taken, and two and Il half pounds more than
that cut up at the roots. This experiment proves
conclusively to my mind, what | long believed,
that by pulling fodder we deprive the corn of the
weight, or nearly so, of the fodder when cured.
And, furthermore, that we would be better
ployed in making hay than in taking fodder from
our corn neglected to mention in its proper
place that the corn was all well and equally dried
before being measured aud weighed.
