Corn For Fodder.

At the North, corn may be sown
for fodder at any time, from the usual
corn planting season until the middle
or end of June, the only requirement
being to allow time for the fodder to
mature sufficiently, which is usually
indicated by the edges of the leaves
beginning to become dry. Northern
corn might doubtless be sown in
North Carolina as late as August, but
the larger Southern sorts, which
grow longer, should be sown earlier.
If the soil is dry, it must be planted
deeper. We have been in the prsc
tice of sowing it for fodder for more
than twenty years, and find no mode
better than to plow and harrow the
ground; furrow it out three or four
feet apart, strew the corn along the
burrows by hand from a basket, at
the rate of three bushels per acre,
and harrow it in. 1t is afterwards
cultivated two or three times by
horse. Cut with a scythe or corn.

The best way to keep young
chickens is to allow the mosner 70
rsmble with them where she pleases.
Thav v will thus secure, according 70
n. anse the heat of the sun, the
cooling cel OF the shade, exercise . air,
and a Variety of suitable 1000. Inc
na~t na~ hest thing is to follow the long
ah,;sbed neAs gs custom of confining the
ben in a coop near the dwelling

oether therein, and got pretty good
fhing and saved his chickens. This
wear we thought we would improve
ON our friends plans. We made a
frame work of similar size, and in
stead of covering if with -slatWork,
We covered it with netting, putting
boards in the ground all round the
bottom, coming up eight or ten IN
cbes. and this was in a light, airy
place, partly under the shade trees.
A box was placed in one corner for
a shelter. We put in a hen and her
brood of twelve chickens, and never
saw anything do better. We had
lust what we wanted-a safe, cheap
coop, with plenty ofhght and air.
We took a good deal of pride in our
new arrangements, and the cats and
rats found poor picking in our young
flock. For several days everything
went on well; but in this. as in all
things else in this world, we soon
found that we could not be sure OF
avoiding annoyances and disappoint-
ments. One morning we found thatslx
of our chickens had been killed dur
ing the night, and nothing was left be-
hind to indicate how. Wepresume our
wicked friend was weasel. 1t must
have gone through the meshes OF
the netting, less than one inch
square. We propose now to use a
netting of strong twine with very
small meshes, and we believe we
shall then have the best and safest
arrangement for raising chickens
that can be found, the great object
being to obtain for the brood the
greatest quantity of light and air,
without which we are convinced they
do not prosper Albany Cult

THE last Congress passed an act in
cooperating a National Insurance Com
pany. This was wise procee ling,
Nest Of our Life Insurance Companies
have been State organizations, and al
though nearly all of them are good and
worthy of patronage, there has been
something wanting in the fact that
they were not national. A Company
that isues policies all over the country
and invests its premiums in legal Sc
curities, becomes as much national
institution as the subTreaqry, especi
ally when it is under the management
of men like Mr.. Jay Cooke, who have
a worldwide reputation for business
enterprise, honor and sagacity. The
National Life Insurance Company a.
dopted new features which make it the
most attractive as well as safest in the
United States. An advertisement is
published in another column, and our
readers cannot do better than to study
this scheme carefully, and in the inter
est of prudence put policy upon their
lives.

DoEsTIcK's ON THE GRECIAN BEND.

now behold the fair daughters of
my country deliberately striving by
night and by day to deform and dis
tort their 1.-THE and graceful tigers,
and convert themselves into a sort of
human camel, or rather, into an Aus
tralian kangaroo.
The other day Mary Magee my
| country cousin came to visitus. When
came home, at evening, | was glad
to see Mary, but observed something
queer about her. She walked with a
crook in her back, and | thought the
poor girl had beer washing perhaps
the day before, and she had got lame
back. | felt sorry for her, and so went
out and bought one of Sticktight's
Poor MANS Plasters. When l got
home, called her to one side and said,
Mary if you'll get Maria Lemantna
my country c0usin) to put that on
your back to night when you go to
bed, it will take the soreness out of
your bones before morning. 1t will
draw pretty hard and smartsome, but
l guess you can stand it for the night,
and you'd betterstand almost anything
rather than have that back crooked
am truly sorry to see you afflicted so
but this plaster will be certain to cure
you. It's called Poor MANS plaster,
but I'm positive it will do for a poor
GIRL, just as well.
Who would believe the ungrateful
return for my trouble? Mary threw
the plaster in my face, where it stuck
so fast that it pulled out one whisker
by the roots burst into tears and ran
up stairs sobbing out that she was new
er so insuIted in her life. Pretty Mary
Lemantha came down stairs and be-
gan to give me Hail Columbia in the
scolding way and III tell you when
that girl goes in for good square jaw
she can't be beat by anything that
wears black hair.
She told me that l had insulted her
friend and abused her, and she was
going to leave and go right home. l
tried to find out what all the row was
about, and explained to Miss Leman-
tha l wanted to do Mary Magee kind
ness, and had offered her the plaster to
take the crick' out of her back.
"Crick said Lemantha, in her most
vicious and spiteful way. "CRICK -
You must be a fool, that's no crick-
that's the Grecian Bend.
"WelI," said l, whatever you may
call it, Mary Magee has got it bad but
I'm sure that plaster would cure it
before tomorrow morning"
At last, after long series Of scold-
ing on Lemaatha's part the whole
thing came out. The Greeian Bend is
not deformity to be pitied, it is
fashion to be followed.
Can anything be imagined more hid
eous? Just think of graceful well
made woman making a Grecian Bend
er of herself, by cTooking her spine,
humping her shoulders, and strapping
herself into the shape of dromedary
as near as she can!

ANNEXATION To HAYTI AND SAN
DOMINGO Butler, Banks, and other
benighted and besotted lunatics in
Washington, are proposing to annex
the niggers Of Hayti and the Mongrels
of San Domingo, and profess to regard
such annexation as manifest destiny"
and merely a matter of time. But,
like all their craftsmanship" for the
last eight years, they put the cart be-
fore the horse, and lie to the people.
Instead of annexing Hayti and San
Domingo to the United States, they
should say they desire to annex the
United States to Hayti and San Do
mingo, for that is exactly the thing
they have all been at work at since
Lincoln's election in 1860. The Uni
ted States were composed of white peo-
pie, but Abe Lincoln & Co., have sac
riflced a million of lives to reform
this, ard adopt the Mongrelism of San
| Domingo, and therefore, we repeat
| they lie TO the country when they talk
of annexing Hayti, &c, TO the United
States, as they,in fact, are annexing US
| to Hayti.

THE FRIGHTFUL PUNISHMENT OF
SILENCE.-AIr. James Greenwood has
published in London a frightful ac-
count Of the silence system, which is in
operation at the Holloway Model
Prison in London:
1t is an O1fense for prisoner to speak
one word, and he is never addressed
except in whispers, so that he may be
in the prison for two years without
hearing the natural sound Of human
voice. The effect Of this is so terrible
on the mind that prisoners will speak
out in desperation, at the risk of any
punishment, rather than endure the
horrible silence.
The prisoners never see one another,
but remain in perpetual solitude. One
poor wretch, driven to desperation by
nine months solitude and silence,
recklessly broke out in Mr.. Green
woods presence, in these words: "For
Gods sake, Governor, put me in an
other cell F.! Put me somewhere else
| have counted the bricks in the cell l
aIn in, till my eyes ache y
The request of the tortured wretch
was refused.
There is a fine hole in each cell, and
as the warders wear shoes of Indian
. rubber sOles, the prisoners can never be
sure he is alone.
Those condemned to the treadmill
have to ascend twelve hundred steps
every alternate twenty minutes for six
hours. And this in place so hot and
close that prisoners often lose in pres
piration three stones in as many
months. Every day the prisoners are
taken to a chapel SO arranged that they
can see no one save the CHAPLIN,
and him only through an iron grating,
and this is the order of devotion OBJ
served: "Warders are constantly on
the watch, lest for a single instant
they, through the whole of the gervice,
depart from the rigid rule Of eye right
1 They must look steadfasIy at the
| preacher, must raise and lower their

and all at once, like soldiers.-They

Nor NECEssARY.-A good anecdote
is told of a lady residing in Lancaster,
Ohio, which will 90 to repeat. The la
dy delighted in the healthful and ex-
hilerating exercise of horseback riding,
and on one occasion her husband pur-
chased and presented her a magnifi-
cent riding horse, just such a steed as
suited the lady's fancy to 7. a sad
die was Of course next demanded, and
in day or two the lady called at a
saddler's shop for the purchase of the
article. After looking at the different
styles, and inquiring the various prices,
she at length gave an order to the gen
tlenanly proprietor for large saddle,
which was to be ready on certain
day. After giving the order the lady
remained inIthe shop few minutes, in
a kind of undecided state of mind, as if
there was something else she wished
and had forgotten. The proprietor at
length inquired if there was anything
else she wanted. ''0h, no." said the
lady, "there's nothing else | want, but
amt you going to measure me?" The
proprietor, with a broad grin, informed
her that no measure was necessary in
the case, and the lady departed.
