FEEDING FODDER CoRN.-Charles Strange,
Grass Valley, Pa, asks how fodder corn
should be fed, whether green or wilted. lie
says his grandfather, when he wanted to dry
up a COW, used to put her in lot and feed
her all the stalks she would eat, and did not
milk her, in few days she would be dry
If this is correct, it shows that we now -a-days
have improved on old fashioned modes, for
We feed green fodder and get more milk
The, is a difference in opinion among dairy
men as to the relative value of wilted and
fresh fodder, but SO far as the experience OF
the writer goes, IN feeding, and in our con-
versations with dairy men we have learned
that it is best to feed it when wilted by some
hours exposure to the sun. What is cut in
the morning is fed at night, and the morn
ing's feed cut in the evening. The cows eat
it with more relish, probably for the reason
that fermentation of the juices has occurred
TO some extent.-American Agriculturlst

Why DO ANIMALS NEED SALT Prof James
E. johnson of Scotland says that half the sa-
consists of common salt, and as this is partly
dissolved every day through the skin and kid
neys, the necessity oficontinued supplies of it
to the healthy body is sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda Zone of the in
gradients of salt), special and indispensi-
BILE constituent, and so do all the cartiIages
Of the body. Stint the supply of salt, and
neither viii the bile be able properly to as
sist digestion, nor the cartilages to be built
up again as they naturally waste, 1t is bet
ter to place salt where cattle can have fire
access te it.

GROWING PoND LILIES On seeing my

and fragrance, | asked, why is the pond lily
80 little cultivated a flower so much ad-
mIed and so easily grown, yet in many places
so rare. The answer was Ii is not uni
versally known that it can be grown so easily.
Many ask the question, where did you get
those pond lilies? We tell them we raise
them. what raise pond lilies?' We reply,
ves-raise them as easily as )rn or potatoes.
And as many seem interested about them. |
-hOu ght would tell the lovers of flowers
how raise ours. \ few years ago, my
husband seeing SINE gruwing in distant
pond so nicely and spontaneously, thought
ne would try them in his-a small pond of a
ew rods extent at one end of his field. lie
brought home a root and set it in. This
vas done by wading in barefoot. and taking
between the toes and pressing down in the
mud. 1t soon made its appearance above
The water, and now the pond is pretty well
covered with leaves and lilies, and 1t does
not have that sickening appearance that
standing water usually has, but is made the
home of one of the most beautiful kinds Of
flowers instead. We know Of no inse It that
troubles them neither frost nor winds a.-
iects them nothing molests them but mis-
chiegous boys, who love the flowers but will
not take the pains to raise them. Now
[ would advise all who love this sweet lily to
Lct a root an set it in some pond that they
can have access to, and they will soon reap d
rich reward for little trouble.-Maiue Far

We find in the Report OF the Commits

for the year 1868, II list OF thirty-tve rail
road corporations then existing in that
State, and Of this number, representing
5000 miles Of road, only seven, represent
ing $40 miles Of road, or but one.sixth OI
the entire length, paid interest aud divi
dCnd from the start. Other roads, with
an additional length of no miles subse'
OuCntlv became popular, making the nun.
Der of paying roads at that time some 40
per cent Of the whole length. OF these
latter, however, and Of those roads which
are destined to yield dividends in the fu.
turc, it must 10 remembered that invest.
ing money for series of years with.
out interest very materially reduces
the value of the original outlay,
ind that at times the prospect OF ever
realizing anything from the investment
seemed SO slight that many stockholders
sold their stock at more or less of n sacri.
flee, often realizing but u fraction Of lis
cost. 20 -
We find also that many roads sunk ev.
cry dollar Of their capital stock, the loss
in this way amounting to nearly forty mil.
lions Of dollars.
Other roads were mortgNged for more
than they were worth, thus Cntailing loss
on the part of the holders Of their bonds,
and II would not overstatc the case 10 say
that in Ohio the losses from entire and
partial sacrifice Of stock, md on capital
advanced In the shape Of loans, &c, would
amount to sixty or seventy millions OF
dollars. '...t
