Corn SOMn for Fodder.

WE have given frequently detailed
directions for raising corn foader-al
ways sowing it in drills or furrows, the
latter being the best, allowing more
breadth for the rows. An inquirer asks
what time 1t should be sownY We
answer, any time in the Northern States
between the middle of May and the
middle of July. Those who use
it for early soiling may SOW it as early
as the weather and soil will allow, early
in May, and if small early corn is sown
quite thickly, say three bushels to the
acre, it will give heavy crop of fine fod
der on good ground by the time of com
mon wheat harvest. But if intended only
for autumn soiling or for fodder, it need
not be sown earlier than the middle of
June, and larger variety of corn will do
better. But never sow less than two or
two and half bushels to the acre.
If the ground is poor, the crop will be
greatly increased by manuring. Coarse
manure may be used to good advantage
on corn fodder. Plow two horse burrows
about three feet apart, fill them half full
of manure by throwing with fork from
the cart or wagon, then strew the corn
along from half bushel basket on the
left arm, at the rate of about three
bushels per acre, and then harrow the
whole lengthwise with the burrows The
harrow will break up the manure and mix
it with the soil, and the seed will be mix
ed with both-it may be scattered some,
but more fodder will grow on wide than
on a narrow furrow, and if few grains
are left uncovered, there will still be
enough for good crop. If the owner
happens to have smoothing harrow, he
may harrow the whole surface before the
corn is up, and two or three times after.
wards; and this operation, together with
the shading of the crop, will leave the
surface as clean and smooth as a floor
after the crop is harl ested
1t should not be overlooked by those
not familiar with this mode of raising
fodder, that two or three times as much
dry fodder may thus be obtained from
land as from good meadow; that cattle
will eat the whole, stalks and all; and that
the stalks will be sure to heat and spoil
with the novice the first year-therefore
begin moderately.-Countyy Gentleman.

Washing Butter.

THIS practice is by some butter.makers
looked upon as injurious, and it is point
upon which diverse opinions are held.
One says, 81 never allow a particle of
water TO touch my butter" 1t is claimed
that by this practice the butter has a
richer flavor that washing takes away.
II butter could be entirely freed from
casein, which even washing will not do
perfectly, it would k ep almost indef-
niiely with good care. But we are told
that unwashed butter contains about five
or six per cent, of casein, willie that
which is well washed win retain about one
per cent of it.
We believe that II is better to wash the
casein than TO work it out, even if work,
ing would do it as well, for the reason
that the less you work the butter the bet.
ter II is. If there were some process
whereby the butter could be extracted
from the milk Immediately after it is
taken from the COW, and the animal heat
is gone, without injury to the butter, the

Soldiers, Homesteads,

THE recent amendments to the Homestead
Act, under which the veterans of our late
Army and Navy can secure free homesteads
of 100 acres near the lines of the great land
grant railroads, by one or two years. resi-
dence, instead of five, is very naturally at
tracing much attention among the soldiers
and sailors. Colonies are forming in many
parts of the country for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the new law, while at the
same time reaping all the advantages of
moving West in organized communities.
The construction of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, now completed through Mime
sofa, has opened to settlers large body of
the best land in the West. This Company
offers very important facilities and advanta
ges to soldiers and others seeking Western
homes, whether they intend to settle on Gov
ernment homesteads or purchase the Com
.pany's land. It's announcement is published

The GETTYSBURG KETALYsINE SPRING. -
Such is the name bestowed upon medicinal
spring which appears on the battlefield at
Gettysburg, which is winning a fame as world
wide as that of the great battle fought around
it. The story of its discovery by the wound
ed in the battle is the projection of one of
the ancient fables into our modern history.
Almost equally fabulous are some of its
cures. Even the medical journals admit that
it is not only remedy for the worst forms,
but for nearly every variety of our chronic
diseases Its waters are being carried to
every part of the world, for they neither lose
their taste or medicinal virtue by bottling or
exposure to the atmosphere. See advertise
ment in another column.

Its entire freedom from alcoholic spirit,
which retards and neutralizes the effect
of any medicine, and which forms the
basis of many of the pseudo bitters and

IA Grant is practical; Greeley is theoreti-
cal. Grant is tolerant; Greeley is intolerant;
Grant trusts absolutely only those whom he
knows to he trustworthy; Greeley is contin-
ually being victimized by sharpers. Grant is
reserved; Greeley is talkative. Grant is res
olute; Greeley is vacillating. Grant reflects
before he acts; Greeley is moved by impulse.
Grant is modest in the expression of his
opinions; Greeley deems everybody a fool
who does not accept his frequent vagaries as
the products of a profound philosophy.
Grant is generous; Greeley is selfish. In
short, the two are antithetic, and have little
in common except personal honesty and a
love of Republican liberty under the guaran-
ty of law. Where they differ is precisely
where Grant is Greeley's superior.-S. Louis
