Corn Fodder East and West.

An Illinois correspondent of the Ger
mantown Telegraph sends that journal the
annexed interesting definition of what is
meant by corn fodder in the different
sections of the country:
We are reading many articles in nearly
every paper about corn fodder. The term
is not always used for the same kind of
stock food. East it means sometimes
sowed or thickly.drilled corn cut and
cured as hay, or the corn cut up as cured,
and corn taken off as soon as dry enough
to keep, and the whole put in the barn
for winter use. South it means the corn
leaves stripped from the stalks below the
ear, bound in bundles, and stacked in the
field around pole; also, the stalk above
the ear cut off and shocked around hill
of corn, both left in the field until wanted
for feed. West ii means cutting the corn
at the ground, sixteen hills square, max
ing shocks that two will make good
two-horse load The object in Southern
Illinois is to prepare the land for wheat
and have the stalks out of the way. The
fodder is fed out in winter when the
ground is dry or frozen, the corn being
first shucked out In Middle and Northern
Illinois and all cattle-feeding Western
States it is fed, corn and all, to fat cattle.
This mode Eastern farmers would call
wasteful, yet very little is lost. Fat cattle
take the first, stock cattle next, and stock
hogs CLEAN.
Eastern farmers feed their stalks in the
barn, cattle eating nearly all the stalk.
AT the West, two feeds will leave the man.
ger tull OF stalks as large as hoop-poles,
that make better stove-wood than cattle
feed
| do not wish to be understood that
Western corn fodder is not an important
article of food but it is not of so much
importance here as in the Eastern or Mid
die States. If fed with the corn off, it is
twice as much work to shuck the corn as
it is to do the same standing Then, too,
the standing stalks and straw stack are
usually enough to feed all the cattle and
horses on the farm in dry weather. AS to
the benefit of corn-stalkS as manure, we
are getting advantage of that in an easier
way than handling two or three times. 1t
is by the use of rolling stalk cutters, sew
ering the stalks niEe inches to foot in
length as fast as the team will walk, one
or two rows at time. This plowed in
keeps the land light during the season,
and the stalks are not in the way.
My object in this article is that Eastern
and Western men may understand what
corn fodder in each locality is, and not
debate the question in which both are
right and the object the same, to be of
benefit to farmers generally. But in many
cases Western farmers cannot follow the
advice of Eastern writer's, and it is best
that those who have not seen things both
East and West should know which advice
to follow.

the door through which he first en-
tered, and took from pigeon-hole small
package of papers, and sitting down by
me opened the mess, for they seemed to
be in confusion-a letter or two, half
written sheet Of torn paper, and one or
two other things that looked like bills.
"I'm hunting for Blair's commission"
he said, which Just then he espied. 1t
was the smallest size of visiting card, say
three inches long and little over an inch
wide. On it was written, as near as | re
member:
"Pass the bearer through our lines.
GA. LINCOLN"
This ridiculous little strap he assured
me was all the commission which Mr.
Blair had received. He said that Blair
thought that something might be done,
and so the President had no objection to
letting him try. If anything should come
of it, why, the Government could then
Judge what it would be best to do. A
considerable conversation followed, in
which he pointed out the situation of at
fairs just then, and it was while in the
midst of the talk that band was heard
approaching and the tramp of feet.
He rose and said: az believe there's
to be deputation or something and they
expect me to say something. Come
along" He laid his hand in kindly
way on my shoulder, as if to keep me
from Sinking, and went to the front win
dow and addressed few kind and home
ly words to the crowd. l babe him good
night, as it turned out, forever; l never
again saw him.--H. W. Beecher, in Neso
York Ledger.

Not Quite Dead.

dow many times within the past two
gears has the country been assured that
the Republican party is dead? Why it
continues to live in the face of all the
collins chat have been made for it we can
not quite make out 1t cannot have very
strong appreciation of its friendly
mourners Scarcely two years ago y
great many distinguished journalists"
decided that the Republican party was as
dead as a herring, and they went to Gin
cinnati to bury it. There was a big grave
dug, but there was some misunderstood
ing about the party or parties deposited
in it. The Republican organization
walked off as if nothing had happened
Che :" dog it was that died" Who was
ii .has sung the Heart Boloed Doom as a
funeral marchY One Mr.. Bowles, of
Springfield, Mass, can tell us, for he took
handkerchief and mopped up the tears
Of the melancholy vocalists
Many things have happened since then.
The Cincinnati people became convinced
by the second week in November that the
Republican party was not quite So dead as
hey imagined, and they have done 1t the
honor of attacking it many times since,
Just as if it were really alive, But there
IN sun one quarter III which lut ptlltl
fingers that MIR Greeley was elected in
1872, and that the Liberals are gov
ernng the Country-aud that quarter is
the Tribune Office. Pretty nearly every
thing has gone to pieces there--a paper
once powerful does not circulate now
over 10000 copies day, influences no
o, inion in any direction, and takes pay
for its advertisement in kind-oil for an
oil advertisement and SO on Certainly
this is great change, as Mr.. Greeley
would think, But still the strange person
who did SO much to bring about the ruin
Of Mr. Greeley is convinced that the Re
publican party is dead, He ia always

n totally new batch of exposures. but
found himself compelledt TO swallow them,
Yesterday he announced for. the thou

bility of regular chemists and not sold
without physicians prescription. AR.
seniC, the acid nitrate of mercury, tartar
emetiC, cantharides, colchicum, and pc.
tassa cauStica are common ingredients In
these cosmetics. The so.called lettuce
soap does not contain the slightest trace
of lettuce; and this and other soaps are
colored by the sequioxide of chromium,
or of rose color by the sulphuret OF
mercury, known as yermilion. The
cheaper soaps contain 80 per cent. OF
insoluble matter, as lime or plaster
while others contain animal heterogeneous
matter which, having escaped the proc
ess of specialization, emit bad odor
when its solution is exposed to the air.
The various toilet vinegars are also de-
clared in this paper to be so far noxious
that, being applied to the skin still i'm.
pregnated with soap and water, they give
rise to decomposition, in consequence
of which the fatty acids of soap, being in
soluble in water, and not removed by
washing, become rancid and cause chron

not an atom Of it remains. " 1t has dis
appeared There may be fragments OF
this organization scattered about in the
various States of the Union" etc, etc. 1t
was equally dead in 1872, according to the
same bright authority-only somehow the
Tribune died that year also, with its found
err. There is a mendicant journal in its
place, now borrowing money OF Jay
Gould, now of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company, now Of one, now of another
But wreck is not quite the same thing
as strong ship. And if we remember
what Mr. Greeley was, and contemplate
what his successor is, we shall see that
the difference is greater even in men than
in material:
However, the Republican party is dead,
or lost-it all comes to the same thing.
SO says the Professor. He makes his an
nouncement this time in a facetous strain
such Righteousness as naturally proceeds
from being in whom the sense OF hu-
NOR is entirely absent. No one NTH
sense of humor could possibly print the
frightful rubbish and gush which now
daily litter up the columns of Mr.. Greeley's
old paper. Dickens is the model which the
Professor has always set before him-the
only author he has ever read. And what
very bad thing bad imitation of Dick.
ems is, everybody knows. 1t is enough
to make rational man sick. The Pro-
fessor, however, thinks It beautiful"
and so he tells his plaintive story about
the death of the Republican party Ia
dickens. The worst Of it is that Fenton
and John Cochrane do not seem to have
succeeded yet in establishing any other
party to supersede the Republican. They
tried pretty hard, and the Professor
helped them, and very nice,looking
article they managed to produce among
them. The Professor has been gazing
| upon it ever since with disheveled locks,
and in what he calls "large-eyed Won
dering way" asking himself, "Is this
really mine? Am / the father" AS for the
chief victim Of the plot, Fonton & Co.
have forgotten all about him. They are
still trying to set up their dummy OF
Liberalism" on its rickety legs. They
| did not carry the election Of 1872 but
! they can promise to win in 1876. They
can talk big. Meanwhile, the Republicans
| seem somehow or other TO hold their
ground amazingly we'll, considering how
dead they are. The Democrats are doing
some active scheming, but they have no
policy and no leaders. Having been con,
victed of dishonesty themselves, they
think it will be very good plan to run
after the Republican party shouting
"stop thief" This was the device of the
Artful Dodger when he had stolen a
handkerchief, and set the people chasing
Oliver Twist. This little illustration from
Dickens will make the point perfectly
clear to the bewildered mind of the Pro,
fessor. The plan, however, in this in
stance will not answer. The Republican
party may not be free from all reproach,
but it is quite capable of correcting its
mistakes, and compared with the Dem,
ocratic party it is simply perfection We
believe that it still retains the confidence
of the country, and that it would elect a
President tomorrow by an overwhelming
majority if it had to do it.-Neao York
Times
