be compared with fodder corn in quality.
Hon. Harris Lewis, the great dairyman Of
Herkimer County, N. Y, says that fodder
corn will not keep up the flesh and flow Of
milk at the same time. A COW will either
lose in flesh or shrink in milk, if fed entire
ly with corn fodder. DR.. Loring and other
distinguished agriculturists are Of similar
opinion. II seems to be light, watery food,
while cabbages are rich in nitrogenous ee-
ments, aud will not only increase the quanti-
ty but improve the quality of the milk.
Another advantage they have over green
corn is that they will keep fresh and green
after the frosts have destroyed the corn.
Some years they may be fed from the field
two months after the corn is killed by frost,
which is no small advantage, but they should
not be fed when frozen, as they are said to
produce "hoven" in that state, and certainly
frozen food IS not substantial for cows Civ
ing milk.-COr. Neto England Farmer.

RAISING CABBAGE FOR STOCK.

The subject Of raising special crops for
fodder, like green corn, roots and other crops
of succulent nature, is receiving much at
tention of late but think that cabbage do
not receive the attention they deserve. l
believe them to be among the best crop to
raise for fodder. Few farmers, who live any
distance from the large markets, realize how
much Of the best of fodder may be raised
from an acre in Oabbages. Planted three
feet apart each way, the proper distance for
the largest kinds, will give 4S40 plants,
which ought, with good cultivation, to aver
age fifteen pounds each, including the loose
leaves which are as good as any for stock,
making over thirty-six tons to the acre.
This seems like a large amount, but it is a
fair estimate, and can be raised as easily
as seventY-6ve bushels of corn. Many farm
ers who raise cabbage estimate the crop as
high as forty or fifty tons per acre.
There certainly is no crop, unless it is
green corn, that will yield US large an amount

UP AND DOING.
Read at the last meeting OF Fairfax Grang,
by Mrs. Wheeler.


In the beginning it was decreed that "by
the sweat Of the brow we should earn our
bread" Let us not for once think that de.
cree has been changed, or that labor is de.
grading, or that we are humbling ourselves
by willingly working with our hands. On
the contrary let us remember that il is the
willing and obedient that shall cat of the
good of the land.
The object Of our meeting is to encourage
and learn Of each other different ways of
honestly and honorably getting the good Of
the land. What we want is working men
and women to lend a helping hand to pro-
mote the interests Of agriculture and the
welfare Of farming in general. Let us meet
together with will to receive and impart
knowledge that we may be better prepared
to plan for future profit and usefulness.
The cold winter with its deep snow is
gone, and all nature has returned to life and
activity. 1t is no time to cry ga little more
rest and little more Sleep" "Up in the
morning early, it's natures gladdest time"
Rise with the sun and plOw deep while slug
CARDS sleep. Sow and plant in season, that
we may gather plentiful harvest. Very
much depends upon the first hours of the
day. One author tells us "the sleep we get
before midnight goes to virtue, after sun
rise, to vice." Be that as it may, it is
well-known fact that if an hour is lost is the
morning we may try all day without being
able to regain it.
What is worth doing pays to do well, and
with family it requires thought, calcula-
tion and close attention to business. The
farmer that is industrious, diigent in bust
ness, and is willing to wait to see the good
Of his labor it sure to prosper. 1t is not
how much land we cultivate, but how 1t is
done. A small farm well titled will pro-
duce more than large one with the work
half done. Let us be contented with what
land We have, and set fruit trees thereon
that our families may enjoy the fruit of the
land and save our boys from being fruit
thieves by giving them plenty at home, and
benefit the world after us.
Let us not think within ourselves the time
we spend in meeting together is lost. Who
needs rest, encouragement, and society more
than the farmer and his wife2 Until of
late each farmer has, as it were, toicd on
alone, without help or even knowledge of
his brother farmers doings, taking what he
could get for his hard-earned produce, and
paying extravagant prices for all he pur-
chased. But time changes many things,
and the farmers are now rising. Let us re-
joice that the look of scorn that has hitherto
been cast on the laboring man and his fami-
ly is fast being wiped away.
Let us render unto the Giver of all we
have and are heartfelt thanks for our pros
perity; and may brotherly love and good
will one towards another continue. Let us
be prudent in all things, and weary not in
well doing.

VALUE OF FODDER CORN.

AT meeting of the Massachusetts, Cheese
Factory Association, Addison II. Holland, a
Barre farmer, read an essay on fodder corn.
With II cows he experimental to see what
its value was in producing milk during the
month Of July he turned his COWS out into
good pasture after having fed them with
fodder corn, and they showed a large fall
ing off in milk. He then, through August,
soiled them in the stable, feeding fodder
corn, and there was gain in tho production
of milk. In September they were again
turned into the moving (fall feed) and they
fell off. Mr.. Holland cures his corn by
spreading it upon the stone walls, and re-
CARDS it as a valuable feed for mlch COWS
when well cured He thinks fodder corn
the best crop there is to bridge over a dry
time with fed go or 70 lbs. per COW when
they were kept in short pasture.

BUTTER-MAKING.

Al meeting of local dairymen's asso-
citation in New York, the President made
the following remarks on the above topic
The subject Of butter-making has been
discussed pretty thoroughly in our meetings.
l think that dairymeu agree that there is
but one way to make prime butter, while
the ways for making poor article are as
numerous as the makers themselves.
think also that they are agreed as to hOtO a
prime article is to be made. Why then, we
ask, is there SO much poor butterH The
question is answered in the one word-care-
lessness. Where is there q dairyman who

Daughter, don't let mother do it,
Do not let her slave and toll,
While you sit, u useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to soil.
Don't you SEQ the heavy burdens

Bring the lines upon hor forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hair,

Do not let hor bake and broil,
Through tho long, bright summer hours
Share with her the heavy toll.
See, her eye has lost its brightness,
Faded from her ch eek the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant,
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughter, don't let mother do Il!
She has cared for you so long.
Is 1t right the weak and feeble
Should bo tOlling for the strong'
Waken from your llstless languor,
Seek her side to cheer and bloss;
And your grief will be less bittor

Till that mother lieth low,
Low beneath the budding dalses,

To the homo so sad without her
Never to return again.

MY CHILDREN.

When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around mo
To bid me good by and be kissed;
Oh the little white arms encircle
My neck in the tender embrace;
Oh! the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone. sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
or love that my heart will remember
While 1t wakes to tho pulse Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made mo
partner Of sorrow and sin;
When the glory of God was about me,
And the glory Of gladness within.
Oh my heart grows as weak as a woman's,
And the fount Of feeling will flow,
When think Of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet Of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER them
or the tempests of Fate blowing wild,
Oh there's nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent soul Of u child
They are idols Of hearts and Of households
They are angels Of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses;
Ills glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Oh those truaRts from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild
And know, now, how Jesus could liken
The kingdom q God to child.
i ask not life fof'the dear ones
All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sum
would pray God to guard them from evil,
