An Editors Wife.

We know one editors wife who will utter
a mental amen as she reads this, aud an ex-
editor informs us that his excellent wife ap-
preciates it. We publish 1t for the special
benefit of those who contemplate marrying
an editor, that they may see "what they are
coming to-"
Yes, I'm Mrs Peter Snow, an editors
wife. l well remember the day when Mr.
Snow asked me TO become his wife. | con-
fess liked Mr.. Snow, and thinking it would
be fine thing to be the wife Of an editor, l
said Eyes" as pretty as knew how, and |
became Mrs. Snow. l have seen ten years
of married life, and find my husband to be
an amiable, good.natured man. He always
spends his evenings at home, aud is in that
respect a model man but he always brings
a pile Of exchanges which is only limited by
the length of his arms, and reads while
patch the knees and elbows OF his pantaloons
and coat. After we had Quaker meeting
of an hours length broke the stiffness by
asking: "Mr. Snow, did you order that
coal spoke to you about ?" "What did you
say, my dear 2" he asks, after a minutes ST.
lence. "Did you order that coal spoke to
you about ~ "Indeed, my dear, am Sor-
ry, but forgot all about it. 1t shall come
tomorrow" Another hours silence which
is relieved by the baby's crying, and rather
liking a noise Of that sort, | made no effort
to quiet him. "My dear" says Mr.. Snow,
after he had cried minute or so, "you had
better give the baby some catnip tea to quiet
him; he troubles me-" The baby is still
Another hour passes without a breath Of
noise Being tired, take lamp and retire
for the night, leaving Mr., Snow 50 engaged
with his papers that he does not see me leave
the room. Towards midnight he comes tC
bed, and Just as he has fallen asleep the ba'
by takes a notion to cry again. l rise as
quietly as possible and try TO still him
Then another baby begins to scream at the
top of his lungs. There is no other course
but to awake Mr.. Snow, so 1 say "Mr
Snow" The third time he starts up and
cries, "What, Tom, more copy H"-ROcheste'

Sweet Corn Fodder.

Let Quercus Alba plant some sweet corn
one year and feed it to his milch COWS in the
month of August and September, as his
pastures begin to fail, and think he will
not ask the second time, if sweet corn fod-
der is profitable crop to cultivate, even il
ifit is pretty good season for pastures.
Aud perhaps he will not be obliged to re.
port that it takes twelve quarts Of milk to
make pound of butter. Ii he should be,
l would suggest that it might be to his ad-
vantage to make a change in his cows.
For many years l planted the Western
corn for fodder, and while the cows would
6ll themselves with it, aud hold their flesh,
could see no improvement in the milk.
But after feeding sweet corn fodder awhile
at once noticed change both in quantity
and quality Quercus Alba asks Mr.. Fos-
ter for his figures in relation to keeping COWS
and making butter. As | have not noticed
any figures Of Mr.. Fosters will venture
to present few Of my own as the result of
my experience. do not know how much
bran, or shorts it takes to produce a gallon
of milk, but do know by experiment that
the benefit that derive from feeding them
more than equals their cost to ascertain how
much milk it takes to make pound of but
tel. have made a number of trials. The
first one was eight years ago in September
with six COWS running in the pasture, and
having no provender when it took seven
quarts to the pound. Another trial two
years ago, with eight cows in the month of
December, it took but six and half quarts
to the pound. At this time | was feeding
some shorts. We made last year from eight
aud one.third COWS (haviug the eighth COW
four months of the year, seventeen hundred
and sixty pounds of butter, and fifteen hun
dred pounds of cheese which we sold for
eight hundred and seventy.6ve dollars. Now
we don't reckon this as being very extra,
but we do know what we are doing. Farm
ers should prove all things, "hOld fast that
which is good. w. IN Main Farmer,

Pasturing Meadows.

Of that shortsighted and peruic;ous prac-
tice we have been the foe for many years
aud we certainly never knew pastures shorter
than for the last three months of this season.
We know we cut several tons more Of hay
last haying season, because the meadow was
untouched year ago; and the hay is worth
double all the extra butter the COWS would
have made. Our meadow is now covered
with fine, soft, but short aftermath, which
will wonderfully protect the roots during the
winter, especially if it is an open one as it
now promises to be. Beside, the ground is
not all poached up, and if any one will ex-
anime clay meadow in june, he will find
little or no grass growing where the cattle's
feet pressed into the wet soil the fall or
spring previous. Raise fodder corn, or Hun
garian grass, or buy shorts but keep the
cattle off the meadows, unless you are taking
farm on shares, and then you will skin the
farm all you can, or you are an exception to
any one we ever knew. Read the following
suggestions
A neighbor of mine has a meadow on
which there is now a most luxuriant growth
Of aftermath. Last Saturday, week ago,
he turned in on this 6eld some twenty head
of cattle, and purposes to keep them there
most of the fall. viii it iujure the mead
ow? l told him it would if he turned them
in now, for it has been very wet here, and
his meadow is naturally moist. The tramp
ing of that many cattle for month, as wet
as it is now, will ruin the meadow. But he
thinks not. have no serious objections to
pasturing down an aftermath when it grows
rank, aside from the tramping in wet wealth
er. But do not believe in eating it off
bare and leaving the roots exposed to the
rigors Of our winters, with nothing whatever
to protect them. Our meadows and grass
lands would not run out so frequently, me-
thinks, if less fall pasturing was done. The
grass that springs up after harvest will
fall down and furnish protecting carpet
through the winter, and will enrich the land
by its decay, SO that it will produce, gener.
ally, enough more the following season to
compensate for the loss Of the pasture in the
fall, while the better condition Of the land
and of the grass crop itself, is SO much clear
profit.
My plan is to pasture aftermath according
to its growth. 10 dry seasons, when there
is but little growth, do not turn ia at all
In wet seasons, when there is a rank growth
pasture whenever the ground is dry enough
to prevent sinking of the hoofs l moved a
field last year that had been pastured wet
the fall before, and it was as rough as a
powed field, and did not turn off half as
well as fields that had not been so tramped.

Fattenins Poultry.


The following advice from the Journal Of
Chemistry is the best We have ever seen.
though wo think they need little more
room, but should be shut up. Our practice
has been 10 use pen some ten feet square
for dozen or more, but shut them up by all
means: ........n .n....
1t is hopeless to attempt to fatteu chickens
while they are at liberty. They must be
put up in proper coop, aud this, like most
other appurtenances, need not be expensive.
To fatten twelve fowls, coop may be th rec
feet long, eighteen inches high and eighteen
inches deep, made entirely of bars. No part
solid-neither top, sides nor bottom. Dis
erection must be used according 10 the size Of
the chickens put up. They do not want any
room indeed, the closer they are the better,
provided they can all stand up at the same
time. Care must be taken to put up such as
have been accustomed TO be together, or
they will fight. If one is quarrelsome, it is
better to remove il at once, rs, like other bad
examples, 1t soon finds imitators. Diseased
chickens should never be put up.
The food should be ground oats, sHd may
either bc put up in a trough or on 4 fiat
board running along the front of the coop.
