fodder, to be cut during the fall for cat
tie, but we advise that it be done with as
little delay as possible. We have time
and again urged this upon our farmers,
and given the modus opcrandi to secure
good crop; to which we now add, for
the last time for the season, the follow
ing hints from one who has benefited by
the process as given by contemporary
journal. A friend in an adjoining county,
who had fine two-acre lot of green corn
to cut in July and August of last year,
Informed us that in those months his
flock of milch COWS increased their pro-
duct very largely, while his neighbors,
who depended on grazing tho stock upon
the shortening pasture incident to tho
season, found the flow Of milk lcsscned
fully onc-half; and such is the almost
universal testimony Of those who have
adopted the soiling system. Nor is it
alone that the yield Of tho flock is better
and the profit increased, but tho pasture
fields need not be eaton of bare, us we
frequently sec, especially in seasons of
drought, much to its permanent injury;
and moved fields need not be turned in
at all, much to the benefit Of the hay
crop the following year. Every good
farmer avoids close pasturing in the sum
mor, and the soiling system always en-
ables him to do 50. For soliug purposes
corn is,of course, king. Nothing else
need be planted ut this eeason that will
aid the dairymen during the hot months.
There should be no delay in getting in Il
patch 1t should be drilled in rows
three feet apart the stalks twelve to the
foot, and should be thoroughly worked
with the hoe-barrow. ~ B0lto, Amercan.

obscrurity to wealth and honor can
trace his rise to eyility; it is sure to re-
produce itself in others, aud he who is
always polite will be sure to got at least
as much as he gives We believe it was
Macauley who defined polteness as be-

who are nothing if not satrical declare
politeness to be the zero Of friendships
