Save the Cornlodder.

!t4We'have long been of the opinion,
and desire to repeat it here, that there
was not that attention paid to the
curing and saving of the corn-foddor
thatits value demanded. Every good
farmer must know that cattle eat it
greedily through the winter, and if
cut and steamed It's as good for them
as the best hay and really more milk
producing, Where is the necessity
of allowing il to remain in shocks
until the middle or end of November?
Corn should not be cut down until
after the stalks are dying and the
grain is pretty hard, and then it
should remain in the field no longer
than is absolutely necessary for the
drying of the grain. 1t should be
'husked as early as possible, and the
fodder tied up in bundles and either
carefully stacked near the cattle sta
bles or put under shelter in sheds.
1t is well.known, too, that horses
prefer it to the best hay; also, that
the blades are especially sought fol-
to feed racing animals, strengthen,
ing their wind and bottom beyond
any other food. 1t is besides whole,
some provender and helps most ben,
eficially in making the winter sup,
ply of hay hold out till late in the
spring, with the addition of roots,
which every farmer, who shrewdly
looks to the main chance, ought tc
cultivate for feedingin the early part

Inauence Of ChlIdren.


We can not but think that this
constant presence Of human nature,
pure and happy, Of simple and limo
cent enjoyment, exerts a great, tho
little noticed, influence on this
whole great fighting family Of man;
and each member of it forgoes some
thing Of his seIfshness, abates some
thing Of his fury, after every such
contemplation of something happier
than himself, which never yet re-
garded self, never was infuriated by
passions. No wonder that the great
est of men have mostly eyinced a
passionate fondness for children; nor
is it surprising that in some persons,
not otherwise of weak character,
such fondness should even rise to ex-
cess. In our mourning over lost
child, the very sources Of our COM
fort bear in them an embittering We
nom for our grief. The same purity
of soul which assures US of its ac'
ceptancc in the bosom of God, also
renders the memory Of its vanished
prettiness and graces more intolora-
BILE by exemption of every, even the
least drawback in our love, from
failings or ofense. To the busy
world what, indeed, is the death of a
child? It forwarded, it retarded no
human aim; itstood, an insignificant
little alien, by the side of the mighty
and dusty arena of life, Not so to
the parent. To him its smiles and
plays were the inyigoroting spirit
that nerved in the conflict; and the
busy apathy, of the whole world be-
sides, its utter want of sympathy
with him in his Ito their feelings
trifing loss, becomes itself an added
source Of poignant, lonely, heart
consuming misery.

saving seed Corn.

We have sometimes had no little
difficulty in procuring seed corn that
would germiuate. Some seasons the
corn is not sufficiently ripened before
the frost. On this subject the Gin.
cinnatio Grange BULLETIN tells why
these failures occur, and adds a few
reasonable hints on the saving of to-
mato seed.
The perfecting Of seed is the whole
end and aim of all annual plants;
the whole energies of the plant, from
termination of the seed down to tho
frost that kills the plant and stops
: the flow of sap, are absolutely re-
quired.
The immature sap of a young
plant never could produce a mature
seed; it requires all the whole volume
from infancy to maturity, the weak
and the strong life-blood Of the plant,
to give the seed its full power Of
Transmission. Especially it is nee
essary that the last remaining flow
Of sap from thestalk matured by age,
the season and the approach of win
ter, should enter the seed. Hence to
deprive seed of this final act is to
weaken it, it may have vitality
enough without it to grow and pro-
duce other seed, but it isitself imma-
ture, and must produce immature
seed.
To gather corn in the glazed state,
and hang tup in the shade, is to de-
priye it of all the mature sap of the
plant, and also of the ripening intiu-
ence Of tho sun.
Nature never ripens seed in that
manner. She gives it every chaEce,
every influence, every particle of
nourishment from the plant itself,
from the sun'srays, the nights dew's,
and the porfecting influence of the
waning season. This much for corn
especially, but also for all others.
Tomato seeds require little differ
ont management, because they are
more tender. In this case leave the
earliest, finest, smoothest, largest
fruit on the vines till a slight frost
admonishes us of winters approach.
Then gather them, lay them on a
board in the sun during the day, but
in the house at night, for three or
four days, then cut the tomato in
half across the stem way Scoopout
the core, seeds and all, throw them
into a bucket till they sour and fer
ment,. wash out the seeds, dry per-
fectly in the sun, not in the oven,
and put away in a dry place.

Woman's Love for the Beautiful.

A woman went into a BARRIERS shop
on Cstreet some weeks ago and want
ed to know how much it would cost
to dye mans hair and mustache.-
The price was named and she then
asked the barber to get his dye and
follow her.
"Why can't the man come hereT'
asked the barber.
0He's Dead" replied the woman,
"and the last thing he said when he
was passing away was: Sally, fix me
up pretty for the funeral His hair
curled beautifully, but was little
gray. 1t won't look well to see wo-
man crying round a coffin with an
old gray-bearded man in it. So l
want him fixed up a little. He was
alwaysa beauty when he had his
hair dyed. I know I'd want mine
fixed that way if 1 was gray and
dead"
The barber dyed the dead mans
hair in the highest style of the art,
and the widow remarked, when all
was over, that che was the loveliest
corpse ever buried on the Comstock."

fourths of the stones such as any un-
skilled man in moderate health

were beyond the power of an unprac-

not understand the grain of particu-

would have split easily; and l have
no doubt that, through ignorance of
the work, l exercised sufficient
strength to have broken four times
the quantity l did. l can under

The Kingdom Of Love.

Nv wife is not in fashion.
o very far from that,
She wears no jewels on her neck,
No feathers in her hat;
She has no train, nor courtly grace
To WELD It If she had,
She tinges not with rouge her face,
Nor does she paste or pad.
Her figure is not delicate,
Her voice 10 not divine,
She has no wondrous gifts of mind.
That bonuy wife of mine
Her gifts to me, more choice than gold,
In patient cares are given.
And to her babes, in wealth Of love,
That makes of home q haven.
gaze sometimes upon her face.
So lined. and worn, and white.
And think how beautiful it was
That summer wedding night;
And how for years life's hope and fears
Have scattered through her hair
The precious silver threads, that make
\ crown of glory there.
. wife, 50 true to every trust,
Thy gifts the worlds renown
May never wIn. but on thy cares,
The Lord of Life looks down;
He will TO thee guerdon give
Better than fame or gold.
For wives, who rule their homes by love
