What Presence of Mind and Thick
Skull Did tor Negro.

In Bergen county, New Jersey, there.
lives a colored man, mute, who had a,
great fear of railroads from a brother,
who was also mute, having been killed
while walking on the track. The sur
vivOr would never walk on the TRACK,
conscious of the danger ran. One day
not long since he forgot his usual eau
ton, and was overtaken by a freight
train. Becoming aware of the train
when it was close upon him, he threw
himself down fat between the nails.
The pilot of the engine just grazed the
back of his head, driving his face into
the gravel. The whole Grain passed over
him and stopped, while the affighted
train men ran back to pick up, as they
supposed, his dead body. They found
him lying still, badly frightened, with
his face cut by the gravel. His head
was not hurt, though the engineer felt a
jar when the pilot touched him. The
thickness of his skull doubtless saved his
life He was taken to Hackensack,
where the cuts on his face were dressed
and he walked back home, but not on
the track.

Field Corn for Milk.

In the discussion of subject of a corn
fodder for milk of the Elmira Farmers
Club, the president gave his experience
of feeding planted corn with very good
results;
Last Monday morning the last of my
sowed corn was fed out. and i directed
my man to 60 to the planted corn and
cut for my cows. A portion of the field
had been re-planted, and the seed was
put in thick, perhaps eight or ten ker-
nels to the hill, and it may be assumed
that six Of them grew, making as many
stalks without many ears. That por-
ton [ set the men to cutting for my
COWS. On my return from the fair two
days ago, I inquired what effect such
feeding had, and was told that the yield
of milk had increased one fourth, al
though less amountof the planted corn
had been given than of the sowed. There
showed the poor policy of sowing corn
thickly. [ have been trying to SOW less
corn each succeeding year, but the fact
that the planted corn brings SO much
better results proves to my mind that
have not yet learned to SOW little enough.
Plants growing in the shade, as thickly
soWed corn must make. lack nutritive
properties. This is the reason why sowed
corn is lightly esteemed by many farm
ers who have tried it and found it
almost valueless. Under the most favor
able circumstances it cannot rank with
good old pastures, but where grass can
not be obtained, it is an available substi-
tute, perhaps as good as most farmers can
provide. It may be Harris Lewis plan
is better. He recommends cutting June
grass in its best stage of growth, curing
it and feeding it out when pastures are
no longer nutritious I believe that Mr..
Van Duzer can not do better now than
too cut his planted corn to feed his COWS.
They must have green feed if it can be
had, and my own experience has shown
that planted corn serves the purpose
better than sowed corn. L should advise
feeding the corn out before going to the
beet field. On one point We may settle
with certainty of being right: we must
begin now to feed well. Begin now to
winter our cattle. No matter what the
cost is, cattle must be well fed from this
time to midwinter, or there will be loss.
The very worst policy is to permit them
to fall off now. If there is to be scant
feeding let it be as late as possible

Motley and Bismarck.

Mr. Sumner was in the habit of tell
ing, with much humor, one amusing in
cident in Motley's diplomatic career in
Vienna. After the close of the joint war
of Prussia and Austria against Denmark
on the question of the duchies, Bismarck
came to Vienna to settle the terms of
peace with the Emperor. He arrived
too late to go to the Office of the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, and remembering
that his old university chum, Motley,
was the American Minister, he drove
directly to his house, and found Motley
just retiring from modest family din
ner, with nothing but the remains of
the dessert on the table. The old friends
cordially joined hands and hearts fresh
viands were furnished from Motley's
kitchen and fresh Burgundy from his
cellar, and for hour after hour the old
collegians went over their student expe-
riences and frolics at the University of
Berlin, without speaking word about
politics. After cracking his last walnut
and swallowing his last glass of wine,
Bismarck, long after midnight, left Mot
ley's house, and sauntered away whis-
thing to his hotel with an immense in
ternal satisfaction at the entertainment
he had derived from his first nights ex-
perience at Vienna. But the eyes of
Europe were all this time on the terri
