"AMAzlSG GRACE. THE following
il youched for by one OF tho most re-
liable OF Philadelphia divines
A young clergyman having greed
to supply The pulpit ofan older broth
or absent from home, escorted to
chu,o The daughter Of the pastor, and
after seeing her safely il her fathers
pew, assembled 10 the pulpit, uncon'
scious that this natural attention TO
the young lady was sufficient TO excite
lively imaginations and inquiries in
the audience.
Upon reading the hymn to be sung
the young clergyman was surprised to
perceive evident efforts in the congre'
CATION to suppress laughter. The
daughter of his friend possessed the
mellihuous name Of Grace. and, all
unsuspicious of that fact, he had
chosen the hymn beginning with the
words "Amazing grace" and proceed
ing with:
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved,
How precious did that grace appear
The hour first believed
Through many dangers, tolls, and snares
have already como
Ills grace has bought we safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

Value OF Fodder Corn.

The experience OF the past season
has given the writer highly iavora-
BILE opinion Of fodder corn, a mum
Der OF COWS kept for milk have been
steadily fed from July until frost up
on fodder corn, with the addition OF
four quarts of meal daily. The ration
has been 80 lbs. in three meals Of 30
lbs. each. The first feed was given
at six o'clock in the morning, cut up
in n fodder cutter, wetted with water
in which malt sprouts had been
stepped for IL hours. 2 qts. for each
COW, and sprinkled with two quarts
of meal of corn, oats, and wheat mid
dlings ground together; the second at
noon, given whole, and the third at
six o'clock in the evening, cut as IN
the morning, but without any malt
sprouts and with two quarts of meal,
mixed with 1t after wetting it with
water. Upon this feed the COWS have
kept up their usual flow of milk and
in good condition, and have done as
we'll as when fed upon green clover or
grass. The corn was sown with the
Albany corn planter in drills three
feet apart and three inches apart in
the drill. Five feet of row produces
80 lbs. OF fodder or two pounds TO the
square foot, or 43 tons to the acre,
the corn being about eight feet high
and having good many halt-grown
ears here and there. One acre of such
corn is thus able to support 40 COWS
~ days, or ~ COWS for 40 days; but
this is only when fully grown, as it
was when these weights and meas
ures were made. Half of this csti-
mate would be fair, considering that
the feeding of the fodder usually be-
gins when part Of the field is only
halfgrown. 1t may be gathered from
these facts that there can be no more
valuable fodder crop grown for late
summer and early fall feeding than
fodder corn. This experience Is COR
roborated by that Of many other dali
rymen and farmers, but it is worth
noting that there is difference in
fodder corn which may well account
for the various opinions regarding it.
There is that which, sown broadcast
and being too much shaded from light,
is without color or substance, and
makes very poor feed; and that, on
tho other hand, which having been
grown In rows and exposed to the
light is more solid and the juices are
more mature and perfect. The latter
kind is that which satisfies those who
use it, and the former is that of which
SO many complaints have been justly
made, and which have given fodder
corn bad reputation with those
farmers who rather, give heed to what
they hear than try experiments tor
themselves. IT American Agricultur-
list, January /. 'Ht D..
