A TOUCHING STORY.
A Meeting Between Mother and Daughter
After Many Years.

Among the emigrants who arrived at
Castle Garden the other day was an old
woman bent with age. She had lived
the allotted threescore years and ten,
and her feebleness made her an object
OF universal pity. On the steamer she
occupied sitting quarters in the steer
age, but her companions were kind to
her, and the voyage was made as en-
durable as possible. She said that her
name was Janewski, and that she came
from Cracow, Poland. She told an i1is
terpreter that she had daughter some
where in the States, near the Atlantic
Ocean, but where she did not know.
The Government officials finally decided
to send her back to Poland, under the
law which prohibits the landing of emf
grants who are likely to become public
burdens. The old woman protested,
but in vain. The day for sailing arrived,
and she was told she must go on board
the vessel. Age had made her childish,
and she sank upon the rude wooden
seats and cried as if her heart would
break, An official gathered up her
bundle of clothing, when the shawl
which was wrapped around it became
loose and the clothing fell out. An
seaxsgope, torn and spiled, fell on the
sbsn the postmark Newark, N. j., and
was addressed to the old woman In Cra-
COW. Poland.
aWhere did you get this2" asked the
interpreter, of the old woman.
My daughter Jennie sent that" she
replied, sadly. "She Is my only child,
and all that 1 have on earth"
| It was decided to take Mrs. Janowski
to Newark and endeavor to find her
daughter. A gentleman who had be-
! come interested in the old woman vol
unteered to go with her, and next morn
ing they started. Arrived at Newark,
Inquiries were made and a Hebrew wo-
man was found who said that she knew
Jennie very well.
"Come this way, I will show you,"
she said
The trio proceeded up Canal street
until they came to frame house in front
of witch crowd had assembled.
"Jennie is to be married to-day" said
the guide. The ceremony is just being
performed.
The old woman forced her way
through the crowd in the narrow entry.
In the neat but poorly furnished room
the wedding guests had assembled. The
bride, attired in dress of spotless lawn,
trimmed with fresh daisies, stood be-
side the groom, a fine looking young
Hebrew, awaiting the pleasing words
which should make them one. A COM
motion was heard in the hallway, and as
the guests at the door separated, the
bride uttered d cry of " Mother !" and
the old woman rushed into her arms.
The scene between mother and daughter
was very affecting, and tears of JOY were
shed at the nuptial feast.

CORN FODDER.
properly Raised, Worth Twice as Much az
Average Meadow.
BY WALDO F. BROWN.

BY WALDO F. BROWN.
If any reader will this year raise fod>
der-corn managed on the following
plan, weigh the product and take note
of its feeding value, feel sure he will
be convinced that one acre of it gives
more return than two average acres of
hay. We do not care to plant very
early, as there is NO trouble about its
maturing, and it starts into quick,
thrifty growth, when planted after the
land is well warmed, and requires less
cultivation than if planted earlier.
make the rows three feet apart, and the
hills two to two and one-half feet. l
prefer planting in hill to drilling, as /
think we get as much fodder and 1t Is
less labor to harvest. / think that more
food value will be realized if but three
stalks are allowed to hill, for while
this will perhaps not give quite so much
weight it will give more grain, and so
the food will be richer. If not planted
until the latter half of May, in ordinary
seasons, this corn will grow so rapidly
that three civilizations will ordinarily be
sufficient. | think most farmers who
raise fodder-corn cut it too green, there
by not only getting poorer quality OF
fodder, but also causing more difficulty
in curing, and often when cut green the
fodder moulds and becomes unwhole-
some for stock.
Cut when husks begin to turn and ears
shows signs of ripeness. The cost OF
cutting should not exceed $3.50 per
acre, II It stands up well, as it is quite
sure TO do if planted as directed. Put
IN moderate sized shocks and them
when the weather is good and the fod-
der IN the right condition to handle,
bind it in bundles and take it to the
barn. If it makes some good-siZed ears
husk them, but do not try to musk the
nubs, as they will be better for the cat
tie eaten with the husks. The material
which prefer for bands is straw from
rye cut when in blossom l raise little
rye each year for this purpose. When
cut at this stage of growth it is tough
and pliable, and has no seed to scatter.
1t makes frmer bundle to handle than
twine, and cattle eat the straw with the
fodder. The bundles should be small
and bound near the middle, so as to be
easily handled. | have had hands bind
fodder with double bands of long rye
straw, and tie it near the tops, so that
when trying to pitch one of these over
grown bundles on to the load the butts
would spread out five or six feet wide;
such bundles can neither be loaded nor
moved with any comfort.

A Contemplate Swindle.

Nine more victimized English boys
have turned up at Los Angeles; ages,
fourteen to seventeen. Their fathers in
England were induced to pay $50 en-
trance fee for their sons as pupils on
fruit farms in California at $5 per
month, and to be ''t.eated as members
of the family" The firm had head
quarters in London. The agent gets
$12 apiece for providing each hoy with
a home. Their passage, which they
pay themselves, is $75. When the boy
gets to San Francisco, California, he
finds he could have done it all himself,
and that the promised situation is never
forthcoming. Nearly forty cases have
thus far been discovered Fran

A RELIc-A relic of the great forests
which once covered the south of Sweden
was recently dug out of bog at Kin
neved in the shape of boat six feet in
diameter, followed out of log. The
tree from which it was obtained must
have been twenty feet in circumference.
The wood, which was blue in color, was
very hard, and the boat so heavy that
two bullocks could not move it.
