The peculiar appearance of the
sky last Wednesday afternoon, which
was drought by some to be caused by
an eclipse, was the result Of fire in
the woods on North Point, with the
wind in westernly direction. Then
the wind suddenly changed to the
east, and driving a dense volume of
smoke, with considerable flying ashes,
to the westward, and over the city,
which obscured the sun for some
time. In some localities the ground
was rendered nearly white with cedar

TOP FODDER.

A Valuable Article of Food Which Is FREE
quentIy Entirely Overlooked.
1t is strange that farmers are so slow
to learn the value and economy of top
fodder. In some sections such forage
is entirely overlooked In others it is
put up in limited quantities. Farmers
generally think topping corn is very
slow work, and, consequently, poorpay.
Yet it is the cheapest forage that can be
supplied on the farm. A good hand
with a sharp knife will readily cut, bind
aid shock two acres per day in average
corn. Some farmers hire tops harvested
at fifty cents per acre. When we'll
cured it is a small job to put them in
the barn NOW. The best time to cut is
when the tops are about half pc. Max
ing liberal allowances, such fodder
should be put in the NOW at cost of
seventy-iive cents per acre. | think
three acres of tops will make as much
feed as one of meadow. But estimating
it at four acres the cost in the barn
would be three dollars. IN my locality
timothy hay sold at seven dollars per
acre as it stood in the field. And here
the custom prevails where meadow is
let out ION the shares" to take one-half
for putting the other half in the barn or
stack This rule is too eXtravagant.
But taking it as it is, hay costs fourteen
dollars per acre put in the barn; and
making every reasonable allowance for
localit Is speaking of farming distr cts)
and variation in prices, hay costs from
two to three times as much as corn tops.
Then there is still q greater disparity.
Saving corn tops is a net gain, for if
not thus utilized it goes to waste,
whereas, the rental value of meadow
land must be taken into account and
must be added which, in this locality,
would rate at five dollars per acre. So
if the farmer puts up his own meadow,
he should charge himself with that much
to beg n with, and the exhaustive ma
ture of timothy meadow is an important
factor. Cutting timothy and corn fod-
der (the whole stalk VIII each impov-
erish soil much quicker than other
crops. The silica which glazes the stem
or stalk and gives it strength to sap5
erect, is tnuS removed from tne SOIL,
and if persisted in and not returned to
the soil, the effect will soon become
very apparent But when the tops OF
corn-stalks are taken, comparatively
little of the silica is removed from ths
field
l have fed tops several winters and
found them equal to timothy for food,
and, if any difference, less labor was re-
CURED. My horses relish and do well
on such forage. But the most remark
able feature is, that men who rent land
allow the leisure season TO pass unim-
proved in this respect, and purchase
hay for their teams when a few days
work would pay the bill.-D. Il.

''Oh, no, it isn't" And Maude was
strangely quiet and firm.
Nothing more was ever proved.
There never will be any more proof as

Maud had to let john Bryant cut off
some of the coupons and cash them for

My neighbors over the way
AS sit for moment, resting
Alone in the twilight gray.
NV darling! my darlingl
What is the world to me?
At the touch of song in the twilight
1t has almost ceased to be.
You were safe in my memory, dearest;
But the many weary years
And the need of strength for the struggle,
And the little time for tears
shall be strong to morrow;
shall laugh again with the rest;
shall carefully close lfe's bargains,I
And win. as l may, the best.
But, o mine own, my onlyl
To night am yours alone:
New loves and hopes and duties
Are gray as the twilight grown.
My darling! o my darllngi
Do you hear them where you are
From the far, lone grave where left you,
Or from yon DIM, holy star?
Does your heart break with wild longing
To sit in the twilight gray,
Your head on my knee, and sing with me
Old songs in our olden way?
Sad or glad or foolish,
All lie old songs we knew;
While our dreams ran on in an undertone
OF the joys that would all come true.
My heart is nigh to breaking,
My tears are falling fast;
Are you, too, glad to remember
The twilight songs of the past?

And the woe that might have been yours
To keep YOU happy in Heaven,
And safe from this life's false lures.
