CORN-FODDER,
A Mistake Committed by Majority OF
Stock-Owners.


StocIS-Owners.
We can point to hundreds of farm
ers, should proof be required, who
grow corn and wilfully waste the most
valuable portion of the crop every year.
In making this claim it may surprise
many, as we take the stand that fod-
der, if properly used. is worth more
on the farm than the grain. Mind.
however, we say if properly used. The
fodder that is cut, stacked and left
standing in the fields is not as soluble
as that cured and stacked at the proper
stage and stored under cover If the
farmers will keep sheep and cut the
whole stock--lcaf included-and feed
with small proportion of grain, a
larger profit can be derived than by
feeding corn to any stock. And we 90
further, and claim if horses be fed on
good, bright corn-fodder that has been
cut and crushed in a fodder-cutter, thew
can be carried over winter and be
brought out in spring in better
condition, without any grain at all
except a small allowance of oats
at night, than they can on corn
or its equivalent in value, for the
reason that they will not only relish the
fodder, but also because so large a
quantity can be grown on an acre. that
1t surpasses the grain in value. Corn
fodder Is allowed to waste by turning
the stock upon it to pick it over and
trample it, but when the farmers learn
that by properly curing and cutting il
up for stock every portion may be used
as serviceable food, they will realize
the mistake they have made in not APP
preciating the value and importance of
this portion of the corn crop.
1t is the mistakes made in farming
that discourage so many, and the most
prominent mistake is the neglect 70
properly use the fodder from the corn
crop-stalks and leaves-that render
the crops of such little value in some
respects. Growing corn for the grain
alone does not pay, and yet the farm
ers who are not aware of this fact an
nually put in their crops, harvest the
grain, and allow the really valuable
portion to be wasted by trampling or
else destroyed by exposure. We might
allude TO straw also as another waste
product, but which may be used TO
good advantage on all well regulated
farms where economy Is rightly prac.

IHg ALPHABET.
4 Survival Of the Fittost in an Evolutionary
sense,


sense.
IN the struggle for existence the Latin
alphabet alone survived among it,
Italian cOInpeers. and was carried by
the extension Of tic roman Empire
through the length and brcad,b OF
Western Europe. Mos, of our modern
European alphabets are it's direct OIL
spring. II Is only in Eastern Eur Ope,
more especially in Russia, that it,
Greek mother and subsequent rival has
stood It's ground, and even the present
century has witnessed the triumph Of the
Roman characters ia Slavpuic countries
otct alphabet, Of Greek origin ii IL
possible that time viii come when the
Roman character, will triumph Likewise
even over alphabets which claim their
descent from the Phoenician parent of
the Greek alphabet itself IL is no
longer doubtful that the immease ma
jority, il not the whole, of the alphabets
used in the East are descended, like the
alphabcts of the West. from the alpha.
bet of PhocniCia. We can trace the sue
cessivc gradations by which the letters
OF the inscriptions Of Mesha or the ST.
loan tunnel became the flowing charaC-
tiers of Palmorene geography and the
running hand of Aramaic papyfi. and
from the Palmyrenc characters il is but
n slight step 20 the Square Hebrew of
the modern Jews. Even the Neskhi or
Arabic alphabet. which. i'm spite of its
manifold imperfcctions, has been made
the vehicle of Persian and Turkish liter
allure as well as Of the thoughts of the
vast Anticipating world, can
DC shown TO have the same
origin, like the Svriac. which
was the parent of the vertically written
Mongolian and Mantcbu. In fact, il is
difficult to find any alphabet which can
not be affiliated TO the Phoencian,
widely different as the two may have
become both i'm the forms ok the letters
and in the values that they bear. In
termediate forms are continually being
discovered, which bridge over the cnor-
nous distances and explain the transi-
tiOns that time and space have effected
Even the Devanagari alphabet of Sans
krit, whatever disputes there may be rs
TO its exact pedigree, is generally al
lowed TO be Of PhOencan origin. With
the exception of the cuncifOrm alphabet
OF the ancient PerSians and possibly
one or two more which may vet Turk i'm
obscure corners OF the world, all the al-
phabets OF which we know are derived
ultimately, from a single source. Ut
tcrly diverse as they are i'm their latest
forms, the Jealous enthusiasm of palco-
graphists and inscription hunters has
succeeded i'm restoring them TO their ear
liest shapes, in filling up the intervals
which separate them from each other,
and in showing that they ara all but the
manifold developments of a single germ
The history of the alphabet, in short,
like the history OF its origin, is but an IL
mstration of the doctrine of evolution
on large and easily tested scale.

assumption that no alphabctic changes

formerly assumed, but are the result of
evolution taking place in accordance

The Founder of Negro MinstreIsy.

T. d. Rice was born in the city of New
York, May 90, 1908. At an early age he
learned the trade of carver, joined a
dramatic association, and went to Ken
tucky under the management of N. NJ.
Ludlow, a well-known actor and man
ager. While member of this company
he displayed considerable talent as an
lmitator of the negroes in their peculiar
tiles and eccentricities, and was at length
announced to make his first appearance
In negro character in the city of Louis
vile. Prior to this, however, he had
played both in New York and in the
west many low comedy parts with sue
cess, but not until he commenced his
negro singing and burlesque operatic
performance was he considered of sufii-
cient note to render his name attractive.
In the fall of the year 1882 he made his
Ethiopian debut at the Old Bowery
theatre, New York, in the character of
''Jim Crow" This character, both on
account o. its novelty and the excellence
of its representation, attained popu-
larity unequaled by anything of the kind
before or since Rice during that season
is said to have brought more money into
the Bowery treasury than any other
American performer during the same
period of time. After most successful
career in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, and other cities, he visited England
in 1886 and performed with great APP
alause at the Surrey London), as also in
Dublin and Cork, creating furor unpre-
cedented even in the annals of the British
stage, and almost literally driving for a
time from the boards such favorites as
Macready, the Woods, and other di'tin-
guished performers. While in England
he married a Miss Gladstone, the eldest
daughter of former manager of the
Surrey theatre. lie soon after returned
to his native country, appearing at Wal
lacks National theatre corner of Church
and Leonard streets, New York, October
II, 1886, in his speciality, the Virginia
Mummy" For any years subsequently
Mr. Rice was eagerly sought after by the
managers, and played as "star' in
nearly every theatre in the union. His
popularity, however, waned in his later
days, though he appeared, eliciting much
applause, as late as 1854. Stricken finally
with paralysis, his death occurred, after
a season of prolonged suffering, in the
city of his birth, September 10, 1860, at
the age of fifty -two.-NeO York World.
