We can point to hundreds Of farm,
era, should proof be- required. who
grow corn and wllfully 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, il 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-leaf included-and feed
with q small proportion of grain, a
. larger profit can be derived than by
feeding corn to any stock. And we go
further, and claim if horses be fed on
good, bright corn-fodder that has been
cut and crushed in fodder-cutter, they
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 equiv slent 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
it surpasses the grain in value. Corn.
fodder is allowed to waste by turning
the stock upon 1t to pick it over and
trample il. but when the farmers learn
that by properly curing and cutting u
up for stock every portion may be used
as serviceable food, they will realize
the mistake they have made In not ap-
preciating the value and importance =
this portion Of the corn crop.

started of al full speed. First they
darted in ono direction, then in an
other. First Tommy was in the snow.
and then back on the sled. for the year

pranced on their hind-legs, and
whisked his hat off with their tails, and
tried to jump fences and drag the sled

there was on the ground, and which he

THE SHORTEST DAY.
And Yet How Much It Had for
Ono Poor Woman e.

How long il that Of most people. I
wondere Some perhaps can number
the fun six hundred and thirteen thou
sand six hundred and eight hours Of
the allotted threescore years and ten,
while others outlast the pre.Adamic
day Of the geologist, and cover all
eternity. Butmine was just the ordinary
daylight ones the shortest in the year,
too, for twas the twenty-frst of De-
Gambler.
And even short as it was, I had al
ready wasted some hours of it. Had I
thought it would have. set so soon I
might have been UP ct its dswning,
though usually Ihold, with Lever, that
ths'sun looks best-as every one else
does-when he's up and dressed for the
day, and that it's piece of impertlnent
curiosity to peep at him when he's ris-
ing and at his toilet; be has not rubbed
the clouds out Of his eyes, or you dared
not look at him.. But when ones sun
shines such little while a. mine, might
not one be pardoned for rushing to the
levee at an Questionable houre
Yet it Was noon before I was out in
the bright glow, trudging down the
lane with yesterdays fall Of snow crisp
ing under my feet. and last nights
sleet clashing overhead, as the wind
caught ct the struggling, overgrown
hedge-row boughs, and sent them ring
ing together, with such an icy-jeweled
flash and splendor of green and gold
aid red and blue as summer, with all
her wealth of leaves and blossoms,
could not rival. The very splendor
promised the Offering mockery but a
short life; the sun is traitor with his
kisses, and the warmth Of them would
soon wither away the snow wreaths,
making their delicate mimicry of the
white May and the hawthorn in the
hedge. But meantime they were very
fair, and the snow lay light and white
under the great peach orchards that
had their 10y sparkle too, IS they swept
away, in gentle undulations, right and
left Of the still lane. And the blue sky
had the merest snowflake Of q cloud
drifting along, and the sun was shining
full upon me, and somehow q clint Of
it had got into my heart, though there
was nothing in particular to bring it
there. Christmas was 20 neaF, the first
had spent out Of my old home, 60
empty now; and Father Christmas,
when he comes to us with . changed
face, hiss the saddest Of al looks. Yet
did not intend to NOPE. Aunt Mar
garet and the girls were friendly and
kind, and the least ! could do would be
to put aside the shadowsof my Grape.

So sfs,, er
Perhaps something more than content
flashed into it just then, ,when that

boughs, and some one sprang down

II was married to-day, and myself and hus-
band will be at home at once. Have my
