SWEET SUMMER.

The spring has fed with its shine and shower,
The summer reigns, in the radiant hour
When noon burns sweetness from every Hover
That turns its face to the sun.
She reigns in the waning blue of the skies,
When the level light of late evening lies
On pastures golden with memories
Ofdear dreams, over and done.
O summer, splendid crown OF the year,
Beyond faint spring and autumn dear,
Hope and remembrance are all they hear,
But joy is the soul OF thee
A soul that stirs in the unripe corn.
In the dewy hush of the new sweet morn,
When in leafy woods soft echoes arc born
ofthe far-off song of the sea.
o summer, sweet summer, when lovers stray
Past the green mill pool by the shady way,
Through the fields soft-wreathed in the new-mown
hay,
And down through the leafy lane
When the young dream dreams, and the old folks
stand
And look abroad over the quiet land,
And sigh mot sadly if hand clasps hand)
That youth comes never again.
For the summer dies-as our youth must die
And vain are the prayer and the passionate cry
The roses and beautiful days 60 by
With all their wonder and worth:
And SHOWS are over the lilys head,
And sheet of ice on the roses bed,
And love may die, now the leaves are dead,
And winter is lord ofthe earth.
Yet listen, sad heart, to the glad refrain
of the bright-winged birds in the brown hedged
lane;
Summer has gone, but she comes again
Sweet summer never can die.
And youth, sweet youth is immortal too,
And will bloom again, as the roses do,
And love is eternal-if hearts be true
Though youth and the rose go by.

stripping Fodder From Corn.

From The N. Y. World.
The practice prevails in many sections
of pulling fodder from corn before complete
maturity of the ear. The economy of this
practice is considered doubtful by progress
sive farmers. To test the advantage of
pulling fodder and of allowing the blades
to remain on the stalk until the crop is
made, experiments in this line were made
at the Georgia Experiment Station under
the direction of Commissioner j. 7. Hen
derson. Two plats of land-upland one
half acre each, contiguous and similarly
prepared, planted and cultivated. In .
word the treatment of the two plats was
identical.
From one of the plats, fodder was pulled
in the usual manner on August "a, and
when pronounced cured was accurately
weighed From the other plat the fodder
was not pulled at all. Corn was gathered
from both plats on October 81. The fol-
lowing results were obtained:

SENATOR PALMERS SUCCESSOR.

Interest Manifested Among tho Michigan
Congressional Delegation.
There is good deal of interest mani
tested among the Michigan delegation
in the House over the selection of a sue
cessor to Senator Palmer, who has de-
clined TO be q candidate for reelection.
While Congressman O'Donnell' S name
has been mentioned in connection with
the nomination for Governor, he has
also been spoken Of Us a good candidate
for the Senate.
The friends Of Congressman Burrows say he
will be considered when the Legislature elects
Senator Palmer's successor Mr.. Burrows is
one of the Republican leaders in Michigan,
aud, being member of the Ways and Means
Committee, his position at once gives him n
prominence as u candidate.
However, the probabilities are that James
Mcmillan Of Detroit will cut an interesting
figure in the contest. lie was a candidate two
years ago, when Senator Stockbridge was
elected.
There is n slight possibility that ex-Gov-
ernor Alger, who was q candidate for the
Presidential nomination, may come to the
Senate, as he is said to have aspirations in that
direction. On the whole Michigan politics just
at this period present most interesting spec
tacle. The Democrats OF that State are not
idle and rumors Of II fusion have been very
thick at the Capitol for the past week.
