Fodder Corn.

1have been preaching thin planting
OF fodder corn for more than ten
years; for it not only gives q much
better quality Of feed, but think that
any one who will take pains to expert
ment will also find that it
will give q much greater weight
OF cured fodder to plant as Mr..
Gould recommends than to SOW, as is
so often advised, two bushels or more
Of seed to the acre; and am not sure
but that two stalks to the foot will
be found better still. In the plots at
the Ohio Experiment Station, sixty
bushels OF corn, small ears, and over
10000 pounds OF cured fodder, have
been grown to the acre by planting
one grain to every six inches of drill,
and the drills 8 1-2 feet apart. The
corn was weighed 20 pounds to
the bushel. and this made over seven
tons OF corn and fodder to the acre,
and I fully believe that this,i fed corn
and fodder together. is superior to
hay.-Col. Curtis in N. Y. Tribune.

Nice Looking Yard.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer calls
attention to the unsightIy surround
ings out of doors so frequent about
homes, which inside are kept az
neat as q new pin. The whole ques-
ton ia merely tho extension OF an
idea. We never actually get rid OF
dirt. We remove it or by FIRE change
it's form. Usually the thing to be de-
termined is. how far shall dirt be re.
moved? Some neat housekeepers arc
satisfied to throw dirty water out Of
the chamber windows and the dish
scrapings out of tho kitchen door.
Their purpose is eerved if they no
longer see tho dirt. The chickens are
always close to such q home, aud
while they are excellent scavengers they
do not increase cleanliness in other
ways. Thes, convenient habits de.
stroy all ambition to keep anice look
ing yard, which is seen BY 100 people
to every one who sees the inside Of Tho
house. Besides, the soil becomes
soaked with foul water, throws OF q
disat reeable pdor and il positively
unhealthy.

Coquetry After Marriage.

It is easy to advise wives to dress
to suit their husbands taste, but
where time and money are lacking it
is not always SO easy to follow the
advice. Still, apart from the desire
OF pleasing her husband. which, of
course, should be the main object OF q
wife, let nae whisper that if she have a
request to make, she only is wise who
goes to the battle with a pretty gown
(albeit only of print), becomingly or
ranged hair, and q neat collar. Won.
en- are born coquettes, but too many
OF them lose their coQuetry just when
they need it most-after marriage.
For the sake of your own happiness
then, if for no higher reason, make
the best of such charms as nature
may have given you. Do not make
tho mistake Of thinking your husband
will like you better or appreciate it il
you sink the vile and sweetheart in
the slave. He will not, he will merely
treat you as q slave.-Country Gen.

Venus and Jupiter.

Youths Companion.
The morning starlit sky is radiant
with the presence of the two brightest
stars that shine among the myriad
hosts that stud the heavens. These
radiant stars are the planets, Venus
and Jupiter. There is no need of
pointing them out, for they will be
recognized at a glance by the observer
of the southeastern sky in the early
morning.
Venus now rises about four o'clock
in the morning. and Jupiter about
half an hour later. The former then
rises three hours and q quarter be-
fore the sun, and the latter two hours
and three-quarters before the sun.
Observers will see that the shining
orbs are rapidly approaching each
other, the distance between them per-
ceptibly lesseninR. each successive
morning. The planets will not ap.
proach each other until Jan. 2, 1888,
when they will meet and pass on tho
celestial road. Jupiter being nearly
two degrees south Of his fairsr neigh
Dor.
After the conjunction, as it is called,
the planets will recede from each 9TH,
er. Venus will wend her way toward
the sun, and Jupiter recede from him;
tho first growing smaller and less brill.
liant as she increases her distance
from the earth. while Jupiter will grow
larger and brighter as he approaches
the earth.
The conjunction of Venus and Ju.
piter is q phenomenon Of exceeding
interest, for 1t is not often that tho
Queen of the Stars. and the Prince OF
Planets hang side by side in the heav.
ems. Neither of them Is in it's brightest
aspect. Venus passed her period Of
greatest brilliancy on the last Of Oc.
tober. and Jupiter will not array him
