Fodder Corn

| Some years ago the attention OF the
dairy convention was much occupied
by the subject Of fodder corn, or corn
sown for feeding to cows IN the summer.
The general opinion Of it was that it was
miserable food, watery. devoid Of nutri-
ment, and that the COWS, whice were held
to be the best judges IN the matter, de-
tested the stuff Aud the cows were
light, at least so far as the fodder given
them was concerned. II was colorless,
insipid, wasby stuff But that was not
the hult OF the corn, but the mistake OF
the frrmer who grew It, The corn was
sown, not planted; three or four bushels
OF seed were broadcasted over the land
and it was narrowed in the plants came
up thickly and grew so closely that no air
or light reached the stems or the lower
leaves and they were yellow or white in
color and watery and tasteless.
Now light and air are indispensable to
the production OF starch and sugar in all
vegetable growth, and these substances
are the principal part OF an animals food.
The butter aud sugar in the milk come
from these, and the COW is almost wholly
supported by them, Corn being broad
leaved plant, needs wide space for its per
feet growth. No one ever saw an ear on
sowed corn. and the production OF grain |
is the result only'of perfect growth. Con
sequently. corn grown for fodder shonld |
be planted 10 rows not less than three feet
apart aud not more tbickly than three
stalks at every twelve inches apart,
| have found sweet corn to be the most |
desirable kind Of fodder, both for soiing
COWS 10 the summer and for winter feed
ing. The crop being cut when the ears
are fit for the table, and the whole plants,
stalks and ears being fed 10 the cows.
Where market can be found for the ears |
for table use or for drying, the stalks, |
cobs and the small ears will afford quite
sufficient food withou. any grain; thus
there is an income from the crop which
pays well for the culture OF it. leaving the
fodder as handsome bonus. BY plant
ing weekly in section constant supply
may be had until the fall. when frosts
stop the growth, add then ensilage shonld

acquires a cool hand. delicate touch and re-
liable judgment Other games are too in
tricate and involved for young PLAYERS;
their complications are such that any excellence
the amateur may possess is lost sight of in the
ENHANCEMENT. Before he essays balk-line or
cushion-carom games he should be an acknowl-
edged expert at the simpler one and then he
may hope to make progress in the others. He
should remember that there ia more in billiards
than the pose of the body and the selection of
a cue. 1t Is mathematics and nothing less. and
II 1t would be folly for tyro in mathematics
to skip the elementary studies and pass on to
the more difficult ones it would be equally fatal
to the prospects of young billiardist to dis
card the three-ball game before he has thor
oughly mastered it in all its details
Personally feel the need of practice con-
stantly. Not day passes on which l do not
play three or four games with Just as much
care and judgment as though l were handling
the cue for stakes. And it is only BY constant
persevering and careful practice that any one
need ever expect to be real billiard player,
to know the beauties of the game, to feel its
true fascination and to listen with a degree of
confidence born of long practice and rare
skill TO the music OF the worries as they come
together unerrinSiy. There is a charm about
awell-made billiard table and a cue that seems
to III naturally to the hand but the charm can
only be discovered by the patient lover OF the
sport who woos without ceasing. who discovers
for himself the delicate stratcges and the
thousand and one possibilities of the game.
Such q one is true billiardist.

For the present the conference is meeting in
the large parlors of the waJlach mansion. which
was secured for the sessions of the Three
Americas congress, now of on an excursion.
Until the delegates to the latter body return
the maritime conference will continue to use
these quarters and then they will remove with
their goods and chattels to the parlors
of Wormley's hotel The body is
entirely deliberative and resembles
large board of trade more than
anything else. By the nature Of the act con-
yenlng il the conference can do nothing that
binds any OF the powers represented to its de-
cisiOns. Everything is dependent upon the
agreement of the nations represented, or, in
the language of the law, lad referendum"
When the conference has concluded its labors,
agreeing upon the best possible code Of sys-
TENS. the delegates will return to their homes
and will lay the result Of their labors before
their governments, after which il will depend
upon the good sense of the various powers to
recognize the benefits OF the deliberations of
the ablest naval authorities of the world.
THE CONFERENCE AT WORK.
The conference meets promptly at IL o'clock
in the morning. the delegates armed with
voluminous documents and eager for business.
Everything in the way of formality that will
obstruct progress has been dispensed with and
the four hours which are devoted to the work
OF making the sea safer are fully utilized. In
order to accomplish this and to secure the ben
eht of all the time possible the daily reading of
the protocols" OF minutes of the previous pro-
eeedings has been dispensed with. There is no
