Substitutes for Hay.

The high market price for two of
our most prominent fodder articles,
English hay and rowen, affects Sc
riously the degree of our financial re-
suits in the product of milk. We are
in need of a cheaper source of supply
of coarse fodder substances. More
satisfactory results can be obtained,
no doubt, in many cases by turning
indifferently yielding dry grass lands,
if at all capable of higher cultivation,
to account for the production of some
other suitable fodder crop than grass
es. The good services of dry fodder
corn, corn stover, and "A good corn
ensilage, for a more economical pro-
duction of milk, are deservedly from
day to day more generally recognized.
1t is not advisable, however, to raise
one fodder cropat the exclusion of all
others, however lucrative at the time
this practice may prove. The intro
duction of a greater variety has not
only resulted in cheapening the pro-
duction of milk and beef, but has
proved to be a most economical way
to raise the general productiveness OF
farm lands to a higher standard.
Our local experience with a variety OF
annual leguminous fodder crops as
vetches, sarradella and sofa bean has
been very encouraging. The satisfac-
tory results obtained in previous
years are fully confirmed during the
past season, when a mixed crop OF
vetch and oats and of sofa bean has
served as the principle coarse fodder
for milk production, from the middle
of June to the beginning of Septem.

Not so Peaceful as we Seem.

"We are supposed to be a peace
full nation" writes Col. Theodore A.
Dodge, the well known authority on
military subjects, in the October Fo-
rum, "but we have had our share of
strife, foreign and domestic. Since
the Revolution there have been wars
with England and with Mexico, with
Tripoli and Algiers; broils with Para
quay and Corea, and a gigantic civil
war; rumors of wars with France,
England, Spain and Italy. There
have been the John Brown raid, the
Barnburner and Fenian raids to Can
ada, many incursions across the
Mexican border. We have had the
Whiskey and Sbavs rebellions; the
election, draft, railroad, reconstruc-
ton, and sundry city riots; we have
had well on to 200 deadly Indian
fights and many awful massacres.
We have lost more men in active wal
since 1776 than any nation ofEurope
This is startling record for a peace

The Weight of a Dollar Bill.

In the treasury at Washington, re-
Gently, the question came up as to the
weight of a dollar bill. Scales of per-
iect accuracy were brought into re-
QUESTION, and hesurprising discovery
was made that twenty-seven 81 notes
weighed exactly as much as n S2Opold
piece. The latter just balanced $40
grains. However, the bills weighed
were periectly new and crisp. Trial
made with soiled notes, such as come
IN every day for redemption, showed
that twenty-seven of them weighed
considerably more than the S2Ocoin.
Every paper dollar on its way through
the world continually accumulates
dirt, prespiration and grease. so that
after. a year of use it is perceptibly
heavier.

Russell Sage to Bows,


The boy who is wanted in the busi-
ness world of to-day must be edu-
Gated, says Russell Sage in an article
on THE Boy That Is Wanted, =" in the
November Ladies' Home journal. If
his parents cannot afford to give him
a high-school or college education, he
must learn to study without the aid
of teacher, in the early morning be-
fore business begins, and in the even
ings after business hours. 1t can no
longer be truthfully said that an edu-
cation is out of any ones reach. Our
splendid school system, where one
has put the priceless treasure of an
education within the reach ofall. The
main thing, in the beginning, that /
would impress upon boys is one of
the commandments, "Honor thy
father and thy mother, that thy days
may be long in the land which the
Lord thy God giveth thee" The boy
who respects his father and mother,
who treats his sisters and brothers
with loving kindness, has laid agood
foundation for a successful career.
You will do as your parents tell you,
and that certainly will be to study.
Don't be in a hurry to get away from
your school books The cares and re-
sponsibilities of business life will come
soon enough. Go to school as long
as you can, and remember, every hour
spent in study in your youth will be
worth money to you in after life.
Read good books-the Bible above
all. Make yourself acquainted with
history. Study the progress of ma
tions and the careers of men who have
made nations great. you have no
library of your own, join one of the
numerous associations to be found
in all cities, where good, healthful
books may be obtained. Learn to
read intelligently, so that you may
turn to practical use in after life the
readings of your youth. BE sure you
begin right. Do not waste time in
reading trashy books.

And patiently endure.

As, one by one. she bore
Her cross-like burdens up the hill,
Till all her toll was Ger

Folded her hands so white,
And she was carried from the home
She always made so bright
Her children reared a monument
That riches could not buy,
The witness of noble life,
Whose record is on high.

None ever saw her name;
For only her own household knew
The vict'ri she had won;

American pork In Eurone.

For over twelve years Italy has
prohibited the American pork pro-
duct from entrance at her ports, but
the United States Government has
now received official notice from the
Italian Government of the revocation
of the degree of prohibition. Italy is
thus demonstrating the progressive
ness of her present rulers, and at the
same time displaying n friendly feel
ing in spite of the recent diplomatic
controversy over the New Orleans
tragedy. 1t is predicted that Italy's
action will largely influence a similar
step on the part of Austria. and il
may spur the French legislature TO
quicken the passage of the bill now
pending in that body to fix a rate of
duty at which our pork shall be ad-
mitted to France. The German mar
ket having already been thrown open.
the prospects of the American pork
trade in Europe are very much en-
larged and both the administration
which has accomplished this new con.
dition of things and the farmers and
producers who will be benefited by Il
are to be congratulated.
