 Expert Dr. Velcker has analyz>d fod- der rape and finds it to be richer in fatty matter than any other green food crop. Neither sheep nor cattle should be put upon rape food altogether at first, as they will eat too much of 1t. Let them come up to the full ration gradually. Fodder rape leaves are smooth and of a very dark color, almost black.

 Cut sweet corn when in milk. Let 1t dry out quite thoroughly. Make stack of this with sweet hay in alternate lay CTS of six or eight inches.

 POLITICAL NOMINATIONS.
 How many mighty intellects have gone down under the dissipation of politicsl think of one who came from the west. He was able to stand out against the whole American senate. God had given him faculties enough to govern king dom or to frame constitution. His voice was terrible to his country's ene- mics and a mighty inspiration in the day of national peril. But 20 glasses of strong drink day were his usual allowance, and he went down into the habits of confirmed inebriate.
 Alas for him! Though costly monu- ment has been reared over his resting place, the young men of this country shall not be denied the awful lesson that the agency by which the world was robbed of one of it's mightiest intellects, and our country of one of it's ablest con- stitutional defenders, was the dissipa- ton of political life.
