the awful moral storm through which she
had passed 1T the most sensitive age. A
clear brain and sunny temper finally
brought her to . more cheerful vicN Of
human destiny, and she learned to discuss
the most exciting themes, not only with
out bitterness, but with geniality that
often rises to humor.
The great event Of her early life was tho
removal Of the family in 1883 to Cincin-
natl, where DR.. Lyman Beecher was made
president Of the Lane seminary, q position
he held for twenty years. In such an
environment Harriet Beecher's mental
growth was rapid, and in 1885 she secured
. most fitting partner in her life work by
marrying Professor Calvin Ellis Stowe,
since eminent as writer on church his
tory and similar topics. They had seven
children. 81 whom four survive. The great
storm was brewing. Mrs Stowe, as she
must now be called, had already written
some articles of merit when the contro;
versy Of slavery began to agitate the ma
ton.

Cutting Coarse Fodder.

The Maine station compared the value
of chopped and unchopped hay for COWS
and found no evidence that the chopping
had any effect. Cutting corn was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station The Indiana station found that
steers made better gains on cut than on
uncut clover hay. In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry says
There should be good feed cutter on
every dairy farm, useful for Silo filing
in the fall and for chatting feed in the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine, for then they are
in better condition for feeding, and the
Coars er portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap
Long cornstalks are nuisance In the
feeding manger, worthless for bedding
and troublesome in the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty in feeding
cut Cornstalks. since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. In a few cases we
have found that the sharp ends of the
CornStalks when cut certain lengths IN
lure the mouths of the COWS. When they
are not well eaten, the cause is often
due to overlooking or endeavorlng to
have the cows live on too limited a Vari-
ETY. of foods. Keep the hangers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very little will be left over, and
that only the coarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with the varieties of corn fodder
raised there much more of the cut stalks
will be eaten than if fed uncut under
the same conditions.

John Ploughman's Almanac.

Among the proverbs contained in the
"John Ploughman's Almanac for 1890
there are some which will bear repeti-
ton. Many of those proverbs were col
leCted by MIR. Sturgeon during his life
to be used in future numbers of this
characteristic publication. The follow
ing will give some idea of their wit and
wisdom:
There's a public-house that all can
close; it is between thy chin and nose
A husbands wrath spoils the very
best broth.
It's easier TO pass by the trap than to
get out of it.
Better go to heaven in rags than to
hell in ribbons,
If all lassies were good, there would
be no bad wives.
If all laddies were good, thered be
no bad husbands.
Keep on, and keep on keeping on.
Reckless youth means rueful age.
A boys boots can't be made on his
fathers lasts.
To climb high begin low
Better be last among lions than first
among foxes.
Learn how to die by learning how to
live
Look before you leap even in Leap
Year.
When at Rome do as at home.
Don't borrow trouble, the interest is
too heavy.
To get fragrance grow flowers.
Better be hunted by wolves than to
hunt with them.
Put money in trust; put not trust in
money.
If you deal with the dell you'll get
more bran than meal.
He is easily pleased who is satisfied
with himself.
Even New Years Day has but one
dawn.
