A Novel Serenade.

These beautiful moonlight nights,
with the mellow glow of exquisite
radiance and good cheer that cause
the heart to leap and thrill in re-
Spouse to every call of nature. afford
lovely and seductive incentive for
5esenading parties. As customary,
here and there the festive choiristers
of slumbering night are invited in
to tempting spreads hastily arranged
by fair and dainty hands. But the
romance-loving young people of this
town departed from this ancient
custom of serenade Friday night,
when they turned up suddenly like
forty or fifty Halloween angels just
from the trailing vines and brilliant
hued blossoms of the garden of Hes
perides, and surrounded the cosy
little parsonage Of the Methodist
preacher with gladstone melody of
song and instrumental music. 1t
was only after the tall form of the
pastor appeard in the door way and
a stumble over a ''spread" piled
all over the front porch that he had
more to thank the "night maraud-
ers" for more sweets than their law
ish sweetness of song. The most
beautiful and touching feature of
the "serenade'' was that every bun
die and package bore delicate and
characteristic scriptural Offering
the sentiment felt by each for the
faithful and humble servant of God.
All the churches were equally well
represented in giving cheer to sad
ly broken and shattered, almost des-
olate home, once so full of Joy and
gladness, when the hearthstone was
blessed by the pure, christian life
of the sweetest and best of mothers
and now the sanity guardian of a
widely scattered family.
The wild rose, with its scarlet
hued face Of bold and brazen fore
ward and its highly perfumed dress
of loud and gaudy green, one day
approached the queenly, majestic
Marechal Mel and said: "Madam,
I'll give you big price to tell why
you are more sought after than l,
and where it is hidden and by what
secret process you get that rare and
exquisite odor, and that rich and
lovely color of face" Said the Gull
tured and refined beauty: "The Sc

lowly meekness and Discrimination

know from whence that sweetness
you speak of comes, ] am uncon.
scious of it. If you could but look
deep down into my heart you might
discover what the God of love and

TALK WITH FARMERS.
The Man Who Wrote 1t IL Something
of q Grower, But He Tells Moth
ing But the Truth,

One must own enough farm imple-
ments and animals to do his. work
rightly. A poor man cannot own
horses valued at 500 each, but his
poverty is no excuse for poor, ENACT
ated, half-killed stacks of bones"
Make barns more for comfort than
for style, but do not be afraid to
fix up your outhouses-barns, sheds
and chicken houses-so as to have the
appearance that indicates that a well.
TODD farmer dwells there Build your
barns with plenty of shed and nipple
ment room. Do all the fall breaking
you can. If need be, hire man with
team and pillow to assist you. Do not
work your team to death. Do not
make the boys do the work while you
sit beneath the shade, idling away
the hours, and don't make your girls
get out in the field to the drudgery of
farm work. Do not say: "Well feed
them for their work, and I'll just put
them to raking stalks or hoeing
corn" 1t is to be hoped young men
will see them if you do, and take pity
on the poor things. If they were
manly they would marry them to re-
lieve their father, and more especial
ly to relieve the girls of their obnox-
ious parent. Give your sons and
daughters good school education if
nothing more. Don't send them one
day and stop them another; better
keep them at home all the time. l
would tell you not to maltreat dumb
animals, but that story has grown
old, ever SO old, and yet the farmer
mistreats his stock just the same. He
feeds them little and beats them
much; while we all know it should be
wee versa.-M. Louis Mertins, in Prai-
RE Farmer.

It is SO thickly seeded that the sun
cannot reach all parts of the growing
plant there is produced a product
which is lacking in digestibility and
which is not.relished by farm stock.
A few years ago some experiments
were conducted by the Cornell expert
ment station, the object being to de-
termine what method of planting corn
produced greatest food value. Certain
plats were drilled in thickly so that
no ears would develop, others were
planted with the rows 40 inches apart
and with the plants close together in
the row, and other plats were plant
ed in hills from three to 3b feet
apart. While larger quantity of
produce was obtained per acre where
the corn was drilled in thickly, yet
it contained a higher per cent. of mois-
ture and was deficient in protein and
in fat.
While the money value of the
broadcasted corn is not very different
from the value of that grown on the
other plat, this estimate does not take
into account the digestibility of the
various products.
The variety of corn which shall be
planted must be determined some
what by local conditions. In central
New York the Pride of the North gives
very satisfactory results. Whatever
variety is selected, it should be one
which shall approach maturity before
frost. The man who plants so thickly
that he cuts it with the reaper is sure
ly failing to get best results, says
Country Gentleman, in conclusion to
the foregoing advice.

CORN FOR THE SILO.
That Shall Approach Maturity
Before Frost.

The more corn there is put into the
silo the greater will be the value of
the product removed from the silo.
There is a popular notion that the en-
Staging of corn adds something to its
value which is not contained in the
original material. This notion is
wrong, and the greater the feed value
of the product put into the silo the
greater the feed value of the ensilage
will be. Corn should be planted for
the silo but little, if any, thicker on
the ground than it should be planted
where the object is to produce grain.
Corn is distinctively sun plant, and if
