Forage Corn is grown food for
stock instead of being intended solely
for grain. and inch crops a e receiving
more attention than former y.. As the
grain may not fully mature, the time Of
planting, and the method o cultivation
do not depend on a limit d period in
which growth must be ma e. Forage
corn gives a larger yield than ny
other crop, and it mn be rovvn over a
wide extent of territory.1 ike all other
epecial crops, however, its value does
not wholly depend on its bu k, but most..
ly on its quality, and the actual food
contained. Professor Ar is sby, of the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment
Station, has given this subj ct his atten-
tion during the past thr e years, the
method being to grow corn in plots of
about one -twentieth of an acre, and to
note carefully the gross yie d from the
different plots, determine 4. e amount of
the various ingredients, an to test, by
actual. digestion trial, the quantity of
food -which can be assimil ted by ani-]
mals.

There is a rapid increase in th t yield.
of dry matter as the cro approaches
maturity, and the digestisility of this
dry matter appears to slig tip increase
rather than dE crease (whic is the case
with most other crops), the yield of total
digestible food being th e times as
great as that of the same v riety in the
silking stage, and 36 per tent. greater
than when the ears were i the glazing
stage. These results seem differ from,

ADVANTAGES OF FULL 5 ROWTH.
All experiments show hat in the
latter part of the season, after the
growth of the crop has apparently
ceased, there is a very large production
of dry matter. This invi ible growth'
takes place largely in th rain, and
consists in the storing u. of starchy
material and fat, part of wh.ch the plant
assimilates from the air, an part trans-
ferred from the leaves and stalks to the
ears. The mature corn contains a
greater weight of gram, and also abont
the proper proportion of grain and
coarse fodder for product've feeding.
Professor Armsby's expe arnents de-
monstrate, that while a ifr in and fod-
der crop can be thus corninn' d, the fact
that the nutritive matter is taken from
the stalks to fill out the .ea s is a loss
to the stalks, being simply the trans-
ferring of the nurtition of th plant from
one point to another. Whether the work
of the professor 'demonstrates that the
growing of a forage crop with the great-
er proportion of the nutrition stored in
the ears is an advantage in the face of
the fact that the regular corn crop is
looked upon as the main source for
grain, is for the farmer to determine,but
there is one point overlooked by the
prOfessor, which is the succulency of the
material. Re demonstrates the greater
digestsbility of the matured forage,how-
ever, which is valuable, and there is no
doubt that with his experiments in ths
paet,and the work planned for the future,
he will in time reach all, questions con-
nected with corn as a forage crop and
make them plain. His results will give
the forage crop a higher place than it
has before held.

Area and Production—One Way to Sell
Wheat.
The size of the farm does not affect
success. There is no limit to thel pro-
ductive capacity of any -soil, so fat as
the present methods of farming are con-
cerned. In some portions of Belgium,
where the farmers are compelled to
utilize every square foot of land. the
yields are enormous, far exceeding the
farros of any other portion ot the world,
yet the original soil was poor end not
considered very valuable. A high sys-
tem of cultivation has changed the foil
itaelf, which is now very fertile.

that the farmer can turn his atteittiou to

to sell wheat and corn is in the shape of

Clean seed is everything to a farmer,
as it lessens his labor. It is better to

band -pick it, than to -spend . days and
weeks in going over the field to pull out
cockle and other weeds thatrate caused

Of medium size now bring the highest

°plow, ram, %randy, whi ky, firearms, and
ammunition. Violeuce has been excited hy
the traders, numerous merders have 144 n
committed, and the work of the missiorsaripe
is in great peril. Dr. Paton says : "By our
appeals in the interer t 1.1 humanity areas
Britain probibiteil her tra leis on the New
Hebrides and all ,surrounding islands from
using in trade firearms, ammunition, and in-
toxicating drinks, and she pleaded with
America, and all the nations interested, to
join her in this prohibition. Germany and
France eerued to do s ) if America would
join, but, alas 1 America refused; hence
Germany and Franco withdrew from it till
America shall agree. They declare that
otherwise they would hand the whole trade
of the group over to American traders, as
the heathen will trade only for intoxicants,
firearms, and ammunition." It is enough to
make one's blood boil with indignation to
thiek that such words as these can be
spoken. Where ie our American civiliza-
tion, that %e hesitate about following the
lead of Eng and, Germany and France in a
matter of /loch moment as this? We stand,
shall steed, disgraced before the. whole
world until this action ie reversed.—The-

Wet -Weather Talk.
(JAMBS WHITCOMB SILKY.)
It hain't no use to grumble and complain ;
It's just as cheap and easy to rejoice ;
When God sorts out the weather and sends rain,
W'y rain's my choice.
Men gener'ly, to all intentii—
Although they're apt to grumble some—
Puts most their trust in Providence,
And takes things as they come—
That is, the commonality
Of men that's lived as long as me
Has watched the world enough to learn
The j 're not the boss of this concern.
With some, of course, it's different—
I've saw young men that knowed it all,
And didn't like the way things went '
On this terrestrial ball ;
But all the same, the rain, some way,
Reined just as hard on pio-nic _day ;
Er, when they really wanted it,
It maybe wouldn't rain a bit.
Itt this existence, dry and wet
Will overtake the best of men—
Some little shift o' clouds 'll shot
The sun off now an then.
And maybe, whiles you're wondern who
You've fool like lent your umbrell' to
And want it out'll pop the sun,
And you'll be glad you hain't got none.
It enervates the farmers, too— '
They're too much wet, er too much sun,
Er work, er waitio' round to do
Before -the plowin's done.
And mayby, like as not the wheat,
Jest as it looking hard to beat,
Will ketch the storm—and jest aimed
The time the corn's elintin out,
These -here cryolones a-foolin' round—
And back'ard crops 1—and wind and rain !—
And yet the corn that's walleed down
May elbow up again !—
They hain't no eense as I can see,
,Fer mortals, such as us, to be
A faultin' Natchuee wise intents,
And lockin' horns with Providence.
It hain't no use to grumble and complain;
It's jest as oheap and easy to rejoice,
When God sorts out the weather and sends raia
W'y rain's my choice.
Calhoun.
Calhoun Was a man of ScotclArish
origin, NvitliLtlie fervent but sombre en-
ergy characteristic of that race. By tem-
per he was a pe-litical Calvinist, while
South Ca.rolioa gave him foi. a creed
-sravery, of which she was the centee and
the soul.
As a speaker he impressed, not by
anything that appealed to the imagine;
tion, but by intense earnestness,' and
logical force. On his face and character
there was a shade of Sadness, which
deepened as his career took a more tragic
turn.
He was the :first statesman who, dis•
carding not • only -the philosophic': con.
destination of slavery fashionable among
the old Republicans of the South but
the apologies of the moderate upholders,
proclaimed that slavery was a Positive ,
good, that it was the only relation pos-
sible between the white and black races,
and even that the system of society based
on it was the best and alone stable,. while
.the system based on freedom and equal-
ity Was unstable and anarchic. -e --The
United States, Goldwiu Smith.

The Christmas Rose.
The ohrysenthemum was imported into
Europe during the latter part of the seven-
teenth century, and was regarded as belong-
ing to the japonica family, writes Nancy
Mann Waddle in an exquisitely illustrated
article entitled "Tho Imperfect Flower of
Japan" in the November Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. It was first grown in Holland, then im-
ported into England under the name of the
Chusan Daisy."
Our "willow pattern cousins" are very
fond of a form of decorative art, which.
strikes us as very stiff and extremely inar-
tistic, that is, they make statues and forms
of thickly massed ohrysanthemtiins. But,
as a people, they lend suchidistinotive grace
to whatever they undertake that one is al-
most disposed to answer that a chrysanthe-
mum lady, or duck, or pig, might be quaint-
ly charming.
The chrysanthemum is sometimes oalled
the "Christmas Rose," owing to the sweet
old legend which tells us that hhe first chry-
santhemum,
The Rev. Dr. Paton, the venerable mission-

so changed that within twenty -0e years
fourteen thousand converts to Christianity
have been made, two hundred and fifty

who have been saved from aannibalism,
while the scriptures have been translated
into fifteen languages spoken by the natives,
and life and property are rendered safe on
