Utilization of Indian-Corn.
A irritcr in the Journal rf tliA Society J
ArUti: The? nm.ze crop, or Indian
corn, i becoming an enormous procure
in ninny connlries, but more e peri.il ly in
the United States, and the great ditlit-ulty
is to know to what useful purjoses V ap
ply th various portions of the plant.
Snue of the attempts made, more or le.-s
Buecesjfully, may bo worth ulluding to
for the information of those jiecially in
terested. The census of 1870 returned the
crop of Indian-corn in the United Matea
at 410,000.000 bushels, but the agricultural
returns of a year or two aero stated the
yield to be over 1 ,0iV.2,000,o00 bushels.
3Ir. Piukenharu, British Secretary of Le
ration, in Lis report on the commerce of
the United States for observes that
between the total consumption and the
total exports as compared with the yield
riven in th oflicial returns there U a sur
plus of nearly rG4,000,000 bushels of
cereal products. Some of this aggregate
is doubtless utilized, but there is no data
or returns anywhere to show it. Inquiry
from season to season only elicits the re
ply that when not burned it is for the
most part applied to some inferior pur
joe or used for manure. Now such a
waste as this, which is continually in
creasing with extended cultivation and
absence of cheap facilities of transport, is
lamentable. Our consumption here of
maize, though large, is never likely to
increase preatlj-, and there is the compe
tition of other corn growing1 countries in
Europe, which grow maize extensively,
such as Russia and the Lower Danube
nnd Turkey (including Moldavia and
Vallachia). Any subsidiary uses that
can be found are therefore beneficial and
deserve notice. The envelopes of the
grain cob (the sheathing leaves inc losing
the head of corn) are large ly used fr
packing oranges and cigars and for stuff
ing mattresses and paillasses. They
should first be spread on an airy floor for
a few days to dry before they are put into
the ticks. In New South Wales very
pood mats are made of it. Taper and
fabrics have also been made of these
leaves extensively in Austria, and the yield
from these is :0 percent, of fiber, 10 of
gluten and CO of dounh of a nutritive
character. Other useful products than
the grain and its leafy covering have been
obtained from the maize; sugar and mo
lasses have been procured from the stalk.
The grain is largely used for distillation.
A bushel of corn gives over a pint of oil,
which is easily purified and burns with a
cl?ar, bright dame. At a distillery in the
vicinity of Lake Ontario oil is extracted
at the rate of sixteen gallons from 100
bushels of Indian corn, leaving the re
maining portion of the corn more
valuable and in better condition
for distillation than before the oil
was extracted. It has been found that
fifty-six pounds of Indian corn manufact
ured into grape sugar produces thirty
eight pounds, and that two pounds 6f
this grape sugar used in brewing produces
one pound of saccharine in solution, so
that one bushel of Indian corn used in the
form of grape sugar produces an extract
of nineteen pounds gravity. The extract
obtained from Indian corn, properly pre
pared, registers on the saccharometer
altoutlhe same as good malt, and for this
reason has found more favor than many
other cereals; but, although this is the
case from the fact that the extract is not a
pure saccharine one as procured from
malt, it is unavailable in brewing to a
larger extent than from 150 to 40 per cent.,
and even not to this extent in summer
time. The cob on which the seed or grain
is ranged is used for various purposes in
North America. It forms a ready stopper
for bottles. (.round into meal it has in
some instances been made into bread, and
farina iias been obtained from it in Aus
tria, and it is an exc ellent food fr dairy
cows. A farmer in Ohio found by com
parative trials that it was cheajwr and
more efficacious than other food. lie
tried corn, oats and rye, and gave 3d.
worth ner day to a cow for a week. She
yielded on this food 1ZH pounds of milk,
making six and three-quarter pounds of
butter. He then fed her with 3d. worth
of cob meal per day for a week. She gave
157 pounds of milk, making seven
pounds seven ounces of butter, lie then
tried the cob-meal scalded for a week; the
cow gave 150 '4 pounds of milk, yielding
six pounds six ounces of butter. Maize
cobs have recently been extensively used
for lire-lighters. The' are first steeped in
hot water containing 2 per cent of salt
peter, and after lieing dried at a high
temperature are saturated with 50 per
cent, of resinous matter. These lighters,
which are sold at from 10s. to lts. the
thousand, are employed with advantage
anl economy in private houses and for
lighting furnaces. IJy others the cobs are
immersed in a mixture of sixty parts of
melted resin and forty parts of tar, after
w hich they are taken out and allowed to
dry. They arc then subjected to a second
operation, which consists in spreading
them out on a metallic plate heated to 212
degrees Fahrenheit. They are finally as
sorted according to size and tied up in
bundles and sold at the rate of three or
four for a halfpenny. The establishment
in I'aris (Laociete des Allumettes J.an
daises) for manufacturing them employs
thirty workmen and effects sales to the
amount of JtS.UOO annually.

The Boston JournnV New York cor
respondent writes: A New York merchant
died the other daj' whose early life has a
good lesson for young men to copy. lie
went as a boy into the "swamp" and took
the rough work connected with the leather
business. At his mother's request he
joined a Sunday-school. From that he
joined the church. He was not only jkn
culiar for his readiness to work but his
readiness to give. There was hardly any
thing started that he did not help along in
an humble way with his humble means.
His church was in a tight place, as New
York churches are apt to be. The mem
bers were assessed generally, and he was
assessed $25. He couldn't" have raised
that sum if he had sold all his clothes anil
trinkets. One day a man came into the
yard and showed him the skin of a musk
rat, toid him how he caught the animal
and cured the skin. He said nothing, but
that night after work was clone he went
down to the dock and captured a few rats.
He kept the work up lor a week. He
cured the skins and found a ready sale for
them, lief ore the subscription lecame
due he had $25 and a handsome balance
over. He was sensible enough to see the
handsome business open to him. He
turned out to le a first-class business man
and died leaving a fortune of half a mill
ion. A Happy Conple.
A man should always be a little older, a
little braver, and a little stronger, and a
little wiser, and a little more in love with
her than she is with him. A woman should
always le a little younger, and a little
prettier, and a little more'eonsiderate than
her husband. He should bestow upon
her all his worldly goods, and she should
take good care of them. He may owe her
every care and tenderness that affection
can prompt; but pecuniary indebtedness
to her will become a burthen. Better live
on a crust that he earns than on a fortune
she has brought him.
Neither must be jealous, nor give the
other cause for jealousy. Neither must
encourage sentimental friendships with
the opposite ser. Perfect confidence in
each other, and reticence concerning their
mutual affairs, even to members of their
own families, is a first necessity.
A wife should dress herself becomingly
whenever she expects to meet her hus

Sisters and brothers may quarrel

How Democratic "Reform" Sares
Money.
Gov. Tilden in his electioneering
speeches among the farmers dwells espe
cially and very properly upon the heavy
indebtedness incurred by the Federal,
State, county and municipal govern
ments of the country and exhibits the ag
gregates In a striking manner. The Buf
falo Courier gives the partisan conclusion
which the Governor intends to be drawn
from his remarks by confining itself
chiefly to the national aspect of the
case, nnd saying that a "simple statement
of facts and figures, Illustrating existing
evils, must also illustrate the fearful re
sponsibility of that party which has been
dominant 111 the nation for fifteen years
and which is now waging war against
the cause of reform in this State." As to
the asse rtion involved in this last sentence
evcrv intelligent reader of the Courier
must know that it is slfeer buncombe
not to say cheeky falsehood. This cause
of reform is far safer in the hands of the
Republican party than in. those of the
Democratic parly a party which Gov.
Tilden rules one year longer but of which
Tammany Hall is the permanent master
as figures will show.
Now how does the account stand be
tween the IJepublican-Federal Adminis
tration and that of Tammany Democracy?
While the former has reduced the national
debt six hundred millions since the war,
the latter, in New York city, has increased
its debt steadily and rapidly by open and
well-known ttea'inn, until Democratic pa
pers ix.ldly talk of bankruptcy for the
city and lynch law for Democratic officials.
We do not forget that the bulk of this na
tional debt was created by a Democratic
relx llion.and when the' howl about debts
they undertake to charge on us their own
sins. If we had " let the Union slide" we
should have avoided this debt and that is
just what they wanted us to do. The plain
fact is that the Democrats are responsible
for both national and munic ipal debts,
and, as the lawyers say, they can't plead
their own torts in their own behalf. Not
withstanding they didn't create it, the
Republicans propose to go on and pay up
the national debt. They would do the
same for the city of New York if they
were allowed and it never will be settled
or reduced until the Republicans do "get
a whack at it."
So much lor debt. Now as to economy
of expenditure. Here the contrast is still
more damaging to the party of Tilden and
Tammany. Geo. W. Blunt, a well-known
citizen of that city, recently stated the
case in these concise terms:
The expenses of the New York city
government are $:5.000,000 per annum;
population say 1,200,000. The population
of the United States is 40.000,000; a corre
sponding rate of expenditure would be $1,
y 70.000,000. Now what is it? Two hun
dred and forty-one million dollars. Of this
JW.OOO.OOO is for the interest of the nation
al debt; $:SO,000,(K0 for pensions both
created bv the treason of the Democratic
party; $ii0,0o0,000 fur the reduction of the
debt, the same creation, which has been
reduced $WHJ,000,0(0. Since the close ot
the rebellion New York city has been in
creasing her debt until the prospect is that
of bankruptcy. So much for Democratic
rule. Those who like it may go for its
revival."
This "extravagant" Federal Adminis
tration spends the excessive sum of six
fJollin per head of population, while the
"economical and reform" Tammany only
spends the trifle of twenty-nine dollar per
head. Tammany " economy" is onlyjfr
times as expensive as Republican "ex
travagance." As by the Courier own
argument Republican financiering is on
the top shelf of lavish expenditure, and
Democratic at the lowest notch of its
capacity for close living, we'd like to
know where the country would be if
Democracy got in power and "let itself
out" a little? Can the Courier give us
some little idea of about how long it would
take for Tammany " economy" to " bust"
this country at the rate of five times as
much spent at the bottom of the scale as
Republicans spend at the top"!
Again, we recall that over half of this
annual expenditure of the Republicans is
on account of Democratic treason. If we
had not been compelled to fight Democracy
as well as to vote it clown, we could have
run the Government at $2.2 per head, as
against $2t.HS per head of Tammany rule.
But it in tabular form:
Tammany !-pentls ner head $30 16
Ucjmblicuus i-peud ner head ti Oi
Apparent balance npiiro-t Tammany $Si 14
Add for iiccouut of Democratic treason 3 20
Ileal balance against Tammany Jj 31
Which shows that if "Republican ex
travagance," unhampered by the results of
Democratic treason, had prevailed in New
York in place of " Democratic reform,"
the tax payers of that unhappy city would
have saved $26.34 out of every $20 of ex
penditure; and the "cause of reform,
against which the Republican party is
waging war," according to the Courier,
promises to swell national expenses from
$3.20 to $29.1(5. Pretty high price to pay
for "reform!"
We have equally startling contrasts to
make trherecer Democrats and Republicans
have had control, but defer it to other ar
ticles. The Courier and Gov. Tilden have
raised a very damaging issue for them
selves. Buffalo Exirets.
The Two Kecords.
We do not say that every friend of the
Union is a Republican, but we do say that
every enemy of the Union is a Democrat.
e do not say that every Democrat fa
vored the success of the Southern Confed
eracy, but we do say that no Republicans
were found in the ranks of the rebel
armies.
We do not say that all the Democrats of
the South have engaged in the Ku-Klux
and White League outrages, but we do say
that those who committed these outrages
were Democrats.
Th re are many patriotic Democrat
who desire to do right; who would not,
knowingly, do wrong; who favor the
restoration of their party to power I ec nis-e
they bone-t y b lieve that it would best
serve the interests of the nation. If such
men were in the majority and able to
control the party, but little danger might
come fio:n their ascendency. "Rut tiiey
are in a hopeless minority, and could r.b
more control the ac tions of the Demoeiat
ic party than an infant c ould a ship at st a.
Their good intentions would pas for
naught; their patriotism would have 10
weight; their advice would be laughed at.
These men belong, of right, to the'liepul .
lican party. Prejudice lias kept them 01 1
of its ranks. They have stayed with the
Democ ratic party in the vain hope th;.t
they might restore its departed fortunes
and, with them, its lot honor.
We oppose the Democratic party le
cause we see in its ranks tens of thou
sands of men who are enemies to the Gov
ernment, who make no secret of their
hostility to it and its free institutions. We
favor the Republican party because we
find no such enemies in its ranks. Every
Republican is a proclaimed friend of the
Republic and its free institutions. We
readily admit that some Democrats could
be trusted with power; but there are so
many having a controlling influence who
cannot be trusted that opposition to the
party becomes a public duty. We as free
ly admit that there are some Republicans
who cannot be trusted with power, but
there are so many who can be, who con
trol the party and shape its policy through
their wisdom and patriotism, that the sup
port ot the party becomes a high public
duty. In other words, w hat we deem the
dangerous clement in the Democracy is in
the majority, while in the Republican
party it Is in a hopeless minority. We
prefer a party whote majority can be trust
ed to a party whose majority cannot be.
In Democracy the few are worthy of con
fidence; in Republicanism the many are
worthy of it Why should the good citi
zen hesitate in his choice? Common
sense and ordinary business sagacity
should be sufficient to incline him to the
support of that party which has the best
rec ord and the largest number of good
men to sustain it. Republic Magazine.

A Quaker Wedding In England.
The Newcastle (England) Chronicl
gives the following description of a recent
wedding ceremonv at a Friends' meeting
house at Darlington :
Among the rirst to arrive at the chapel
Mr. John Rriirht and Mrs. Bright,
w ho seated themselves at the furthest end
of the meeting-house, underneath the seat
reserved lor the " elders.'
The bridal party entered the church at
half-past ten, and took the seats allotted
to them at the upper end of the room,
around a small table on which rested the
certificate of marriage. There was a
pause of considerable duration while the
chapel was being filled, and then Mr.
Samuel Hare rose from his seat on an ele
vated dais the only equivalent for a pul
pit or platform which the rnencis possess
and announced that as many of those
present might not be aware that the sol
cmnization of the marriage rite was con
ducted by the Friends in the same manner
as their public worship, he hoped the con
gregation would unite in prayer for a
blessine on their proceedings. Another
pause ensued, the silence being so pro
found that the fall of a pin might have
been heard.
Mrs. Catherine Backhouse, of Beech
wood, a lady stric ken in years and appar
ently very.leeble in body, thougn iun 01
spiritual unction, next rose to her feet and
made signs that she w as going to engage
in prayer, w hereupon the congregation as
a whole stood up, and some of the old
Quakers who had until now kept on their
hats, in a manner that most insensibly
suggested a contrast with the House of
Commons, devoutly uncovered and bent
their heads. The prayer of Mrs. Back
house was characterized by great fervor
and remarkable appropriateness.
On its conclusion another prolonged in
terval of silence occurred, and then, with
out the slightest call or premonition, Mr.
Harrison Penny rose and delivered a short
exhortation. And now came the act of
marriage. Without being called upon by
anyone, and without the aid of either
priest or presbyter, the bridegroom quiet
ly rose and 6aicl : " In the fear of
God, and in the presence of this
assembly, I, A. Richardson, take
Lmina Leal ham to be my w ife, promis
ing to be unto her a loving and faithful
husband until it shall please the Lord by
death to separate us." A similar declara
tion was then made by the bride in a clear
and articulate voice nothing being said
by either as to honoring and obeying the
other. The making and signing of this
declaration is the whole ceremony of
marriage among the Society of Friends.
After it was over, however, Mr. S. Hare
offered up a short praj er, chiefly directed
toward an invocation of blessing on the
newly-married pair. The clerk of the
meeting (Mr. Willmot) then came forward
and read the certificate to the assembled
congregation. It bore that the bride and
bridegroom " having duly made known
their intention of taking each other in
marriage, and public notice of such inten
tion having been given, and the consent
of surviving parents having been signi
fied, the proceedings of the said Alfred
Richardson and Lmma Leatham were al
lowed at the monthly meeting f the re
ligious Society of Friends, held at Dar
lington, in the county of Durham, and the
solemnization of the said marriage took
place at a public meeting for worship of
the aforesaid society in their meeting
house at Darlington." After this certifi
cate had been read over it was conveyed
back to the table and signed by the bride
groom and bride, next by the mother of
the bride and Mr. W. If. Leatham, and
afterward by J. T. Richardson, C. E.
Richardson, John Bright and Mrs. Bright
It was announced that at the close of the
meeting an opiortunity would be afforded
to anjone who wished to sign the certifi
cate of doing so, " so far as room can be
found." The certificate was beautifully
illuminated, and contained in the upper
left-hand corner excellent photographs of
the bride and bridegroom. At the con
cision of the service, which now termi
nated, a number of the congregation re
mained for the purpose of signing the
certificate of marriage.
A hearty cheer was given to Mr. Bright
as the right honorable gentleman emerged
from the meeting-house.
Tecnliarities of Chinese Women.
The women are certainly not pretty;
tho.e one sees working out of doors are
decidedly coarse-looking, and their cos
tume in ibis part of China most unbecom
ing, consisting of a short black blouse
confined at the waist by a belt, a small
white apron, and verj', very short, wide
trousers, sometimes hardly reaching the
knee, below which the leg is left entirely
bare, and their feet thrust into straw slip
pers with no heels, which they cafl only
keep on by shuffling along the ground in
a most irritating manner. Their redeem
ing feature Is their hair, which as well as
their "eyes i invariably black, and almost
as invariably neatly dressed. How the
dressing is accomplished in such hard,
smooth rolls, and twisted up behind into
such a curious form, resembling the
handle of a teapot, I cannot tell. A long,
ornamental pin is stuck through it, which
protrudes a good many inches on each
side of the hair; and a bright flower,
either real or artificial, worn at one side,
gives them, in spite of their plain looks,
rather a picturesque appearance. Their
heads seem more impervious to heat and
cold than those of the men, as they seldom
wear any covering except that bestowed
on them by nature, and of which, by the
by, the men are defrauded ; so that the
working classes have to supply the defi
ciency by wearing the large, slightly coni
cal hat which 3-ou see in any pictures of
Chinamen, and which answers equally
well the purpose of sunshade or umbrella.
The dress of the better class of women is,
I think, rather pretty, and certain by most
sensible; for, as it does not fit to the
figure, very little may be worn in sum
mer and a great deal in winter, without
inconvenience. In their case, both the
under garments and a petticoat descend to
the ankle; onl- the upper one of all is
short, and the color nnd material of the
whole costume is varied according to taste
and Hie season of the year. Their feet
also are clad like ours in stoc kings, and
they wear the u.-ual verj" thick but light
soled shoes. I speak of course of those
who allow their feet to remain in the
natural form. The small-footed women
look as if their heels were liound tightlj'
up so as to form part of the leg, and their
toes only were left for use. The result is
they go at an uncomfortable pace, half
walk, half run, and a descent on their
noses would seem inevitable but for the
stick with which they help themselves
along. Letter from China.
The Tovrer of Kindness.
Walking down a country lane the other
morning i heard a gentle whistle behind
me, and almost simultaneously a shrill
neigh burst upon 1113- ear from the neigh
lring field. Turning around I was
about to retrace my steps toward a man
whom I saw standing by the field gate,
about a hundred yards awaj-, and whom
I presumed had given the call, when a
pony dashed past me at full gallop on the
opposite side of the fence toward the gate,
and before I had gone many yards was
lieing quietly led out by the man. Feel
ing interested, not to say delighted, at this
proof of the power of kindness for such I
bad no doubt was Hie cause of this ready
obedience I questioned the man, who,
seeing that I was interested, told me that,
having leen accustomed to groom and
feed the animal, he was in the habit of
calling it from the fields by the peculiar
whistle of w hich I hail just now seen the
effect; that many others had likewise
tried to call him, but always signally
failcd, the pony taking not the slightest
heed of them. He acknowledged that it
was through kindness and attention alone
that this was gained. In his absence an
other groom having to catch the pony
would attempt the call, but whistle and
chirp as he would it was no use; he was
always obliged to enterthe field, basket in
hand, and so lure it to the halter. J. A.,

To Wash Dress Linen. It is said
that a teaspoonful of black pepper put
into the first water in which gray ui null
linen is washed will keep it from spotting.
It will also keep the colors of black and
colored cambrics and muslins from run
ning.
Black Stencil Ink. Take shellac, two
parts; borax, one part; soft water, ten
parts, and gum arabic one part, then add
lampblack and indigo in sufficient quan
tities. Boil the shellac and borax in the
water until dissolved, then add the gum,
and withdraw the mixture from the hre.
When cold add the lampblack to bring it
to a suitable color, and lastly a very small
quantity of finely-powdered indigo to give
it a real let shade. W lien made, keep in
glass or earthenware vessels. Manu

Cucumber Catsup. Take of full-grown
cucumbers, say one peck; remove the
rind, and cut them down lengthwise, then
into thin, dice-shaped pieces; strew half a
pint of salt on them ; let them stand five
or six hours; then put them on a sieve to
drain until quite dry. Peel and slice
twelve large silver-skinned onions, put
them with the cucumbers into a stone pot,
and cover them with strong vinegar. Add
for seasoning a table-spoonful of black pep
per beaten up fine, a teaspoonful of Cay
enne, a gill of sweet-oil, a gill of cider
or wine, and a lew blades of mace
Instead of putting away in one large stone
tar, it answers admirably to fill this with
catsup wide-mouthed glass bottles; and it
you have a lew pods ot a miniature
variety of red pepper, often procurable, to
use instead of the pulverized Cayenne, it
gives the sauce ciuite an ornamental ap
pearance. It is not generally known that
the largest cucumbers, ripened almost
enougli tor seed, serve admirably lor mak
ing this sort ot catsup. If the bottles are
carefully sealed up there is no danger
whatever of spoiling. Harper s Btizar.
Swindling Farmers.
There is a class of people who make
swindling of farmers a specialty. They
are like a clam out of water when not thus
engaged; and the only way we know for
the larmer to rid himself ot them is to do
with them as he would with a clam eat
'em up. You cannot effectually drive
them olt. l hey will pounce down on you
somewhere if not on the farm the first
time you go to town; and it is necessary,
therefore, to be always on your guard
We do not mean that you are to be incred
ulous when anything of merit comes be
fore you, and credulous when King Hum
bug himself appears to view.
1 hen there are so many ways by which
these sw indlers work. If they cannot get
j our money thej' will have you sign an
apparently harmless note. It they cannot
cio mat tiiey will adopt some course bv
w hich, if the farmer gives way at all, he
is sure to nnd himself in the cellar in the
end. To illustrate we will give a case

No. 542, Butler County, Pa. It happened
only a lew miles lrom Butler borough:
A man about thirty-five yearsof age. m&
dium height and of light complexion,
made his appearance in the neighborhood,
ostensibly to buy a farm. He represented
lnmselt as having lately been engaged in
the lumber trade at or near Altoona, Pa
He agreed to pay ?100 down to close the
bargain, and was very particular in bind
ing McP. to keep the farm in good order
and the fences in good repair until fall, at
w hicli time lie was to receive possession
llic parties repaired to Butler to conclude
their business. The stranger presented a
check for ?.i00 at one ot tbe Butler banks,
but being a stranger the bank officials re
fused to cash it unless indorsed by some
responsible party. Unfortunately Mr
McP. was " mild" enough to indorse the
chec k. I he sharper paid McP. $100 and
has not been heard from since. A tele
gram to Altoona revealed the fact that the
check was worthless, but it was too late;
the sharper had got away w ith 400.
As these swindlers will continue to fol
low their nefarious business so long as
thev are successful the best plan by w hich
to escape their snares is for every farmer
10 ue a constant reauer 01 some good, live
paper. Occasional reports of these swin
dling operations keep the reader on the
alert. "Where he fails to read he becomes
slack in these things, and along comes
one of the " fancy men," who robs him in

Agricultural Experiments.
One thing thatcould beprofitably made
the subject of a scries of careful experi
ments is the feeding cf milch cows. The
usual practice of farmers is to give no ex
tra feed from the time they go on pasture
in the spring uniil they go into w inter
quarters. I believe that it will pay not
only to grow some green crop to cut and
feed in the barnyard when the pasture
gets short, but tltat it will be found profit
able when the pasture is at its best to feed
bran or bran and corn-meal mixed, and
that by so doing we should not only get
enough more milk to pay for the extra
Iced, but a much better quality ot butter.
To test this, weigh the milk for one w eek
when the cow is on grass alone. The next
week feed, say, two quarts of bran and
meal, then try another week on grass, and
the succeeding week feed four quarts a
day of the mixture. Then try bran alone
for one week, giving more in bulk, but 01
the same value as the bran and meal
mixed. Let these experiments run through
several months and be tried with different
cows, and some definite results will be ob
tained. I should have said at the begin
ning that all these experiments should lie
made & matter of record, that nothing
should be left to the memory, and that
there should be no guess work, but every
thing should be weighed or measured.
Another experiment in which all farm
ers are interested might be made with
hogs. Let some farmer who has stock
scales weigh both hogs and corn, and lie
able to tell just how much pork a bushel
of corn will make. It would be interest
ing also to test the different breeds under
the same treatment A pair of Poland
Chinas and a pair of Berkshires might be
taken and fed together until ready for
market, and their relative value deter
mined.
The proper distance apart for planting
corn should also be tested. I would lay
off a field four feet apart one way, and
the other way I would lay it off three feet
apart, ten rows four feet and ten rows
lour and a halt leet. 1 would thin part
to two stalks in a hill, part to three, and
in part would leave four. And at husk-lng-time
I would carefully weigh the
corn from each lot, and estimate the num
ber of hills and stalks per acre by each
method, and also how many hills or
stalks it took to make a bushel of corn.
The renovation of worn-out soils by
green manuring should be made a matter
of careful and continued experiment.
While the value of the plan is conceded,
most farmers know practically but little
about it. We should test rye, buckwheat,
corn, broom-corn, and anything that can
lio li 0.1 rvl v m1 n 1 1 i f L 1 v (rrntt'n L- n i r rr
an account of the labor and expense, and
recording the effect on the soil.
I he application and value ot manure is
an interesting subject for experiment, and
should be carried out in various ways so
as to answer the following questions: How
can we best apply manure? by plowing
under, or as a top-dressing for wheat?
broadcast or in the hill for corn ? At what
price can the farmer afford to buy manure
and haul it two miles ? What commercial
manures, if any, can he use with profit? A
number of interesting experiments could
be had with the potato crop which would
throw light on the question of large or
small seed, the bestdistance apart to plant
the number of ej-csto be used to a hill, flat
or hill culture, etc.
The w heat crop open3 a w ide field for
experiment. Try different amounts of
seed to the acre. Also drilling half the
seed one way and cross-drilling the other
half. lut on a single acre, in the way of
harrowing, dragging, etc., the amount of
work usually applied to two or three acres ;
and also make some experiments with
manure.
The growing of forage crops is but lit
tle understood, and j-et it is a matter of
great importance to farmers. In many
seasons pastures and meadows are short
and it becomes necessary to supplement
the hay crop in some way, and this can
be easily done by growing specially for
this purpose. But how many farmers can
give accurately the cost or value of these
crops? Ix.-t experiments tell the best time
to sow. Shall corn for fodder be sown
broadcast or in drill ? Shall we seed heav
ily, or thin enough that the stdks will
produce small ears? How shall we cut
and handle the crop?
I might extend this list of experiments,
but enough has been written to suggest
the idea that I wish to convey. That tann
ers are deeply interested in eveiything of
this kind is proved bj' the lact that all
records of such experiments are read with
great interest. The good results of such
a plan would reach further than the set
tling of the practical questions involved,
for the mind of the farmer would be waked
up, habits of observation fostered, and the
tendency would be to make not only bet
ter farmers but men of greater intelligence
and accuracy. Agricola, in Enquirer.
The Toy Industry.
TriE quantity of toys sent from the
workshops of I ranee, Germany and
Switzerland to this country annually is
very large, and it may be said, indeed,
that a great portion ot thesupplies ot these
manufactures for the w hole world come
from the three countries named.
The specialties in this curious line of
industry in which France excels are the
clockwork and mechanical toys. Box
toys, as they are termed, that is, the 1111
merous little turned or carved toys sold in
boxes, are chiefly from Germany such
as Noah's arks, troops of soldiers, tea-sets,
farm yards, etc. being mainly produced
at Nurnberg, Frankfort and the Black
lorest. The Sw iss toys are mostly in
white wood and comprise such articles as
carved figures, cottages and the variety of
jointed forms tised by artists. 1 he con
juring tricks, dissec ting puzzles, skeleton
maps and the like are mostly Lnghsh.
Singularly enough, the sciences which-
are laid under contribution in the con
struction of toys arc almost as multifari
ous as the arts employed in the manufact
ure ol them. J hus optics gives IN burn
ing glass, its microscope, its magic
lantern, its stereoscope, its phantasma-
scope and a variety ot others; electricity,
its Leydcn jars, galvanic batteries, elec
trotypes, etc.; chemistry, its balloons,
fireworks and crackers; mechanics, its
clock-work mice, its steam and other car
riages; pneumatics contributes its kites
and wind-mills; acoustics, its jewsharps,
musical glasses and the usual assortment
of similar devices in line, it may be said
that there is scarcely a branch ot know!
edge Avhich is not made available in some
way in this curious and popular industry.
Nor are the arts and artisans that are
called into play in these manufactures few
in number. There is the turner, to turn
the handles of the skipping ropes, the
nine-pins, the peg, the humming and the
whipping tops, the hoop-sticks," etc. ; the
basket-worker, to make dolls' cradles,
rattles and wicker-work carts and car
riages; the tinman, to manufacture tin
sw ords and shields, pea-shooters, carts,
money boxes and innumerable other ar
ticles ; the pew terer, to cast the metal sol
diers and dolls' cups and saucers and fire
irons and knives and forks, plates and
dishes, chairs and tables; the modeler,
to make the skin and composition ani
mals; the glass-blower, to make the dolls'
eyes, and the wig-maker to make the curls ;
almost every craft, in fact, being repre
sented. St. Louis liepubliean.
Answers to Correspondents.
Benjamin. Woman is an enigma, and
it is impossible to tell by her actions
whether the young lady loves you or not.
You think she does. It may be, but as
she sits down on your hat everv time you
come, and puts gum and shoemaker's wax
on your chair, and won't speak to you
when sue meets you, and sets the dog: cm
j-ou, and gets her brother to thrash you,
ami nas iier miner kick you uui 01 me
house, and had you arrested and locked
up two or three times for seeking her
presence, and is to be married to-morrow
to a school-teacher from Illinois, we
should hardly think she loves 3 011 as 3-011
would want your wife to love you. Still,
as you say, women are singular creatures,
and there is no nidging their feelings by
their actions. Nevertheless we fear 3'ou
are misjudging Emil3' when you think she
is passionately fond of j'ou.
UEMETKius. We are astonished that a
High School scholar should ask such a
question. It is colder in winter than it
is in summer, not, as 30U ignorantly sup
pose, because the sun is farther away but
because its indirect rays at the parallax
of the primal 113-pothegenese are dia
metrically tubercular to the divergent per
ihelion of the antipodal thesis. By means
of this apparent conjunction the extianael
113'pologou is interrupted by thessacular
hnonsials, and the duodecanemenagcthal
biccpital troches, containing the emer
gent fetishism of latent and non-separable
heat, are diverted. This can be proven by
a simple, inexpensive and interesting ex
periment. Procure a narrow strip of inch
board, say about two inches wide, and nail
a basswood spool to the end. Then bore a
hole through the board, so that j-ou can
see through it by placing 3"our cj-e at the
spoof. At exactly noon on a clear ua
go out in the yard and lie down on 3-our
back. Hold the end of the board in your
right hand, so that the spend will rest on
3'our right eye, and 3 0U can see the sky
and sun through the hole in the spool.
Then have 3 011V sister take a croquet mal
let and hit the board a swat right over the
spool. The remainder of the experiment
is so simple that the succeeding steps will
readily suggest themselves to you. But if
your sister knows what is good for her she
had better hang on to that mallet until she
gets safely into the house. Burlington

Like the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes In
the back. They feel dull anfi sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa
tion at the pit of the stomach, which food
docs not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets in, at first
tfry, but uftcr a few months it is attended
with greenish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
docs not appear to afford any rest. After 11
tin'ie he becomes nervous," irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
a giddiness, a sort of wliirling'scnsation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the skiu is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high-colored, depositing a sediment after
standing. There i frequently a spitting up
of the food, sometimes with a sour iaste
and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is a feeling of
great prostration and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. It is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. It has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
ease, etc., etc., but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. It is found, however, that the
S1iAM.1t Extract of Hoots (not a patent
mrJieine, when prepared properly, will re
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.
