Money In Sweft Corn.
An Ohio farmer grows over 500 acres
of this crop annually. The drying
house employs over SO persons. The
fresh ears are steamed five minutes to
"set the milk," the grain is then cut off
rapidly with cutters having concave
faces; then spiead on perforated zinc
tobies, and heat applied for tour or five
hours in long furn ces, stirring con
stantly; then packed in barrels of three
bushels each for shipment. Great care,
is taken to have the corn of the right
age, and to have it dried enough to
keep well. Pour bushels of corn on the
cob make one bushel dried the whol
sale price of which is $20 to S22 per
barrel. At 50 bushels of corn per acre,
500 aerts would yield 25,000 bushels
and give over 2,000 barrels of dried
corn, which, at $20 per barrel, would be
140,000.
Fattening Poultry.
A letter ou this subject, by Henry
Eliot, Washington county, Ohio, fur
nishes some very interesting items In
relation to the cramming process prac
ticed by French and English feeders in
this country, who go on the prnciple of
giving fowls not only all the food they
would naturally eat, but forcing an ex
tra amount, which makes them dull
and sleepy, and thus increases the tend
ency to fatten. The feeders especially
esteem buckwheat for this purpose;
also employ oat and corn meal, and
mixing it rather stiff and rolling it into
what are termed "crams" i. e masses
two inches long, of the thickness of a
man's little finger. The crams, dipped
into milk or water, are pushed into the
mouth and throat of the fowl until the
crop is full, the operation being repeat
ed two or three times a day. In raising
poultry for the table, the farmer, said
Mr. Eliot, should not forget that the
chickens must be kept growing from
the time they are hatched, or their
frame-work will become stunted and
fixed, and prevents their afterwards
obtaining large size. The best food
after chickens are put up in fattening
coops is oats or corn meal, mixed with
scalded milk or water; the writer adds
a low grade of Hour, baked and wet a
little. As soon as his fowls are suffi
ciently fat they are killed at once, before
the llesh becomes hard and coarse:
they are not fed the last day, as food in
the crop and intestines ferments and
detracts from the llavor of the meat.
!o to the Fairs-Why?
"Fair" is not just the word for our
autumn shows "Exhibition" would be
better but the word has come by use
to mean exhibition, when it don't mean
a "horse-race" exclusively. "We say go
to the fairs. Just as reading others
thoughts enlarges and stimulates one's
own thinking, so contact with other
men, seeing what they do, what they
show, asking how they produced this
r that good thing, cannot fail to afford
some new hints and do one good. A
day at the fair lifts one out of the daily
drudgery; the sight of so many people
engaged in the same calling, helps one
out of that low view which the great
mass of farmers set upon their own
pursuit However much farmers may
talk of the dignity of their calling,
there is in their hearts too low an es
timate of it If a son goes into a store,
or a daughter marries a merchant or
professional man, they will speak of it
as something to be proud of. This is
wrong. Agriculture, from Adam down,
lias been and is the noblest pursuit.
Going to the fair will help in this and
many other ways. Go early in the day,
and have a quiet look at things, before
the horse-races disturb the general and
good order of the day. American Ag
riculturist. Selecting Seed Corn.
It has been frequently advised that
before corn is cut up, one should go
through the field and pick out those
stalks which have borne two ears, and
select these ears for iuture seed. This
is very well if the two ears are
perfect ones, but we have found it very
rarely happens when one stalk bears
two ears, that both ears are large, well
filled out and sufficiently good to be
kept for seed.' It is not wise, we think,
to choose in this case the one good ear,
and reject the poorer one, simply be
cause the good ear is a twin. For there
is a relationship between the two ears,
and it is the whole plant and not a part
of its product only, that gives a char
atcer to that product We would much
rather take a long, sound, early ripened,
heavy, plump, and well filled ear, al
though it be a single one, than one
equally good, that has a poor nubbin on
the same stalk. We do not know in the
latter case whether or not the produce
of the twin ear may revert to the
poorer sort to which it is so closely re
lated; while on the contrary, the single
good ear would almost certainly pro
duce good plants with equally good
produce. We are content with one
good ear to a stalk. If we could only
secure Uiat we could safely expect over
100 bushels of shelled corn per acre, for
with bills placed even 4x3 feet apart
and three stalks to a hill, we could then
have 10,890 ears, which, if as good as
the best we raise, would yield one bush
el of corn to every 100 ears, and make
103 bushels per acre. When we reach
this yield we ought to be satisfied.
Therefore we would rather endeavor
to procure one good ear to each stalk,
without fail, and not, in trying to get
two ears, run the risk of getting two
bad ones. American Agriculturist.
Fall Plowing.
Hitherto 1 nave been a strong advo
cate of plowing in autumn, but at the
present moment I have some crops
which are everything that could be de
sired, growing on land that was not
under any control until late this spring,
and which, therefore was not plowed
until it was nearly time to plant the
crops. The excellent condition of these
has shaken my faith somewhat in the
superiority of fall plowing, so far at
least, that it seems the main advantage
of it consists in the very convenient
set-forward it is in the spring to have
the plowing already done. Moreover,
when the crop is corn, the cut-worm is
not so destructive, and in addition to
these two reasons for having the plow
ing done so as to lie all winter, it has
also been considered that the frost had
then a better effect in pulverizing the
soil and making a good seed bed.
Yet as years roll by a man finds there
is more to learn than he ever dreamed
of, and farmers need each others' help
in investigating many points and sub
jects seemingly settled long ago. A
good agricultural paper affords better
opportunities for exchanging ideas and
bringing forward proofs to settle knotty
questions, than any other device; for
there are thousands of farmers in every
State who, though they might not be
able to rise and make a speech, yet
could have their say, without much dif
ficulty, with pen and ink. Let us dis
cuss together, therefore.brother farmers,
through the agricultural papers during
the ensuing fall and winter, all subjects
of interest or benefit to us, and good
humoredly "agree to differ" on some of
them. No one need be ashamed to ac
knowledge that he has been in the
wrong, for all agree that this is but
saying, in other words, that he is wiser
to-day than he was yesterday.
Farmers, like other classes of men,
have all sorts of characters among them,
but the most numerous set are those
who dislike anything out of the old
routine, and who form an opinion not
at all complimentary, of any new-comer
in their vicinity, who either grows crops
different from those they have been
accustomed to, or prepares his land in
a manner strange to them.
A WOKKING FAKMEH.
Wages for Housework in the Old Time.
An elderly lady was relating the other
day in our hearing her experience in
going out to do housework in her
younger days. She engaged with a lady
in Columbia to do general housework,
no price being agreed upon, and entered
upon her duties at once. About the
first thing to be done outside the regu
lar housework was to make soap hav
ing assistance in putting up the leach,
the rest of the work to make a barrel
of soap she performed herself. Killing
hogs came next in order, she trying the
lard, taking care of the skins and help
ing to make sausages. Then came the
butchering of beef, the tripe of which
of course must be saved, and this she
was required to dress alone. She spun
the warp for thirty yards of all wool
carpet
And in the meantime the lady was
sick and she officiated as nurse, and did
the washing, ironing and cooking for
the family. At the end of four weeks
she was to return home, and her bill
was called for. Now, gentle reader,
what do you think she charged for the
amount of work narrated as above V
The first week 75 cents, the second week
S3 cents, and the last weeks one dollar
each, making $3.5S for four weeks ser
vice. The lady thought the price deci
dedly too high, and she threw off 25
cents, leaving $3.33 for four of the
hardest weeks' labor ever put upon a
woman to perform, and yet she never
struck for higher wages, but served her
time faithfully, and is to-day, a hale,
hearty old lady, fast approaching her
lour-score years, aoie to uo her own
housework and lend a helping hand to
a neighbor in need, or wherever duty
calif. Mansfield, Conn, Letter to the
Willimantic, Conn., Journal.
Bitten by a Copperhead.
On the ISth inst a young colored man
named Isaac Kedick, employed on the
farm of Mr. Frank Morrow, aoout 3
miles north of this city, was bitten by a
copperhead snake aboutS o'clock in the
evening, while hunting for his knife,
which he had left in some weeds. He
did not see the snake as he put his hand
in the weeds, but felt a sharp pain in
his middle linger, and, looking at it,
found a slight puncture. A few min
utes later a dog was bitten by the snake
and the serpent was killed. It proved
to be a genuine copperhead, about two
feet long. A cord was at once tied
tightly around the young man's fore
arm to keep the poison from spreading
through the system. His hand and
wrist swelled very much, and he ex
perienced great suffering. The doctor
who was called in removed the cord,
and the poison at once ascended the
arm. The mother of the young man,
recognizing the danger her son was in,
replaced the cord above the elbow, and
the swelling went no further. Raw
chicken flesh was then placed on the
arm and over the wound, which seemed
to give considerable relief, but prob
ably the amount of whisky with which
Isaac was supplied did more than any
thing else to save his life. The poison
spread ho further than his arm, and he
is now almost well. The swelling has
all subsided except in the hand. The
bitten finger is a little stiff yet. The dog
that was bitten, a Scotch terrier, was
well cared for, and seemed to feel none
the worse after a day or two. Wash-

The Course of True Love.
In spite of all that has been done in
the last fitty years toward improving
the channel, the course of true love is
uncertain in places. An incident indi
cative of this, although somewhat out
of the usual line, occurred in Danbury
recently. There were two suitors for a
young moman's affections. Number
one was first acquainted with her, and
had kept pretty steady company with
her through the past month, when num
ber two appeared. The latter very
soon got the best hold, and this became
apparent io the former. The young
lady gave herself up to number one
until the day after the Fourth, when
she suddenly and rather strangely
veered about to the stranger, who is
now in town learning the jewelry busi
ness. Number one was forgotten as
easily apparently as if he had been an
old debt. It was the night of the fifth
that this change in feeling dawned up
on him ; he had purchased a quart of
new apples, and taken them to her
house. There was company present on
his arrival, and he requested to see her
privately in the hall. She complied
with a reluctance that struck him as
being singular.
"Here is something for you Julia," he
whispered, extending the package.
She colored slightly, as she said, "I
cannot take it thank you." J ,
"But you don't know what it is," he
urged, "It is a quart of new apples, just
come into market"
She made no move.
"Why, Julia take, them. They won't
hurt you. They are ripe."
"No, I mustn't," she persisted, keep
ing her eyes cast down.
"Why notV" he pleaded. "You don't
think I would bring 'em up here if I
thought they would hurt you, do you V"
She moved uneasily, but said noth
ing, "Julia," he began In a broken voice,
"don't you believe me when I tell you
they are ripeV"
She did not answer.
"Can it be possible," he continued in
a voice of pain, "that you believe that I
would try to make you sick ? That I'd
bring ycu anything up here that would
upset you?"
"The company are waiting, and I
must go back to them," she said, speak
ing in a constrained tone, and reaching
out to the handle of the parlor door.
"You won't take them?" He was
very white, and his voice trembled
with suppressed passion.
"No."
"Then I'll go home and eat every gol
darned one of them before I touch my
bed, if they kill me deader than Goliar,"
and with this ferocious threat he
bounced out of the house.
Whether he did as he promised is not
known, but as he was around on the
street next day, it is more than likely
that wiser thoughts prevailed.
That afternoon he started for her
house, to see if the dreadful thing was
true that the jeweler, whom he desig
nated by the prefix of "pole legs," had
really supplanted him. As he neared
the house he saw, with anger, that the
jeweler was there, piaying croquet with
Julia. The sight maddened him. For
a moment he looked at them, with
clenched hands, then hurried away,
with a gleam in his eye that denoted a
storm. In a quarter of an hour he was
again approaching the place, lie had
both hands in the pockets of his sack,
as if he was holding on to something
valuable. The dapper young jeweler
was still in the game with the fair
young Julia, and their laughing re
marks grated distastefully upon his
ear. Julia looked up and saw him, and
a frown covered her face. He saw it
and understood its import at once. His
own face grew black with wrath. He
turned to her.
"Julia, have you given me up for this
cuss?" he savagely inquired.
"What do you mean by such language
as that?" she angrily demanded.
While the party thus indelicately in
dicated stared at the new-comer as if
he doubted his own existence.
"Just what I say," retorted the dis
carded one.
"Well, the quicker you leave this yard
the better you'll please me," was the
spiteful rejoinder from the fair one.
"Then it's true, it's true," he howled
in a voice of anguish. "She has left me
for old 'pole legs.' Oh!" this with a
sudden reverse of tone, as the name
brought up a realization of the hated
presence "You are the one that done
it, are youV" turning in rage upon his
rival. "You are the scoundrel that left
me to buy her things for a whole month
to get her sweetened up for you, and
then you come in an' take her to your
self ! Where were you on the Fourth ?"
he screamed with bitter sarcasm.
"Why didn't you show yourself when
there was money to spend, an' things to
show her that cost cash down. Where
was you when the ice-cream an' cake
was around. Oh, you gimlet-eye," he
added, suddenly removing one hand
from the recesses of a pocket and hurl
ing a raw egg full m the face of his
rival, which, breaking in the contact,
completely changed the entire express
ion of the jeweler. "Where were you, I
say," he yelled, dancing around, and
drawing forth another egg. At the ad
vent of this awful article, Miss Julia
scampered into the house, and the af
frighted and almost blinded rival
struck out wildly for escape, but the
foe was after him, and but ten feet had
been cleared when the second egg
caught him between the shoulders, and
sprinkled its glowing color over his
back. The unfortunate man ran with
all his might seeking escape, but baffled
in the search. He flew over the vege
tables, and darted around the trees, but
the avenger kept close to him, plaster
ing him with omelettes, and plying him
with questions like this :
"Where were you on the Fourth?"
Egg.
"Where were you when there was
money to be spent"
Egg.
"Kept away, did yon, till the Fourth
was over, the costliest day in the year?"
Egg.
"Knew cream was up that day, did
you."
Egg.
And the eggs flew with all the venge
ance an unrequited affection could im
part to them. And the unhappy Julia,
standing in a trance of horror at the
window, saw her favored one pelted in
the back, in the side, on the head, and
against the legs; saw him tear through
the shrubbery like a winged omelette;
saw the golden liquid stream from his
hair, his chin, his coat-tails, and his
finger tips; saw him shed scrambled
eggs, chromos, and circus posters at
every jump; saw him finally bound
over the back fence, and sweep across
the back lots like a simoon of bilious
ness, and then she gave a scream and
fainted dead away. Banbury News.
How to Breathe Properly.
Most people breathe properly, often
more by accident or instinct than by
design, but on the other hand hundreds
of thousands do not breathe properly,
while many thousands at . his present
moment arc suffering from more or
less severe affections of the lungs or
throat owing to a faulty mode of respi
ration in other words, because they
breathe through the mouth instead of
through the nostrils. The mouth has
its own functions to perform in con
nection with eating, drinking and
speaking ; and the nostrils have theirs,
namely, smelling and breathing.
In summer time the error of respiring
through the mouth is tot so evident as
i i the winter season, when it is un
doubtedly fraught with danger to the
person who commits the mistake If
any cne breathes through the na' un.1
channel, the nostrils, the air, passing
over the mucous membrane lining the
various chambers of the nose, becomes
warmed to the temperature of the
body before reaching the lungs ; but if
he takes tne air between the lips and in
the mouth, the cold air comes in con
tact with the delicate lining membrane
of the throat and lungs, and gives rise
to a chill, frequently ending m inflam
mation. Many persons without knowing the
reason why they are benefited, wear
respirators over their mouths in winter,
if they happen to go out of doors. By
so doing they diminish the amount of
air which enters between the lips, and
virtually compel themselves to breathe
through the nostrils. But they can at
tain just the same result by keeping
the lips closed, a habit which is easily
acquired, and conduces to the proper
and natural way of breathing.
We believe t hat if people would only
adopt this simple habit in other words
if they would take for their rule in
breathing, "Shut your mouth!" there
would be an intense diminution in the
two classes, namely, diseases of the
throit and lungs, which ccunt many
thousands of victims ia this country in
the course of a single year.
Keep Straight Ahead.
Fay no attention to slanderers and
gossip mongers. Keep straight on in
your course, and let their backbiting
die the death of neglect. What is thu
use of lying awake at night brooding
over the remark of some false friend,
that rung through your brain like light
ning I hat is the use of getting into
a worry and fret over gossip that has
been sut afloat to your disadvantage by
some meddlesome busybody who has
more time than character ? The things
cannot possibly injure you unless, in
deed, you take notice of them, and in
combatting them give them standing
and character. If what is said about
you is true, set yourself right; if it is
false, let it go for what it will fetch. J f
a bee were to sting you, would you go
to the h ve to destroy it? Would not a
thousand ccme upon you? It is wis
dom to say little respecting the injuries
you have received. We are generally
losers in the end, if we stop to refute all
the backbiting and gossiping we may
hear by the way. They are annoying,
it is true, but not dangerous, so long as
we do not stop to expostulate and scold.
Our characters are formed and sus
tained by ourselves, by our own actions
and purposes, and not by others. Let
us always bear in mind that "calumni
ators may usually be trusted to time
and the slow but steady justice of pub
lic opinion."
Another Dream Storr.
Two English ladies were recently in
attendance upon their brother, who was
ill of common sore throat severe and
protracted, but not considered danger
ous. At the same time one of them had
borrowed a watch from a female friend
in consequence of her own being under
repairs. The watch was one to which
particular value was attached, on ac
count of family associations, and some
anxiety was expressed that it might
not meet with any injury. The sisters
were sleeping together, in a room com
municating with that of their brother,
when the elder of them awoke in a
state of great agitation, and, having
aroused the other, told her that she had
had a frightful dream. 4'I dreamed,'
she said, "that Mary's watch stopped
and when I told you of the circum
stance, you replied, 'Much worse than
that has happened for James' breath
has stopped also!' " naming their broth
er who was ill. To quiet her agitation
the younger sister immediately got up
and found the brother sleeping quietly,
and the watch, which had been care
fully put in a drawer, going correctly.
The following night the same dream
occurred, followed by similar agitation,
which was again composed in the same
manner, the brother being again found
in a quiet sleep, and the watch going
well. On the following morning, soon
after the family breakfasted, one of the
sisters was sitting by her brother, while
the other was writing a note in the ad
joining room. When her note was ready
for sealing, she was proceeding to take
out for the purpose the watch, which
had been put in her writing desk, when
she was astonished to And It had stop
ped, and at the same instant sue neara
a scream from her sister in the next
room. Their brother had been seiz-d
with a sudden fit of suffocation, and
had just breathed his last

Tower of London.
At the present moment the oflice of
Works is engaged in clearing out and
restoring the chapel with the precincts
of the Tuwer of London known as St
Peter's ad vincular. It was here that
the state prisoners who died in the
Tower, or were beheaded were gener
ally interred, but, according to the cus
tom, in plain deal Collins, and always
without plates by which their bodies
might be subsequently identified. Luck
ily at this time the Secretary to the
office of Works is a gentleman who, by
his writings as well as by such por
tions of his collections as have passed
into the possession of the South Ken
sington Museum, shows himself to be a
student and an artist, and it is owing
to his reverent care that in clearing out
the vaults of the Tower chapel the
dead have given up some of their
secrets. The Tower records have been
carefully searched, and the infoi mat ion
has been applied to each cofliu as it wiis
brought to light. First almost among
them was one lying far down the nave
containing bones, which, according to
the opinion of the surgeon, were those
of a woman of at leist sixty or seventy
years of age. The records showed that
in some such spot was interred the body
of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury,
whom Henry VIII. caused to be be
headed in 15U. Near the alter, "in a
common elm tree chest made to put ar
rows in," were the remains of another
woman, young and delicately made, and
whose "lyttel necke," it would give a
headsman so littlj trouble to sever.
These are almost certainly those of
Anne Boleyn. Noi far off the diggers
came upon the renains of what must
have been a man of more than ordinary
stature; and on comparing contempor
ary chronicles wth the i fl'uial records,
these were identlied as the remains of
Dudley, Duke of Northumberland. Of
his daughter, the unhappy L uly Jane
Grey, no trace his as yet hewn discover
ed, and it is feaiel that in her case, as
probably in tint of many others, the
later comers hae disturbed the resting
places of the orfrnal occupaits, and as
in no case was there even the pretense
of honor or reiject shown to the re
mains of state criminals, it is not im
probable that Lady Jane Grey and her
coffin may have long since been ground
to powder. Amongst other persons
buried in the chipel may be mentioned
Sir John Eliot, tie Duke of Monmouth,
Rjbert Devererx, Earl or Essex, and
the Lords Baln.erino, Kilmarnock and
Lovat, implicated in the Scottish rebel
lion of 174"i.
