Indian Corn.

Coop ADVICE TO WEsrEKH FAINEIs--Some
msnths since we called the attention of our
Western friends to the fact that large portion
Of the csrn coming forward from that see
tisn was damaged for Q want of care in
preparing it for market. As the season is
approaching when . new crop is to be housed,
We again refer to the subject, in the hope Of an
improvement for the coming year. Western
mixed corn has been selling here for the last
few days at IS a60 forsound parcels, and asa
81 forheGted, very little Of the latter bringing
over so cents. The average between heated
and sound corn, taking the extremes into &C.
eosnt, is about Sc per bushsl. Now let it be
remembered that there is no differences in the
corn Dhen first hGrrested, and the importance of
the subject win be manifest. The corn when
picked, should be placed in cribs, raised foot
or moro from the ground, with . marrow base,
swelling on each side towards the caves, and
rsofsd % as to be perfectly water tight. Much
corn 10 damaged On the cob by exposure 70
storms, or for want Of air when drying. The
corr Ihosld not be shellSd until 1t is to be sent
10 market. It should then be thoroughly fan
ned or cleaned fren the chat, as the presencs
ofthis substance 10 one ofthe principal causes
Of its heating in coming forward. Even when
corn passes as strictly merchantabls on arrival,
twill heat on voyage to Europe, unless per-
fsStly clean when sent abroad. More than two
thirds Of the western corn which came forward
this season, has proved unsOund, simply for
want Of prscautiOn on the part Of the original
owners.
There is another point eonAeetsd with this
subject, where an amendment would give in
creased value " the product but perhaps it
would be impossible to effect H. We AIluds to
the mixture which gives its name to most Of
the western corr in market. yellow or white
whom sold separately, will average, one
month with another, about 2 ssats per bushsl
each more than mixed, which is but the same
cora throvn together. The white Is wanted for .
different market, and the yellow is much mere

Does it Ever Rain in Egypt!

Sir Archibald Alison, in his history of Eu-
rope, writes As follows:
at never rains in Egypt; centuries may
elapse without more than q shower of drilling
mist mOistening the surface Of the soil. It is
said that it has not rainsd in Egypt fer 100
years."
A correspondent Of the London Time writes
from Alexandra, Oct. 81, 1859, as follows
"Englishmen express their astonishnent at the
heavy rains We have lately experienced. having
come with the erroneous impression that it new
sr rainsd in Egypt" Upon this, it is asked
whether the rain which is referred to by the
above correspondent is the first which has ap-
Psared in Egypt for 100 years.

Scarlet Fever.

We find the following paragraph in some OF
- exchanges, in rsferease to Scarlet Fever:
Parents should be very careful about their
children when this devouring plague seiEss
them, and every coed mother should be prepar-
cd for it with the following good remedies:
LIST, When child is taken with the fever
give il dose Of castor oil ifthe body shows
flush color. have pot of saffron tea made and
give it to the child to drink. This will drive
the eruption out.
2nd. Have warm baths for their feet, keep
IL warm, and the room under proper tenpora-
ture.
Sd. When the eruption is out. grease the
whole body with bacon fat, and keep the body
open. Then call for doctor ifthe throat shOuld
get sore.
To this the staid old National Intslligencer
adds; "Bstter begin with the doctor hrst."-
Not bad advice-but then mothers can do .
good dealtbemseiVss, ifthey have . good stock
Of common sense. So keep the body well eied,
however, is . treatment which ought not to be
neglected in any case.

We can recommend it to all persons who have
