Is said 10 have the best arranged, best conduct

America" aud by the adoption Of whose system A.,
II ls asserted, and It's application to army horses,
mvre THAI 70 millions VI dollars would be saved
to the Government per anpum. The president
OF this company Is represented to be practical
economist, and he and his assistants have expert
mented extensively TO learn how to teed horses,
50 us to keep up their efficiency for the very hard
service OF twenty miles day, and therefore what
they have learned and practlced may be taken
as a valuable lesson to all horse owners. We
quote f-Om the statement referred to above
" he regular daily rations OF the horses are

MAKING SoAP.-In the Prairie Farmer W,
fnd the following receipt for making soft sop
which is used, or ought 10 be, in every family;
10 answer to one of your correspondents who
inquiries about making soap with potash, ! send
the following receipt, which | consider the
cheapest and best IN my experience
Melt thirty-nlne pounds Of grease, and put it
10 barrel take twenty-five pounds of potash
and pour hot water on 1t ; then pour it Of into
the grease, stnrng it well--contiuue this until
all the potash ID melted or dissolved add one
palllul OF cold water, stirring it, good Zeal
every day, rntil the barrel Is full, then it j,
done. This is the best way still il one wishe,
to hasten matters little, they may put the ,amt
proportions together, aud boil two or tire,
hours adding water until It is OF proper strength
then DIP II Of into the barrel 10 cool, and stil
once day for while, as old soap-makers Dc
all soft soap Potash soap is better # it stand
year before it is used, 80 it is best to make tw,
or three barrels at time. Be very careful t,
get the light ash colored potash the redd.l
will spoll the soap.
For excellent hard soap, get the " conceu
trated lyc, or potash, that comes in poun,
boxes, the directions accompanying each box
but the = concentrated lye" does not make GOO
SOFT soap.

Tm INDIAN CoRs.-We doubt whether oui
farmers raise any Of The large, bulky crops tina
nfVrd them better average profit than lndiar
corn, or upon which they look with more satis
faction aud pride. 1t is q beautiful crop tC
look at, from first to last from the first spring
ing blade through every stage Of its growth
What pleasanter sight does any crop present
than the corn when two feet high, with its pen
dulous leaves, gracefully hanging over on every
side and trembling in the breeza How rich arc
the broad, dark green leaves at this period OIL
its growth. Ia few day., upon some aspiring
stems" spindles" show themselves. and in a
short time they dot the whole field Then the
ears set the glossy" six pushes its way from
each kernel 10 the open day, and the field is in
lts prime. But the gradual changes which oc-
cur in manurng the seed, and in The decay OF
The plant itself when its work ,s done, are all
interesting and instructive until frots strike the
husks opening them and revealing the golden
car. IL is especially gratifying to raise lndi IN
corr, because it serves so many purposes 10
an unnpe condition, it is scarcely excelled by
anything else, as palatable, nutritious and
wholesome food. In various FORMS it subseryes
the wants Of man and beast better than any
other grain. 1t is easily preserved, only requir-
log tn be kept dry, IN order to keep it in good
condition for months or for years
10 addition to these considerations, the corn
crop affords US a large amount of tho sweetest
and most nutritious fodder We have, when it is
cut early and properly cured. A field that will
produce fifty bushels Of corn per acre. will give
as much excellent fodder as will the average
acres of the upland moving lots in New Eng
land An observing farmer said to US, recently,
that he always had noticed that wnen his corn
fodder was gone, his cows decreased in their
quality OF milk, though well fed on English hay
and rowen. We have known the horses OF a
livery stable kept through an entire winter on
the" toppings oil corn. and came out well 10
the spring, though no more grain was given
them than when fed on hay.-.W E. Farmer.

Agriculture must have flour
ished at on early period in England, When ,h'
Emperor Julian was re building the ruined clie'
OF Gau, six hundred large barqies, framed in the
forest OF Ardennes, made several voyages TO the
coast Of Britain and returning from thence laden
with corn, sailed up the Rhine, and distributed
their cargoes to the several towns and fortresses,
along the banks Of the river. Computing those
s'I hundred ships at only seveny tons each they
we're capable Of exporting 100, 1000 quarters, and
the country which could bear so large an eipor,
Ia ion mus already have attained su improved
state Of agriculture. This is reported to have
taken place about the year A. d. $50.
