Analysis Of Corn Cobs.

Considerable discussion has recently
arisen in agricultural journals and at
farmers meetings. upon the nutritive val
Tie of corn cObs when ground and fed to
animals. 1t is very common practice
among farmers to grind the whole ear of
corn, and feed the product to milch cows,
working oxen and often to horses. This
plan we have adopted to a considerable
extent at our own farm, but we have had
some misgivings as to the utility or adj
visibility of the practice. With the view

Trade Unions.

A decision arrived at recently in the
Sheriff Court, Forfar, Scotland. will, if
acted on elsewhere, throw liability on
trade-unions which they have hitherto
escaped. Certain shoemakers in For
far having been on strike, when the
strike was concluded compelled the
employers of another shoemaker named
Leslie to dismiss him from a "union
shop" on the ground that he was not, like
themselves, member of the Forfar
Union of Shoemakers. Leslie, who had
remained at work while the others were
on strike, was accordingly dismissed,
and brought an action against the
trade-unionists claiming damage for
having deprived him of his living. In
this action he was successful, the Sher-
iff declaring the case to be one of moral
intimidation of masters, and granting
Leslie 2Ss, an allowance of IS cd for four
weeks, and also his law expenses.

Is Poultry Keeping Profitable !

Upon this subject the Western Rural
makes the following just and sensible
remarks, giving some cogent reasons
why poultry should be kept on the farm,
and as to the profits arising therefrom:
"For several years poultry have been
profitable, eggs and chickens command
ing high price. By little variation
in their breeding and management,
poultry may be made very valuable to
the farmer in many ways, one of the
most important being the excellent
manure which they make. A comfort
able frost-proof poultry house should
be constructed, in such position that
the hens will have access to the orchard,
for they are exceedingly useful for de-
streying the curculio, the apple-worm,
and other hurtful insects. Plum trees
in poultry yard generally yield an
abundant crop of fruit, perfectly free
from attacks of the curculio. The best
breed of fowls are always the most
profitable; but even these should not
be kept more than two or three years.
Old hens should be got rid of and Wig
orous pullets put into their places.
The floor of the poultry house should
be covered with wood ashes, dry muck,
or old saw-dust, for the purpose of alb
sorbing the offensive smell. The house
should be cleaned out frequently, and
the manure kept in shed, or in large
casks or boxes, until required for use
in the spring; its effect on the field or
garden Is remarkable"

which are placed in current of hot

When required for use, the dried egg

PRESERVED CITRoN.-Cut ripe citrons
in two, peel them and scrape out the
core, carefully removing every seed.
For five pounds of citron, thus prepared,
add one ounce of ginger root, bruised,
but not ground. Put them in water to
cover the citron, and boil until fork
will pierce them easily. To the five
pounds allow three pounds of good
sugar, and two fresh lemons. With a
sharp knife shave off the yellow peel
of the lemons into the sugar, being care
full not to cut the white of the rind
Then squeeze the juice of the lemons
into the sugar.

Shaded Pastures,

that without shade stock will feed sew

BILE as they choose. 1t will be found
that they will quit their shelter scarcely
at all between 7 in the morning and 5
in the evening, and will grow poor on
good pasture at this season of the year.
On the other hand, if allowed no shade
or shelter at all, they will thrive nearly
as well in July and August as in May or
October. The same will be found to
apply to horned cattle and sheep,
though perhaps the difference will not
be so great. 1t may be considered cruel
to deprive animals of so cheap an article
as shade, but think they have "good
time'' in pasture compared to our work
teams or the farmer himself, who works
ten or twelve hours in the scorching
sun and knows but little, practically,
about the C Dmforts of shade.

commend them to the attention of the
reader They will apply to all localities
in which newspapers circulate
The printers dollars-where are they?
A dollar here and dollar there, scatter

over the country, miles and miles apart
how shall they be gathered together
The paper maker, the !ourneyman COM
positor, the building owner, the grocer,
the tailor, and all assistants to him in
carrying on his business, have their de-
mands, hardly ever SO small as single
dollar. But the mites from here and
there must be diligently gathered and
patiently L oarded, or the wherewith to
discharge the liabilities will never be-
come sufficiently bulky. We imagine
the printer will have to get up an adj
dress to his widely scattered dollars

Telling q Sleeps Age.

The only correct and reliable way of
determining the age of young sheep is
by their teeth. After the last teeth
have appeared, so that the ''mouth is
full, " it will be impossible to determine
the age with reliable certainty. Like
neat cattle, sheep have no incisor teeth
in the upper jaw. The age must be de-
termined by the incisor or front teeth of
the lower jaw. At two months old all
the incisors of the lower jaw have in
most lambs appeared. These incisors
are retained until the animal is II or 16
months old. Then they begin to be
displaced, just as the children shed their
teeth, but not all at once. The two
central incisors are displaced and re-
newed first by permanent ones, which
will have attained their growth when
the animal is two years old. If we look
at the teeth of sheep two years old, it
will be seen that the two central incisors
have usually attained their full size.
The next year, one incisor on each side
of the central pair will displace the first
teeth, and will be pushed out even with
the central ones; when the animal is
between two and three years old the
next pair of incisors will be renewed.
After three years have elapsed another
set of incisors will have appeared. Be-
tween the age of four and five years, it
will be found impracticable to deter
mine if the age is five, six or seven,
unless some of the incisors have begun
to disappear. After the seventh or
eighth year some of the side incisors
begin to disappear entirely. If the
teeth appear old and decayed, and some
are entirely gone, we can safely con-
clude that the animal is eight years
old. Judging of the age beyond this
period will be found no more reliable
taan shrewd guessing.--Hearth ana

Do as I Do.

This game, if properly managed
must be very amusing one. A COM
pany of children sit in line. One, the
leader, sitting in front, begins the game
by moving the right hand up and down,
saying, "Massa sent me to you, sir ?"
The first in the line answers, "What
for to do, sir?' The leader replies,
" Do as l do" Questions and replies
are repeated until all have their right
hands in motion.
Second, the leader moving both hands,
asks the same questions, getting the
same replies, until all have both hands
in motion.
Third, the leader lifts his right foot
up and down until all have their right
feet moving, meanwhile asking ques-
tions and getting the same replies.
Fourth, leader moves his head, then
opens and shuts the eyes, and lastly the
mouth. By this time the scene is SO
ludicrous that all are unable to keep
from laughing any longer, and the game
is suddenly brought to close.

A Good St0ry.

Deacon D. was very much interested
in a revival thai was taking place in the
neighborhood, and, as a consequence,
was continually urging his neighbors to
"come over on the Lords SIDE" as he
expressed it. He had frequently i'm.
portuned an old neighbor of his-who
was not particularly noted for his pro-
fession of religion, but was nevertheless
highly respected by all who knew him
to attend one of their evening meet
ings. Now the piety and honesty of the
deacon was a matter of doubt among
his fellow townsmen, and particularly
so with the old man above mentioned,
who, for convenience, we may call Uncle
Josh.
After repeated calls, Uncle Josh con.
sented to accompany the deacon to one
of the meetings, and accordingly accom-
panied him to the school house" one
evening, much to the surprise of all
present. In the course of the evening
the deacon arose with a penitential
countenance to tell his experience. He
was the prince of sinners, he said. If
he got his deserts he would be banished
forever from divine favor. After making
himself out to be all that is vile in man
according to his Interpretation of "he
that humbleth himself shall be exalt.
ed" he sat down with the sublime sense
of having done his duty, and asked
Uncle Josh if he wouldn't tell his ex-
perience. With some little reluctance
he meekly arose amid the breathless
unknown occurrence for Uncle Josh to
speak in meeting. He said he had
listened with great interest to the re-
marks of the deacon, and he could as.
sure the brethren that, from his long
acquaintance with him, he could fully
indorse all the deacon had said con-
corning his meanness and vileness, for
he certainly was the meanest man he
ever knew. The wrath of the deacon
was terrific. He shook his fist under
Uncle Josh's nose, and exclaimed:
"You are COMPOUNDED liar, and I'll
whip you as soon as you get out of

Wife's Advertisement VS.. Husbands.
The Clinton Mass.) Courant, of last

Cogswell, as follows:
Whereas, my wife, Sarah z. Cogs-
well, has left my bed and board. this is
to give notice to all concerned tEat 1

tract after this date"
His wife must have been appraised of
the intended action of her lord, and
forthwith concocted the following
rhymes, which she published over her
signature in the same issue of the paper
wherein her husbands notice appeared,
directly beneath it:
" l. Sarah Z. Cogsweu, Just wish to say

The Arctic Regions.

It seems that the Arctic observations
of DR.. Kane and others are about to be
disproved by more recent explorations.
In the course of an interview with the
captain of one of the Inflated Arctic
whalers, on the northwest passage, a
San Francisco newspaper reporter has
been convinced that there is no such
thing as an open polar sea. The per
son interviewed also expressed the
opinion that the practicability of
passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic
is impossible, that crossing the country
with dogs and reindeer was ali theory,
and that there was no such thing as an
open sea. The captain, who had been
up to latitude Is degrees, believed there
was continent of ice, possibly with a
current of water beneath, and that solid
ice exists beyond that latitude that
never did come out and never will
thus conflicting somewhat with Parry's
opinion of the northwest passage.
MISS RlsLEY, the adopted daughter of
the late Secretary Seward, was the in

of Miss Risley was, during the Adrniris-
trations of Lincoln and johnson, Solicit

ter's death Mr.. Seward adopted her
friend as tribute to the memory of his
child.
