S. Fuller, Greenville, Ill.,. gives rule for
measuring corn in the crib, as follows: Mul-
tiply length, height and breadth of the crib
in feet together, then by four and half. and
divide by ten; the result is bushels of shelled
corn. This may do for some localities, but
as ears and sheled corn bear as many relations
to each other in quantity as there are locai-
ties and sorts, the safest way is to reduce the
contents of the CRIB to cubic inches and take
1850 Of them for bushel of ears-imerican

HoEESG PoTAToEs.-The Ohio Fa,ao says !:
One OF the secrets of success in potato grow
ing is IN giving them "a hoeing at the proper
stage of growth one killing Is sufficient, and
tins should be given when the vines are about
SIX inches high. Previous to this use the cul-
tlvator freely-keep the earth loose on the sur
face md free from weeds When at the stage
Of growth mentioned, give a good killing,
making the mound broad and fat on top and
little cupping; after this do no more than to
cut out weeds. The hoeing is best done after
araln. Some advocate fat culture and Others
two killings, but We have never succeeded with
either of those plans, nor do the most success
fll potato-growers advocate them. Two hill
ings will make two settings, and result in a
large number of small potatoes at harvest time
Flat culture may do on deep loany soil where
the roots can ramiiy and form tubers readily,
but aclay soil killing IN the o!d-iashoned way
is the one most certain 10 make good returns.

To KEEP MILK AND CREAI-ln very warm
weather, when it is difficult TO preserve milk
from becoming senr and spelling the cream,
il may be kept perfectly sweet by scalding the
new milk very gently without boiling. and
putting il away in the earthen pan or dish in
which 1t has been sca!ded. This method is
adopted IN the large diaries in Englani, and
particularly in Devonshire. Cream already
SKINNED may be kept quite sweet for twenty
four hours, if scalded but If as mucn powder
ed loaf sugar be added as will sweeten it, and
then scaded, it Will keep in cool place TOR
two days.

Coal ASHES FOR GARDEN WALKs-The
Germantown Telegraph says: 1--WE wish again
to impress upon the readers of the telegraph
that nothing makes better garden walks than
coal ashes. They are Of ino-e value for this
purpose than any other that they can be ap.
piled to that we know Of. Where the walk re.
Quires it, dig 1t out two or three inches-put
the coarsest OF the ashes at the bottom and
the other at the top, to the depth altogether
OF three or four or even six inches, and then
roll well. These walks are always dry and
pleasant to the feet, and are rarely troubled
with weeds, and when they are they can very
easily be removed"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

SUMNER suits are nearly all made OF white
or Dun ilnen, plque, cambria, or muslin, and
the art OF preserving the new appearance at
ter washing Is a matter of the greatest impor-
lance. common washerw0men spoil every
lining Win soda, and nothing IS more frequent
than to see the delicate tlnts OF lawns and
percales turned into dark blOtches and muddy
streaks, by the ignorance and vandalism OF a
Iaundress. 1t is worth while for ladies to pay
attention to this, and insist upon having their
summer dresses washed according to the di-
rections which they should be prepared to
give their laundress themselves. In the first
place, the water should 10 tepld, the soap
should not DE allowed to touch the fabric !;
1t should be washed and rinsed quickly, turned
upon the wrong side, and hung in the shade
to dry, and when starched Gin thin boiled but
not boiling starch) should be folded in sheets
or towels, and lroned upon the wrong side.
But linen should be washed IN water in which
hay or quart bag of bran has been boiled
This last will be found to answer for starch as
veil, and excellent for print dresses of all
kinds, but handful Of salt is very useful also
to set the colors Of light cambrics and dotted
lawns; and little OK gall will not only set
but brighten yellow and purple tnts, and has
agood effect upon green.-Scientifc .American.
YEAST FOR Hot WEATHER.-The subjoln-
ing recipe for yeast, adapted to hot weather
ana hot climates is given in INorgan's Trade
Journal:
boil two ounces of the best hops in four
quarts of water for half an hour strain it and
let the liquor cool down to newmilk warmth.
Then put in small handful of salt and a half
apound Of sugar (brown); beat up one pound
Of the best -four with some OF the liquor, and
mix all well together. The third day add
three pounds of potatoes, boiled and mashed,
and let it stand till the next day. Then
strain, and it is ready for use.
"Stir frequently while making, and keep
near a fire. Before using, stir well. 1t will
keep two or three months in a cool place.
a kept this two months in cellar, where
the thermometer ranged between go and Oh
degrees.
This yeast Is very strong; half the usual
quantity necessary Tor baking is sufficient"

ne produced by takinga stick of elder, boring
out the pith, filing the cavity with good

that bloom at the same time. The seed will

HAVING furnished in last weeks Co.
LUMBIAN the opinions Of the Republi-
can press as regards the nomination of
Hartranft, we now give the following
from Forney's Press as to Allen the
nominee for Auditor General:
So general is the dissatisfaction in re-
gard to the nomination of Col. Harrison
Allen, of Warren, by our late State Con-
vention, as the Republican candidate
for Auditor General, that his retirement
from the Republican ticket is pro.
nounced to be essential to success in Oc-
tober. Our own objections to General
Hartranft having been so sternly criti-
cised by some of our brethren, il may
perhaps propitiate these gentlemen to
state that the appeal for the retirement
of Col. Allen is most earnestly made by
some of those who most earnestly SUP.
port General Hartranft. The objections
TO Col. Allen are best known to those
who make them.
We simply refer to the demand for his
retirement from the State ticket as an
admonition and fact. Let us not fear
that the discussion of even regularly
nominated candidates can -iDjure the
Republican party. Nobodytienies that
the late Republican Convention COM
mitted grave mistakes, and our failure
to point them out will make them IA
tai. There is full time to correct and
cure them better to meet them and to
master them in advance than blindly
to enter upon the Presidential struggle
and go down under their sheer dead
weight.

The lower House Of the present Leg
islaturo is composed of G2 Republicans
aud IS Democrats. This result was ~
matter of great surprise to both parties,
as the present apport;onment bill was
a comprO MISC between Republican
House and Democratic Senate. The
intention was to give the Republicans
a majority in the House of Sir. BY pru-
dent and popular nominations this fall
the Democrats can secure much larger
representation in fact, in the present
condition of political affairs in this
State then is no just reason why they
should not have amajOrityin the House.
We should gain members in the follow
ing counties which are unquestionably
Democratic, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Mon
tour Bucks, Cambria, Elk aud Gamer
on, and two additional from Philadel-
phia. Green will undoubtedly be re-
elected from Warren, in place of fShort,
who was fraudulently awarded the
seat. Franklin is also naturally Dem
ocratic county, and should send Dem
ocratic representative. With these gains
the House would stand 81 Republicans
and 4S Democrats. We believe also
that the Democrats can carry one mem
Der in Union aud Snyder in place o.
Herrold, who prosiituted his Official
position by selling an appointment fol
800 of which fact he was openly charg
ed in the House by Republican col
league and by his silence tacitly ad
mitted its truth. In consequence tht
House was compelled to pay anothe
man for services which he never rem
dered. The notorious corruption OF
other. Republican members will un
doubtedly lead to the defeat Of some o
them and thereby give US control Of th,
next Legislature.
We are taking it for granted that tht
Democrats will nominate only homes

A REPORT having been circulated that
Senator Schurz was in default to the
Treasury to the amount Of $4,000, on
account of his mission to Spain, he
called upon the Fifth Auditor and
ascertained that his account, like many
others, was kept open because the
last six months Of his salary had not
been receipted for, and small item OF
contingent expenses had not been certi-
fcd by the legation in the usual form,
and thatinstead Ex-senator Schurz being
in default to the government balance
is still due him from the government.
