Corn and Pork.

From carefully conducted experiments
by different parties, it is ascertained that
one bushel Of corn win make little over
ten and half pounds Of pork--gross.
Taking this result as basis, the following
deductions are made which farmers would
do we'll to lay by for convenient reference
that.
When corn sells for twelve and half
cents per bushel, pork costs one halfcents
per pound.
When corn costs twenty-five cents per
bushels, pork costs three per pound.
When corn sells for thirty-thrse cents
per bushel, pork costs four cents per
pound.
The following statement shows what
the farmer realizes on corn when sold in
the form Of pork
When pork sells for three cents per
pound, Il brings twenty-five cents per
bushcl in corn
When pork sells for four cents per
pound, il brings thirty-three cents per
5ushel IN corn
when porks sells fsr i've cents per
,onnd, i brings iorty-ive cents per busheI

Sugar Beets.

No root Is more certain Of a crop, and
none yields more food than these iney
are excellent keepers nutritious and great
promoters OF the How OF milk IN cows and
ewes. The seed should be sown as early
as practicable, in drills two to two and a
half feet apart. About four pounds Of
seed viii be sufficient for an acre, and it
will terminate quicker if put in, boiling
water before sowing, and afterwards rolled
in plaster to dry. They are best sown by
means Of one of the numerous seed drills
now to be found at every implement store.

There are times when it seems that
bees are determined to forsake their hives
after having hived, and go to the woods.
When they are so inclined it is best to
give them frame of brood from some
hive; then they are not apt to leave, and
viii not once in a thousand times-and
it is much better plan than TO clip their
wings, as they then have to be watched
in swarming time, or you win loose your
queen. M m
There are several causes why bees leave
their hive. The greatest Of them all is,
that when they are hiyed, and a large swarm,
and the hive an ordinary one, there is so
much heat that they cannot stay in and
work their wax, and they are obliged to
leave. Many, as soon as their bees are in
the hive, set it down where no air can
strike it. The hive should be wen venti-
lated, and let the bees Pass in and out
freely, and the trouble Is over.
There are few instances where bees look
up home before swarming, but they are
rare. When swarm has left the parent
hive and is clustered on tree or else
where, they have no doubt sent out ex-
plcrers to lind home in some hollow tree.
The swarm is very apt to stay on the same
tree where they settled, if it is a good
cool shady place; if not, they win soon
leave for another tree--perhaps at a dis
lance. They Hy until they become weary,
when they alight; if they don't succeed in
finding ! home, they again take flight for
the west, or in westerly direction, as is
their custom. They have been known to
repeat their flight several times before
making final location. This is the way
they have extended so rapidly to the far
west.
Bees should not be allowed to hang on
the tree any length of time Hive them
at once. and place where you wish them
to stand for the season. If you wish them
to stay, see that they have plenty of air,
or they viii be apt, in an unexpected time
to YOU, to take up their line of march to-
ward the west. Is it at all surprising to
see the great numbers that have spread
over the far west, when we take into con-
sideation the vast numbers that have been
multiplying for years. They left the
moth worm behind. Their principal enc
mics were the red man and wild beasts Of
the forests They went in advance Of civ
ilizafion.

The bonnet of the period is thing
fearfully and wonderfully made; no one
can look at it without recalling Petruchio' s
scornful description:
Why, this was moulded on porringer,
A velvet dishl
Why, It's cookie or a walnut shell,
A knack, a toy, trick a babys capl
Away with it Come, let me have bigger!
But the fair wearers, one and all, reply
with Katharine:
I'll have no bigger this doth ct the time,
And gentlewomen wear such caps as these
and who shall dare to dispute their taste ?
1t is, however, pleasant to observe that, in
the matter of ornamentation, delicacy and
daintiness are taking the place of the too
proaoacees modes Of past seasons. q

Cases of Singular Theft.

1t is only n few years since that n
man was arrested in nm eastern city and
sent to Jail for stealing ladies' slippers
and CATERS. He invariably took them
from the feet of the wearers. He would
dart upon lady as she walked along
the street, tear off her shoe, and disap-
pear with the velocity Of n bat. He
worked" the street-cars and omni-
buses regularly, and once took the slip
per off bride at the church door. so
great was his skill in timing his depre-
dations and so instant his retreat that
he long escaped arrest. But he was IT,
nally taken. His apartments were found
to be crowded with female shoes. They
were of all sorts, from the dainty little
satin bootkin of Cinderella to the broad
and boat-like golosh of Mrs. Camp.
He was respectable" person with an
income, he read Plato, believed in in
FAINT baptism, and among his immediate
neighbors bore the repute OF being a
quiet, worthy citizen. He could not
tell what impelled him to these fantastic
acts of spoliation. 1t was IN irresisti-
BILE impulse, and in righteousness and
faulty was about on n level with the
propensity of u well-known London sur
gcon who had fancy for cutting the
table-cloth in two in every house to
which he was summoned. He kept a
lancet for that especial purpose, and In
the course of an extended professional
career probably destroyed more drapery
than any other practitioner in Great
Britain. These morbid tendencies and
phenomena are obviously salient points
of a great breadth and depth OF mental
disease. When alterations are slight
and solitary, when a person seems sane
in all except in some trivial particular,
it may be that the inconsiderable intel
lectual flaw does not seriously impair
the general integrity of the mind. 1t is
subject on which the legal and medi'
cal doctors are by no means at one.

Cora and the Fashions,

Cora Pearl boosted one day at din
ner given to few familiar friends, gen
tlemen well known ut the Jockey Club,
that she could not wear the most biz
ARE chapeau without having it copied
at once. ! may here remark that Miss
Cora made her own designs, and if she
wanted to mako a present of a scarf-pin
or an onyx cap she always made draw
ing for it. A bet was made upon this
statement, and taking one of the Wis
tors' hats she smashed it, trompled it
under foot, cooked up the brim, jaymed
in the crown, and then dexterously
trimmed it with ribbons and stuck a
white feather in the top. 1t then had
to be christened, and the name finally
pitched uponi twas the Rabagas." The
mprovised chapeau was worn in the
Bots de Boulogne, and the next day a
similar hat, but made of other mate
rials, was placed in the windows of the
modiste who supplied the inventor. A
more ugly-looking hat was never mount
ed upon the chignon of lady, yet in n
week it had become the mode, and for
three long months the Rabagas " has
been al the fashion. Since it must hive
reached New York ere this, it is well,
perhaps to give the origin of this mon
strosity, born of n conyivial dinner and
very damaged tile.
