Drying Sweet Corn.

THERE are various ways of doing this,
and of course, womanlike, we think our
way is the best. We have tried both
ways-of cutting it from the cob and dry
ing ii in the sun without scalding, and of
first scalding it few minutes and then
cutting it as closely as is possible with
out shaving the cob-and can safely as
sert that the latter method is far superior.
So this season we shall put on the biggest
kettle that will fit the stove, and fill it up
with ears of sweet corn in the height of
their sweetness and juice, and letting
them scald for five minutes shall then
skim them out into pan, and with
corn-cutter scrape off each ear Then
spread the corn upon large plates, and
set them in the tin oven, back of Stewart
stove, or not having that they could be
placed in the stove oven when il is partly
cooled down. When the corn has shrunk
up so that the plates can be emptied into
one, it can be placed in the sun, and COW

which will keep off the flies etc, and
when thoroughly dried it can be kept in
a paper bag and hung up i'm the store.
room. Then next winter we shall have
succotash frequently, as we shall have a
plenty of dry Lima and butter beans.
To use the corn, first wash it in cold
water, letting all the huils rise to the top,
and be poured off. Then turn on warm
water enough to cover it, and let it soak
al night in a warm place. Next day
half an hours boiling will make it soft
and tender.
Soak the beans in the same manner, and

turn them together when they are ready
to be boiled, straining out all the water
from the beans, but leaving it in the corn,
as it will be sweet and milky. Add enough
water to boil both corn and beans. Then
turn in large cup Of rich milk, or cream,
and boil fifteen minutes. Season with
salt, pepper and butter.
1t stands to reason if the corn is first
scalded, it retains the sugar OF milk,
which produces its sweetness, but if it is
cut off in the green state, this dries away
upon the plates. And again, it is needful
to dry it rapidly at first to preserve this
flavor in the corn, which would be more
apt to evaporate if dried slowly in the
sun. But we must take care not to dry it
so quickly as to scorch the kernels, for
then they would be ruined. Sweet corn
is sometimes put down in salt. Cut OIL
the corn after first scalding it a few min
utes; then place layer Of it in stone
jar, and scatter thin layer of fine salt
over it, and fill up the jar in this manner.
Keep it in cool place, tightly covered,
and when desired for use, soak it over
night, first washing it in several waters to
take out the salt. Then boil it in milk
and water, with or without adding the
beans A tablespoonful of sugar will i'm
prove its favor.-Daisy Eyebrsght, IN

Wintering Bees.

Cellars are by some thought to be just
the thing. but many who have tried think
less of them than they did ere they put a
hive into the usual repositories Of apples
and potatoes. In such places it is claim
ed that the bees have brood earlier than
IL left out doors; but is that a benefit?
To have brood it is necessary that the
bees be active and also that large share
of honey and bee bread should be con-
sumed, for baby bees, like other babies,
need considerable feeding, and the nurse
will eat more when employed than when
drowsy and half torpid in a hive out OF
doors. Besides, is it not matter OF ex-
perience that such cellar-prOtected hives
are generally in worse condition by the
beginning of summer than those left out
of doors!
Some people instead of storing their
bees in cellars, put them under ground
Unfortunately the largest share of such
buried hives come out in condition worse
than if filled with frozen bees, for the
combs are mass Of mold, unfit for any
thing but making wax Of and poor wax
at that. This, the advocates Of the sys-
TEN will say, is owing to defects in the
putting up, or shall not say, down?
What is the use Of making so much
fuss about so simple matter, for bees
will do well enough during the winter
out of doors, providing there is such a
circulation of air in the hive as will carry
off the damp; and any one may secure
this by boring two inch hole in the
back of the hive near the top, and, for
protection against bee enemies, covering
il with wire cloth. A few years ago ven-
tilation was the rage, but some over-did it
for they might as well have made hives
entirely Of wire cloth, as the queer
things dignified with the name. 1t was
such kind of ventilation as one would
like to enjoy in summer time, but bees,
like men and women, like coy quarters
when the cold winds blow.
! speak of bees in Northern Ohio, not
in New England or up somewhere in the
region where Sir John Franklin was fro
zen in and died. But one thing ] may
hazard to say, and that is, bees will live
out Of doors in properly constructed hives
whenever they will live wild in the
woods.-Amateur, in Ohio Farmer.

But as the rich are much fewer than the

would be invidious. The statistics are

1t is time that all business men should
understand that, with here and there
special exception, the newspaper is par
excellence the only medium for advertising
that is worth their serious attention. The
newspaper is thing of life, avisible fact,
sure of its circulation, certain to be read.
1t constantly renews its youth; daily or
weekly it appears afresh, containing many
old faces, making themselves constantly
more and more familiar, but holding also
fresh facts, the latest news, the last won
der; even in its gossip it gives the mat
ter of its time and tells us what is alive
and moving, up to the very date it bears,
while its advertising columns show what
is being done in commercial circles, and
lays before its readers concise summary
of those new ideas through which money
is made by their fellows. AS compared
with all other advertising methods its
charges are reasonable, and its promises
modest, and while the business man is
supporting it, he is, moreover, gaining
from it in more ways than he may see at
first sight. Newspaper Reporter.

AN interesting instance OF fluctuating
connubial felicity has recently been
forced upon our attention. On tuesday
morning, man with wrathful features
came into the office, and laconically or
dered the insertion in the Journal OF
''To Whom it May Concern" forbidding
all persons from harboring or trusting his
wife, etc. He paid the bill as if it was
pleasure to him In the afternoon he
came again, looking cheerful this time
and desired the advertisement suppressed
-"as she and have made up" He took
his card and money, and went his way
buoyant and happy. But the next morn
ing he came back once more, saying ITS
no use, she's got to be posted" and hand
ing over his papers, disappeared. Before
night he returned, and again withdrew
his advertisement intimating that this
time the reconciliation was genuine and
everlasting. He did not put in an ap-
pearance the next day, but the day fol-
lowing he walked in, and with an air of
desperation, ordered for the third time
the momentous advertisement to be pub
lished. 1t was put in type, and as the pa
per was about to go to press, nervous,
sharp featured bright eyed woman of fifty
appeared on the scene, bringing writ
ing from her husband to the following
purport:
