SIR,-I find by numerous experimental trials
that the work doue by the best stcam-engnes,,
with mound of coal, can be doubled, aud hail
the fuel now bul NED iii producing steam power
saved, by using the Immense amount OF latent
heat that escapes in exhaust steam /" produce
bower. The exhaust from any sly IL OF engine
can be- taken in pipe to an adjoining building
if DESIRED and there used to heat Il boiler ana
drive second engine, which will DO as much
work as is done by the first from winch the OK
baust is taken, without diminishing the work
of the first engine or requiring any additional
fuel to run it-thus using the heat twice anu
producing two results instead Oh one r.,
The Haskius Machine Company. OF Fitch
burg, Mass, have been running their works on
this plan for the past year hey use inc cN
b.ust from an engine that drives the works OF
= nciphbor to heat their boiler and drive their
enjuine, and use no fuel whatever. Diners
have been pursuing similar course Inr snort
or, time. Every establishment using lDU horse
mower and allowing the exhaust to escape into
the atmosphere is wasting from 50, 600 To 1000
per aUnum.
The process by which these results are OBJ
tained is very simple and free from danger
The second boiler is filed mainly with the
absulphide of carbon instead OF wafer. This
fluid hoils at lower temperature than water,
and the heat of exhaust steam bolls it and con
verts it into vapor, giving pressure OF 6O
pounds to the inch. This vapor works an en-
CINE the same as steam, aud after it is used in
The engine it is condensed by cooling, usually
with an atmospheric condenser, and pumped
into the boiler again and used continuously
without loss except by leakage, which Is very

Cooking Food for stock.

The advantage of cooking food for
stock, especially mich COWS and young
stock, is fast becoming one of the settled
questions in agriculture. We hardly
know a dairyman who does not pour boi-
ing water over his cut hay and meal and
bran, even if he does not cook it by
steaming. 1t Is found to economic feed,
to increase the flow of milk, and promote
appetite. Cows viii eat much more of
cut hay and feed steamed or mOistened
with boiling water, than they will Of dry
food and we hold If is the true policy
of the dairyman to induce his cows to eat
rs much as possible, as the more they
take in by way of food, the more will be
given out in the form of milk To stint
COWS at all in an ample supply OF proper
food to keep up nutrition, and promote
milk secretion, can only be called "a pen
ny wise and pound foolish" policy. 1t
will not pay. When roots are also boiled
or steamed, the nutritive matter they
contain is more fully developed, and the
same weight of roots produces larger re-
suits, both in the condition of the COW
and in her milk secretion. Practical

From an English paper it appears that
the news from Bombay Is to the effect
that in no previous year has the cotton
crop Of that section promised such excel
lent results. Unless some unforeseen
accidents should destroy whole fields of
cotton, the shipments from Bombay dur
ing 1878 will aggregate not less than
l, 250, 600 bales-namely, an increase of
more than quarter of a million bales
above last years shipments. Great at
tention is being given to the culture of
cotton in India, and that accounts for the
heavy increase of the staple As il can
now be shipped to France and England
through the Suez Canal, instead of
around the Cape of Good Hope. the
profits to all parties are greater, and that
fact viii stimulate India to stu greater
efforts in that field of native production.

FAR "a.
seed Corn

Edifors Rural Coroiniaa:
Very many farmers and planters are
of the opinion that a variety OF corn with
a small cob and large grains viii yield
more per acre than variety with large
cob and grains Of the same size. This
is mistake, as can be seen by a mo-
ment reflection. We have frequently
heard it asserted that where only a small
portion of the bulk Of an ear OF corn Is
made up Of cob, there must necessarily
be more grain than were it otherwise.
This IS certainly not very logical con
clusion.
4 large cob, having more surface for
the attachment Of grains than a small
one, uuquestionably has a corresponding
Nv greater number Of grains. 1t Is true
hat measure Of ear corn Of the small
,Jb variety, a barrel full for instance,
contains more grain than a like barrel
full Of the large cob kind a fact which
has doubtless caused many TO fall into
the prevailing error; but it is equally
true that oil of piece OF ground plant
ed In the large cob variety, greater
number Of barrels Of ear corn viii be
obtained than if it had been planted in
the small cob variety, and the bulk OF
the large cob corn over and above that
of the small cob variety is made up Of
grain as we'll as of cob. This being the
case, there can be no question as to which
Of the two kinds Will yield more per acre.
The large cob corn, if we mistake not,
will Yield from two TO FIVE bushels more
than the other. If our memory serves
us correctly, Mr.. Editor, you once, in q
short editorial upon the subject, spoke OF
a small cob as an important characterize
ic Of good variety Of corn for seed.
Do you plead guilty to the charge?

Cholera. Mango. WORMS ia Hogs.


There are but three diseases requiring
treatment, which are mango cholera,
and worms in the kidneys, commonly
called breaking down in the Ioins For
mango, wash well with I've soap and then
pot liquor For cholera, if / know the
disease, Is soon as you see the hog begin
to droop and try to vomit, gag him, and
give him twenty grains Of calomel made
into pill. If you have been in the hab-
it Of giving your hogs spirits of turpen-
tine at the rate Of one tablespoonful to
the hog, put it on corn, and you will
rarely be troubled with this fatal disease.
If the first dose Of calomel does not re-
lieve in twenty-four hours, repeat the
dose. / rarely have to repeat it, if adj
ministered in time. We sometimes see
hogs dragging their hind legs. This is
caused by worms in the kidneys, and
may be easily cured by giving a table
spoonful of turpentine every morning for
three or four days, mixed with corn.
Hogs which have been feeding on acorns
are most subject 10 this disease and
should have the turpentine at least
twice a week, while feeding on this mast
Every hog-feeder should keep a bottle Of
the spirits of turpentine, and give it oc-
casionally through the year-he will find
it Of great benefit to his hogs. l have
practiced this for twenty years success
fully. 1t seems to be Il specific food for
