Grasshopper Corn.
From the St. Louis Republican.

from the 81. AVUIA
There is a great deal OF mammoth
corn-mammoth in the Yield per
acre and In the size of the ears
in Missouri this year. but the We
ry finest, probably, is 10 that re-
gion where we least expect to find
1.-THE grasshopper counties. 1t
was too late, after The insects took
their departure, to sow small
grain and grass, and it was too
late. too, according 10 the rules of
good farming, to plant corn, with
the certainty of having it mature
before frost; still, planting corn
was all that the disbeartened
farmers could even attempt to do,
and so they sat about with all
their might, The earth helped
them, and the result is crop that
Is aconstant wonder to themselves.
\ few weeks ago the Bank of Hol-
den, johnson county, offered a
prize of $25 for fifteen ears Of the
best corn raised by one farm in
the grasshopper counties of John
son, Bates, Henry, Lafayette and
Cass; this was increased by the
merchants to $50. There were fif-
ty-three entries, and the award
was made last Saturday. Such
corn was never seen before" is the
brief but comprehensive report we
hear of the display; and the won
der increases when it is said that
nearly all the seed-corn il those
counties was begged, and not
planted till the 10th of June
Some of the choicest ears exhibit
cd are to be sent to The St. Louis
Merchants Exchange, aud after
ward to the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL, to let the world see what
the western counties Of Missouri
can do in the way of corn-raising.

Onions sown in Fall.

Last year we published an ar
ticle by Peter Henderson in which
he gave the experience OF a Long
Island market gardener who-sow-
ed his onions in autumn. We
gave the plan a trial in our own
garden last fall but tie sowing
was not made until the very end
iof September, npd the. yopng
plants did not make sufficient
growth TO stand the very severe
winter, even though they were
well covered. Sill the success.
though only partial, was sufficient
! to show that this method is wor-
/ thy of consideration, and from the
amount that came to maturity on
our bed this summer, have no
doubt it will answer wherever
sets are used; but where onions
can be raised directly from the
seed. there Will be no advantage
from fall sowing except for such
as are to be marketed green or
very early. The idea is to SOW
the seed in the fall at such a time
as will allow the planto to form a
bulb large enough to stand the
wine and yet not So large as 10
run up 20 flower the next sefson;
in fact, to raise onion sets, wh!ch
instead of being harvested, are to
be left in the ground, where they
will be ready to grow as soon as
spring opens. On Long Island
the middle of September is found
to be the best time to SOW; further
South it should be later, and
North of that earlier. Success
will largely depend upon the time
of sowing, and this for any par
ticuIar locality can only be ascer-
tanned by experiment. The GOV
ering should not be pu ton before
cold weather has stopped the
growth of the bulbs. and may be
of leaves, straw, marsh hay or 9th
er litter.

Cnre for Sheep Chasing
Dogs.

. Many people will assent hearth.
ly to the principle that the best
cure for a sheep-chasing dog is to
kill him at the earliest practical
moment; but there may be excep
tional cases. A correspondent of
the London Field seems to think
so at least, and relates an instance
where, after other attenp pts had
failed, a fine Newfoundland dog
was cured by tying him to two
old Scotch rams, and lett to such
amusements as be could extract
from their society. The result
was an extensive ramble over hill
and dale, hedges and bitches and
diversified, of course, by the dis.
cordant views each ram and the
dog entertained as to the route of
enjoying the best scenery. When
all three were very tired they we're
loosed, and nothing thereafter
was SO extremely offensive to that
dogs taste as the society of sheep.

Eggs as Diet.

On this subject the Poultry Re
Uie1c has the following pertinent
and suggestive remarks: Would
it not be wise TO substitute more
eggs for meat in our daily diet? A.
bout one lind of the weight of an
egg is solid nutrimcut. This is
more than can be said of meat
There are no bones or tough pieces
that has to be laid aside. A good
egg is made up of 10 parts she'll
so parts>white aud so parts yolks.
The white of an egg contains sc
per cent. The average Of an egg
is about two ounces. Practically
an egg is animal food. and yet
there is none Of the disagreeable
work of the butcher necessary TO
obtain it. The vegetarians of
England use eggs freely, and ma
ny of these men are eighty and
ninety years old, and have been
remarkably free from illness =
Eggs are best when cooked four
minutes. This takes away the
animal taste which is offensive to
some, but does not SO harden the
white or yUlk as to make them
bard to digest. An egg if cooked
very hard, is difficult of digestion,
except by those with stout stom-
achs; such eggs should be eaten
with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast
is food fit for a king, it kings de-
serve any better food than any
body else which is doubtful
Fried eggs are less wholesome
than boiled cnes. An egg drop
ped down into hot water is not on
ly clean and handsome, but
delicious morsel. Most people
spoil the taste of their egg by add.
ing pepper and salt. A little
sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much more phospho-
rus, which is supposed to be use
full to those who use their brains
much.

Poisoned Stockings.

The recent introduction and
extended use of cOlOred or stri-
ped stockings, and the evil eff
fects experienced by the wearer
of them, have served to direct
the attention Of the physician
and analyst to the question Of
the dyes used in coloring them.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in no.
ticing the evil effect of wearing
colored hose, cites several in
stances where intense irritation
in the skin Of the feet, SWELL
ing, and an iniamed appear
ance; then an outbreak of wa
terry blisters Of all sizes, from
groups the size of a hemp seed
to single blisters on the sole of
the foot larger than five-shili-
ing piece. This condition was
accompanied by general fever
ishness, rigors, loss Of appetite,
and a sensation of pervading
qndld6se. In a severe attack the
patient was rarely able to walk
for three weeks, and after one
attack passed off it was often
followed by another of a milder
type. In one case a gentleman
was obliged to wear shoes for
upward of eight months; and
with other patients the system
has been so impregnatcd with
the poison that blisters have re-
appeared at intervals, not only
on the feet, but on the hands,
ears, etc, for more than three
years. There was no doubt as
to the cause and method of this
blood-poisoning, for the biisters
first came in stripes correspon-
ding to the colored stripes on
the stockings, and the laun-
dresses complained Of the irrita-
ton and infamed condition Of
their hands after washing these
poisonous articles. A Scotch
lady who suffered from a like
cause brought a successful suit
against the firm which supplied
her with the goods, and it was
formally announced that hence
forth the use of arsenic in the
composition of the dyes would
be discontinued.

The Prince of Wales, Income.

1t is now close on twelve years since
the establishment of the present
Prince took place, on his marriage in
1863. As is well known, the parlia-
ment added e40,0O0 year to the in
herited 100000 from the Duchy Of
Cornwall, making together an annual
sum of el00,000. The Princes received
an annuity of cl0, 600; and there were
besides the abundant savings from the
Duchy during the minority, which
reached the handsome sum of $40, 600.
OF this amount e220, 900 was laid out
in the purchase of an estate at Sand
rins ham el00, 900 on q suitable outfit;
5000 on a house, &c, for the estate !;
while 100000 more it was stated,
would be absorbed by repairs TO farm
houses and improvement of farms a.
they dropped out of lease, which would
leave balance of about 100000.
