Use for S,ceet Corn on the Farm.

The finest fodder is raised from man.
moth sweet corn sown for that purpose,
it being of large growth and suckering
freely on good soil. If to be fed during
short pasturage in summer it should
be wilted at least twenty-four hours
before wedding. If for winter use, il
should be we'll cured before storing, as
it contains so much sugar that 1t heats
quickly. Our practice has been to
wilt 1t two days, turning it on the sec
ond day, and then set it up in large
stocks and there let il stand until wan
ted, load by load. We find it the best
and cheapest feed, and on our rich
garden lands as profitable as most Of
our vegetable crops. We sow in FUR
rows three feet apart, eight or ten ker-
nels to foot in length. After one or
two workings the shade covers the
ground. 1t can be cut with u bush
hook, or what is better, with a stout
reaper, and left in bundles, if you have
two stout men to remove them lively.
Some of our largest pork raisers also
grow largely of the earlier sorts to be-
gin laying on fat before the dent corn
is ready. 1t is especially serviceable
where clover does not flourish, SO as 10
furnish summer hog feed. As soon as
it is fairly in the milk then begin TO
feed, cutting up from near the ground.
Scarcely a but is left, while of field
corn much of the stalk is refused by
the hogs. By the time the early sorts
are fed out the large evergreen sorts are
ready. This feed induces excellent
thrift, and prepares hogs nicely for
profitable feeding of the main crop,
and brings on earlier pork and more Of
it. I have never known any one to be
dissatisfied with the results of tho
practice.

An Observatory Near Belmont.

| An association of Boston gentlemen
have engaged in an important enter
prise in connection with the Centennial.
It is the erection of lofty iron observa.
tory, from which the thousands Of visi.
tors may obtain an extended view Of
Fairmount Park, the Exposition ground,
| the city and the surrounding country
The Park Commissioners have granted
site for the observatory on the most
elevated point in the Park, and the
| structure will be made one of the most
| that spacious pleasure ground.
The place selected is near the Belmont
mansion, on the west bank of the Schuyl-
kill, and q short distance north of the
Centennial grounds. The base viii, be
80 feet above the river, and the column
| will rise to a height of 200 feet, which
will give the lookout gallery an eleva-
| tion of over 500 feet, while the stars and
| stripes will wave from staff on top So
feet higher. The observatory will be
novelty in its way, and as the first ever
erected OF its kind, will form one of the
greatest curiosities of the great exhibi-
bition. Its inventor is Mr.. i. B. Saw
yer, a well-known resident of Charles
town District.
The observatory will be wholly of iron,
tubular in form, and is to be built in
sections which are firmly attached to
each other. 1t will be eight feet in di-
ameter at the base and somewhat small
er at the top. The colunn will be also
strengthened on four sides by truss
work, which extends from the base to
the top, and eight large guys of wire
rope, each of which is capable of sus-
tanning weight of thirty tons, will also
aid in keeping the tower in place.
The most remark kable feature of the
observatory is the fact that the elevator
car will ascend upon the outside Of the
shaft. An annular car, abolt twenty
feet in diameter, elegantly upholstered,
and capable OF accommodating twenty
five or thirty persons, will be raie cd like
an elevator upon the truss work or
guides. The car will be raised by eight
wire ropes, each of which will be capa-
BILE OF sustaining eight tons with safety,
the combined strength being more than
ten times as great than is necessary to
sustain the car freighted to its utmost
capacity with passengers.
In addition to all other means Of
guarding against the possibility of acci-
dents, there will be eight safety ma
chimes attached to the car OF elevator,
either one Of which would hold, even in
case all the ropes should chance to give
way, which is an impossibility. The
lifting power will be supplied by dou-
bic cylinder upright engine of 40 horse
power, located in building at the base.
The gallery and lookout at the top will
be covered and enclosed by wire net
work, and are intended to accommodate
about l25 persons.-Phila. Star. e--
