Our farmers will doubtless thank us
for giving them the benefit of a smart
boys researches on the subject of the
great western staple, corn. He says
"Gorns are of two kinds, vegetable and
animal. Vegetable corn grows in rows,
and animal corn grows on toes. There
are several kinds of corn; there is uni
corn, capricorn, corn dodgers, corn field
and toe corn, which is the corn you feel
most. 1t IS said, / believe, that 20
piers like corn; but persons having
cOrns do not like to Ego far" if they can
help 1t. COrns have kernels and some
Colonies have corns Vegetable corn
grows on ears, but animal corn grows on
feet at the other end of the body. An
other kind of corn is acorn these grow
on oaks, but there is no hoax about the
corn. The corn is a corn with an in
definite article. but the corn is verv
definite article indeed. Try and see.
Many q man when he has a corn wishes
1t was an acorn. Folks that have corns
sometimes send for doctor, and if the
doctor himself is corne6, he won't prob
ably do as well as if he isn't. The doc
tor says that corns are produced by
tight boots or shoes, which is probably
the reason why when man is tight they
say he Is cOrned. If farmer manages
we'll ne can get good deal of corn on
one acre, but | know farmer that has
one corn that is the biggest acher on his
farm. The bigger crop of vegetable corn
a man raises the better be likes it, but
the bigger crop of animal corn he raises
the better he don't like it. Another
kind of corn Is corn dOdger. The way
1t Is made Is very simple, and is as fol-
lows-(that is, if you want to know. J
You 90 along u street and meet a mar
that you know has corns, and is a rough
character you then step on the toe that
has corn on 1t, and see if you DOM
have occasion to dodge. In that way
you will find out what a corn dodper Is >

SWINE BREEDING.

The Massachusetts State Board Of Ag-
riculture discussed this subject. and in
its discussion Mr. Harris, Of New York.
said it must be admitted. as a rule. that
the Office Of the pig was to use and econ
Omize food which would otherwise be
wasted or sold at profit, but still far
mers could sometimes better afford to
feed corn or wheat to well-bred pigs
than to sell At at the market price. lie
did not know any more profitable branch
Of farming than raising pigs and selling
them at four months for from 81 to IS
head. He was certain that pigs could
be raised that would dress more than if
ty pounds at four months old, and by
studying the wants Of the market aud
paying more attention to quality, we
should be able to holl our own against
the West. The aim should be to pro-
duce choice meat and rich manure. Mr..
Harris said be had endeavOred to find
out how much pork there was in pound
Of corn, and be had found that two
pounds Of corn would produce a little
more than one pound Of increase. Lib
eral feeding while the pig was growing
would not only be more economical but
they would get more rather than less
meat. One hundred pounds of corn,
over and above the amount required to
sustain the vital functions, was capable
Of producing slxty.one pounds of dressed
pork. Science had produced a pig near
ly perfect in form, with small proper
ton Of bone and Offal, and what was
now wanted was pig with strong d.
gestive apparatus. The pig must have
a good appetite in order to make pork,
and should be kept warm. dry, and hap
~ in his pen, with no disposition to run
about and stick his nose into other peO-
pies business. The restless native pig
requires twenty-five pounds of corn a
week to keep him alive, while the quiet
and meditative Essex pig only needs
thirteen pounds and we believe that a
pig could be bred that would do even
better than that In feeding pigs, the
first object should be to reduce the cost
of running the machine. If pigs were
kept in a damp, wet, or dirty pen, more
food was required to keep up the heat of
the body. Regular feeding was impor-
tant, because irregularity in this re-
spect induced restlessness and indiges-
ton. If two pounds Of corn, over and
above the amount required to sustain
the vital functions, was capable of pro-
ducing a pound of dressed pork, farmers
should understand that every extra two
pounds Of corn required to keep up the
heat in cold, damp pens, was an actual
loss, not Of two pounds of corn, but Of
one pound Of dressed pork. On the sub.
Ject Of pig-manure, Mr.. Harris said he
estimated that he got Al ID cents worth
OF manure a week from a pig whose food
cost him 81 l-2 cents. He presented
many tables showing the value Of the
manure obtained from feeding various
kinds Of roots. Pig manure was very
liable to be wasted, there was so much
urine connected with it, and great car,
should be taken to absorb the liquid
which was a very powerful manure.

previous to feeding. we had not had
eggs for long time. We hear great
deal Of complaint from other people about
not getting eggs. To all such we would
warmly recommend cooked food, fed hot.
Boiled apple-skins, seasoned with red
peppers, or 1oiled potatoes, seasoned with
horseradish, are good for feed; much
better than uncooked corn. Corn, when
fed by itself, has tendency to fatten
hens, instead of producing the more
profitable egg-laying. A spoonful of
sulphur stirred into their feed occasion
ally will rid them of vermin and tone
up their systems. This is especially
good for young chickens or turkeys
Out Of flock of ten chickens, Matched
the last of November, we have lost but
one. They have been fed cooked feed
most Of the time, and are growing finely.
To PURIFY DAIRY UTENsILs.-Stand

opened vessel of suitable dimensions for
the size Of the dairy, say from half a
barrel to a hogshead In this Stake
some good quick-lIme, enough to make
thin whitewash when filed full of wa
ter, and cover to keep out dirt and dust.
The lime will settle, leaving saturated
solution of lime over it, as clear as spring
water. After using the milk pans, etc,
wash them as other utensils are washed
and rinsed then dip them in the ad-
joining cask of clear water, giving them
a quick turn, so that every part becomes
immersed therein ; set them to drain and
dry and the publication is complete with

pan to the old worn out one.
The time in the clear water instantly
neutralizes the acldity of the milk yet

dipped out for the time being and pour

SELECTING SEEDs.-lt is the time for
selecting seeds for spring planting
There are several ways Of doing this
one from experience, which is always
the best guide unless one wants to make
experiments another from the expert
ence Of others, as given in the agricul-
tural papers, farmers clubs, etc.. an
other from the information derived from
the elaborate and generally carefully
prepared catalogue of the seedsman.-
No matter which of these guides is chos-
en-, the Importance of making choice and
giving orders for seeds early. ought not
to be overlooked. For, as the season ad-
vances, every scotsman will be over
whelmed with business and as the rule
Is, First come first served" those who
delay their orders may have to wait
what they may regard an unreasonable
length of time-and sometimes until it
is too late to derive the advantage which
an earlier ordering might secure them.
This is given as hint to our readers
which it will be we'll for them to act
upon.-Rural Nelr Yorker.

Now, according to the above figures, the
Methodists. alone, have more church
property than the Roman Catholics, by
nearly one-sixth. The Baptists, Episco-
pal and Presbyterians have each more
than half as much, while all denumina-
tons have nearly six times as much as
the Roman Catholics. agree with
those who believe that the Roman Cath
olics are a dangerous element in our
bOdy-pOlitic and that all their political
movements should be jealousy watched.
But it is no use to scare ourselves with
false statements in regard to their nu-
merical or financial strength. They are
neither the most numerous nor the most
wealthy church in the land. That dis
tinctiOn belongs to the Methodists.
