FEEDING SoFT CoRy.-There is at the
present time considerable diversity of
opinion as to the relative merits of soft
corn for fattening purposes, As the crop
for 1875, thr IIghout the whole country,
was injured by frosts to the extent of
making It what is termed ''soft corn, " it
is important that every feeder should
know how to utilize 1t to the best advan-
tage. 1t is conceded that it takes more
corn to make the same amount of fat
when il is unsound, than when well ma
tured. Feeders are too apt to oyer-esti-
mate the value of soft corn. They should
ascertain how much dry corn it would
make. then they would know its actual
value. The present crop of corn should
be shrunk twenty five per cent, to make
il hold out next summer, when 1t is thor
oughly dry.
We are one who believes that frosted
corn, IL not injured too severely, will
put on flesh as rapidly as corn that is
well matured, and takes but little more
of it, IL it is reduced to dry corn. We
expect to turn of, the coming winter and
spring. as fat cattle and hogs as usual,
regardlessef soft corn.
Last winter we weighed our hogs and
corn, and will do so with the present
crop as soon as the corn is dry enough 70
ascertain more correctly its true measure.
Unquestionably the best use that can
be made of the present crop of corn, is
to feed it to stock, regardless of how
much they eat. Stock is relatively much
higher than corn, and we can afford to
feed it layishly. If we consider that one
hundred bushels are actually only sew

RULES FOR MLKING.-The following
rules are issued from New York cheese
factory for the use of its patrons, and
are worthy of wider dissem ination:
1. Milchcows should have free access,
at all times, to good, running water
2. They should never be heated, by
being run, stoned or dogged.
3. The utmost cleanliness should be
observed in milking, and by no means
wet the hands in the milk while milking.
f. No can of milk should stand where
it will absorb the barnyard or stable
odor, or any other scent.
5. The milk should be strained and
well aired, Immediately after having
been drawn from the COW.
8. Some arrangement for eiTeetuaIly
cooling is at all times very desirable. and
when the milk is kept at home over night
i. is Indispensable.
z. Scalding all vessels used about milk
at least once 2 day with boiling water.
and rinslng With cold water at night is
essential

SWKEF PoTAToRs FOR WINTER USE. -
The farinacious tuber, the sweet potato,
wouId be considered of much more i'm
portanee than at present, if it was gen.
orally know how TO preserve it in good
condition for Winter use. 1t is some
times called the potato of Shakespeare,
because it was known by writers of his
time. If they were not made better use
of then, than they are generally in the
West. they could not have thought them
worthy of much attention. We, how
ever, in the West, have not the advsn-
tage of general adaptation of the soil, but
with proper care in the selection of the
soii. fair results may be obtained The
keeping qualities of those grown are not
quite SO good as those Southern grown,
as they are not so dry in texture.
They nust be taken from the ground
before the leaves are bitten by the frost,
or soon after, and thoroughly dried. If
placed in a dry room or temperature
they will keep for some time in fair con-
dision, but if wanted for Winter use,
they should be placed in dry sand or
dust from the road so they will not
touch each other. If these are not con-
veuient a piece of soft paper may be
wrapped around each one separately,
and then placed in e box and use as de-
sired. The box should be placed in q
cool room, not cold enough to freeze
them If properly kept. they make rare
treats Tor the table during late Winter
and early Spring.

How to Lay Shingles to Make them
acting


Nearly twenty-five years ago neigh
Dor built large barn and covered 1t
with poplar shingles. About ten years
later a gentleman, with whose farm he
Joined. also built large barn and GOV
cred it with the same quality Of roofing.
The roof that was laid first has withstood
the rains. storms and sunshine for
quarter OF a century, and to-day, scarce
ly leak or rotten shingle can be found;
while the one that was put on the build
ing ten years later, began leaking III
hundred places, so much so that the ser
vicesof a carpenter were called to stop
the leaks by patching, and found the roof
so worthless that even with the greatest
care all the leaks could not be stopped:
There is something about cut shingles
which every one has not learned. 1t i
this: Every shingle has smooth and
rough side. The rough side is caused by
the shingle cracking nearly asunder,
while being cut If, in laying on the
roof, this side is turned to the weather,
the lint from the shingles above washes
into the cracks, thus making it equal to
a sawed shingIe, and, some think, even
better; but if the smooth side is put to
the weather, the roof will leak and be-
come worthless as soon as the shingle
wears off to the cracks from the under
side. The fact was well known to the
man who built the first barn, and he, be-
ing a man who believed and practiced
the maxim that ''what is worth doing is
worth doing well" examined every shin
gle himself, and with a pencil designated d
the side he desired the carpenter to put
to the weather; while his neighbor, ten
years later, allowed the carpenter to put
his on in the haphazard style so common
to mechanics.
Roofs may be made doubly durable by
giving them coat of thin oil before they
getwet, first carefully placing the cracked
side to the SUM-

picked just before thereis danger of their
freezing. A box five or six inches in

away in. The punches are looked over
very carefully and all imperfect berries
removed before they are laid in the box

them the least amount of handling

TIE lives o. ''sports," as they are
called, no one will pretend to be worthy
or desirable. No farmer or intelligent,
industrious man, will desire that his son
shall become a horse Jockey, a profes-
sional baseball player, & pugilist, pro-
fessional athlete, billiard player, or ;Gen-
tify himself With any other of the ''pro-
feSslons" whose members make a hyeli-
hood by betting money, or by being the
object upon which other men gamble.
Nevertheless it is fact that the associa-
tions of horse racing agricultural socie
ties are just such as develop in the young
farmer, especially il be Is fond of a good
horse, both the propensity and the desire
for such pursuits. They create discomfort
with the unexciting farm routine, unfit
him for the quiet, earnest pursuit OF
studies, calculated to make him master
of his calling, aud render lim restive un-
less he is in contact with class Of men
whose influence is most psrligious aud
demoralizing. This is something to think
about. t.-RuFdl Near Yorker.

SMOKING IN THE BARN.-"NO smok-
ing" is posted in most decent factories.
1t ought to be posted in every barn.
There is not much difference in having a
horse thief around the stables and man
cleaning off horses with pipe IN his
mouth; and there is no hired man much
meaner than the one who, when his eli
ployer comes around, slips his pipe into
his pocket, or holds his hand over it as
though it was a little bird All such fel
lows should be paid off, started of, and
kept off. As for the farmer hini So
ing into the barn with q pipe in his
mouth. complaint can be made; but if
his establishment burns up nobody
should cry, unless it be the wife and chill
dren. Lightning and ineendiaries and
spontaneous combustion, combined, do
not cause as many barns to be burned
as the pipe; .thd generally at least one
good horse goes also. 1t would be much
better if the smoker could 80 up with the
smoke, and have smoke enough for once.

Come, farm and garden
How Farmers wives Break Down.

now = arfner 3 wives bfeoh OO"u'
A woman tells this story to the Boston
CHlticGtoS, and many can testify of their
own knowledge that it is sadly true:
''She has four little girls-the eldest
six years, and the youngest three months.
Her husband keeps six cows, and culti-
Yates farm of hundred acres, employ
ing two hired men to aid him. Three
meals must be cooked daily for family
of seven, not counting the baby, four
children dressed and cared for; the milk
of six cows attended to, and butter made;
while the weekly washing and ironing
must be accomplished in the same way.
From four O'Clock in the morning until
ten, and sometimes eleven, at night, one
pair of hands and one pair of feet per-
form this labor, and now the tired body
rebels. and says "Tnis cannot be en-
dured."
Let Inc tell you ofanother case. The
farmer and his wife has three children,
all under eight years. He employs two
hired men, boarding them, and keeps
eleven cows. A woman comes in TO do
the washing; but that is all the assist
ance the wife receives, except the few
steps the husband can save her. She
must rise at four o'clock and prepare
breakfast, so that her husband and the
sshands" can be in the moving field by
five. Every other day, however, one OF
the hired men remains TO do the churn-
ing for her; but this favor was not al
lowed her until she had threatened to
call In the doctor to declare to her hus-
band her inability to do such hard work.
Then it was reluctantly conceded, al
though two forty pound firkins were
packed each week; for our farmer prid-
ed himself on his herd of cows-pure-
blood Alderneys-and sells his butter at
tine highest rates, carefully depositing its
proceeds In the bank, and rarely giving
his wife so much as a five-dollar bill oft.
His last injunction to the ''hand," as he
departs to the field, is, John, come just
as quick as you can. Don't let Mrs. NJ.
keep you for anything else. Hay can't
wait for woman's work" There are
dishes to wash, milk to skim, pans to
scald, beds to make, children to dress,
baby to nurse, rooms to sweep, and din
ner to cook over the broiling hot stove;
and one woman to do it ALL"

TREES ABOUT FARM BUILDINGS.-A
goodly number of shade trees about the
farm buildings add much to the general
appearance of the place, as also TO the
comfort of man and beast during the hot
days of summe; But many make the
mistake of planting too many large grow
ing trees near their dwellings, which, IN
time, exclude both light aud air, and
cause the building, standing constantly
in the shade, to become unhealthy. In
cold climates deciduous trees should al
ways be preferred to evergreens, when
planted in positions likely to shade the
house; because it is only in hot weather
that shade is desirable, and in winter all
the light and solar heat to be obtained
are required for health. As a rule, we
would say: Keep all trees of larger
growth at least one HUNDRED feet from a
dwelling house, using the Intervening
space as lava. 10 which may be plant
ed small growing trees and shrubs. Ever.
green trees should be employed exclu-
sively for ornamentation, or as wind
breaks but never for shade
