er, and in all respects is better adapted to
the maintenance of health in plants at all
times than one of less porous nature.
The surface preserves more equable tenn
perature, as evaporation does not use up
heat needed in the soil where plants are
growing; the roots of the plants have a
more natural medium, consequently the
plants are healthier, grow faster with a
healthy growth, and come to maturity
with better product than otherwise would
be the case on such soil. A dry soil also
holds more moisture by being frequently
and thoroughly worked than otherwise
would be the case, and crops grown there
in come to maturity with better product
than otherwise. Thorough pulverization
and culture of soil exerts one of the
strongest influences on continued vitality
and health of all kinds of vegetation,
seeds and products. Grain or any other
product is less liable to deterioration from
continued cropping of the same soil where
thorough pulverization and filming the soil
and culture is practiced than where less
thorough management is employed Farm
ers do not work their land so much as
would be profitable. We have in mind

Drying Corn.

/ can remember when I was little
girl that it took us at least two days to
dry sweet corn so that it was fit to put
away. Then the next summer it would
be wormy and worthless. Frequently,
too, it would be tainted with taste indi-
eating that it had begun to sour before
fully dried. But we have found out a
better way than that now. l can dry a
bushel of ears in day, and do it right,
and will give you my plan. To begin,
l watch the barometer. When the corn
is ready, barely ripe enough, tender and
sweet and full of milk, and when the
days are long and very warm, and no in
dications Of rain, then we rise earlier than
usual, and while getting breakfast some
of the men will gather in the corn. 1t is
so much nicer if plucked fresh the same
day it is dried. The ears are made as
clean as possible and dropped into boiling
water and left until the milk is set. The
corn is shaved and scraped off the cob
with a thin-bladed, sharp case-knife.
This is done out under the shade-trees in
the backyard to avoid the house-flies.
When deep dishful is ready rub and
work it with clean hands to separate the
pieces Of grains that may stick together
in Jumps. Then in a sunny place near
the portico or sitting-room window /
spread the leaves of the largest table and
cover it with large papers and scatter the
corn evenly all over it, AS often as every
twenty minutes 1 stir it about lightly. If
the day is breezy the air will dry it as
fast as the sunshine. The. corn from a
bushel of ears can be dried at one time on
the table If not stirred frequently it will
keep moist next the paper. 1t should be
removed at least an hour before sunset
Put in paper or clean linen sacks and lay
near the kitchen stove, or on the floor
above the stove if practicable. Lay the
sacks in the sunshine the next day, shift
ing them about occasionally. This is
such clean way of drying corn, and is
so free from flies.
Nearly every woman who reads this will
say she makes no allowance for the chick
ems troubling her! Yes, do. That is the
reason why set the table nearthe portico
or a window where can watch it. In the
afternoon, when the corn is pretty we'll
dried, l often spread newspapers over it
and tasten them down with weights around
the edges. Care must be observed not to
drop any of the corn while putting it on
the ground; if you do that will serve as a
bait for the chickens. You have all heard
of the mother who drew her child's atten-
ton and won it into good behavior by
daubing molasses on its hands and giving
it feathers to play with. Next to that is
my sly trick of scattering coarse corn meal
on the ground thinly at some distance
from the house and calling the chickens to
come to the feast. They can be most
charmingly beguiled into the trap. How
they will chatter and gossip, and oh! and
ali ! and pick and scratch and squint over
the repast! l don't encourage familiarity
with our chickens. They have to keep at
a distance and are not even allowed to
come On the porch. A whip with long
lash stands beside the kitchen door, and
they, all have memories Of smarting legs
and ruttled plumage.-Cor. Ohio Farmer

There is no good reason why farmers
and their families should eat SO much salt
pork, leaving all the fresh meat to the in
habitants of cities and villages, when the
following method will keep meat fresh
for weeks even in the warmest weather. l
have tried it for several years: AS soon
as the animal heat is out of the meat,
slice it up ready for cooking. Prepare a
large jar by scalding it we'll with hot salt
water. Mix salt and pulverlZed saltpeter.
Cover the bottom Of the jar with sprinkle
of salt and pepper. Put down layer of
meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper the
same as if it was just going to the table
| and continue in this manner until the jar
is full. Fold cloth or fowl and wet in
strong salt and water in which little of
the saltpeter is dissolved: Press the cloth
closely over the meat and set it in a cool
place. Be sure and press the cloth in
tightly as each layer is removed, and your
meat will keep for months. 1t is good
plan to let the meat remain over night,
after it is sliced, before packing. Then
drain off all the blood that oozes from it..
1t will be necessary to change the cloth
OCCASIONALLY, or take it off and wash it
first in cold water then scald in salt water,
as at first. In this way farmers can have
fresh meat all the year round. have

Make the Soil a Seed-Bed.

In regafdi!to working the land more
thoroughly and reducing the soil to a fine
condition, w. H. White, writes that the
imperfect fitting and preparing the soil,
when blowing, is one OF. the greatest
causes of deterioration, in quantity and
quality, Of our wheat crop all over the
country. To this, combined with want of
care in the selection of seed, may be at
tributed, mainly, the decreased health and
productiveness of this one staple, and the
increased number and destructiveness of
insect and other enemies. Remedy these
two causes andfmprovement will soon be
seen and felt III greater average product.

other grains and other products.
Only limited nuniber of farmers, judy
ing from their practices, appear to appre-
ciate the, Important influence fine and
mellow seed-bed exerts on the following
crop. A congenial seed bed induces quick
termination Of the seed and early and
rapid growth Of the young plants, putting
them beyond the reach Of injury by worms
and other insect enemies Such enemies
find less inducement for Judgment in q
soil properly. prepared; and where the
culture is continuously thorough for sue
cessive crops and years insect enemies
commonly grow less and less troublesome,
for the reason that their appropriate food
is not found in their season. The soil is
put in such state that the plant-foOd is
digested and readily yielded to the grow
ing plants, and instead Of the plants
awaiting q slower process of the elements
of food being dissolved out for them, they
are more free and ready to enter into new
combinations or be appropriated into the
growth of the plant, causing a healthy,
vigorous growth to maturity-a growth
and plants SO vigorous that, insect enemies
are less likely td interfere than where less
vigorous and thrifty. Good blowing can
not be done at all times and seasons when
the elements7seem to favor. Soils that need
the most manipulation to render them fit
seed beds for grain are the most affected by
victor dry weather, and are the longest
time coming into condition to be suitably
plowed. Summer fallows are often made
that the elements paNdo what the farmer
might well perform d. the appropriate
time. Good management and good farm
ing would do away with the necessity of

German Child Romances.

Every age and every country has its TO.
nance, but the romance of childhood be-
longs more especially to Germany. Won
derful tales of fairies and kobolds, of pix.
les and watersprites, ofdwarfs and giants,
are sung over the babes in the cradle, told
by the Preside of every hut and cottage, to
the wondering, eager, little, blond haired
children, whose eyes are so full of earnest
ness and belief.
What histories are connected with the
fir-trees, with the beloved and venerated
Chrtstbaum! What legends Turk in the
caves and the woody hollows! Though it
be yet summer, the child sees in fancy the
beautiful Veinachtsbaum adorned with
splendid sparkling things, as the gospel
is adorned with promises and hopes rich
in gifts, as the three kings were rich ;
pointing to heaven, as the angel pointed !;
bright as those very heavens were bright,
with silver-wingcd messengers, crowned
with gold, as the word was crowned: odor-
GUS like the frankincensc; sparkling like
the star; spreading forth its arms full of
peace and goodwill on every side; hold
ing out gifts and promises for all.
And they see the old King Winter max.
ing ready for his journey from the north
pole; his spiked crown of icicles is on his
head; his long, white beard is frozen; his
snow mantle, and ice sceptcr, and rubi-
cand nose and good-humored laugh; all
are familiar to them. He comes in a
sledge drawn by reindeer, and with him
his queen, Frau HOLE, who, like
a tender wife, stutfs his cushions
with snow-fakes; they are attended
By their trusty servant, Knecht Ru-
precht, the Wesndchts:nann, he who knows
all about the good and naughty children.
And the vassals Of King Winter, when
they know he is coming, hasten to spread
beautiful rime-carpets before him; and,
as he loves fine mirrors, Knecht Ruprecht
lays clear crystal looking glasses over the
lakes and rivers for his lord and masters
delight. There are no leaves on the trees
(only the ever faithful fir is green), so the
trusty servant hangs glittering ice-spangles
on the bare branches. Flowers there are
none to cast before his sovcrcign's feet on
his entry into those more southern lands,
and so lie traces beautiful frost flowers on
all the window pancs to gladden. the stern
old monarch's heart. And the sun rises
in the morning and gazes with wonder at
the result of Knecht Ruprecht's midnight
industry, and sinks to rest again after his
brief day without having robbed the
white bearded Winter King Of one of his
delicate frostfowers; and when all is
ready Knecht Ruprecht is sent forth to
hear news of the good children; the Win
ter King and Frau HOLE begin to adorn
the tir-trces with march, pane and gilded
nuts, apples, ounces, and thousand
tempting sweet-meats. Knccht Ruprecht
comes back with his tidings, and the
tapers will soon be lighted. For the
naughty children Frau HOLE has been
pointing a moral with birch-rods cut in
the forest, and adjoining tale with the
bright-colored ribbons that bind those in
struments of judicious torture.-London
