Farm Paragraphs.

Prof. Storer Of Harvard university esti-
mates the agricultural value of wood
ashes at forty cents per bushel and there
is little doubt that at even this price they
are the cheapest fertilizer that can be
produced in the market. Large quanti-
ties of leached ashes have been purchased
in Maine at fifteen cents per bushel, trans
ported to Massachusetts, and considered
cheap at that price.
A moderate quantity OF cayenne pepper,
mustard or ginger can, with great benefit,
be added to the food of fowls, to increase
their vigor and to stimulate egg produc-
ton. This diet. although apparently ar.
tificial, is really natural for wild birds o1
the gallinacean family have access to very
many highly spiced berries ard buds-ar-
ticles that give the "game flavor" to theil
| flesh. Although there is more OF less ol
an aromatic principle in wheat, Indiar
corn and other grains consumed by the
domestic fowl yet the quantity is not suf-
fcient to supply the place of the stronger
spices, a taste for which is inherited by
the fowl

tie like threshing machine. Washers OF
sole-leather on the spndles of axletrees
will stop the clatter caused by too much

still more; and little coal oil on the fifth

wagon is turned. Where nuts work loose

Hash.

That's right, laugh. Every one does
when hash is mentioned, Yet every one
likes it when properly prepared and duly
certified to-established is it is by pledges
OF puDllc conlluence-uLu nettIy uyGIy-
body eats it, Hash is q vastly abused dish,
1t is made the scapegoat tor about all the
gastronomic sins in the kitchen calender,
not to say colander.
There are not many OF US who boarded
at home, when home meant a superintend-
ing mother in the kitchen as well AS else
where, but can recall the delight we felt
in those days of innocence and sinless
stomach, when we discovered there was
hash tor breakfast Was there anything
superior to that rare combination of mine
ed corn-becf and potatoes as it came
steamng from the kitchen; and have your
noses ever enjoyed IL more savory treat
than that which cmanated from the ma
ternal hash ? What is home without a
mother? And what is q mother unless she
can make good hash ?
But The average boarding house hash is
a different affair 1t is often either not
half chopped or else tbs chopped 50 much
that it is mashed into sticky ugly looking
compound that nobody could consider pal
atable. Hash, like sausage, needs to be
cut, not ground, and to be good, it should
be prepared over night and stand with
the seasoning in it, and that seasoning is
the rich point; it must not be so hot as to
burn the palate, bnt it must have a good
sharp taste of pepper and be as salt as
possible not to taste salty. Ii any Other
seasoning is added we prefer a little sage
1t should be put on to cook in Il hot YES
sci, in which a little butter OF drippings
has been melted, covered closely, stirred
often, and only enough water added tC
steam it thoroughly, not enough to make
it sOupN.

SWEET Corn Mr j. NJ IIayner, of
Lebanon, southern Ohio, raises over 800
acres of sweet corn annually, and disposes
Of his immense crop by first drying and
packing it in barrels. The process is very
simple. The fresh ears are steamed for
five minutes, to 'set the milk" the grain
is then rapidly removed from the cob with
cutters having concave faces. 1t is then
spread on perforated zinc tables, and heat
applied for four OF five hours from long
furnaces, the grain being constantly stirred
during the process Of drying. 1t is then
packed in barrels of three bushels each for
shipment. Great care is required to have
the corn just at the right age, and have it
dried just enough to keep well. -Four
bushels of fresh corn on the cob make one
bushel dried, the wholesale price of which
is $50 to 50 per barrel. The drying
house employs fifty persons. At fifty bush
els Of corn to the acre, 800 acres would
yield $4,000 bushels, which. when dried,
make G.250 bushels, or 20S3 barrels, which
at $50 per barrel, amounts to the hand
some sum oil $41, $50.

If your chicks droop and you are at a
loss for cause, look for vermin it is a
bad sign to see chicks stand around cheap,
cheap, cheap, cheaping! with dropping
wings, look for lice or gapes. Provide
your setting hens with plenty of ashes to
dust in, and the chicks with the same
when hatched and you will not be both
cred much with vermin. [Journal and

health of my soul, my belief that | had
slain him hated SO unchristianlike This
belief made humility easy to me, and even
charity not difficult. What engine Of
wholesome modification would be left me
now were l to go a-prating that | slew
not the brother | hated Nay, | will
never tell the truth, but carry my preci-
Gus burden Of humility all my days"
'Oh saint upon earth !" cried the Knight
"Outlive me and then tell the truth
The monk replied not, but pondered
these words.
And it fell out 50 that the Knight died
three years after, and the prior closed his
eyes and said masses for his soul and q
good while afterwards he did, for the hon
or OF the convent, reveal his true story to
young monks, but bound them by solemn
vow not to spread it during his life AT
ter his death the truth got abroad, and
amongst churchmen the prior was much
revered, for that he had cured himself of
an uncharitable neart and had enforced
on himself the penalty of unjust shame 50

A CURIOSITY.
Tho VeneIs .Fly Trap,

Tho VenelS Fty Trap,
Dionea Muscipula, or Venus'fy trap, is the
name of an inseetiverous plant inhabiting the
Savannas in the neighborhood of Wilmington
North Carolina. The only specie of this
plant, so far as known, ever seen in this To-
cality, is now in the possession Of DR..
Samuel W. Murphy, of Rugby Academy.
The DR.. has two small plants recently sent
to him by friend in the South, and as they
are something of curiosity, we annex q
short description, taken from the Journal of
the Boston Society of Natural History, by
DR.. M. A. Curtis
The DR.. says: "The trap at the apex on
the leaf is fringed with stout bristles on
each margin, and may be aptly compared to
the upper eyelids, Joined at the their bases.
