HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
shrinkape Of Corn.

Diverse opinions are often expressed
la relation to the loss in bulk and weight
of corn, from husking time till the
following summer or autumn. Several
years ago, we performed series of ex-
perlments bearing on this subject, and
reached several conclusions, which
farmers generally should understand.
We found the results to vary with the
dryness or dampness of the autumn,
and the degree of ripeness in the corn at
the time of husking. The condition of
the corn will vary considerably in differ
ent parts of the field, or in different ears
in the same hill. tits essential, then,
that fair average be taken. The fol-
lowing are some of the results
Corn in the ear, after an unusually
damp season, was weighed the first of
January, and by the following October
had lost one-fifth part of its bulk:
The weight of corn in the ear, of the
northern eightrowed varied, all the
way from So to rs pounds, to yield a
shelled bushel of so pounds. Ears with
small cobs, well dried, afforded scarcely
pounds of cobs to the bushel. With
larger cobs, freshly husked, they may
weigh IL or 10 pounds. A moist cob is
much heavier than dry one. Farmers
who sell corn in the ear should know
the amount of loss from drying. AS a
general rule, dollar per bushel for corn
in the ear in summer is no better than
seventy-five cents at husking time.
Sold in the ear, it should always be
weighed, not measured. We found that
a full, compact, heaped halfbushel, of
moderate seized S-rowed ears, contained
56 ears, weighing "a pounds. Thrown
in loosely, and heaped, there were only
"A ears, weighing 10 pounds.
Shelled grain shrinks in bulk and
loses in weight by long drying In one
case it lost one-twentieth of its bulk and
one-eighth of its weight in three weeks
in room heated with stove. After
some months, it shrank in bulk from its
original condition as six is to seven, and
lost in weight SO as to be as five is to six.
Other experiments in cold rooms nearly
correspond with this in results. 1t
would therefore be better to sell sheled
corn early in winter at eighty cents
than the following summer at a dollar.
With gourd-seed or dent corn the results
may be different, and they always vary
some with seasons. Wheat loses much
less by drying than corn.-Country

How the French Economize.

The French butcher separates the
bones from the steaks, and places them
where they will do the most good. The
housewife orders just enough for each
person and no more, even to the coffee.
If a chance visitor drops in somebody
quietly retires and the extra cup is
provided, but nothing extra by careless
ness of intention, when the little range
is extinguished, and awaits for another
time. No roaring cook stoves and red
hot covers all day long for no purpose
but waste. The egg laid to-day costs
little more than one laid last week.
Values are nicely estimated and the
smallest surplus is carefully saved. A
thousand little economies are practic-
ed, and 1t is respectable to practice them.
Cooking is an economical as we'll as
sanitary and gustatory science. A French
cook will make franc go as far as our
housewives will make three, and how
much further than the American Bridget
nobody knows-we should probably be
greatly astonished, could the computa-
tion be made, how much of the financial,
recuperative powers of France is owing
to her soups and cheap food; better
living, after all, than the heavy bread
and the greasy failures of our culinary
ignorance.--Home and Farm

Re-knItting Old Yarn.

A lady writes the Ohio Farmer that
raveled yarn can be re-knit to good adj
vantage if when re-knitting there is
added thread of spool cotton, thread to
be of similar color to the yarn. Yarn
thus knit will last nearly If not quite as
well as If new, and knit without the
thread of cotton. When knitting the
heels or toes to stockings it is advisable
to knit in the thread of cotton, if not
used for other parts; heels and toes thus
knit will wear twice or three times as
long as those knitted without the thread.
Germantown yarn when thus knitted
will be made durable and lasting, even IL
knit into mittens, when If such yarn
should be used without the thread it
would hardly pay for the time consumed
in its manufacture. Such yarn is meant
for scarfs, nubias, or garments made for
ornament rather than wear and tear
yeti used with the thread it can be
made very serviceable, even when much
worn. Raveled yarn of fancy colors
can also be used for lamp mats. Select
several strands of harmonizing colors
gather in loops and fasten to circular
piece OF covered cardboard.
