The Use of Corn.

A Virginian writes in praise of corn,
not only as the best food for laboring
men, but for domestic animals of all
kinds. He states that the usual rations
for negro laborer, for week, is one
and half pecks of corn, three pounds
of bacon, and little molasses. They
thrive on it, and mules, as rule, have
only corn for grain, but they live longer
and do more work than Northern horses
that feed on oats. In this part of the
country dogs ars fed almost exclusively
on cornmeal, and they not unfrequently
eat corn in the ear, while wandering
ours devour it on the stalk Even cats
eat cornmeal stirred up with water. as
is the case of chicken feed

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
To Wash Callcoes.

Calicoes, muslins, French lawn and
cambrics are a source of perplexity and
anxiety to many housekeepers. We
have often heard the remark that
such dresses, especially calicoes-which
are much the cheapest-are only fit to
wear while they can be kept decently
clean without washing. That is too true,
If they are washed as most are, without
special oversight and direction from the
mistress. Very few servants, If not
emphatically cautioned, understand the
proper mode of doing up such articles.
If left soaking in suds, or washed in
suds which was used to wash the white
clothes; if starched stiff and with COM
mon starch, or in flour starch If hung
in the sun to dry, and ironed on the
right side with a very hot iron, it is not
strange they are not thought suitable
for use after once having been washed
and ironed. But If carefully treated in
the laundry, dresses of either of these
materials should continue to look fresh
and new till thoroughly worn out.
Black or white cotton or linen dresses
are thought very difficult to cleanse and
do up because the color "runs" and
settles in the white, and the same COM
plant is made of stone, slate, brown or
maroon colors. But by few precau-
tions and a little extra care in the first
washing there need be no further trouble
with any of these colors.
Before washing black and white cot
ton or linen dresses, or any of these
dark colors, first dip them in salt and
water, and hang in shady place to dry.
Two coffee cups of salt to eight or ten
quarts of cold water is the proper pro-
portion. When dry put them into light
suds, not very hot, and wash as usual.
A little salt in the rinsing water is de-
sirable. After washing once in this
way they can ever after be washed
without these precautions. No colored
goods should be allowed TO soak Mt all,
either in suds or rinsing water. Let
this work be done as speedily, with as
little delay when first begun, rs is
consistent with being well done.
An easy way-and we have tried it
successful in washing the fine colored
Isle and cotton hosiery of dark and
medium colors now so much used-is to
put black pepper into the suds when hot,
let it stand till the water is cool enough
to wash colored goods, and then put
them in and wash as usual; rinse in one
spoonful and half of pepper to pailful
of water. The pepper does not affect
the suds at all, but sets the color, and
we are told that it is equally effective
with all cotton or linen fabrics, light or
dark. We have tried only on hosiery,
and not on any very light colors.-

Now when firm goes under In the IRON
tradelit is looked upon rs a dropping
out of oyercrowded ranks, leaving more
room for the rest.
The steel works control the largest
capital; next the iron rolling mills repre-
sent the most money, apd then come
the pig iron interests. Soft steel Is
rapidly taking the place OF iron. The
rolling mills are taking the blooms and
rail ends from the bessemer steel works
and putting them in the market III COM
petition with rolled iron at very cheap
but remunerative prices. Railroad
building has been better this year than
last. Over two hundred miles more oil
rails have been laid than during 1877,
and there has been an increased demand
for r,ils and material. The railroad
companies are generally doing better
than last year, and have taken adrant-
age of the low prices of labor and mater
ial. &C.. s..
For the ensuing year the Bessemer
steel works have the best prospects.
The cast or crucible steel works have
also a bright outlook. They were
crowded with orders all summer Mt low
but paying prices. There have been
very Jew failures in the steel business.
Two or three occurred, but they were
due to acknowledgement, and the bust
uess generally is on sound basis. For
bar iron and structural iron the promise
is not good. The bar iron men aay they
have made no money this year. The
pig iron business is the worst of,
although there are exceptions even to
the depression in this branch.
