CoRN.-As soon as the grain is glazed,
corn shonld be cut, if the stalks are TO
be saved. Frost greatly Injuries the fod-
der, and reduces its feeding value. Be
fore cutting, the seed for next year
should be selected, taking ears from
stalks that have borne two or more good
ones. The tops of the selected stalks
may be broken down, TO mark them,
and when the crop is cut, left standing
until the ears are perfectly ripe, then
they should be gathered and stored in a
dry, cool place. Such selections of seed
will tell we'll in the next crop.

COOKING POTAToEs.-To most Of US
the food we eat is valuable because we
like 1t, and not so much because we
consider ourselves q machine on which
profit and loss Is TO be nicely calculated
In regard 70 what we eat. But, as per-
haps some of our readers are chemically
or financially disposed, and have a
desire TO know TO a penny what their
bodies cost, and to a grain the material
Of which it is made, we give the follow
ing about cooking potatoes from an
English agricultural magazine:
As food the potato is valuable on ac-
count of the potash and phOsphoric acid
it contains, and it is of the first import
ance that the potash salts should not be
lost in the process of cooking, for it Is
to these salts potatoes owe their anti
scorbutic properties. Potatoes steamed
with their skins on lose very little
potash and scarcely any phosphoric
acid; while Ii steamed after peeling,
they lose and 5 per cent. respectively.
Similarly, potatoes, when boiled with
their skins on, lose more than per
cent. of their phosphoric acid; but if
they are boiled after peeling, they lose
as much as 80 per cent. of potash and
% per cent. of phosphoric acid. Hence,
If potatoes must be peeled, they should
be steamed, not boiled; and, if they
must be boiled, they should at least re-
tain their jackets during the operation
the best way of all, from a scientific
point of view, being to steam them
before peeling, or to bake them in their
skins.

The Holland Government have used
the metric system in weights since 1917,
but by law compelled all scales to be
adjusted TO a graduation of their own.
This caused more or less trouble
among their merchants and recently a
Board of Engineers was appointed to
recommend some improvement. As the
result of their observations. the Govern
ment has just modified the law, and
adopted the plans of Fairbanks q Co.,
naming that make of scales the new
standard.

Astronomers are generally agreed that
the moon is not a perfec. sphere, but is
slightly flattened at the poles, as our
earth is, and is also somewhat elongat-
ed equatorially in the direction of the
earth. Her sphere is therefore clip
soidal rather than spheroical, having
three unequal axes-the shortest being
from pole to pole, and the longest the
equatorial one pointing towards the
earth the other equatorial diameter, at
right angles to the latter, being of in
termediate length. The difference in
length is, however, very slight. PeO-
pie sometimes imagine that the moon is
distinctly egg-shaped, and fancy that
they can see this in stereographic pict-
ures, but they are the victims OF optical
illusion.

The color impaired to wine by means
of alIzarin, magenta, madder, maliOws,
bilberries, carrots, peach-wOOd, cOchi-
neal, or extract of indigo, Bachmeyer
finds can be destroyed by the action of
nitric acid. He adds about five C. C. OF
the acid of the specific gravity OF Ia to
the same quantity of the wine supposed
to be doctOred. If the color of the wine
is natural it will resist the acid for days.
but if it is artificial it will disappear
within an hour and sometimes in a few
minutes. Regarding the chemical ac
ton of wine upon metals with which il
may come in contact, Mangien says that
il the quantity of cast-irOn dissolvable
in wine be equal to- 100, in the same
time there will be 97.S7 of wrought iron
dissolved, 92 07 of zine, GIG of lead, o.
80 of timed iron, 1.59 of tin, 0 ~ OF
bronze, Q. .46 OF copper, and % OF brass.
The practical lesson of these figures is
obvious.

NANTUCKET CRowDER.-Take a fresh
cod, haddock, blue fish, or any other
good, firm fish, weighing four or five
pounds, two small sized onions, and
two or three very thin slices of salt
pork. Cut the pork into small strips,
leaving out the rind, and fry it slowly
to a crisp, i'm the bottom of the kettle,
taking great care not to let it burn.
After the pork is fried, add the onions,
sliced thin, and let them cook about
five minutes. Then turn out the fat,
onions. and pork, upon a plate, and put
layer of fish on the bottom of the
kettle; sprinkle salt and pepper over it,
and add little of the pork and onions,
filling up the kettle in this manner.
Turn in two quarts of hot water, and
lay Boston crackers or hard tack over
the top. Cover the whole, and let Ii
boil fifteen minutes. Add half a pint
of milk, and cook 1t ten minutes longer.
Serve in a tureen as soup. A few oysters
added three minutes before the chowder
is dished will be an improvement TO it.

CLAY, SAND, &c.-In drying, under
the influence OF the sun, soils shrink
and thus diminish in bulk, in proper
ton to the quantity of clay or of peaty
matter they contain. sand scarcely
diminishes at all In bulk by drying, but
peat shrinks one fifth in bulk, and
strong agricultural clay nearly as much.
The roots are thus compressed, and the
air excluded from them, especially in
the hardened clays, in very dry wealth
er, and the plant is thereby placed in a
condition unfavorable to its growth.
Hence the value of proper admixtures
of sand and clay, since by the clay a
sufficient quantity of moisture is retain
ed and for a sufficient length of time,
while by the sand the roots are pre-
served from compression and tree ac-
cess of the air is permitted.

Rotation of the Sun.-The rotation of
the sun is now shown by means OF
spectrum analysis. A condenser is pre-
pared by cutting lens across the centre
and mounting the two halves side by
side, in such manner that the two i'm
ages formed by the sun are parallel to
the horizon. The light from the sun is
thrown into this condensing arrange
ment by means of a heliostat having a
mirror silvered on the surface; aud the
images are brought to a focus on the slit
of spectroscope, the point of contact
of the two suns occupying a position
hallway down the slit. To the spectro-
scopic apparatus is attached camera
and lens OF some six or seven feet focal
length, and the spectrum is thus form
ed on sensitive plate. When the north
and south points of the suns image are
tangental, evidently no displacement of
the two portions of the spectum formed
by the upper and lower halves of the
slit should be seen; whereas when the
equatorial portions of the images are in
contact, the displacement of the lines
should be that due to double the rota-
ton, since, as will be readily under
stood, the eastern limb should be reced-
ing and the western advancing. 1t Is
claimed that, SO far as this process has
been applied, the truth of the method
employed by Prof. Higgins, as applied
TO the stars, is fully borne out.

AGRICULTURE.

BoTs IN HoRsKs.-tsI have had many
horses and mules opened after death
most of whom were treated for bots,
and have yet to see the first case where
they had done injury. A majority of
the cases died from Inflammation of the
bowels, caused by drastic and ridiculous
remedies administered. i have known
the eItrails of chicken forced down
the throat Of a valuable animal as a
remedy. Upon another occasion pOr-
ton of the horses name and tail chopp-
ed I'D and administered in urine. This
to an animal owned by a professor of
chemistry, by the way" ga horse
has the collie, which is at once pro-
nounced a case of bots, and the remedies
used killed the horses. In one post NOR
tenn, which all the experts pronounced
bots before the death of the animal, we
found that the horse died from conges-
tion of the lungs. The bot is incapable
of penetrating the stomach, as much SO
as n fishing worm is of going through a
granite wall. But granting that he has
the faculty of SO doing, the stomach
being punctured, the case would be
hopeless in rine cases in ten. If the
bot had the power of eating hole in
the horses stomach, the animal would
have disappeared from this part of the
world long ago. But as prevention is
better than cure, any one may avoid the
bots by passing a CREASED rag over the
eggs of the bot fly, which she attaches
to the hair of the legs and other parts Of
the body"
HINTS FOR THE IO-MOkR0w.-lt Is q
good idea TO keep memorandum of work
needed TO be done, and then there is
always reminder for the employment
of spare hours, and besides we can
readily direct which work is most pres
sing,. such plan merely necessitates
sheet of paper, or leaf of r blank
book, and the entering of every item of
work as il occurs TO US, thus: Front
fence mended. Grape vines pruned.
Outlet of drain deepened. Harness to
be oiled. Spoke loose in cart wheel.
Salt needed for cattle. Each evening
a glance at the list will be of great as
sistance in laying out work for
the next day, while it will also fill
all the spare time with useful work.
As fast as piece of work is accom-
plished draw line through the item.
1t is astonishing how such list will
grow, and and how it will formulate
our work so as to enable US TO system
stize and accomplish it. After the plan
is pursued for a certain time, the mind
becomes so trained that the necessity
for the plan diminishes.

SCIENTIFIC.

The amount consumed by different
countries of some one or other of certain
Industrial products has occasionally
been regarded as an indication of the
degree of civilization to which the va
rious nationalities have attained. If the
quantity of paper used to be taken as
determining the advancement of peO-
pie, citizens of this country stand high
indeed. From the catalogue of the Ger
man Paper Exhibition, which opened
last month at Berlin. il appears that for
each of the 80, ,000, 900 inhabitants of the
United States there are 30.S pounds re-
quired annually for each of the 43, ,OOO.-
900 of Germany, 1872 pounds; for each
of the 80 .000, 900 OF England, III pounds;
for each of the $1,000, 900 OF France,
1872 pounds; for each of the 81, 900, 900
of Austria Hungary. 5.5 pounds; for
each of the 7S, 600, 900 of Russia, 1.9S
pounds; for each of the 2s ,000, 900 of
Italy, 3.0S pounds; for each OF the g.
O0O, 900 of Scandinavia, IL pounds; tor
each of the $500, ,0C0 of Belgium, 1I.22
pounds; and for each of the 2 SOC, 900 OF
Switzerland, 1886 pounds. Other sta
tistics set forth that 800, COO 900 people
employ Chinese paper, 366, ,O00, 900 Eu-
ropean paper, and l30, ,00O, 900 Arabian

written upon by "a ,000, 600 of the human
family, 2S0, ,000, 600 do not write upon

ference to the merely ornamental.

TAXATION OF CHURCHES.
Lsan Francisco ChronitIe.l

A meeting Of the clergy of different
denominations is announced to be
held soon at San Jose to secure ex-
emption of the churches from taxation
by a clause to be inserted in the new
Constitution The thirteenth section
Of the Constitution provides that tax
alton shall be equal and uniform"
The Revenue Act Of 1857 exempted
church property and school lands, as
well as the lands of the United States.
from taxation. BY decision of the
Supreme Court (High VS.. Shoemake,
% California, page 263) this exemp-
ton was held not to be a violation of
the thirteenth section Of the Constitu-
ton, as claimed; bat this decision
was subsequently reversed, and since
then all church and school property.
other than that belonging to the pub
lie schools, has been obliged to bear
its equal share of taxation. This
seems to be just and right. Tie proI-
osition to so change the Constitution
that church property shall be special
ly exempt is not one that should meet
with favor, whoever may advocate it.
If it were proposed to pay the churches
a subsidy, varying according to the
value Of their buildings and grounds,
every one can see that it would be ut
terly out Of place for our Constitution
makers and Legislators to listen to it
for moment. But the proposed ex-
emption is the sclf-same thing in an
other form. The exemption from, or
remission Of, tax of $50 or $500,
which auy church may have paid IN
der the present ruling, is exactly
to a subsidy Of the same
amount paid to that church. The
Monitor devotes long article to the
advocacy OF the proposed change, and
asserts that it can see no reason why
church property should not be exempt
as much as United States, State. coun-
ty or city property. 1t argues that,
'As it would not be proper for people
70 tax themselves in their civil corpo.
rate capacity" so neither is it proper
FOR them to tax themselves In their re.
ligions corporate capacity" nor have
the people Of the State, as such. The
State has nothing whatever to do with
any religious organization or corpora
ton, except to afford it that equal
measure Of protection which is afford
ed to any other voluntary organiza-
tion- social, literary or scientific. 1t
is great mistake, as will be found
to suppose that the revision Of the
Constitution offers good opportuai-
ty for changing its attitude in this re-
gard and introducing new principle
n our organic law, which shall give
as, instead Of a purely secular gov
ernment, mixed affair Of Church and
State and quasi-established religion
Those who are moving SO gayly III
