Seed Corn.

We are now prepared to assert that
there was a loss in Iowa the past year.
by defective seed corn, of at least 40
100000 bushels. The loss was In total
failures in ONE cases-in poor stand,
but more from late corn by replanting.
The terrible effects of the latter can on
ly be estimated by going through the
country and seeing the vast cribs of
corn now rOtting.
In many localities cattle feeders have
been buying damaged and soft corn at
81 per wagOn-load since Christmas.
And yet, at this rate, the damaged corn
has not been half used for any purpose,
and is now rapidly sinking to the man
ure pile. And with this serious lesson
fresh in the minds of all, not more than
half of those who imagine yainly that
they are farmers have the necessary
seed corn for the approaching planting.
Many will yet persist in selecting their
seed from the corr when gathering in
the fall. This past fall corn was uni
vcrsally damp. owing to the fall rains,
and did not dry out sufficiently so that
it could preserve it's vitality in the zero
weather OF November. If the cob be
soft and wet when such freezes come,
no farmer or man who would like to be
classed with farmers should rely on it
for seed. Many of our friends and ac-
quaintances have already tested their
seed and find it useless. Shall we have
another partial failure by neglect to
procure seed? If seed has to be
brought from a distance, a warmer eli
mate is not the best location to obtain
it. Southern corr will not mature with
us.-Stote Re0ister.

How to Cook Oatmeal.
Condensed from Laws of Life

Condensed from Laws OF Life.
Oatmeal is seldom cooked sufficiently
For the coarser oatmeals which are by
far the best for mush, measure five or
six parts water preferably soft)-yes,
measure it, and then you will have it
alike every time and not be at the trou-
bic Of watching to see if it is the right
consistency and adding more meal. AS
soon as the water boils pour in one part
meal. These coarse meals do not re-
quire stirring up. Let it boil up smart
ly until it sets, or is evenly diffused
through the water, her set it back
where it will not boil so fast, and after
half an hour place it where it will bare
ly simmer. Let it cook an hour at least,
and two hours if possible. If the time
is limited, put it asoak before hand, and
stir it when heating it up. After that
often complained of is due to the con-
slant stirring which some cooks prac-
tice. The surest way to avoid scorching
is to cook it in a double kettle, or in a
tin dish set into a kettle of boiling wa
ter; then all the attention it requires is
to keep water in the kettle beneath and
to see that it boils. Disturb as little as
possible when dishing, and allow it to
stand a few minutes before serving.
With the Scotch and other fine oatmeals
the process is much the same, only they
require much stirring while setting, and
the proportion of meal is greater after
that. It is particularly important not to
stir them until served. The time re-
quired to cook them is less, but an hour
is none too much to get the best results
from the Scotch, or Canadian as it is
sometimes called. But no amount of
cooking will make them equal to the
coarser kinds in delicacy OF flavor. A
~coffee-cup of oatmeal will suffice for
Eve or six persons as the main dish for
breakfast.

While in Northern Iowa, recently, a
case came to u notice of a new use of
straw, which applied here may be of
vast service to wheat growers. An
intelligent farmer there tried the ex-
pertinent of spreading a light covering
of it we his wheat land after the grain
was sown, thinking that tho growing
wheat would readily find its way through,
and that during the drought of July and
August, which almost always occurs, it
would act as a mulch and be beneficial to
his crop. In this he was not mistaken,
for the average on that ten acres was
forty bushels to the acre, while on the
land adjoining, with the same seed sown
and as carefully put in, the yield was
but twenty-five bushels to the acre.
The increase was thus nearly double,
while the straw was in excellent condi-
ton to turn under this fall, and a double
benefit consequently secured. The
only objection we see to the plan s,that
the winds of spring might blow the
straw into heaps and otherwise disar-
range it, but this might be remedied by
applying it after the wheat had come
up, \ temporary check would be
doubtless given to the stalk, but it
would soon come through and grow the
more vigorously afterward.- Pioneer
Press.

George Washington Peck, the amusin'
young man Of LaCross, "Cheesed' the
late Wisconsin dairy convention in the
following manne Fellow-cheesemong-
ers, you are doing yourselves great in
justice that you do not petition Con-
gress to pass a bill to remonetize cheese.
There is more cheese raised in this
country than there is silver, and it is
more valuable. Suppose you had not
eaten a mouthful in thirty days, and
you should have placed on the table be-
fore you $40 stamped out of silver bull
lion on mi plate and SO stamped out of
cheese bullion on another plate, which
would you take first? Though the face
value Of the nine cheese dollars would
be ten per cent. below the face value Of
the ten silver dollars, you would take
the chance of the cheese. You could
use it to better advantage in your bust
ness. Hence | say cheese is more val
liable than silver, and 1t should be made
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
vate, except pew rent. | may be in ad-
vance OF other eminent fnanciers. who
have studied the currency question, but
l. want to see the time come, and [ trust
the day is not far distant when 412l
grains Of cheese shall be equal to 81 in
Goldfish, and when the merry jingle of
slices of cheese shall be heard in every
pocket. Then every cheese factory can
make its own coin, money will be plen-
ty, everybody will be happy, and there
never will be war any more. 1t may be
asked how this currency can be redeem
ed? l would have an incontrovertible
bond made of Limburger cheese, which
is stronger and more durable. When
this is done you can tell the rich man
from the poor man by the smell of his
money. Nowadays many Of us do not
even get the smell of money, but in the
good days which are coming the gentle
zephyr will watt t. us the delicate VIC
let and the able-bodied Limburger, and
we shall know that money IS plenty.

Dust Bath.

\ dust-bath is quite as grateful to
fowls as another kind of bath is to the
higher race of hineds. Make a box
three feet square at least, and about six
inches deep, and set it in a sunny cor
ner Of the fowl house. Fill it with dust
from the road, or as that is rather mac
cessible at this season of the year, with
clay or dirt dried before the stoye and
then pounded fine, Take care not to
introduce gravel or sharp bits of stone.
as they will injure the fowls when in
the violent motion of busting.
\ very good substitute for dust may
he found in fine coal ashes, which can
be used to good advantage either alone
or mixed with carbolated powder, which
by the way, is always beneficial used
with either. Avoid wood-ashos, as the
least moisture will produce I've, and the
fowls feet, wings, and heads will be eat
en- raw by it, even if death does not fol
low.

Raised Notes.

We have frequently called the atten-
ton of our readers to the inconsistency.
injustice, and imminent danger to all
property, of the rulings of our courts
on the subject of raised notes, and sold
to legally innocent parties. And we see
no move made to correct this evil. A
man who gives his note for $40 can cas-
lily be defrauded of all his property at
any day or period of his life. If it be
legal and binding on the signer of the
note to raise it after it is signed from
$40 to $40, it would be equally as bind
ing if it was raised to $4,000. Conse-
quently no man is safe in giving his note
for anything, and until the Legislature
provides a law against this unjust and
dangerous ruling of the courts, we adj
wise no man to give his note. There can
be no other act in all departments of
business so dangerous or fraught with so
much dread to the man who estimates
the earnings of a lifetime. To our lin
tied notions we have never heard of any
rulings as Ubiquitous from the days of
Lord Bacon to that of Judge Lawrence,
OF Illinois, To set this in strong con-
tIast, we copy Tue from Inc
legal department of the Western Farm
.Ionrnal:
The Iowa Supreme Court has made
two decisions recently in regard to
promissory notes which look rather in
consistent with each other. If a mar
gives his note for ten dollar and anoth.
er signs it as surety" and the wore
surety" is erased and the note sold t.
a bank. the erasure Of the word is sucl
an alteration as to release the signel
from liability, Tiie other decision il
that if a man gives his note for ten dol
lars, and it is raised or altered to one
hundred and ten, and sold to a banker
the maker must pay it, and he cannor
set up the fraudulent alteration a,
against a third party who is an %innocen
purchaser. How2"

Lice on Cattle.

The Courier Journal gives the fol-
lowing safe and sure remedy:
Put 1 lbs of quassia chips into three
gallons of water and boil for an hour
and a half; strain, and when cool apply
the decoction freely with a sponge to
all parts of the body, neck and head.
One application is generally enough.
In case it should not be. make a second
one four or five days after. This is a
very satisfactory remedy, as it destroys
the parasites at once, and from it's in
tense bitterness a horse will not taste it
more than once, and is far better than
either tobacco or mercurial prepare
tons, their being no danger from its alb
sorption,
