Measuring Corn.

This is a question which comes around
at least annually. There is q matsns
difference in the quality Of corn, butfb|
easy to arrive at good average forihs|
usual Iowa corn. A correspondent
asks
"Wil you please give the rule for 1uinW|
the number of bushels of corn In q crib Or
ton in his lightning Calculator says xhfal
corn is in the ear, to divide by 2,SlS-wha d
mansions are in cubic inches, but here WI
say you must divide by 500. Which 3 cor
rect?" 80
Neither of the number Of inches \
correct. Corn just shoveled loosdI|
into a wagon box or into crib, in The
ear, will require two and half cube
feet, or 1920. inches, for busheld
shelled corn. But when the corn ha
settled down in the wagon by hauling
over rough roads, or settled by tmsa
the crib, two and third cubic feet ls
4,032 inches) will make bushel. IH
is the rule upon which we have bo'h
bought and sold many thousands y
bushels. Il
Corn usually overruns when q lsgd|

is shelled. The legal bushel OF shellfa
corn is IS pounds, but legal bushei q

as 60 pounds. -Iowa State Register:

The Dogs Who Kept Calendars.

Two facts respecting pair of dogs of
the Skye terrier breed in this neiohbor-
hood have often led me to ask myself.
Do dogs know the day of the week? A
terrier of our household is greatly at
tached to young man who visits us
regularly every Saturday to pass the
Sunday with his father Every Satur-
day evening this dog presents himself at
the dining-room door to await the adj
vent of his friend. If his friend is not
found to have come on Saturday even
ing, as is sometimes the case, and the
dog is obliged to retire to his quarters
without seeing him, he invariably places
himself at the door of his bedroom on
Sunday morning and remains till he
comes out for breakfast, when he mani
tests the most intense joy. This opera
ton has been repeated SO many times,
without any mistake as to the day al
ways on Saturday and on no other day
that we feel certain that the dog knows
when it is Saturday; but by what process,
whether of reason or instinct, no one
can say.
The other fact is similar and equally
curious. A medical friend and neiehbor
has very intelligent Skye terrier that
on nearly every week day is allowed to
take his morning drive in the carriage
with the family, and manifests great ioy
at the prospect Of the jaunt, and great
disappointment and sorrow if, as is
sometimes the case, he is obliged to re-
main at home. On Sunday mornings.
when the family prepare for church, he
does not expect togo, is very quiet, and
seems not to be disappointed, though
nothing is ever said or done to intimate
that he has no occasion to attend church.
BY what process of reason or instinct, I
repeat, does this dog know when Sun
day comes? Does the " sound of the
church-going belr' intimate that it is
not call to him?-Cor. N. Y. Eveasiao

The Teeth as Related to Health.

Dentistry is one of the compensatiens
OF modern civilization or of modern
artltlcialties. In a state CT nature no
one part OF the organism is more reli-
able and enduring than the teeth. The
savage is about as likely to grow old in
full possession of the natural set as is a
lion. The wonderful provision by
which two and occasionally three series
OF sets has been provided looks verv
much as if the Maker intended that
teeth should be co-existent with the
being. Only three or four months later
than the tooth-pulp of the first set can
be found the germs of the secondary
teeth, and the order of appearance is
well adapted to the growth of the jaw.
We were not long since looking at the
remaining teeth Of woman one hun
dred and one years old. She had not
been fed on sugar-candy between meals
in her early life. If we now look at
the teeth of different races, or of those
in different sociA positions, it is not
difficult to recognize that the early loss
OF teeth has relation to habits of life
and condition of constitution. The me-
gro, brought up on plain food, can still
show his ivory. The wage classes, who
live on natural foods and do not indulge
in such as, if taken alone, are apt to
stick and sour, do not, as a rule, suffer
from early loss.
Sometimes there is an inheritance
which shows itself in teeth that more
easily crumble; but much of this ten
dency can be arrested by early care. A
mouth OF decaying teeth may easily be-
come the cause of ill-health. We have
seen cases in which the removal of two
or three that were lodging food or serv-
ing as local irritants has been followed
not only by improved health, but i'm
proved digestion. .f. ea
The first question that arises is: What
care shall be taken of the temporary
teeth? They have much more animal
matter and are softer than the per-
manent teeth; but it is very desirable
that they remain in good condition. as
they are intended to do, until the sec
ond set is ready to appear. So impor-
tant Is their presence, even as pre-
serving the shape and favorine the
proper growth of the jaw, that den
lists object to their removal, except for
urgent cause. There is the odd fact
with regard to the temporary molars
that the bicuspids belonging to the Sec
ond set are SO located between the roots
OF the former as to be injured or
changed in position sometimes bv the
extraction of the molars. The first set
should be well cared for by washing or
rlnsing OF the mouth after food, by the
avoidance OF sweets between meals, or
by the use of soft brush for cleans
ing. For all this period the food should
be OF that character which contributes
bone and mineral, as well as fibrine or
gelatinous substance. Oatmeal and
hominy follow well after the depend
ence IS not wholly upon milk. We

Agricultural Experimenting.

We do not know of anything which
would be more interesting on farm
than small experimental ground. New
plants and seeds come into notice every
year, but only few know which are the
most valuable, and the great public de-
ponds on the newspaper editor, some
interested correspondent or the reports
OF some agricultural society to tell him
all about them. Finally, on the strength
of what he reads, he invests considera-
bic money in some article or another,
plants considerable ground with it and
finds out only when too late that it is
not at all suited to his climate or soil.
1t oftentimes happens that an article
really good in majority of cases is of
very little value in some particular spot.
This is just the sort of knowledge no
paper or society can teach, but which a
small experimental garden would read
lily supply. AT market, or when visit
ing friends, one often has few seeds or
roots given him which may be very use
full to him, but which are lost chiefly be-
cause there is no spot assigned for the
testing of these things. There is, in
deed, disposition in many cases to re-
gard these presents of new things as
bores, and they are often accepted be-
cause 1t is not thought courteous to
wound friends feelings by refusing
what he regards as somewhat of a treas
ure: But besides the pecuniary value
which often results from trying expert
ments, there is a great amount of pleas
ure from watching things grow that we
never saw before; and we are well as
sured that no one who established a
small experimental ground on his farm
could ever after be without it.-Ger-
