Slide raires may be improved, as is
found by constructing them with two
faces, placed at right angle the one to
the other, the port face Of the cylinder,
to which the valve is adapted, being
made of an angular recessed shape 10
correspond Herewith. The joint with
the two combined faces containing the
steam ports is of the same superficial
area as the valve ordinarily used. The
orifice for the reception OF the valve
rod is placed at or near the centre of
the triangle formed by the end of &c
valve, this point being practically the
centre of adhesion; hence the cause
which produces the fitting or rolling
above referred to is removed, and the
valve retains indefinitely steam-tight
force. This method of construction, il
is said, does away with the fitting or
rolling motion OF ordinary slide va ve',
which wears the face to convex form,
causing a wasteful escape of steam.

To Boil SWEET CoRN.-Choose full
grown corn, and let the rows be even

and tender the milk will escape in a

toes, is the best steamed. If no steamer
is at hand, place the corn in just
enough water to cover it, and boil fif-
teen or twenty minutes, according to
the size of the kernel. If boiled too
long it becomes hard. Send it to the
table wrapped in a napkin or towel
placed on a meat dish. Serve hot.

CUTTING CoRN.-When the corn
grains are glazed, the crop may be cut.
Delay after that only hardens the fod-
der and deteriorates it. Topping the
corn, that is, cutting Off the stalks
above the ears and curing these, which
are the best part of the fodder, is a
good practice where the closest econ
0my is not necessary. Sometimes labor
costs more than the product of the Ia
Dor; then it is best to let the work go
undone. Yet, as a rule, economy in
the smallest things on farm is profit
able.

FARM AND GARDEN.

TIE HARRow.-We are inclined to
attach far greater Importance to the
harrow and its particular Office in farm
practice, than is usually given 1t. No
farmer should regard his set Of impie-
ments as at all approaching complete
ness, unless he has at least three, four
would be better, harrows, cultivators.
horse hoes, or similar implements of
securing fine tillage; ana no farmer
should be content with q single or even
with two harrowings previous to put
ting seed of any kind into the ground.
Time spent in narrowing is well en-
ployed, as it is impossible that soil can
be too finely or well prepared as seed
bed. As to the implements themselves
it is curious to observe the improve
ments, notifications and adaptations to
uses which the harrow has undergone
from the days of the old A shaped and
square harrow of twenty years ago, to
the pulverizing coulter and smoothing
harrows of the present. The only OBJ
lection We have to them is that which
obtains in reference to many classes OF
our farm implements; that In many in
stances they have been multiplied be-
yond the actual necessities of the case,
so that frequently farmers have really
more implements of one kind than they
actually need, or are unnecessarily Y
bewildered in their choice when max
ing purchases. But il is as true now
as it was in the time of Lord Kames,
that no one harrow, whatever its con-
struction may be, can be suitable for
every sort of soil, or adapted for fitting
81. g. . ffDr ~
kind of crop. There must be different
imple nents of after culture, 1--WE mean
those which follow the plough y for the
various crops and uses, and for this
reason q number of harrows are needed
on every farm OF considerable size.
There must be heavy harrOws for
breaking and pulverizing; medium
ones for preparation OF the soil, for
covering manure and grass seed, and
lighter harrows for finishing of the
surface, or as in case of some, tor ac-
tually wedding the crop. This last
operation was formerly performed with
the primitive "bush harrow" made in
half an hour from head piece and a
half dozen small white birch brushes
"a very common kind of smoothing mar
row years ago, but now almost entirely
superseded by some form of levelliDg,
smoothing or wedding harrow. This
last implement seems to be one oi
far greater usefulness than would al
first appear. For wedding growing
corn, or dressing fallow, there is nc
implement so well fitted for the worl
a. this; and so far as We can learn from
those who have used it, every year con-
firms the good opinion expressed In il:
behalf when first introduced.
