CORN Co.'s. A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman recommends that where
corn is fed largely in the cob, the cobs be
raked together and converted into charcoal
He says: ut is our custom to rake the
cobs in neat winrOws about foot high, and
after the wind has swept through them
an hour or so set fire to them. When
charred, we rake them down and sprinkle
water on the mass, stir them again. and
sprinkle again to be sure they do not
go on burning and 90 to ashes. If now q
seasoning of salt be put over the pile, the
pigs will relish it."

ORCHIDS Or AIR PLANTS.-The manage
ment Of this family of plants has been much
simplifed of late years Once upon time
it was deemed necessary to keep them pretty
constantly in high temperature; better
knowledge Of the conditions under which
hey exist has naturally led to severe modi-
cations Of this treatment, and they have
been divided into what is technically termed
" c0ol-hOuse and hOt-h0use kinds. The
cool-house kinds can be well grown in ordi-
nary greenhouses, or even in parlor windows
where arrangements are made for isolating
the atmosphere from that of the dwelling
room, conditions which apply to the best
success of all plants when grown in parlo1s
Indeed, many OF these curious air plants are
much easier managed than heliotrOpes, fuch-
sias, and similar plants. Many of these air
plants are found in cool regions in Mexico
and IN other countries where thev grow AT
great elevations. They do not, therefore re-
quire great heat, and can only be successfully
grown and lowered in cool temperature.
Another drawback to their extended cul-

in cultivation. It's immense panicles of white
flowers renders it one Of the most conspicu-
Gus of objects during many weeks. Another
species, Hydraagca gacrcJ0lia, or oak-leaved

with five drops of McDougal's fluid carbolate
In each dose Carbolic acid, in small doses,
may be substituted for the carbolate, if not
accessible. The yards should be disinfected
with carbolic acid as a measure of prudence
and for the same reason it is better to sep
arate the sick from the well fowls, although
the disease is not proven contagious. The
suggestion OF administering to all the fowls

water, and the latter cool, is admirable

ture has been their costliness, but this no
longer applies to many of the most popular
kinds, although some rare sorts, which are
slow of propagation and difficult to procure,
command high prices. We hope to see the
culture of these curious plants become more
common and that they will take their place
among other greenhouse plants.
GUM ARABIC.-In the event of prOtracted
war III Egypt fears are entertained that the
supply Of gum. may be abridged, and the
article become very costly. Should this
happen, 1t may prove to be blessing in dis
guise, lnasmuch as it may have the result Of
directing more attention to our native pro-
ductions. The Mesquit tree of Texas, Pro
SopiS g5dndaloSa, produces a gum which IS
used as substitute for gum arabic and is
said by those who have used it to be equally
as good an adhesive as the foreign article.
Quite small industry has for several years
been made in collecting this gum, and if our
supply should be cut Off from foreign sources
the demand may be met with the home
grown product.

POULTRY CHOLERA.-It is a fact that
diseases of lower animals bear a certain re-
lation to those of man. The same or similar
causes will occasion like diseases in each
and like remedies will be equally efIectuaI
IN working a cure. 1t seems to Ii. that there
may be as many different circumstances
affecting an attack of cholera in fowls as in
man, and that much the same care should
be taken III preventing or curing it.
Chicken cholera is disease consisting of
diarrhGa attended with fever, and is fatal
in two-ffths of the cases, in from twelve to
thiTty-siX hours.
The droppings are greenish at first, then
becoming thin and whitiSh The face is
anxious" pinched, and drawn, and the
weakness extreme. Cramps occur. 1t is a
disease of hot weather, and, despite of asser
tions to the contrary, will occur in any flock,
however we'll cared for.
Treatment, if it is to be effective, is to he
begun at an early period. OF course, all
possible sanitary measures are to be taken
The remedies consist of local and general
stimulus, and laudanum, to soothe and to stop
the discharges. Wright recommends the fol-
lowing, to be given every three hours:
Rhubarb, 5 grains; cayenne pepper, 2 grains;
laudanum, 10 drops; administering midway
between every two doses teaspoonful of

FLOWING UNDER CoEN-G. w. Files. Of
Maine, has had very satisfactory results IN
the way of fertilizing poor soil by plowing
under sowed corn, and describes his method as
follows: First so over the corn with a
common roller, observing to roll the sam
way I am to plow. This puts the corn
down out of the way of the team and driver
and is much better than attaching chain
to the draw-iron of the plow with a weight
to drag in the furrow, as used to be my prac-
tice. After plowing, the next thing ot
course is narrowing, which had better b.
done with wheel-harrOw, as most any
other kind will tear up more or less of the
corn; then complete the seed-bed with

THE MEDICINAL VALUE OF VEGETA-
BLEs.-Asparagus is q strong diuretic, and
forms part Of the cure for rheumatic pa
tients at such health resorts as Aix-les-
Bains. Sorrel is cooling, and forms the
staple OF that sONpe dur herbGs which a
French lady will order for herself after a
long and tiring journey. Carrots, as con-
tanning quantity of sugar are avoided by
some people, while others complain of them
as indigestible. With regard to the latter
accusation, it may be remarked, in passing,
that 1T is the yellow core of the carrot that
ls difficult of digestion-the outer, a red
layer, is tender enough. In Savoy the
peasants have recourse to an infusion OF
carrots as specific for jaundice.
The large, sweet onion is very rich in
those alkaline elements which counteract
the poison of rheumatic gout If slowly
stewed in weak broth, and eaten with
little Nepaul pepper, it will be found to be
an admirable article of diet for patients of
studious and sedentary habits. The stalks
of caulitlower have the same sort of value
only too often the stalk of q cauIiaower is
so ill-boiled and unpalitable that few per
sons would thank you for proposing to them
to make. part of their meal consist of SO
uninviting an article. Turnips, in the same
way, are often thought to be indigestible,
and better suited for cows and sheep than for
delicate people; but here the fault lies with
the cook quite as much as with the root.
The cook boils the turnip badly, and then
pours some butter over it, and the eater OF
such dish is sure to be the worse for it.
Try better way. What shall be said about
our lettuces? The plant has slight mar
cotic action, of which French old woman.
like French doctor, well knows the value. |
and when properly cooked it is really very
easy of digestion. Record.

hARE-DONE MEAT INJURIOUS.-There are
no indications that the mania for undercooked
beefsteak is on the decline; in restaurants
only such are served. This refers to robust
people, but weakly persons continue to
patronize pounded raw chops and steaks and
the juice of uncOoked meat NJ. TOussaint
exposes the grave dangers of patronizing such
dietary, as, if the meat is unsound, the
germs of disease will inevitably pass into
The system. He states no contagious
malady possesses greater Virulence than
tubercular Affections or consumption, and
that Is the form of the disease most to be
encountered in meat sent to the market In
the slaughter-houses an OK, etc, is not re-
Jected as unfit for food unless the lung be
entirely affected, but gray granulations may
still exist and produce infection
NJ Toussaint took the lung of cow not
very much affected with consumption he
placed it under press and collected the
juice; he inOculated rabbits and young pigs
with the liquid as it came from the press,
and after he had heated another portion to
Ia degrees Fahrenheit, the result was, all
the subjects died in a very short period. He
extracted the juice in the same manner from
the thigh of pig, dead from consumption,
previously cooking the flesh, to correspond
with that served in hotels, etc, according to
the latest fashion. Then he inoculated rab-
BITS with such grilled juice, and they inva-
rlably died of consumption. There are cases
where the consumption of raw meat is neces-
saryi here duty suggests to ascertain well
the origin of such meat; in all other cases it
is prudent to only eat meats suitably cooked;
that Is, meat whose interior has been acted
upon by a temperature of $50 or 100 degrees.

PRESERVATION OF WOOD.-A new wood
preserving process has been invented in
France. The timber is first thoroughly i'm
pregnated with simple solution of SOAP.
mixed with an acid-preferably picnic acid.
This causes the fermentation in a few days
within the wood of a fatty acid, which is
insoluble in water, and impregnates the
remOtest ibres. The reaction of the acid on
the soap does not take place until portion
of the water has evaporated. 1t is claimed
that more perfect impregnation can be had
in this way than with creosote, and there is
no danger of the washing out of the pre-
servatiye from the exposed surfaces, as when
suIphate of copper is used.

iAoI <ANrA lJON OF NSTS.-NIT. u. JSll-
klns, OF Ohio, read a paper ON the above
subject at the recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Nurserymen's Association, in which he
stated that hardwood trees cannot be in
duced to root readily. An examination and
comparison OF the grain, fiber, and cellular
appearance of different woods will enable
any one to detect those that can be readily
multiplied by cuttings, especially if exam
lned with the aid of microscope 1t is of
course, to be considered that ripeRed aCOOd of
hardwood trees is understood i'll the above
quotation, because many hard-wooded trees
can readily be prOpagated from cuttings
taken Off at the proper time. We greatly
doubt the ability of the microscope to detect
anything in the appearance of fiber and Gel
Iular tissue that will settle the question of
propagation. The lockwood is one of the
hardest of woods, yet the hard old wood of
the plant roots without trouble, and many
others of hard-wooded plants root very freely
from the hard wood. Again there are many
OF what might be termed sOft-wooded trees,
which are as difficult to root from cuttings
as are the hardest species. So far as known,
we do not believe that there are any external
indications which will form guide as to
whether plant will propagate easily or
with difficulty by cuttings; the only method
to ascertain this is to test it by experiment.
About thirty years ago, in paper which we
published on the propagation of plants by
cuttings, in HOUey's MdqaziRe, Boston. 1850.
we suggested that the roofing of cuttings of
hard or ripened wood was influenced by the
amount of starch contained in the tissues of
the plant. This suggestion was corroborated
more than twenty years afterwards by some
German psychologists, who had made long
series of experiments on this subject. But
there is no method that will so quickly de-
eide this question of roofing cuttings as
practical test
