TIE Multicharge Gun.

. a. ~ Q 0NA ofVSA0As
What is intended to be mi of the
greatest improvements in modern war
fare is the Lyford-H Haskell multicharge
gun, which was finished at the Scott
foundery in New York recently. 1t has
been undergoing construction for over
two years, and has been shipped to Sam
dy Hook. There it will be tested in the
presence of leading officers of the army
and navy of the United States and for
eign countries. The last congress made
a special appropriation for this purpose.
Since,the invention of cannon, four hun
bred years ago, they have all been cor
structed or the same principle, that of
containing all the powder in the breech,
and the Lyford-Haskell has the first
deviation. The weapon underneath
contains four pockets which each hold
the breach itself only eighteen pounds.
AS the ~projectile starts from the breech
the force of this entire one hundred
pounds of powder is concentrated on it,
one pocket after another rapidly dis
charging its contents. The gun is TWEEN
ty-fve feet long and weighs twenty-five
tons. It is rendered doubly strong by
a steel lining, and it is thought can send
a p~rojectile through a solid piece of iron
twenty-four inches thick. 1t will shoot
from twelve to fifteen miles, and is in
tended for both harbor and naval de-
tense.
The present gun was manufactured at
a cost of over fifty thousand dollars, and
Mr.. Haskins has personally supervised

Tips and Butts,

1t has been the practice for genera
lions with careful farmers in Smelling
seed corn to reject the grain from the
tips and butts of the ears. The idea has
been prevalent that these grains, being
smaller and defective in shape, have not
the vitality to produce strong and pro-
ductive stalks. There is a p%lausibility in
the theory; and yet actual demonstra-
ton has proven that the theory and
practice were erroneous. Innovations
upon the old notions of the fathers of
late are plenty. We notice in the pa
pers and books that careful practical tests
have demonstrated that those rejected
defective grains are the very best for
seed. Experimental stations and agri-
cultural colleges have confirmed this
fact. Or. Sturdevant was the first, prob
ably who was bold enough to publicly
combat the hoary theory. And after
careful investigation Professor Blount of
the Colorado Agricultural Experimental
Station perfectly agrees with DIR. Sturde-

have done, and was compelled to p aut

ritious part of the food, when they
should be put into water nearly boiling
hot to form a hard coat over the outside
and prevent all loss. But this pointing
out of mistakes and abuses will not
aid; we will try to show a better
way.
Eggs are usually boiled three or four
minutes. This is a mistaken method.
To cook an egg properly the white, or
albumen, should be just curdled, while
the yolk should be hardened. Now,
the yolk hardens at a temperature when
the albumen curdles. But if cooked in
boiling water the albumen is hardened,
since it hardens at that temperature,
while very often the yolk is moi hard
ened, because the egg is removed before
the yolk is properly heated. The cor
rect method, then, is to place the egg in
a small amount of boiling water, remove
the vessel from the stove and let it cool.
After ten or fifteen minutes remove the
egg and it Will be found properly cooked;
the albumen coagulated but not hard
ened; the yolk hardened.

The same is true of many fine herds be-

it not time to proclaim emancipatio on
from the foolish prejudice which has
kept many excellent animals from SER
