SHEATHtNG A Pillow Certain women
have long clamored for some new method
of putting on n pillow case. but these
people have either lost their teeth, or the
new ones they have bought do not grasp
the situation. They have tried several
new methods, such as blowing the pillow
case up and getting the pillow in before
the wind got out, and they have tried to
get the pillow in by rolling up the pillow
case until the bottom is reached, and then
placing the pillow on end and gently
unrolling the pillow case, but all these
schemes have their draw backs. The old
style of chewing one end of the pillow,
and holding it the way retriever dog
holds duck, till the pillow case is on and
then spanking the pillow couple of
times on each side, is the best, and gives
n woman's jaw about the only rest they
get during the day. If any invention
drives this old custom away from us, and
we no more see the matrons of the Ian d
with their hair full of feathers and their
moulhes full of stripped bcd-ticking, we
shall feel that one of our institutions has
been ruthessly torn from us, and the
fabric of our national supremacy has
received sad blow, and that our liberties
are in danger.

A good, honest soul once said that "all
she wanted when she got to heaven, was
to put on clean apron and sit still.''
After all, the idea is more profound than
funny. There are times in every house,
keepers life when this would be an EN-.
bodiment of Paradise. When the head
throbs with planning, contriving, and
directing; when every bone aches in the
attempt to carry the programme into sue.
cessiul execution; when, after having
done ones best TO focus all the minutes
imal cobweb threads OF careful manage
mcht, some new emergency is born of
every last attempt, till every nerve and
muscle cries out, with the old woman. for
heaven and II clean apron! OF course,
after period of care-fice rest, this earth
seems after all n very nice place TO stay
in but while the fit lasts, no victim of
unsuccessful love, Or of sca.sickness, is
more truly deserving of that which neither
ever gets hcdrYeU pity. 1t is well that
it is not tho prevailing feeling, else how
could VIC all toll and MOL, as we do, day
after day, for six feet of earth to engulf
it all at last! 1t is well that to painstaking
mothers and delving fathers, earth seems
so real Wore it not so, tho wheels of this
world would stick fast, of course.

/ GENEROUS FEEDING ECONOMICAL In
order 10 feed stock economically it is
necessary that the animals should be fed
all that they can digest and assimilate.
/ A large part Of the food eaten is required
! TO repair the natural wastes of the body,
while what is taken in excess of that goes
| largely to increase the flesh and fat,
From the small amount eaten in excess of
the necessary requirements of the system,
is derived the income, and consequently
the profit in keeping the animal. For
instance, in German experiment the
total quantity of digestible nutriments in
the daily fodder was increased from 1876
to 10 46 pounds, while the nutritlve ratio
remained the same. The result was that
thTty.two per cent of the digestble
albumnoids taken were deposited as flesh,
while before only eighteen per cent had
been. In other words the slight increase
in the ration nearly doubled the increase
in flesh. This shows how important it is
when ia tening stock or feeding to secure
large growth, to feed all that the animal
can be made to digest and assimilate. 1t
is the generous feeding that then secures
the profitable result. A few suggestions
in regard to economical feeding of farm
stock have thus been thrown out, hoping
that increased attention may be attracted
to this important subject.-H Reynolds,
| NJ d., IN NcW England Farmer.

results can be secured in that or other
direction every time. That corn can be
bred TO earliness, or size, or TO more than
one ear on stalk. Now if we could
have reports of similar character on
other grains and on potatoes, with the
results of the trials, they would furnish
some basis for an intelligent opinion on
the question.
Mr.. EDITOR In the last issue | see
that DIR. Sturtevaut gives his views on the
selection OF seed corn and also that you
call for experiments; ] would like to give
your readers little of my experience in
corn raising. Forty years ago when l
first commenced farming for myself on II
small scale, | was on n hill farm and l
procured some of the small Canada corn
for seed, growing about four feet high and
the longest ears some six inches long, not
longer. went on the principle that like
produces like, and "As a man soweth so
shall he also reap" in physical, as well as
in moral and spiritual things. planted
that same kind of corn for twenty-five
years, and all that time | selected my
seed, not from the earliest, but from the
longest ears and also those that had the
"tip" kernel perfect, and planted the
whole ear. III ised about thirty bushels
of corn to the acre at first, the yield
increased year by year until in the year
1860 | raised Oh just ffty.four rods Of
ground (about onc-third of an acre) forty
bushels of the ha1dsomest corn l ever
saw grow. Many Of the stalks ten feet
high and most of them three good ears,
ten inches in length and some of the ears
thirteen and onc.half inches long and all
tipped out to perfection, the admiration of
all who saw it. lily corn and garden

OBSERVER.
We find in an exchange an opinion by
Col. F. D. Curtis which would be con-
iirmed by observers" experience. and
which looks reasonable to US. Col. Curtis
says:
A great many farmers comfort them
selves with the notion that if they change
seed with some other farmer they are
doing II biz thing. This is mistaken
idea. Seed should be improved and taken
from the farm where it is grown, and to
which it has adapted itself. At home is
the place for Improvement. The idea that
the little germ of Il seed can carry the
good qualities of good farm. with it is
but it can carry with it
pcculIautics in its nature (growlh and
acquired IN one place, which
will be unsutGd to another. He therefore
advises farmers TO improve the seed on
their own land by careful selection of the
best ears for planting.

| The men would hang themselves
because there are three hundred and
sixty-five days in a year, and every morn

their shirt. wristbands. The women would
think of nine children, and one at the

through the measles, scarlet fever. chicken
pox and whooping cough; while Bridget
and Betty would incontinently drown
themselves at the never-ending succession
of breakfasts, dinners and suppers, to be

DON'T FREr.-A large part of ife's
burdens arc self imposed. Fears OF cal
antilles which never happen, doleful
habit of ooking at the worst, suspicious
disposition, a jealous turn of mind
these are the tyrants that loads us with
burdens heavy to bear, but needless to
carry. If we should honestly examine the
various burdens of our lives, we would he
surprised to find how many of them are of
this character. Not only may we drop
them if we will, but justice to others
demands that we should. A man or
woman habitually unhappy is essentially
selfish. and is always thorn in the com
munity, There are enough trials and
C. osses in life which must be borne, with.
out manufacturing artificial and needless
ones; and the more thoroughly VIC rid
ourselves of the latter, the more energy
and spirit we can bring to bear on The
latter. Home Magazine.
