How TO Cut Corn.

Corn should be cut as near the ground
rs possible. This is not so much for
the sake of the stalk that is saved as to
avoid the troublesome stubs which can
not be covered in the next blowing, and
thus remain upon the surface for years,
a disagreeable nuisance in meadow and
among the hay. In setting up the
shocks it is preferable to make large
ones, and to take at least ten rows each
way, by which the shocks will stand
firmly and will not break down or tum-
BILE over. A large shock will dry quite
as we'll, although somewhat more slow
ly, as smaller one, and can be more
easily preserved from damage by storms.
The shock should be put up SO that the
center is open below and air can pass
freely through it, and should be bound
securely just above the center and at the
top with straw bands. It is very i'm
portant that the top should be closely
bound, so that rain may not enter.
Corn fodder so put up may remain
long time without injury, but the husk-
ing should not be postponed any later
than when the corn is dry, because
husking corn in snow storm is neither
convenient, agreeable, nor healthful.-

Ornamental Plants.

Among the many little known peren-
NAL flowers which are perfectly hardy in
Iowa, few are more beautiful and more
effective than the bacconia corddta. 1t
is native of China and belongs to the
same order of plants that contains our
wild "llood-root. 1t grows to a height
of from four to six feet; the leaves re-
semble those of the blood-root but are
larger, a deeper green on the upper sur
face, and white bloom on the under
side; the stem is also covered with
white bloom. The flowers are rather
small, OF a creamy-white color, and
quite fragrant. They are borne in large
clusters, at the ends of the stocks, and
the plant when IN bloom, furnishes very
striking ornament for the lawn. The
flowers are much freq1ented by the
bees, in fact bacconia is the very best
honey plant of which we have any know
ledge. As it grows from a root stock, it
should be allowed plenty of room-in-
deed, it loses much of its fectiveness
unless allowed to form large clump.

Pasture for Swine.

Pigs allowed to range and feed in
the pure air, with clearly surroundings,
will have pure blood, which in the
course of nature will build up healthful
bodies. They also have the opportunity
to resort to remedies and antidotes
which their instincts may prescribe for
their bodily ailments. These out-of-
door pigs would not show so well at the
fairs, and would probably be passed over
by the judges and people, who have been
taught to admire only the fat, feverish,
helpless things which get the prizes.
but are really caricature on fathers and
mothers. Such pigs are best adapted
to fill lard tubs, and to make doctors
bills; whereas, the standard of perfec-
ton should be a pig which will make
the least ham with the least waste of fat,
the longest and deepest sides, with the
most lean meat. 1t should have bone
enough to allow it to stand up and help
itself, and carry with it the evidence of
health and natural development in all
parts. Pigs which run in range, or
pasture, have good appetites; the fresh
air, exercise and change of diet give
them this; hence, they will eat a great
variety of food, and much coarser than
when confined in pens. Nothing need
go to waste on farm where pigs are
kept for lack of market -COL r. ID.

THE Old BOYS IN BLUE.

Alas for our flags desecrationi
The tramping of feet and the marching of men.
OF those who were fearless and true
A hurried a. Good bye, God bless you ~ and then
We are off with the Boys in Blue
CHoRUs:-
We're the old Boys in Blue, true as ever.
When fighting on land or on main
AS we fought for the old " Starry Banner
God bless it we'd do it again.
With the canopied heaven above u.s.
And the cold damp earth for our bed
Twas a covering beitting soldier,
The knapsack a rest for our head
Stancing shoulder TO shoulder as comrades
Brayely striving the long marches through
With song or a laugh to cheer each other,
When we marched with the Boys in Blue.
When hoIseward with old tattered banners,
We marched to the beat of the drum,
There was many brave comrade missing,
Whose lbs at the ''roll-ca +" were dumb
Or from victories on the waters,
As sailors we tried to be true
For the deeds of our navy will tell you
How we fought with the Boys in Blue.
AZ comrades we We grown old together,
But our hearts are young when we tell
OF marches, of battles, or lonely pickets
And scenes we remember so we'll
Oh when our hfe-march is ended below
And we've fought to the last brave and true
&lall we meet each other again, and know,
As on earth, the dear Boys in Blue2

Canned Whale.


An enterprising Norwegian is said to
have proved to some competent judges
of edibles that portions of the flesh of
the whale are good to eat. Some parts
have the flavor of beef, while others
suggest chicken, and the most delightful
fact of all is that the meat can be sold
in cans at about half the price of
Australian beef. As the whale is
not a fish, but warrl- blooded
animal, and very large one,
too, there may seem great promise in
this discovery, and it Is not impossible
that Yankee whalers may soon supply
grocers' shelves with canned whale. 1t
is a curious fact, however, that sailors
who have eaten whale after being away
from port long enough to take keen de-
light In any fresh meat that is absolute
ly detestable, have never known to speak
enthusiastically about whale. Canned
whale is not likely to take the conceit
out of the Texas steer.

Puritans and Women.


The Puritans of New England had
their own way of testifying how much
they thought OF the female sex. If a
man and woman were convicted of a
capital crime, they hanged the man and
burned the woman. Mr. Bonner's Led.
ger recalls the last instant of this fine
discrimination. 1t occurred in 1775, at
Cambridge, when two servants were ex-
ecuted for poisoning their master. They
were drawn on sled TO the place of ex-
ecution, aud Mark, q fellow of about
thirty, was hanged, and Phyllis, an old
creature, was burned to death.

California Chicory Farming.

Chlcory farming promises to be one of
the coming industries of California farm
ing. Chioory was first planted In that
state about fifteen years ago, but since
that time it has been extensively raised
on the San Joaquin and Sacramento
Rivers. Chicory is cultivated on small
scale in some of the eastern states, and
in some places in that section grows
wild in abandoned fields and orchards.
1t grows very luxuriantly on the bottom
lands Of Louisiana and Texas. The
root of the plant, when being prepared
for use, is cut by machine into small
square blocks, then placed in the sun to
dry, afterward roasted, and finally
ground in mill. Chicory possesses few
elements in common with coffee, and
yet it imparts taste to it greatly
fancied by certain coffee-drinkers in
Europe. In France and Belgium the
common people have been soaccustomed
to mix chicory with the coffee they drink
that they prefer it SO prepared to the
beverage in its pure state. Travellers in
those countries, even when they pur-
chase pure coffee for their private con-
sumption, find that the cooks will mix
chicory with it even after having re-
celved strict orders to the contrary
