Value of Corn Cobs

Few farmers stop TO consider how
much of fertiliziug matter Is Annually
Wasted, SAYS an exchange, about the
farm, nor ct the expense incurred IN
purchasing the same materials IN 9th
or farms. Thus in the apparently IN
significant matter of coru cobs Is an
item worth saving. II the accnn.ula-
iious OF corn cobs were gathered ard
thrown into the hog pen they would,
by next spring. he reduced 10 manure.
It has been estimated illat III the corn
cobs grown in this country last wear
were upwards OF two hundred million
pounds ri potash. Where cora cobs
are used in lighting fires at the iar,a
honse. the potash may be saved; IN the
increased ya,ae ofthe ashes.
IL is well ,>uown that the ditieren;
varieties OF wool, when burned. yield
varying proportions of potash. At
the head OF the list in the prediction
o. potash stands the willow; hence its
ashes are OF superior value in this re-
spect, yet cnr'i cojs contain donble
the amo nj Of potash carried in the
willow 50, Ia this manner, we may
approximate the value OF the ashes
obtained in the burning OF corn cobs
and preserve the same for future use
in the fertilization OF the soil OF the
farm.
Successful farming is commonly
the result OF carefully attention OF lit
tic thiugs,to .he economical use OF the
smallest element of valac. Hence e.
ven the corn cobs. with their product
of potash. are worthy the attention Of
,hc practical and thrifty farmer. The
enormous cost Ia the farmer of potash,
whether III his lanyard manure, in
his commercial icrtIliz1rs, or in his
more direct purchases OF potash in
one tori:: or another-rendcrs the e.
economical! utilization OF corn cobs a
matter OF some Importance.

Lees Unselfish Devotion.

Not many people knew that Gen.
Robert Il. Lee was offered the chief
command OF the army in 1861 and
declined il. The offer was made up.
on toe recommendation of Gen. Scott.
backed by the venerable Francis p.
Blair, Sr. who conveyed the tender
OF the position in person. II must
have taken great moral courage to de.
cline the highest position 10 whicl he
could ever have atta,nel in his most
ambitious dreams. Ia 1865 the rail-
road which Is now called tue Virginia
Midland, and its connection, was
mainly owned by English bondhold-
ers. After an expert had carefully
examined the condition OF thing, the
committee of bondholders held a
meeting aud rendered TO General
Lee the presidency Of the road and
IT'S connections under one organiza.
ton, Of Il salary OF So. 900 year
About this time one of the most pow
erful of the New YORK life Insurance
companies offered General Lee $40.
900 year aud n house in Richmond
ID take hold o! and build up their
Southern business. General Lee de-
clined both OF these splendid offers to
accept Il place as teacher of Southern
young men, at $4,000 q year. Cap
tain Burritt says that the Duke of
Beaufort, Lord, JOHN Manuers and
two other English noblemeu rendered
General Lee II splendid estate in
West Riding. at Yorkshire. with
handsome rental, equal to $25, 900 n
year, for life, ii he would accept it
and live upon it. Earl Spencer, now
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, made
tender. General lee, with II charming
dignity that these gentlemen say was
beyond anything they had imagined,
declined the offer. '-RIchmoud Wing
