There is not much advantage in
cutting green corn for soiling until it
approaches the poisoning stage Be-
fore this time stock will eat it, but it is
watery and innutritious.
The best way to boil corn is to boil
it with part Of the husks on it. Remove
the silk and the tough outer covering,
leaving the white inner leaves. The
corn will be much sweeter if cooked in
this way.-Troy Times.
Cheese, when properly made and
thoroughly cured, so that all It's sub

Careful experiments were made
last year in New York State in the Gull
ture of potatoes. TIE best results fol-
lowed the Dutch method of planting,
which consists of keeping the surface
of the ground level, planting a single
eye in place, covering it six inches
deep, and allowing but single staik To
grow in the hills, which are foot
apart each way.
Women arc more cheerful than
men, and yet are getting the reputation
among men of complaining. The wife
stays in the house too much The
/ evil of dressing to 90 to market is in
the way. Let it be considered bad taste
to see a housewife dressed up" while
she is doing her marketing; then there
will be more "time'' to get the fresh
air. CUrrent.
Prof. Sanborn has made some ex-
periments in feeding grain to stock at
pasture which indicate that even with
mich cows the gain does not pay for
the increased expense. There is de-
cided difference in the value of pasture
at different times, even in the same
season. Perhaps with rich grass in
June feeding extra may not be profit
able. But early in the season, when
the grass is watery, and later, when
pastures are dried up, we are very con-
tident that extra feeding is the better
policy.-N 7. Times.
"A correspondent of the Bee Journal
writes that brood of chickens were in
the habit of frequenting the shed in
which he kept his bees. The bees
stung all the dark colored ones to death,
yet did not modest the light-colored
chicks. Why this preference? The
editor writes that he has frequently
spoken of the advantage of wearing
light clothes among the bees. 1--WE
wear black bee walls because we can not
see clearly through any other color.
Woolly, fuzzy and dark materials are
objected to by bees. Z man with a
plug hat on rarely gets stung, unless by
a bee that, in trying to shoot the hat,
aims too low, and hits the face by mis-
take, while companion at suitable
distance is perfectly safe.n
