western Corn and Northern Corn COm-
pared.
It has been frequently stated of late that
northern corn and cob meal was worth as
much as an equal weight Of western meal
from shelled corn. This statement is not
borne out by chemical analyses. 1t is no
doubt true that much of the western corn
which is shipped to the eastern mills is of so
inferior a quality that the meal made from 1t
IS inferior 10 corn and cob meal made from
good northern corn, but II the corn from each
section is equally sound and clean, the locali-
" where il is grown seems to make but little
difference in its nutritive value nor is there
much difference in the quality Of the common
western varieties and tho common varieties
grown at the north, provided both are equally
we'll ripened and sound.
Clifford Richardson, assistant chemist OF
the department Of agriculture, has recently
made large number of analyses of both
wheat and corn, for the purpose of determin-
ing the composition of different varieties, and
of the same varieties grown in different local
tiles. Including the analyses collected from
other analysts, the composition of 1873 SAM
Dlbb VI GOIu lIOll diAOub bAhNSo1 AOHANoSh'iAb
all sections of the country, were determined.
The result of these analyses leads to the con-
olusion that corn has about the same average
composition wherever il grows, with the ex-
ception of that grown on the Pacific slope,
which appears to be deficient in heterogeneous
material. Mr. Richardson says; "Corn is
an entirely different grain from wheat 1t
maintains about the same percentage of albu-
minoids under all circumstances, and is not
affected by its surroundings in this respect. /"
Thirty samples of corn from The northern
states, and sixty eight samples from the west
ern states were analysed. The per cent of
carbohydrates in the thirty samples from the
northern states averaged 1882, albuminoids
1864, nitrogen 10. In fifteen samples from
the middle western states, the average of car
bohydrates was GS. 1G, abuminoids 1899, nj
trogen 10 In 50 samples from tho states
farther west, the average of carbohydrates
was 40, albuminods 1913, nitrogen 1.G7.
1t will be seen that the average of the thir-
ty samples from various localities in the
northern states does not differ essentially in
composition from the average of the sixty.
eight specimens from the western states
Thirteen analyses of Connecticut corn, by S.
w. johnson and w. o. Atwater give sub
stantinlly similar results. Only one sample
of Vermont corn was analysed. In this sam
pie the per cent of carbohydrates was ~ &C.

Probably Vermont corn is about the same in
quality as New Hampshire corn; and New

tritive value. The New Hampshire Board of
Agriculture furnished the department chem

Let every bed maker, as soon as the covers
are spread turn down the upper sheet and all
above it, leaving generous margin below
the bolster. Some people, you know, pull all
the covers straight up to the top and lay the
bolster upon them, so that when bedtime
comes the bed must be rearranged at the head.
Boys don't like this way, and perhaps some
other folks DON'T either. 1t is the custom to
pile two big square pillows on top of the boil
ster, and then put on two pillow-shams, or
perhaps before the pillow-sham sheet-sham.
This is setting trap for the unwary. Only
q very careful woman is equal to the task Of
getting off all the "fnery" properly. Why
not almost, il not altogether, abolish shams
of all kiuds2 Why not take of the big
square pillows and supply every bed with
comfortable bolster in their place? II you
like adornments, embroider or decorate the
slips and sheets themselves, without any make
believe. Silk, lace and the like seem out of
place on bed, which should suggest repose.

OutWitted.

Clarence King. the Sierra scientist, was
once followed for three days over the Tu-
lare plains and into the San Joaquin Val
ley by couple OF mounted Mexican high
waymen, who alternately chased and in
tereepted him. forcing him more than once
for safety to the chances of speed or STRAIT
agem. After one narrow escape by a
magnificent run of his good horse, ''Ka-
weah," he had travelled day unmolested,
and was stopping for the night at set
ler's ranch, when the robbers rode up to
the ranch, and from their questions to his
villainous host. and their sudden depart
ure. he knew as he overheard the whole
from his window. that they intended to
waylay him on the road. The story OF the
remarkable slip he gave them is thus told
by Mr. King himself:
In the night rose cautiously. and hold
ing my watch up to the moon, found that
~ O'Clock had just passed; then taking
from my pocket IS gold piece, laid it
upon the stand by my bed, and in my
stocking feet. with my clothes in my hand

A fierce bull dog. who had shown no
disposition to make friends with me,
bounded from the open door of the pro-
prietor, to my side. Instead of tearing
me. as expected, he licked my hands,
and fawned about my feet.
Reaching the corral-gate, | dreaded
opening it, remembering that the hinges
creaked badly. So I hung my clothes
upon an upper bar of the fence, and eau
tiously lifting the latch, began to push
back the gate, inch by inch, an
operation which consumed eight or ten
minutes. Then walked up to Kaweah
and patted him. The horse seemed full
of curiosity, as if he had never been ap-
preached in the night before. Suppress
ing his ordinary whinnying. he preserved
motionless. statute-like silence. Twas
in terror lest by neigh, or some nervous
movement, he should waken the sleeping
proprietor and expose my plan.
The corral and the open square were
half covered with loose stones, and when
thought of the clatter of Kaweah's
shoes experienced feeling of trouble.
till finally the idea struck me of muffiing
the iron feet.
In constant dread lest the horse should
make some noise. hurried to muffie his
forefeet with my trousers and shirt, and
