the fact that where two varieties of
corn-dent and flint were grown on
the same farm, care was taken at husk-
ing to determine the relative propor-
ton of corn when in the ear and when
shelled. The result showed that the
dent variety gave eighty bushels of
shelled corn per acre, and the flint SIX
ty bushels. but when they were dried
and weighed for market, it was found
that the yield of flint exceeded that of
dent.

The anxiety of some farmers to
get their cattle to grass early is strong
ly condemned by the National Lice
Stock Journal. The little green food
thus obtained. it says, does not help
much in feeding them, but it gives
them a distaste for dry fodder, and
thus ~unfavorably affects their appetite
for the food that must support them.
Cattle should be kept upon winter food
until grass has grown sufficiently to
afford q good bite, and then they should
not be left upon the grass more than
an hour or two at a time for a few
days.
-Toothpicks should never be kept
upon a table where meals are served.
There should be a convenient place
near at hand where one car be con
ven emily taken in passing out of tho
room after meals. They should b.
used as quietly and privately as posi-
BILE. and when used-religiously thrown
away. Good shaping of the human
face divine, good manners, good tast'
and good health forbid the touching
tasting or handling of toothpicks as al
article of diet. or as a sweet morsel O
wood pulp to roll ovcr or under tn
tongue.-Erchange.
Since the cultivation of the Jerusa
lem artichoke by farmers for the us'
of their stock is becoming quite com
mon. it may be of interest to know
that the vegetable may be prepared
for the table. Peel the artichokes ant
cut them into little dice; put them int
a stewpan with a piece of butter, som
salt, and a little parsley. Let then
steam about q quarter of an hour: thel
dredge them with floor; add sutficien
soup, boil up and serve with sippets o
toast. Or boil the artichokes in salte'
water, drain and mash them. Adj
them to a soup in which very littl
pieces Of meat I floating. Or bo&
and mash them; add them to a clea
white soup, and thicken with Is table
spoonful of flour stirred into a cup q
cream or good milk.-DetroM Post.
