The Corn Miller calls attention to
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 proper
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

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 a good bite. and then they should
not be left upon the grass more than
an hour or two at time for a few
days.
-Toothpicks should never be kept
upon table where meals are served.
There should be a convenient place

Since the cultivation of the Jerusa~
lem artichoke by farmers for the use
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 and
cut them into little dice; put them into
a stewpan with piece of butter, some
salt, and a little parsley. Let them
steam about quarter of an hour; then
dredge them with floor; add sufficient
soup, boil up and serve with sippets of
toast. Or boil the artichokes in sailed
water, drain and mash them. Add
them to a soup in which very little
pieces of meat are floating. Or boil
and mash them; add them to a clear
white soup, and thicken with table
spoonful of flour stirred into a cup of
cream or good milk.-Detroit Post.
