SEED-CORN IN WINTER.
How to Store 1t So as to Preserve Its v
talitY aud Strength.

How to Store 1t So as to Preserve Its vi.
tally and Strength.
After seed corn is dried clear through
to the center of the cob. care is still
required in keeping it until ready for
use. Many leave it hanging in dry
place in which it was cured, which is
unobjectionable if always protected
from dampness, frost and vermin-the
great requisites in keeping the seed
properly after it is cured. Corn in
traces may Yell be stripped
of its husksN and dried on a
floor before packing away, to be sure
all moisture in the butts is dried out.
A well-dried ear will snap like a dry
stick when broken. q it is perfectly
dry, many good 'A.lers prefer to
leave the seed on the ear until about
ready to plant. believing that this
guards against the sweating process
which it passes through when stored
in any quantity. If the ears are packed
in barrels, asoid using salt barrels.
Others prefer Smelling and sacking
(sacks are not so retentive of heat OF
moisture as boxes or barrels), small
bags not over one bushel in capacity
being better than larger ones. Care
full Smelling by hand, rather than by
mashine so as not to crack the grains
or injure the germ, is a good practice.
This Smelling may not be done until
midwinter or later, but many advocate

caused by warm spells in winter Too.
much care can not be taken to keep the
cured seeds dry and away from frost.
n. NJ Luton stores it in the cellar in
boxes or sacks on supports nailed to
the ioists of the first floor, where it is
always dry and warm, especially if
there is a furnance in the cellar. L. j.
Heat puts the seed in Slated boxes
hung under the ioists of the second
story of his workshop. the lower story
having a fire in it in cold weather.
That frost will not injure the germ OF
well cured seed is believed by some,
but the most careful growers keep the
seed away from frost the year around.
Farmers who carefully follow the
above methods with seed corn will not
have to repiant, even IN unfavorable
seasons. From 90 to 90 per cent of
such seed will germinaCc in practice.
This last statement is based on long
experience by many careful observers;
it is not theory. 1t is poor vitality.
not cold or wet, that causes so much
seed corn to rot in the ground. John
Gould proved this by terminating 100
per cent. of good seed in mud at tenn
peratdre of As degrees, although it
took twenty days. Above all, such
seed will steadily improve the yield
and ripen the crop within ninety to one
hundred days in average seasons.

SOME STRANGE FOODS.
The Opposite Tastes of People Living 1
Different Parts of the Globe.

The Opposite Tastes OF PEOPLE Living In
Different Parts of the Globe.
The old saying that what is one
mans meat is another mans poison IL
realized in the opposite tastes of peo-
pie. The Turks shudder at the thought
of eating oysters. The Digger Indians
of the Pacific Coast rejoiced in the
great locust swarms of 1875 as a dis
pensation Of the Great Spirit, and laid
in store of dried locust powder sutfi-
cient to last them for several years.
The French will eat frogs, snails and
the diseased livers of geese, but draw
the line at alligators. Buckland de.
clares the taste of boa constructors to
be good aud much like veal. Quass,
the fermented cabbage of the
Russians, is their popular tipple. 1t is
described as resembling a mixture oil
stale fish and soapsuds in taste, yet,
next to beer, it has more votaries than
any other fermented beverage. A
tallow candle washed down with quass
forms a meal that il would be hard to
be thankful for.
In Canton and other Chinese cities
rats are sold at the rate of fifty cents a
dozen, and the headquarters of the dog
are hung up in the butchers shop
alongside of mutton and lamb, but
command a higher price. The edible
birds nest of the Chinese are worth
twice their weight in silver, the finest
variety selling for as much as thirty
dollars a pound. The negroes of the
West Indies eat baked snakes and palm
worms fried in fat, but they can not be
induced to eat stewed rabbits. In
Mexico parrots are eaten, but they are
rather tough. The Gauchos of the
Argentine Republic are in the habit OF
hunting skunks for the sake of their
flesh. The octopus, or devil fish, when
boiled and then roasted, is eaten in
Corsica and esteemed a delicacy. In
the Pacific Islands and West Indies
lizard eggs are eaten with gusto.
The natives of the Antilles eat alli-
gator eggs, and the eggs OF the turtle
are popular everywhere, though up to
the commencement of the last century
turtle was only eaten by the poor of
Jamaica. Ants are eaten by various
nations. In Brazil they are served
with a resinous sauce, and in Africa
they are stewed in grease or butter.
The East Indians catch them in pits
and carefully wash them in handfuls
like raisins. In Siam curry of ant
eggs is a costly luxury. The Cingaleso
eat the bees after robbing them of their
honey. Caterpillars and spiders are
dainties to the African bushman. After
they have wound the silk from the CO.
coon, the Chinese eat the chrysalis OF
the silkworm. Spiders roasted are a
sort of dessert with the New Gale
domains. Or. Foote's Health Nonthlu.

The autumn is a good time to make
improvements on the farm; new roads
may be built to advantage; the low
land may be ditched out, that it may
be thoroughly drained; old stumps
pulled out, and the land leveled and
seeded down to grass. Every farmer
who has much low land that is covered
with wood should clear a small piece
every year, and thus extend his now

walking Home with Mary.

Walking Home With Mary.
In all the changing scenes Of life,
Scenes that 80 widely vary,
I've never spent happier hour
Than walking home with Mary.
How often as boy, when life
Was young and glad and hearty,
By starlight have seen her home
From singing school or party
We knew not then how good they were,
The hours we passed together,
As hand in hand, with lightsome hearts,
We strolled across the heather.
Though since those days from Mary's side
To distant lands I've wandered
The time I've spent away from her
To me seems vainly squandered.
Last night once more saw her home;
The stars were blinking blindly
Through rifted clouds, but into mine
Her Eyes were beaming kindly.
We talked of all the happy past,
OF pleasures long departed,
And both confessed that off since then
We had been heavy hearted.
And ere we reached her fathers home
told her how I'd missed her,
And while we fingered at the gate
stopped and fondly kissed her.
Before we parted twas agreed
Our paths no more should vary;
No more aiar from her I'll roam,
I'm going to marry Mary.
