Soaking Feed Corn.

1t will be found upon trial that the
soaking of corn to be fed to working
stock, especially oldhorses or mules, will
be attended with good results. Indeed it
is not unwiee to soak corn for all work
stock after hot weather has set IN. At
this time corn, especially finty varieties,
becomes very hard, and is, therefore, not
easy ofmastication. By soaking the corn
in water, even for the space of six hours,
it becomes softer and easy of digestion.
Ora days supply can be put into the
soaking tub every night, and handful
of salt thrown into the water with it does
good. When horses or mules are kept
constantly at work it is wise as we'll as
kindly to consult their comfort and
health. Whole corn, or corn imperfectly
masticated, swallowed into horses
stomach, not only does not digest readily
and supply the needed nourishmept and
strength but in very many cases produces
collie, nervousness and fretfulness on the
part of the animal. When the horses
digestion is good be is sure to work
with greater comfort and with satisfac-
ton to the plowman. The soaking does
not extract any of the nutriment of the
corn. Try it and you will discover a
difference in favor of the soaking of corn
for your pillow animals.

knowledge, BY far greater part Of all
school work consists in a useless pilgrim
age through a barren desert of empty

this is not far to seek, -the examinations

posing children have been in the school
three or four year under poor teaching

Now the teacher, who takes such poorly

courses. She must do the children under

Canning Factories.

1t is not best for community to carry
all its eggs In one basket. While cotton
factories are now paying we'll and every
one feels like investing in one, it would
be wise if the smaller manufacturing en-
terprises received some attention. 1t is
better to have FIVE hundred hands engag-
ed in twenty small factories rather than
for all the capital and hands to be EN-.
ployed ihr one concern. Just now can
ming factories are attracting attention
and they are springing up very rapidly
While there is not millions in them there
is fair profit and the fruits and vegeta'
bles usually wasted are turned into mon.
ey. Peaches could not be depended on
here every year but they could be used
when the crop was good. Every one
knows that our Southern peaches, when
selected with care, are much better than
the average canned peaches bought in
the markets. The canned goods in great
est demand are tomatoes, okra, corn and
peaches. The first three can be raised in
greatest abundance here, and a canning
factory could be kept running three
months or more. Successive paintings of
corn would give work from the first Of
July to the middle of October. Toma.
toes and okra can be raised up to a kill
ing frost. The building will cost but
little as all the work is done in warm
weather. A few hundred dollars would
K1y the necessary outfit. The 9.poand
tin can may be manufactured at cost OF
8 cents. Cheap labor can do much of
the work. A timer, person to manage
the boiler and one to assort the fruits and
examine the cans before packing are
about all the skilled persons needed.
Women and children will soon become
experts at the general work. A few
small factories would open up market
for all the fruits and vegetables suitable
for canning. The Manufacturers Record
of Baltimore, says:
"some time ago we told of the devel-
opment of the fruit canning Business in
Botetourt county, Va, which, commen.
cling with one farmer canning his own
fruits in his kitchen, had developed until

there this spring. Another county in the
same State is making rapid progress in
the same direction. Rockbridge county
will have six new factories this spring, in
which $4,000 to 100000 will be in
vested. Tomatoes, peas, fruit, etc., will
be canned, creating a profitable home
market for all these products. Not only
does the building up Of the canning in'
terests keep at home much money that
has heretofore gone elsewhere, but it
creates a new industry for the farmers.
It enables them to diversity their crops

Keeping Eggs Fresh.

Many have been the plans suggested
for keeping eggs. The true; secret is to
put entirely fresh eggsin cool place in
say sort of packing that will exclude the
air. AN egg may be cooked and eaten
OF used in the preparati tionsof cakes, &c,
and be pronounced fresh and good; Yet
another egg laid.in the same nest the
same day, and kept in the same place
will, put up by any known process,
decay before another packed away on the
day the hen left it in her nest, because
the process Of decay had already begun
though imperceptible in the one Of the
same age and treatment that was con-
sumed. We once put a fresh but crack
ed egg in glass tumbler and covered it
with dust from the road. A month later
We took it out and it was fresh. 1t was
returned and kept fresh another month,
Its freshness being indicated by its clear
ness when held between the eye and the
light. We have kept eggs packed in
dust for months. Some were fresh,
Others were decayed. Evidently the de.
cayed ones were some days old when in
hot weather of, June. they were packed
away. The others we're strictly fresh and
kept go.
sSThe cooler the place of storage, the
longer eggs will keep. Some contend
there is virtue in turning eggs over every
few days. This is commended by the
Poultry Keeper. We we're once told by
an CID lady that she was successful in
keeping real fresh eggs for months by
putting them in stocking or long mar.
row sack, with a hang loop at each, end,
and every few days carefully turning
them over and suspending them from the
loop at the opposite end.
If the manufacturers obtain strictly
fresh eggs in summer, they could make it
pay by freezing them in blocks Of ice,
unless the freezing process should be
detrimental to the eggs. Red snapper
fish, caughtin the Gulf of Mexico near
Galveston, in hot weather, are enclosed
in blocks of ,arti6cialice and shipped to
the most distant markets of the North,
and Kept as long as desired in that con.
sditfon in iice.cold houses. Why not
Eeggs The high prices 10 the winter
would compensate for the trouble and
expense.

How TO Act in Emergencies.

Ifau individual is endowed with com.
mon sense and can exercise self control
when necessary, a slight knowledge of
physiology will enable him to act in
emergency.
A boy is brought home with severe
cut on his arm. The blood spurts out OF
the wound, showing plainly that an ar,
tery has been servered. tits fortunate if
a member Of the family can come forward
and bind two pieces of cloth tightly
around the limb directly above and below
the wound; the blood will cease to flow,
and even if there should be unavoidable
delay in the arrival of the doctor, he will
be able to save life that would certainly
have been sacrificed if the prompt treat.
ment mentioned had not been resorted
to.
A whole family we're thrown into
state of excitement by the youngest child
rushing into the house and declaring that
a big black snake had "bited" him. The
mother swooned, the father paced the
floor fraptically, while the rest of the
family embraced the child and cried
over him until, between the wound and
the excitement, the little fellow came
near being thrown into convulsions. A
sensible neighbor hearing the excitement
came into the room, and taking the child
in her arms murmured words of encour-
agement; then, turning toward a mem
Der of the family, she asked for carbonate
of soda. Moistening small portion Of
the soda with water, she applied it to the
wound; when the soda became dry she
moistened it again, and at the expiration
of an hour was overjoyed to see upon the
white surface of the application unmis-
taxable evidence of snake virus.
Rusty nails make ugly wounds, which
if not attended to at once may cause great
neutrality-suspicious. death. Smoke the
wound with wool or wooden cloth fifteen
minutes in the smoke will remove the
worst case of Inflammation.
The terrible pain caused by being
severely burned may be almost instantly
relieved by applying q mixture of strong,
fresh, clean lime water mixed with as
much linseed oil as it will cut. Before
applying wrap the burn in cotton wad-
ding, gsaturated with the lotion. Wet

ing cotton from burn for nine days, when

Bleeding at the nose frequently causes
extreme prostration. Ifthe nose bleeds
from the right nostril, pass the finger
along the edge of the right jaw until the
beating of the artery is felt. Press hard
upon it for FIVE minutes and the bleeding
will stop.
A child who has morbid propensity
to force buttons, beans, ect., into his nos
trils keeps his whole family in state
bordering upon terror, for they never
know at what precise moments they may
be called upon to perform an operation
upon Master Harry's nasal appendage.
Pressure against the empty nostril and
quick, strong breathing into the open
mouth will dislodge the foreign substance
and send the suffering youngster upon
his way reioicing.-Good Housekeeping.
