An Interesting Manuscript.

The explorer of the Fayum, Mr.. Petrie
has discovered "a splendid fragment of
the Second Book of the Iliad, written on
papyrus in the finest Greek hand, before
the rounded uncial or cursive scripts
came into use. This precious document
was found rolled up under the head of a
mummy which was buried simply in the
sand, without the protection of a tomb.
1t measures apparently from 1-2 to
feet in length. The date of the manu-
script is about the Second or Third Gen.

Sweet Corn.
State Regi

Iowa Ctdto nckictct.
The Register has said considerable in favor Of
is true this has not been done from our expert
ence, as il is a matter Of regret that this ad-
vance 10 farming was comparatively unknown
previous to our leaving the farm. And yet We
know aud have seen the great benefits OF having
q few acres each year Of this rich and very de-
sirable forage. The following 10 from MIR.
JaQua, whose statements and experience is as
good as our own. We hope get all farmers into
the good practice:
We dislike to publish anything that looks like
b~oasting on our part or that of anyone else.
sweet corn Of the Stowell Evergreen variety.
We had fifty hogs that had run on pasture dur
ing the summer. and had been led old corn to
keep them growing. AS soon as this sweet corn
had formed good roasting ears we commenced
feeding it to them by cutting ND stalks and all.
Ia q few days We had the ears alone pulled and
thrown out to them. We have just fcished
feeding out all the sweet corn, and now have
cold thirty OF the hogs that have been fatted
ready for the market on this corn.
We have never had such satisfactory
results from feeding common field corn to
hogs. The sweet variety yields moro
corn to the acre by one-third than any acre we
have of the dent variety. With cattle no feed
Is relished more. Cows that are stacking up In
milk will Immediately show signs of an increased
flow il fed a little sweet corn. Tho sugar in the
corn seems to ba just what is demanded at this
season of the year. 1t puts on fat faster than
any known feed. Farmers should plant moro
sweet corn. not only enough to give themselves
q taste of the dainty morsel out the beasts also.
We ali like a good roasting ear. Recollect the
beasts do. too. Hereafter all our fall feeding
shall be from sweet corn, as 1t has paid Us better
than feeding from dent varieties.

Storing Winter Apples.
Husbardry

dusbaEdry.
There are but q very few points to the secret
OF success in keeping apples during the winter.
The critical time Ia not in the winter, but be-
fore the cold weather sets in. In the first place,
the apples should be picked before they are
perfectly ripe-about the time they begin to
ripeu is the beet. Picked at that lime. carefully
sorted and put in barrels. they can be left in the
orchard under a shed. or covered with boards
and straw. until the weather begins to get quite
cool. Then they ere carefully sorted and re-
moved TO a dry. cold cellar. or, as many must
do. placed underground in a dry, well-drained
location. They are, however, not covered in
the pits very deeply at frst; considerable straw
is used, and they are covered lightly with earth
until this ground begins to freeze. A large num-
Der placed in a heap will not freeze very easily,
but ventilation is always provided through the
upper part of the pit.
TIE cellar should not contain any vegetables.
After the perfectly sound apples are removed to
the cellar In clean barrels, they should be so ar
ranged as to allow free circulation of air all
around the barrels. Now, if the cellar il kept
dry and at a temperature just a little above the
freezing point, it is all that can be done. To
keep the cellar cool enough requires daily atten-
ton; during the cool nights and warm days the
doors and windows should be kept open all
night and closed perfectly tight during the day;
you thus bottle up, so TO speak, the cool air of
ons night during the day, to be renewed the
next. accom- plishiug, at the same time. ono of the
most important objects-a thorough ventilation.
which, during the winter, should not be neg
lected.

a quiet undertone Of strength that showed on
the surface whenever any buyers orders were
small supply Of stocks. and several attempts by
bsarish traders 20 buy back shares sold early in
the week were abandoned on account of this
scarcity. Most Of the news made public
during the day was of q bull
ish character. the only exception
being the decrease in the st. Paul earnings for
the second week in November. The develop
ments 10 the trunk-lires situation were very ia
vorable, and the fact that the two principal
roads had agreed to refrain from making any
further cuts in west-bound rates was really the
foundation for whatever strength was shown
during the day. The continued reports of q set

had o good effect, aud induced some buy

made to create an advance in those securities,
