Best Distance for Corn Plants.

Prof. Hickman of the Ohio Station
says: The greatest amount of mar
ketable corn has been produced where
the stalk averaged twelve inche S
apart. The variations in yield were
slight, whether planted one grain
every twelve inches, two every TWEEN
ty-four inches, three every thirty-six
inches, or four every forty-e light
inches.

ions OF the germs. Cheese 40 days
old has been found to contain as many
as sixty-six millions of these germs to
the ounce. It is thus shown, as has
long been suspected, that the curing of
cheese is due to the effects upon it of
actively growing organisms.
Good feeding, regularity OF feed
ing, and care to give water only be-
fore feeding, will avoid most of the
disorders to which horses are subject
at this season. Regularity applies not
only to times, but quantity and kind
Of feed. Too much and then too little
feed is injurious. Green food should
always be given fresh and free from
vet. and never when in a state of fer
mentation. The frequent collie of
horses is always caused by injudicious
feeding.

out some of the earliest and best, es-
pecially hens, for breeding.

It rarely pays to set eggs for ha tch-
ing much after the 1st of June. The
weather is too hot to give good start
to grow.
In every town there are a few fami-
lies that will pay little more than
market price for eggs that they know
are fresh.
Goose feathers should be kept sepa-
rate from the duck and chicken feath-
ers. They sell for the highest price in
the market.
It is quite an item to provide good
ventilation at night in order to have
the fowls comfortably healthy. But be
careful to avoid draughts.
Where there is no great risk from
thieves, it will be very good plan to
allow some of the fowls to roost on
the trees Or on the fences.
Do not feed corn alone during the
summer; it is too heating and fatten-
ing at this time. Use it only in con-
nectiOn with other materials
In shipping young poultry at this
time see that they are we'll watered
and fed before coping, aud do not

Flax For Fibre.

Whenever Yankees turn their atten-
ton to fax for its fibre we are likely
to make our own linens. Some changes
in the present methods OF growing fax
Tor seed will be required, but it is a
mistake to suppose that the seed and
fibre may not be valuable from the
same plant. 1t should neither be cut
green nor left till dead ripe. In one
case, the seed is immature, and in the
other the fibre is of little value. Flax
must be sown pretty thickly for fibre.
This prevents it from branching, and
makes straight thin stalk. Land
must be rich enough to grow flax
thirty inches high, but nsw land does
not bring fibre so good as that which
has been some years cultivated. As a
good deal Of the flax grown in the
West has been sown On raw prairie as
its first crop, this may explain why at
tempts to use the fibre have not been
more successful. It has also been
sown very thinly, partly to economic
seed, but more to have the stalks
branch and produce more grain than
they would growing more closely to-
gether.
Running Farm Machinery.
Some men, who are otherwise good
farmers, have a constitutional inca
pacity for managing intricate machin-
cry of any kind. More and more the
work Of the farm is done by skill IN
the use of implements rather than by
! muscle. 70 some men this work comes
| easy and natural More than one
I farmer we have known whose natural
bent was toward mechanical pursuits
| rather than towards land cultivation.
Some such never took much interest
in farming until the abundance of farm
machinery, often intricate, gave OPP
| portunity for developing tLeir natural
bent of mind. Such men should de-
vote themselves wholly to the manage
) ment of machinery, by going from
farm to farm would earn more money
and feel better than they would to
carry on all kinds OF work on farms Of
their own, and the greater part of
which they took no interest in.

not the result of phlegmatic tempera- ment was apparent in the quick bright ness of the eyes that roved about the dining room, leaving out nothing, from the lunch-counter in the adjoining room, set with long ranks of salvers with globular glass covers that gave the ar ray the expression of a chemists labor atory-to the whirligig fans that .revolved just below the ceiling with the dual mission of cooking the atmos- phere and chasing away flies. Our re- turned traveller seemed to find those harbingers of summer weather and summer pests amusing. He was watch- ing them interestedly when a voice behind him accosted hurrying waiter.
 ''There is young girl over there who can not walk. Will you lift her out of her chair and bring her in? Itis just at the door and she Is very light"
 "Busy, now, Missl Better ask some body else!' pushing past.
 The bafled applicant stood in the middle of the floor, irresolutely seeming the more solitary and helpless because young and a woman. Thus much, and not that she was comedy and a lady, March saw before he sprang to his feet and faced her respectfully.
 Beg pardonI but can be of use? It will give me pleasure if you will allow me'-catching sight in the doorway of the one in whose behalf she had spoken, an arch smile-respectful still-lighted up his honest countenance-" to make amends for my awkwardness awhile ago."
 He was society man, and might have been aware how unconventional was the offer. He palliated the solecism in de- scribing the incident at home by saying that he saw in every elderly woman his mother, in young one, his only sister.
 Thank youl if you will be so kind, '" accepting the proposal as simply as it had been made. 'I could bring her in myself, but she does not like to have me do it here."
 II should think not, indeed! One of the best uses to which a mans muscles can be put is to help the weak" rejoined March, heartily. S
 A gleam crossed the unchildish visage of the cripple when he stopped to lift her. She recognized him, but offered no

verbal remark then, or when he depos- ited the light burden in the chair set for her by waiter more humane, or less driven than his testy comrade.
 You are very good, and we are much obliged to you," the guardian said, with little bow of acknowledgement which he took as dismissal also, withdrawing to his own place. ''Set the table for seven-please," he heard her continue to the waiter, business-like and quiet, ''and reserve another seat at that ta- ble"-designating one remote from the larger-"for gentleman who will come in by and by. There is a man, too, for whom wish to order luncheon at the counter in that room. He can get good meal and be comfortable there, suppose?"
 "A travelling party of nine" thought March, apparently intent upon the depths of his soup tureen. With this girl as courier, yet she mentioned two men!'
 The family filed in while he specu- lated. Twin-boys of twelve or thirteen, dressed exactly alike in gray jackets and knickerbockers, except that the rcd-haired one wore a blue neck-tie and tho brown-haired a scarlet; pretty, blue-eyed girl of eight, and a toddler of two, led by @ sweet-faced mother, with fair hair and faintly-tinted complexion of the china sheperdess school. The courier" assisted by the waiter, seated them all without hustle, before ad. dressing an individual, who had fol. lowed It a respectful distance, and now hung aloof, chewing the brim of bran new straw hat.
 "Homer!" said the young lady, gently and distinctly, as she might direct g child, You will get your dinner in the next room. Comer'
 By shifting his position slightly March could see her point the man to { stool and give orders for his refresh i mont. He was undersized, lean anG sandy-haired, small of feature and lout ish in carriage. His eyes had red rims and blinked necessarily, as if exces l sively weak or purhlind. When he be gan operations upon coffee and sand wiches, he gobbled voraciously. gnaw ing off mouthfuls like a greedy dog His clothes were so distressingly ready made, and accentHated his uncouthnes so unmercifully as to leave no doub that the wearing of coat and vest was novelty and an equivooal boon.
 "An odd hshr' commented March mentally. Why should civilized fam lily haul him after them like badly made kite-tail? And they are not vul garians, either"
 His eyes strayed discreetly back to tn table set for seven. The mistress of ceI emonies sat at the head, and was study ing the printed menu. It lay fiat on tn cloth that the crippled girl at her righ might read 1t with her. Their head were close together, and the gravit upon the countenance of the elder wa reflected by the shrewd elfin face. Pres ently they began to whisper, the bare thin finger of the younger of the tw tracing the lines to the extreme right c the carte.
