save Your Corn for winter.

Corn will not provide the hens with
egg material. We are aware that many
readers will smile when we tell them
that corn should not be fed 10 hens in
the summer; but facts are stubborn, for
corn is mostly starch, and If the hen is
to derive the materials from corn for the
production of eggs, sac will have TO eat
a quantity so large as to tax her fullest
capacity, the result being that she Is

Other Worlds Than Ours.

By means of the spectroscopc very
wonderful discovery has been made re-
speeding Sirius. Astronomers have no
ticcd that this star was in rapid motion
through space, rs it was found that year
by year il was changing lis position in
the heavens, travcrsing in about fifteen
hundred years space equal TO the APP
parent diameter of the moon, ut Il velocity
of no less than twenty miles per second.
Ol course, by actual observation the only
motion capable OF being detected would
be that which was square to the line oil
sight, SO that although Sirius appears to
us to move across the heavens, he may
really be travelling in Il slanting direc-
ton, either toward or from us. NJ one
would ever have expected to be able to
tell whether star was approaching to or
rcccdin@ from us, yet even this seemingly
insoivablc problem has of late years been
accomplished by the spcctroscope DR..
llu%glns, oar greatest authority ON this
subject, having identified certain lines in
the spectrum OF Sirius as those OF hydro
gen, found on comparison that these
were displaced III such manner us to
inlicaat:s Int the star was rcccding from
us. 1t has been estimated that this re-
cession, combined with the thwart mo-
ton OF twenty miles per second, gives rs
the actual movement Of Sirius in space Il
speed of about thirty-threc miles per
second.
Those, then. constitute some OF the
chief items of information about Sirius ut
present within our knowledge.
There seems to be no reason to doubt
that, i'll common with other suns, he has
his system of planets circling round him
after the manner Of our own sun; and
what Il system! Vast ms ours appears, it
is dwarfcd into insigniiicance compared
with Il system whose rolling orb is 5000
times larger than that which does duty
for us. There seems, also, no reason to
doubt that these planets are intended to
he the abode of life; it may be that ut
the present moment none of them present
any signs of life, but / think we may
safely infer without imp:oba5ility that
each one of those worlds has Il destined
period in its development during which
life, similar to that which now prevails
on our planet, would be in existence.
What n world such one would be, in
size perhaps not inferior to that of our
sun, himself million times larger than
our earth; and it may be that rs this
Sirius world is so vastly superior to ours
in size its inhabitants would be on Il
scale in proportion to its dimensions, a
race of beings of such intellect and civil
ization compared with whom we are but
sayages. = ChamJers's Journal.

Strange Freak Of Nature.

One of the most remarkable freaks of

strange being is called Joe, and it is diff
ficult to tell whether the animal is bear
or an Indian. The uncouth being is of
prodigious size and strength, with limbs
we'll formed, except that the ankles turn
out. giving the feet the appearance Of
paws. The face and head is shaped very
nearly like that of a grizzly bear. When
i'll motion he walks on all fours with the
peculiar sidelong awkward motion of n
bear. He cannot talk, but gives vent to
growls like bear. When cnragcd he
scizes the object of his wrath in q death
like hug. Thus far he is to all intcnts
and purposes a bear. But his parents
are Indians, his associates are Indians,
he loves red blankets and Indian trinkcts,
and his food is Indian food. Joe is well
known throughout both British Column,

RAISING IIoRsERADrsu.

Here, where horseradsh is grown
largely Tor market, we have deep allu-
vial soil, free from stone or clay-a good
sandy loan. The custom is to raise the
crop on the same land year after wear, rs
the soil is not easily rid of the rootlets
that break off and remain, sprouting in
spring sometimes from the bottom of the
furrow where the pillow cut them off in
the fall. We never raise the first crop
on sod, but always after other crops.
Moisture is necessary, but not damp
soil. We use horse manure, ten cords
per acre, plowed in fall or spring and
narrowed we'll. Rows are three feet
apart aud sets two feet apart in the
row. The sets are obtained in this way !:
When crop of radish is gathered in fall
the roots arc trimmed of ''spraglcs, -
leaving the marketable root ready for
sale; this is done in the field usually, or
it can be done under cover and shelter
if the weather be cold or stormy. These
small rootlets, onc-half to one fourth inch
through, sets for next seasons crop,
are kept over winter by buryIng in the
ground, where only they will preserve
the freshness necessary to perfect growth
A sett is a root three to eight inches long,
and should be dropped in hole made
with crowbar of the right depth to
leave the top of the root two inches be-
low the surface; fill the soil around the
sett, and leave it to start, which it will
do in four to six weeks. This work OF
planting in spring is sometimes expc-
dited by laying the sets along in every
third furrow, and then blowing the soil
upon them. The large roots should not
be used to propagate from, either by
slicing, quartcring, or even by planting
the crown; the root when grown take:
its shape from the set; and root dug
after one seasons growth should BIZ

PREPARING SOD GROUND FOR CORN.


Leaving out Of consideration the cues
! ton OF blowing sod in the fall. if it is
plowed in the spring, it is best done rs
soon as the ground is in good condition.
Sod ground can he plowed earlier than
faliow. stubble Or corn stalk ground, and
the sod will have none too long to par
! italy decompose before the corn is
planted.
y good plow for stubblc or fnllow land
is orc that moves the firrow-slicc with
considerable force, breaking il up; but
( such plow is not II fit one for sud
ground. for it will leave parts of the fur

other parts standing on edge. The har-
row will thea leave many pieces with the
grass up. 70 grow again. The best pillow
ioT 500 IS one that turns the furrow-slicc
completely upside down, and no more,
without breaking it. Then the plowcd
ground can be fined without bringing
grass to the surface TO grow again
Sod requires more work than Subtle
to put i'll good condition for the seed.
and the loss from planting on sod not
we'll prepared is greater than on stubble.
Unless the ground is thoroughly worked
there will be creviccs among and beneath
the sods, which will aggravate the effects
of both drouth aud flood. The pieces of

ton, and ii one Of these pieces is beneath
Il hill the corn will likely be torn up by
the cnltivator. Neither will the sod be
50 well dccomposed and feed the crop.
Another reason for careful preparation
OF the SOL is that it is often infested
with cut worms and other worms. The
more the ground is stirred, the more of
these will he destroyed; and planting
may safely he deferred until tie cut.
worms have passed their voracious period
and will do little damage. Quite fire.
quently sod ground, and especially Glow
cr-soo ground, contains SO many cut
worms that it is not advisable to plant it
until quite late. Only poor stand will
remain. Last spring allowed forty
