The WHEELER RoUp CURE.-Take
bromo.chloralum and dilute it ONE
half with water. Inject two or three
drops in each nostril, once a day.
Give each fowl, as a drink, once a
day, two grains of bromide of potas-
sium and one grain of quinine in
tablespoonful of milk, or warm wa
ter, forcing it if necessary. Keep
the sick fowls in a warm, dry place,
where there are no cracks in the
walls to let in draughts, and, above
all, avoid top ventilation, which al
lows the cold air to blow down on
the fowls. If the eyes and face are
swollen rub them with few drops
of a mixture of one tablespoonful
each of castor oil and glycerine, to
which has been added five drops
carbolic acid and 20 drops spirits
turpentine, we'll mixed.-Poultry

The Hog Toasted.


Atthe recent meeting of the Amer
ican Poland China Record Company,
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, S. A. Clark,
of Winfield, Iowa, turned his speech
into toast as follows, which was
received with great laughter:
For four thousand years the hog
was the object of derision and con-
tempt. So intensely was he despis-
ed that to hate him was a pleasure.
So bitter was the antipathy, that
herdsmen, keepers of hogs, were
regarded a, chores" and ostracised
from society. Mankind turned up
his nose and called him unclean.
While all of Gods creation in the
animal kingdom have been worship
ped by heatben idolators, the hog
alone was supposed to have wallow-
ed so low in the mire Of corruption
and nastiness, that no tongue could
be found in heather lands to do him
reverence. No knee would bow to
worship at his shrine a wandering
vagabond, an outcast, a scavenger
left to "root hog or de-" The dev-
lis enter in, take possession of his
passions and baptize him in the sea.
But behold, amidst all this he
"saves his bacon" and lives, takes
a new "route" and "Phenix like he
rises from the ashes" He ac-
knowledges no superior. Attempt
to drive him, and he will "right
about" and stand face to face-with
any man face to face, and with the
daring bravery of Napoleon, he
will charge through solid phalanx.
Behold him, bred so fine with blood
so blue that his nose is now turned
up at all mankind. He supplies a
hungry world with meat SO sweet
and nutritious that it is sought after
alike by the rich and poor
"Ar-mour"- rich. He is fur
nishing the grease to run the ma
chinery of the world. The busy
spindles and looms hum night and
day oiled with his lard. The wheels

The germ is the most nutritious
portion of the grain. If the cob is
small it dries out quickly, and the
germ is sweet and sound, and is
relished by stock of all kind; es-

UHVWiuS IcVlSrce COrns
Mr.. James Riley, the well known
grower of Indian corn, Thorntown.
INDIANA, writes: propose to give
a plain, practical method of i'm
!provement that every farmer can
and ought to adopt, and it is this:
Select small plot of one-fourth
Ito one-half of an acre entirely away
from where any other corn will be
planted; make this plot very rich
by the application of the best fertil-
izers suitable to the soil; break we'll
and have the land in high state of
tillage; then mark out both ways,
select some choice variety of corn
that is well adapted to the locality.
Select ears enough to plant the
plot as nearly uniform as possible,
and as near the type you wish to
breed as possible; then plant four
hills and leave two; then four and
leave two, thus plant two-thirds of
the plot. Then wait until the first
planting just begins to come
through the ground; then plant one
of the two hills; wait until these
begin to come through, then plant
the remaining hills.
The object of this method of
planting is to distribute the replants
all over the plot; cult se we'll,
and as soon as the tasse4s begin to
appear 60 Though and cut all i'm
perfect and diseased stalks; all
stalks showing any signs of smut on
stalk or blade should be removed
from the plot. Also stalks that
show suckers should be cut out,
leaving nothing but the best and
most perfect stalks.
Keep this up with the replants as
we'll as the first planting. By this
method we get pedigree corn, viz:
we know to a certainty that every
ear has been fertilized by healthy,
productive stalk.
The object of the second and
third planting is to keep up the
supply of pollen to insure the COM
plete fertilization of the grains on
the ear. The first stalks that ap-
pear are the pistils from the base or
upper grains. These become fer
tilized first; then the next grains
and SO on up the ear, and the tip
grains sent out their silks or pistils
last, several de-s after the fret
grains we're f-rtil.4od.
No doubt many -a..4cIs Lave OBJ

served the outer silks dead and
dried up, while the center stalks
were still green. These are the
pistils from the tip grains, and il
the plot had all been planted at the
same time the pollen from the tas-
sells would have been dried up and
blown away, and pistils from the
tip grains be left unfertalized; the
result would be one-half at the end
of the cob with no grain on it; but
the second and third planting com
ing out later keep up a supply
of pollen till all the grains are fer
talized, thus securing a perfectly
developed ear with grain perfectly
fertilized.
Now, contrast this with the old
method of selecting seed corn in
the field. We may go to the field
and select INT large perfectly de.
veloped ear, but We have no assur-
ance how the grains on this ca,
have been bred. There are grown
in the field perhaps hundred of bar
rem stalks and very many with
smut, and the pollen from these
imperfect stalks is flying promis-
cuously all over the field; SO that
the grain of this apparently fine
ear may be fertilized with pollen
from these stalks.
Therefore, the surest way to i'm
prove corn is by the special plol
plan. AS soon as the corn is ripe.
husk and selet the best ears for
planting the field and few of the
very best ears to plant the small
plot again. By this system OF i'm
provement, inexpensive, simple and
easy, kept up for long series of
years, believe we can very large
ly breed out the nubbins, suckers,
smut, and have corn that is far
more prolific and more beautiful.
and that will command a higher
price than the common scrub corn.
In selecting the corn to begin the
improvement | would recommend a
corn that is adapted to the locality
and variety that will be sure to
mature in an ordinary year and
that will produce the largest amount
of shelled corn on the cob. A
large cobbed corn should be avoid
ed, as large cob contains so much
moisture that it will not dry out in
the fall ard when bulked in the
crib the cob would mold and sour
the germ, and this will detract from
