JASPER INDIANA. FRIDAY. APRIL II. 1891.


II has been claimed that II the tsssels
were removed from corn before they
have produced pollen. the strength thus
saved 70 the plant would be turned 70
the ovsries, aud larger amount of grain
be produced. To test the effect Of this
theory. the following trial was made
during the past season.
In the general corn field plat Of
forty EIGHT rows, with forty-two bills In
each row. was selected tor the expert
ment From each alternate row the tas-
sels were removed q soon - they ap-
peared. and before sny pollen had fallen.
The remaining rows were LEFT undis-
turbed.
The corn was Sit.ey's Pride Of the
North. planted the last week in May In
hills. three feet six inches by three feet
eight inches. on dry, grsvelly. moderate
ly fertile soil.
On July 2l the earliest tsssels began
10 make their appearances 10 the folds OF
the upper leaves. and were removed -
coon g they could be seen, and before
they were fully developed. A slight
pull wss SUFFICIENT to bresk the stalk just
below the tsssel, aud the removal was
easy and rapid.
On July 25 the plat was gone over
for the removal Of such tassels - had ap-
peared since the previous work, and q
this time BY fer the greater number OF
tasseIs we're removed
On July -, when the plat wss gone
over the third time. the effects Of the tss
ceiling became apparent in the increased
number OF silks that were visible on the
rowe from which the tassels had been re-
moved. On the I.O08 tasseIed hills there
were visible 59l silks; on the l.0O0 un'
ltasseled hills, 393 silks.
On August the plat was gone ove'
lfor the last time, but only few tassei'
were found on the very latest stalks
The prepondersnce Of visible silks on th'
tssseled rows was still manifest, there
being at this time 3.542 silks visibL
lor the tasseled rows. and but 2,o4A OF
the untasseled rows.
The corn was allowed to stand with

HOT WEATHER.

But on one thing we are all
agreed, that something to eat, we
must an have, and savory meal
will attract, when music and the
fine arts fail to satisfy. The cook
ing of a good dinner, how to broil a
tender steak or make flaky loaf of
bread, are at times more important,
and will charm away more frowns,
and bring back more smiles than
any other requirement. Suppose
you try this receipt for ''1ea Rolls:"
''Take some of your dread dough
when ready for the second kneading,
roll out about half an inch thick,
spread lightly with butter, sprinkle
with sugar, then with cinnamon,
roll as for jelly cake, slice as you
would d jelly roll, put slices closely

bake" You will find the best flour

WOMEN AS FUR BUYERS.

AS i;ule They IIrvo I;ut u Limited
Knowledge of the Goods.
Very few women have any practical
knowledge Of furs, declares the Brook
lyn Eagle. The buying and selling OF
skins have been principally the bust
ness of shrewd, sharp men, but il ono of
Brooklyn's stores there is n young woman
who can tell you at once the quality of
the skin in question She has much
practical knowledge of the goods she
handles md it very often happens that
customers ask for her, feeling great
confidence in what She tells them This
girl not only took the prize for having
sold the largest number of garments
through the holidays, but has also Just
taken very large order, perhaps the
largest single order ever taken i'll
Brooklyn or possibly New York. More
over, the garment is FOR brooklyn
woman, TO bic of cloth lined with silver
tipped Russian sable, the Innings alone
to cost one thousand four hundred and
eighty dollars. 1t is to be worn next
winter. 1t is wcll-known fact that
the price of frrs is continually on the
increase. a buyer of skins says that
he has just paid fifteen thousand dol
lars for the same number Of skins
which last year at the same time cost
the firm only eight thousand dollars.
AT this rate furs will soon be great
luxury. They ere not so cxtravagant
however. as it 1T first appears, for often
Innings or sets we'll kept, gro handed
down as hehlooins through several gen
crations. y woman who took her grand
mothers two sets of minl-tfppct, nufP
and cutfs-and made them into a fancy
floor mat, was inclined TO regret the pro-
ceedng when told the first of the winter
mink was to be fashionable, but mink
us wearing fur has not been a success.
The furs look quite as well made into q
hearth rug as they would have done
