OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
NUTRrrrvE VALUE OF coRScoBs.

NUTRITfVE VALUE OF C0RSC0B5.
The numerous and heretofore valueess corn
cob, which the farmers throw on the manure
pile, has been found to be of some use. The
Chemist of the Agricultural Department has
recently made an analysis of corncobs and the
result obtained showed that they contained
41.52 per cent. of nutritive matter. The analy-
sis further showed that there was nothing
whatever of an injurious nature contained in
the innutritious matter.
The nutritious matter is the same as is found
in large per cent. of our best grains. This
matter is rendered ready for use by having the
cob ground into meal and fed like bran.
TWO QUESTIONS.
Kindly inform me. through the paper, some
good way of preserving eggs during the Sum-
mer Also. what to do TO prevent clu broot in
cabbage. Ii. SHEEHaN, Allegany N. Y.
There are many ways Of preserving eggs for
a certain length of time, and whatever way is
tried the eggs must be used as quickly as posi-
bic after they are taken out of the matter
which preserves them. Coating the shell with
melted wax or tallow, packing in chat, etc,
lining and sulphuring them has been used
with more or less success. Tho National Butter,
Cheese and Egg Associations method of pre-
serving eggs is to tako one bushel of stone
lime, eight quarts of SALT and $50 quarts of
water. Stake the lime with some of the water,
then add the balance of il and the salt, and let
the mixture settle. Fill cask or vat to a
depth of ID inches, and put in layer of eggs
about ono foot deep, then pour over them some
of the settings that is little milky in appear
ance. The object of this is to have tho limy
particles drawn into the pores of the shell and
seal them. Continue in this manner until the
vessel is filed. Saicylie acid is also good to use
for the preserving of eggs. 1t can DO obtained
at any druggists. Dissolve tablespoonful in a
gallon of boiling water. Fill stone jar with
eggs, and then pour this mixture over them,
taking care that the eggs are entirely sub
merged. A wooden casll may be used in place
of tho stone jar, but in no case should metal be
used, and cover should be placed over the
vessel used to keep out the dust. If kept in
cool place this preparation will be good for
three months.
Lime is the only thing which is a sure pre-
ventive for clubroot. The popular mistake is
that clubroot is due to wet land, hot manure,
etc. This is not so. The perfect insect deposits
its eggs in the soil, which remain undeyeloped
until the next season, when they are Matched
and attack the roots of the cabbage plant, and
thus bring ON the disease. The excrescence
known as clubroot, when examined, is found to
contain small, whitish grub-lise lava. If
limo be used at the rate of $50 bushels to the
acre just after blowing it will be found to be
sure preventive.

GOOD LOCATIONS.
A REPORT FROM NEBRASKA.


Spring is late and wet, but all the small grain
is in and growing nicely. Flowing for corn
is the order now. Fall wheat is in splendid
shape; never was better. A larger acreage OF
corn will be planted this year than usual. Come
West, boys, if you want to prosper and get good
and cheap homes. Plenty of good lands can be
bought at fair figures. This is getting to be one
of the finest fruit countries in the West. Any
questions will be gladly answered by an old
comrade.-H w. FAY, Henderson, Neb.

in the world than in the valleys in the mount

PROGRESS AND PATRIOTISM.

FRIESDs OF THE c. C: Miss Gates advocated
emitting requests for letters from c. c. columns
aud proposed that members should write to those
IN localities where correspondents were desired.
As most members having letters published have
ali the correspondents they desire, this plan would
not be success. Another Minnesota member
complained OF not receiving enough answers to
his request. Why not write to those who have
their names published, instead of sending in your
own.
If we ever secure that extra space p-,itioned for
some time ago, and those desiring correspondents
would write good letter FOR publication, thereby
proving their ability. they would have need TO

they decided to leave, and started for
some of the towns on the santa Fe rail-
road. They were overtaken by the recent
blizzard and took refuge In an old deserted
wagon shed near Lexington.
AS j. c. Johnson, q citizen of that place,
was passing along the road near the hut
in which the Burnetts were his attention
was attracted by q groan, and entering
the house he found huddled In one
corner a man, his wife and Ave
small children, apparently ALI in
a perishing condition from the intense
cold. Their only covering was .
wagon cover and an old quilt. One OF the
family, who was conscious, stated that
they had been there four days, with no
fire and but little food. The entire family
was taken with 10 grippe, which aggra-
waited by exposure TO the wintry elements,
terminated In pneumonia In the worst

Many well known members Of the
dramatic profession were present.
including Mr.. Bancroft, Mr.. Charles
Wyndham, manager Of the Criterion
theater; Mr.. Beerbohm Tree, manager Of
the Haymsrket theater; Mrs. Langtry and
other equally celebrated artists. The sub
iect OF Mr.. Herkimer's lecture was
Scenic Anomalies of the Modern
Stage" He referred in q humorous man
ner to ''square-cornered ornaments"
''perpendicularly- rising moons' and
%"wobbling Kansas waves" He advocat-
Cd tho adjustment Of footlights in favor
,f groups Of lights on q level with the
faces Of the actors. These lights, he said,
Ihould be placed on each side OF the audi
torium about ten feet from the proscen-
ium. He maintained that a contracting
and expanding ~proscenium, worked by one
man, could easily be fitted In all theaters
70 that novels of the magnitude
1f a palace would no logger offend the
aye. The conductor of the orchestra and
the orchestra itself should be below the
line Of sight, as was the case in Wagner's
tbeater In Bayreuth. which, Mr.. Herkimer
declared, was his idea OF what a play
house should be. Mr.. Henry Irving, he
said, deserved the thank of the commu.
uity for his matchless staging of all his
productions.
