BETTER THAN HUI SklNG.

Experience of Farmer Who Ran His
Corn Through ThreshiDg Machine.
One corngrower of TompkiDs county,
N. Y, announces that he is entirely
done with the tedious process of huss-.
ing corn, and several neighbors will
probably follow his example. He had
seven acres of corn, which, when cut
and we'll cured, he hauled to the barn.
Four men ran it through threshing
machine, at the rate of about two acres
an hour The shelled grain was thrown
on the barn floor, shovelled over few
times during two or three weeks, and
then put in bins. The machine carrier
was removed, the shredded stalks
dropped on the floor and were pitched
into NOW. Both horses and cattle
now prefer this nicely prepared fodder
to the best hay. Apparently, there
can be but one possible difficulty in the
way of thus treating shock corn every
year. There might be wet fall, when
it would not cure well, and the shred
ded fodder be apt to mould. But this
could be obviated, for at threshing
time barns are usually empty and the
fodder could be spread about in several
places, and perhaps some be stacked
outside.
But to save handling so much, two
teams should draw directly from the
field, and pitch or throw by hand to
the feeder. A close estimate can be
made of the amount of labor required
per acre to cut, put up haul and thresh
corn by the new way. One man and
team will cut with reaper and throw
in gavels ten acres a day, and four
men will set it up in shocks Three
men and two teams will draw the ten
acres in half a day, and l will allow
five men to thresh it in the same time.
This makes nine days work; but for
good measure | will call it ten days
work for ten acres, just day to the
acre. Now compare this with the
tedious processes of cutting and husk-
ing by hand, handling the grain and
fodder many times, and at last running
the ears through a hand-sheller, and it
will be seen that about seventy-five
per cent. of the labor is saved. 1t may
be said by some that this cannot be
done with so little labor; but the an
swer is: 1t has been done right here. -

Only American Cotton Ties.

Many are the pages of the Congress
sional record devoted to descriptions of
the woes inflicted upon the poor cotton
planters by the duty on cotton ties. Mr..
Mills found the extent of their alleged
oppression from this source to be 35 per
cent. ad valorem and placed cotton ties
on the free list in his bill. Mr.. McKin-
lev found the same rate and raised it to
$40 cents a pound amid the renewed
lamentations of the opposition. Now,
mark the result. Not tie has been i'm
ported in over thirteen months, although
for the year ending June, 1890, we had
imported "A, 621, 533 pounds. "Ah, but"
the free trader will interpose at this
point, you developed the making of
cotton ties, a branch of manufacturing,
at the expense of the cotton grower,
who was compelled to pay more for his
cotton ties" In which the free trader
is exactly opposed to the truth. Cotton
ties have fallen 90 per cent under the
new law. Protection worked here as it
has in hundreds of other instances.
When the home market was secured to
our own manufacturers they went to
work turning out cotton ties in such
large quantities that the price went
down, while only the quality of the ties
and the savings bank accounts of the
American workingmen employed at
making them went up

WATER IN BUTTER.
New Thoughts on a Subject That Ha
Long Been Under Discussion.

New Thoughts on Subject That Has
Long Been Under Discussion.
One who writes as if he knew all
about it makes the statement that the
IL to Is per cent. of water in average
butter is water of composition" and
that a certain amount of water is alb
solutely essential to the composition of
BUTTER" and hence it is absurd to talk
about butter fat, free from water, as a
measure of butter" This loose way of
stating things would lead one to infer
that the fat of the butter is chemically
comb ined with the water in it, an alto
gether wrong impression; this water is
simply mechanically mixed with the
fat, and persistently remains there be-
cause no amount of working can get it
out, just as no amount of wringing
will make a dry towel out of a wet
one; the two cases are exactly parallel
The same writer says with apparent
good reason that milk with larger fat
globules yields drier butter than milk
with small globules, on the same
amount of working; this is reasonable,
because less water would be entangled
by the coming together of fewer large
globules to form the first little grains
of butter than by the coming together
of the larger number of small globules
necessary to form grains of the same
size. This water cannot be essential
to the flavor of the butter, or any
other quality, except that, being in
the liquid form, in among the particles
of the fat, it will be saturated with the
salt that has been worked in; thus it
may take an indirect part in this quail
ty of the butter, and it shall have a
certain degree of sadness; and yet this
is in certain sense an artificial taste;
every American student in Germany in
former days remembers with pleasure,
l doubt not, the pat of perfectly fresh,
unsalted butter that was brought with
the coffee and rolls for his breakfast

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

PRUNE the apple trees in winter
Saving off a few limbs is not prun-

The cow will drink filthy water

WHEN cow is two years old wrin-

horns AT three years this wrinkle is
fully developed. When she is five years
old another will form and after that one
will come each year. Thus her age can
be known.

the Children's sake.
One of Chicago's wealthiest men
once called at my home with his chill
dren. While we were talking | sent
the children out into the berry patch to
help themselves. The father and |
stood where we could watch them.
You ought to have seen them put
those great berries in their mouths!
They acted as though they never had
such treat before in all their lives.
The father seemed ashamed of their
greediness; but just enjoyed it. ] en-
joyed feeling that what was such a
treat to those rich children was an
everyday matter to us. Millions OF
money isn't all that makes life worth
living. Again, farmer friend of ours
has pair of beautiful twin daughters.
They grow very few berries. When
the children were perhaps nearly two
years old the father brought them tc
our house in berry time. got two
quart can of berries and put before
them. At first they hardly knew what
to make of them, but they soon fount
their way to their mouths The father
was holding one on each arm. They
were grabbing up the berries by thu
handful with both hands and fairly
stuffing them into their mouths, anC
their faces were all daubed opsr will
