ENsILAeE For STEERS.

lie Grand Cannon, in some remarks
before the New York farmers, gives
valuable information on his success in
fattening steers with the assistance of
ensilage. He took three sets of steers,
ninety animals in each lot. One lot was
allowed to run out of doors all winter
just as the average Vermont farmer treats
his steers. The two other lots were put
under cover and fed alike, except that
one lot got ensilage aud the other peck
of mangels per head day. In the
spring the butcher was allowed to select
fifty head at six cents pound. He took
every head of the fifty from out of the
ensilage fed lot, and would not give five
cents pound for the others. Not only
were the ensilage lot carried through the
winter cheaper than the others, but they
improved so much in quality that they
readily sold better. This is the first
contrast we have seen in feeding for beef
between ensilage and roots. Can it be
possible that the former is so much
superior to the latterl We have always
been told that the English, the greatest
feeders in the world, pin all their faith
to roots, and here ensilage knocks them
out the first time. Cannot some of the
stations continue this experiment2-

Enormous pemnnd for Eggs.

An egg merchant, who goes from house
to house buying eggs told US a few days
since that he expected to pay 90 cents doz-
en- for eggs before Christmas.
Many persons who keep hens will prob
ably not have an egg to sell when III y reach
fifty cents. Some one may ask, "wnat can
a body do when the peshy old hens stop lay
ing, and the pullets refuse to begin until
springg Why do ms VIM. H. Yeomans, OF

and in three months laid S5S eggs. Part OF

below zero, and my hens were laying dozen
eggs day, while my neighbors (who did not
use the POWDER were getting none. / now,

The Seamless Boat.

There is a growing demand for the
seamless boat, which seems to be able to
stand any amount of rough work. This
boat is pressed out of an ingot Of steel
and shaped by hydraulic power, and it
fulflls all the requirements of an ordin.
ary boat in remarkably ingenious man
ncr. 1t is claimed for these boats that
they will last twice as long as wooden
ones, that there is less danger OF their
capsizing and that they are less liable to
be affected by changes Of climate. The
method by which the seamless boat is
constructed is a larger application of the
method which has long been used in this
country for manufacturing cooking uten-
sils and other articles of small dimen-
sions. Chicago Nei6S.

now ALCOHOL AFFECTS THE BODY.

1t has been discovered that the toxic action
OF alcohol in large doses primarily affects
the cerebral lobes after which the other
parts Of the cerebro spinal system are con-
secutively involved, till in the stage Of dea |
drunkenness the only parts not invaded by
benumbing paralysis arc those automatic
centres in the medulla oblongata, which
regulate and maintain the circulation and
respiration. Even these centres are not
wholly unaffected; the paralysis of these, as
of the other sections OF the cerebro spinal
system, varies in its incompleteness aud at
times becomes complete, the coma of drunk
enness terminating in death. More usually
the intoxicant is gradually eliminated and
the individual is restored to Consciousness

POPCORN.

Popcorn grows well under much the
same conditions of soil and climate as
are required for the field and garden
corns, but should be planted apart from
either to prevent intermixing. The ears
should remain on the stalks until the
kernels are entirely mature and should
be thoroughly air-dried aud preserved in
that condition until wanted for use. As
its bulk increases enormously by the
popping no family will require large
amount of ears, but care should be taken
not to store them in damp place. One
way in which they may be preserved is
by stripping off most of the outer husks
and drawing back a few of the inner
ones and laying them together in punches
of convenient size for hanging up.
Where this is not practiced, the ears,
either wholly or partly husked, may be
put into baskets and hang suspended in
the courthouse or barn or from the cell
ing of any dry storage room. For per-
feet popping, corn should be a year or
more old and care should be taken to
keep it where mice cannot reach it, and
suspending'it in some of the ways pointed
out will secure the two essentials of a
thorough air drying and protection from
the depredations of the small rodents
