10 Pack Sweet Corn.

Cook the corn on the cob the same as
for table use, then shave off as for dry
ing. Take a gallon crock, scatter a
layer of salt over the bottom, then
about two inches of corn and one inch
of salt alternately, until the crock is
full. Every layer of corn must be pack
ed down solid with potato masher or
something similar. Over the whole put
a saucer or small weight, to keep the
corn under the brine. 1t will keep thus
until corn comes again, as fresh and
sweet as when first put up. When
wanted for use, it is better to take out
the corn, rinse with cold water several
times, to take out salt, and let soak over
night. When sufficiently freshened.
cook as fresh corn, adding little sugar.

except the dining room, usually kept

to have fitted bookcases in oak or wal

half way to form dado, the top shelf
being furnished with handsome mold

again, they are separate pieces and for
valuable or rare books are finished with
glass doors. With the Sheraton de-

Prices Too High.

One Of the causes for loss in the cat
tie feeding business is not difficult to
find, and it would be well to give this
subject careful consideration in cal
culating the chances for profit. An
"article we'll bought is half sold'' is an
old adage among merchants, and it is
alike applicable in the business of cat
tie feeding. OF late, stock cattle and
feeders have commanded prices out
Of all proportion to the price obtained
for the finished article, and it has been
impossible, even with cheap food and
careful feeding, to realize much profit
from the investment. Unfortunately,
a large proportion of both stockers and
feeders offered for sale are not of the
best quality and such cattle must be
bought cheap or loss in the feed lot is
inevitable.
When cattle are we'll bred and have
individual merit there is far less risk
incurred in purchasing, even if the
price is somewhat high, for with such
cattle we'll finished price close to the
top can be confidently anticipated. But
with the i'll bred steer, lacking style,
the most careful feeding can never
make amends for what should have
been secured by breeding, and such
cattle prove dear at almost any price.
1t is sheer folly to embark in the cat
tie feeding business making calcula-
tons, as feeders often do, upon ad-
vanced prices when the cattle are ready
ever be successful by buying above
the market in anticipation of rise in
values, and the feeding Of cattle, TO
be successful, must be conducted on
sound business principles.

Increase of Potato Rot.

Wherever potatoes are largely grown
the rot is apt to increase. This it a
natural result. as there are more
chances in large acreage for some of
the rot fungus to be kept through the
winter, and by being fed to stock get
ting into the manure heap. Owing
to the cheapness of potatoes a good
many last winter were fed to stock or
thrown away altogether. In either
case the result is likely to be an in
crease in potato rot in that locality
this year.

hoof simply pared or cut to fit. 1t is
nailed on in the ordinary way. An
additional advantage of the rubber sole
is that it will give the horse firmer
hold upon wet and treacherous pave

purchase, enable him to go up or come
down steep hills with a heavy load far
more easily than at present.

The cap must contain two holes which

night, fill the water tank, and the last
thing before going to bed put the fire

remove it from the tank and store in
some dry place. If properly taken
care of, so that it will not rust, it will
last for several years. Any kind of
fuel can be used, and it is surprising
how little it takes. For removing the

No better use of skim milk can be
made than to feed it to poultry, either

generally fed in hot weather as curd,
which enables it to be eaten clean and
without waste. A mixture of curd
and wheat bran is excellent for hens
when moulting, as both the curd and
the bran contain the nutrition required
to grow a new crop of feathers.

Farm Tools.

Where are now the tools used in the
summer work in the hay and grain
harvest? If they are still in the fields
where used, or, what is just as bad,
drawn up along the roadside near the
house, it is safe to say that such q
farmers tools will be rusted out before
he has got enough out of them to pay
for their cost. A farm tool house makes
better interest on it's cost than most
farmers can get from an equal invest
ment of money. 1t should be convent
ent to the barn, and also with two
doors, so that the reaper and moving
machine may be drawn into it with a
team, and the team taken right through
on the opposite side. This will save a
great deal Of Juggling by hand to set
these heavy machines in the right
place. It is we'll to make the tool house
tight, so that with a fire it can be
made comfortable for doing work there
in winter. That will also be an excel
lent thing for the boys, testing wheth-
er they have any inclination to me-
chanics, as most American boys have.
The life bent of many boy is thus
brought out on the farm by putting
different things before him, and his
parent can then better tell what course
his education should take.

But if the Court wanted to know what
he thought as to the excellence ..of the
conditions that now surround the ohlId,
he would relate one little incident. he
didn't think they would deny it.
The father had lived with his child
in his mothers home for several months.
The mother has no father or mother.
She has lived in the fifth story OF the
Falmouth Hotel in one room. Would the
child of seven years prefer the house OF
Mrs. Philip Henry Brown or that one
room in the Falmouth? 1t wasn't fair
to consult the child's wishes.
Last Christmas the child came to It's
mother, who had there Christmas tree
for it with few simple gifts on it,
The mother said at parting: NOW,
baby, you better take your doll home in
your arms"
The little girl replied, "No, papa told
me not to bring home anything that you
gave me. "
The little child couldn't take into that
house where the influences are so holy
and beneficial any token of its mothers
affection.
Mrs. Brown whispered to Mr.. Rand,
and the latter said, "Mrs. Brown tells
me that the child said she would be pun
ished if she took home such gifts.
In regard to the intimation that Mrs.
Brown would take the child to New
York, Mr. Rand said that that was her
wish. 1t was simply refinement OF
cruelty to restrain her here. II the child
couldn't go with her to New York she
might as we'll not have it at all.
CLOSING ARGUMENT OF MR.. CLIFF
FORD.
Mr. Clifford said in conclusion that it
was contended that the mother wanted
to go among her friends. She was lone
some here. There was GOODNESS in the
social atmosphere. He didn't know
anything about that, but he knew what
the law said about taking the child out
of the jurisdiction of the court. The
defense did not ask an exclusive custody
| of the child. They were willing that
the previous arrangements should go on,
under such conditions as the Judge
should decide
| Judge Strout said that he desired to
| see the child. His Judgment needn't be
necessarily affected but he should like TO
! see her.
He also said that he would not allow
the child to go outside the jurisdiction of
| the Court. This was practically what
| the defense wished most to accomplish,
| that is the prevention of the taking of the
child to New York by the mother.
| 1t was decided that Judge Strout should
see the child next Saturday afternoon.
