would lose her markets In South America. Asia
and even Europe. and the American bottoms would

what can be done. I have seen some
very expensive machinery in use, also
some that is very cheap.
He will want a derrick something

This can be made mostly Of wood, or any
old machine roller that is strong enough

be wrapped around this roller raises
the drill, and then when you slack it
the drill will fall. One man must

Farmers as general rule are not
careful enough in their selection and
care of corn for seed. MANY practice
storing theirseea di165rn in an open corn
crib before It is thoroughly dry. The
germ of corn being porous, absorbs
moisture and being subject to hard
freezing during the winter. As Il
result the germ is partially or wholly
destroyed and the chances of its grow.
ing under the most favorable circum.
stances is very limited. An authority
says while husking the best ears
should be saved and placed in a dry
loom and cured by fire drying. Corn
treated in this way is sure to grow
and make a vigorous and healthy
growth.-Drovers Journal.

A FEEDING EXPERIMENT.
Why the Professors Chickens Died, On
After the Other.


After the Other.
This may not be new, but it was
new to the reporter who overheard it
on Boston car, so it is likely that
there are others who have never heard
it. The young man who told it was
evidently a collegian, as was his COM
panion:
81 heard good one on Prof. -,
of Andover," he said.
"What was it ?" queried the other.
"Well, you know he was married
during the winter and went to house
keeping just outside the village. Last
spring he thought he would add few
hens to his stock; he already had a
dog. He set a couple of hens, and in
time had two large broods of chickens.
He was veryRToud of them, but in a
week or so TIE chickens began to die.
He called in neighbor to look at the
chickens and offer advice. They were
certainly pretty scaly lot of chickens
that the neighbor viewed. They were
skinny looking and apparently with
out ambition.
"'What did yer feed emp asked
the ncighbor, after brief survey.

fessor, MS though he didn't hear Alright.

Cost of Handling Ear Corn,

\ gentleman from the country says
that the cost of carrying ear corn one
year, or longer, is probably greater than
many figure it, on account of the
shrinkage. For instance, the cost of
1000 bushels of corn at 81 cents is $210;
interest at per cent. for a year, $14.70;
expense of crib, $40; cost of the corn at
the end of one year, $244.7O. But it is
estimated that the shrinkage will
amount to 20 per cent, or 200 bushels
therefore, there will remain but SOC
bushels to sell. So $244.70 actually rep
resents the cost of 500 bushels at the
end of one year, or fraction over &c
cents 5ushel, without figuring any.

Bulletin 80 of the Mississippi station
gives details of experiments with corn
extending through six years at that
station, and also summarizes results
obtained at 13 other stations, north,
south, east and west, covering 1857
tests of 400 varieties. The results al
the different stations arr wonderfully
alike, and they establish the following
points beyond controversy: The most
prolific white varieties out-yield the
most prolific yellow varieties; white
corn is slightly more nutritious than
yellow; there is no appreciable differ.
