I.oiled Corn in Err.

Nothing can be more delicious than
fresh ears of corn boiled in salt water
until just done, then eaten, if the teeth
allow, smoking hot and direct from
the cob. with a liberal application of
the sweetest butter. salt and pepper.
These should be mixed in proper pro
portions before being applied to the
grain. and if put on in small quaint
ties, will not make the greasy drip
that causes some people to object TO
eating corn in this way. Indeed, so
dainty and reliShable is the flavor that
one cannot wonder ut the story of the
son Of the Emerald Isle who. it is said
after finishing his first ear of green
corn gently placed the cob on a plate,
and, with a most winning smile and
bow. extended it and begged the lady
of the house to "plaze to put some
more of those delicious barries upon

Prof. H. w. Wiley of the chemistry
division Of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, has been expert
menting on the preparation of meat for
eating, and here are some OF his con-
clusions Meats should never be
eaten until they have rlpened, like
game, and this process is calculated to
consume about three weeks" He says
that a chicken should be hung out of a.
window, head down, until the head
falls off, when it is ripe for eating,
and that fish and eggs should be eaten
the day they are taken, although fish,
if frozen on the day caught will be
good whenever taken from the ice.
But the notion that fish is brain food
is all wrong. The phosphorus needed
by the brain comes from eggs and
vegetables.

Whether each farmer should deter
mine to breed his own hogs or not he
should nevertheless raise his pork at
home. He may decide that it is best
to buy q pair of good looking pigs at
the beginning of each year, confine
them in close quarters and push them
through the year. There is always a
quantity of Stops and scraps from the
kitchen which can be utilized by the
growing pigs that might otherwise go
to waste. Any farmer can raise 600
pounds of pork every year. and so
cheaply as to hardly feel the cost be-
yond the little time devoted each day
to the care of the pigs in the pen. Yet
the same amount of cured meat pur-
chased from his merchant would cost
him between forty and fifty dollars.

A mine of sheep manure sounds
