1t is of primary Importance to know
at what stage corn should be cut to
secure the best results. says Farming.
1t is also necessary that a careful
study be made as to how rapidly nu-
triment is stored up in the corn plant
and when the maximum amount is
reached. When corn is fully tassled,
it contains but eight-tenths Of ton
of dry matter per acre, or one-ffth
what it contains when fully ripe.
When in milk it contains nearly three
times as much dry matter as when
fully tasseled. Only seventeen days
were occupied in passing from the
milk to the glazing stage, yet in this
time there was an increase in the dry
matter of 1.3 tons per acre. This
shows the great advantage of letting
the corn stand until the kernels are
glazed. After this period, the increase
in dry matter is but slight.

Best Treatment for Old Floors.

Amy floor no matter how old. can be
put i'll fairly good condition by filling,
staining and polishing. If one can af-
ford it, this work should be done by a
practical workman, who understands
his business, but it is perfectly posi-
BILE for woman to do it herself, and
do it well, too, if she does not mind
baCk-breaking motion and unlimited
smeariness and dirt.
The first thing in doing up one of these

ways be treated professionally to see
that it is perfectly smooth ana clean.
If it has been already painted or var

The floor should be rubbed smooth
with steel wool, dipped in Il bucket of
warm water III which soapine has been
dissolved. Do board at a time. This
will cut all grease and art. When the
floor has been gone over. remove the dust.
and if there are any cracks fill them with
putty.
The floor is now ready for the filler.
This may be purchased from any paint

apply. 1t may have little color mixed
in it. or some of the stain. to initiate any
wood desired, may be used.

When the floor is finished close the

If you do not use a weighted brush n

cloth and let it stand an hour or so
to dry. Then polish with the weighted

Rather than this many heusekeepers
prefer to finish their floors with coat

Each gentleman On arriving receives
a slip of paper on which is written the
name of some lady in the company, and.
when the fun is in readiness the part
ners thus appointed must sit opposite
each other and draw each others like
neSseS.
At the end of ten minutes the 2or-

into the victims face by mighty wind
soon reduced the parasol to pulp, and
when the prize winner reached the sub
way she held but a sorry article in her
benumbed hand. The covert smiles on
the faces of the passengers were hard to
