Savi: Tiir. Oi.n l'Arnrt. Never throw
nway old paper. If you havo no wish to
sell it, use it in the house. Some house
keepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many
articles of furniture, For instance, a vol
ume written by a lady who prided herself on
her experience and tact, says: "After a
stove lias been blackened, it can be kept
looking very well for a long time by rub
bing it with paper every morning. Hub
blng with paper is a much ulcer way of
keeping the outside of a tea kettle, coffee
pot and tea pot bright and clean than the
old way of washing them in suds. Uubbiug
with paper is also tho be9t way of polishing
knives, tinwaro and spoons; they shine like
new silver. For polishing mirrors, windows,
lamp chimneys, &c, paper is better than
dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better if brown paper, instead of cloth, is
tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not so
apt to mould if a piece of writing paper, cut
to fit the can, Is laid directly on tho fruit.
Paper is much better to put under a carpet
than straw. It is warmer, thinner and
makes less noiso when ono walks over it.
In the old burial ground adjoining the
Gohsenhoppen Reformed Church, in Upper
Hanover township, Pa,, is a tombstone
which bears trio inscription "A, D. Ilosina
Schultz, murdered June I t, anno 1750, Aged
29 years. For death is come up into our
windows Jer. is., 21" The scriptural quo
tation has an actual significance. The
story of the alfair is now told as a tradition.
Jler husband was away from home, and she
lightly punished a slave for some offence.
Ho made up bis mind to kill her, but n bet
ter spirit prevailed, and he went to bis
work in the field. The old story says that
while there an apparition in the form of
a white man appeared before him and said,
"Don't kill her 1" It disappeared, and a
black man came,who whispered, "Kill her!"
These two spectres confronted him alternate
ly all day, until nightfall'. Then the white
disappeared, leaving the black man, who
still kept telling him to kill her. At mid
night he seized a butcher knife, and getting
into the room through a window, ttabbed
her and fled. Thus death came up to her
through her window.
A Fable.
THE niir.OSOl'HDIt AND THE SIMPLETON".
A Simpleton, having had occasion to seat
himself, sal down on a Pin ; whereon he
made an outcry unto Jupiter. A Philoso
pher, whe happened to be holding up a
Hitching-Post In that vicinity, rebuked
him saying, "I can tell you how to avoid
hurting yourself by sitting down on Pins,
and will, if you will set them up." The
Simpleton eagerly accepted the OfTer, the
Philosopher swallowed four fingers of the
Jtum which perisheth, and replied, "Never
sit down." lie subsequently acquired a
vast Fortune by advertising for Agents ; to
whom he guaranteed $77 a Week 'or light
and easy Employment at their Homes.
Moral. The Wise Man saitb, "There

A HEROioHns. There wasapathetie scene
at a railway crossing in Paterson, N. J., the
other day. An old hen with a large brood
of chickens was crossing the track in front
of an approaching train. The mother got
safely over, but the chickens loitered behind
until the locomotive was almost Upon them.
The mother, with hovering wings and open
bill, ran upon the track and began to drive
them off, one by one, by sheer force. Sev
eral of them she got clear of tho track in
this way, but several of them ran up the
track instead of from it. Tho old hen fol
lowed, trying to save them, but without
avail, and the engineer ran into them all,
killing the hen and seven of her chickens,
whose lives she was trying to save.
"Canada." Tho origin of the word
"Canada" is curious enough. Tho Span
iards visited that country previous to the
French, and made particular search for gsld
and silver, and, finding none, they often
said nmong themselves, "Ac.i nada" There
is nothing here. The Indians, who watched
closely, learned this sentenco and its mean
in?. The French arrived, and the Indians,
who wanted none of their company, and
supposed they also were Spaniards como on
the same errand, were anxious to inform
them in the Spanish sentence, "Aca nada."
.The French, who knew less of Spanish than
the Indians, supposed this incessantly re
curring sound was the name of the country,
and gave it the name of "Canada," which it
has borne ever since.
The Norfolk county (Mass.) Oatetle vouch
ca for the truth of the following: Two
drummers, agents respectively for rival
blacking and mucilage, were in Hyde Park
on Thursday last, drumming up trade,
They encountered each other In Mr. Miles'
grocery store, in tho Town Hall building,
and while advocating tho merits of their
wares one man hinted that the other's art!
cles contained an acid Injurious to leather.
The Insinuation was indignantly repelled.
and the agent offered a bet of $5 to $2 that
it was not bo, and to prove bis sincerity he
wouiu eat ttie contents ot one box and wash
it down with a bottle of mucilage. The bet
was taken. Calling for two pilot biscuits he
sandwiched the blacking between them and
without flinching, ate the whole, and as a
stimulant drank tho contents of a bottle of
mucilage. The spectators looked to see
startling developments, but the man coolly
took up his $2, and with a bland smile took
the grocer's order for several grom of black.
Ing.
A sheep raiser in Pope Valley, Cal., sold
nn tiocic to a inau living In the adjacent val
ley or lierryessa, ten miles distant. Soon
after, the former missed the dog which had
always assUted him in herding the sheep,
ana searched lor liim in vain. He was
valuable dog, and his loss was duly mourned
lor a couple or days, when to his master's as
toniahment, ho came from lierryessa with
the whole flock of sheep, which he had
brought safely home again.
Agricultural.
Shrinkage nf Corn.
Hlverso opinions aro often expressed in
relation In the loss In bulk and weight nl
com, from husking time till the following
summer or autumn. Several years ago wo
performed a series of experiments bearing
on this subject, nnd reached several conclu
sions, which farmers generally should under
stand. We found tho results to vary with
the dryness or dampness of tho autumn, and
tho degree of ripeness in the corn at tho
tlmo of husking. Tho condition of the corn
will vary considerably In different parts of
the field, or in different cars in the same lull.
It is essential then, that a fair average bo
taken. Tho following aro somo of tho re
sults: Corn In tho car, after an unusually damp
season, was weighed the hrstot January,
and by tho following October had lost one-
fifth part of its bulk.
The weight of corn in tho car of tho north
ern eight-rowed, varied all tho way from (IS
to 75 pounds, to yield a shelled bushel of GO
pounds. Ears with small cobs, well dried,
afforded scarcely 8 pounds of cobs to tho
bushel. With larger cobs, freshly husked,
they may weigh 12 to 13 pounds. A moist
cob is much heavier than a dry one. Farm
ers who sell corn In the car should know
the amount of loss from drying. As a gen
eral rule a dollar per bushel for com in the
ear in summer is no better than 75 cents at
husking time.
Sold in the car, it should always be weigh
ed, not measured. We found that a full,
compact, heaped half bushel of moderate
sized eight-rowed ears, contained 5G cars,
weighing 24 pounds. Thrown in loosely and
heaped, there were only 44 ears, weighing
19 pounds.
Shelled grain, shrinks in bulk nnd loses
in weight by long drying. In one case it lost
one-twentieth of its bulk and one-eighth ef
its weight in three weeks, in a room heated
with a stove. After somo months it shrank
in bulk from its original condition as six is
to seven, nnd lost in weight bo as to be as
five Is to six. Other experiments in cold
rooms nearly correspond with this in results.
It would thereforo bo better to sell shelled
corn early in winter at eighty cents than tho
following summer at one dollar. With
gourd-seed or dent corn tho results may be
different, and they always vary some with
seasons. Wheat loses much less by drying
than corn does. Country Gentleman.
Ears of Swine.
A breeder, writing in the Iowa Prextucer
says : It Beems to mo that there is enough
in this subject to engage the attention of
those employed in the improvement of swine
in this country. Ono objection made to the
Berkshire is that tboy are too nervous. This
is true of somo individuals of the Berkshire
family, but does not hold good as a univer
sal rule. It has been and probably now is
practiced by some, to breed for small, upright
ears. That a small, upright ear la a mark of
beauty, I will admit, but after close observa
tion for a number of years, I am satisfied
that this style of car is indicative of a ner-
ous, restless disposition, a thing not desira
ble in any animal, especially in a hog. It
is necessary that a hog should be docile and
of a quiet disposition whose natural inclina
tion is to take on fat. On the other hand
breeders may run to extremes on the sido of
large ears. I think that this has been done
by breeders of Poland and China swine.
There is no sensible reason for a hog's ears
hanging down over his eyes so as to obscure
is vision. Such hogs often labor under
continual fear because they are nearly blind
ed by their enormous ears. Now it seems
to me that these extremes should be avoid
ed. Let the Poland and China breeders
breed for a medium ear, and the Berkshire
breeders be les3 anxious for small, upright
ears, and I think both breeds will be Improv
ed in this regard.
Corn Fodder.
If there is any crop on the farm that is of
moro benefit in times of drought than green
fodder, I would very much like to know
what it is. Let me give you our plan of
raising it. About the 1st of May select a
good clean piece of land, in size according
to the number of cows kept. Plough thor
oughly, harrow level, strike out furrows two
feet apart. Use either barnyard manure or
fertilizers in tho rows. Sow the corn quite
thickly (sweet corn is the best). After it
has come up one or two inches, run over it
ifh the smoothing barrow. Then, in tho
course ofa week or nine days, run the culti-
ator between tho rows; keep the ground
level. When it is time to harvest your cron.
raise the knives two or three inches on your
reaper, cut two rows at a time, let tlie bun
dies lay for a day, then bind up (not tight.
ly.) When shocking up put about twenty
bundles together. In the course of a week
ring two shocks together. You will not
have any trouble about heating or mold. If
wanting to draw in any large quantity wo
build small stacks with poles or rails laid
across every two or three courses. If put in
barns or buildings that aro reasonably tight
will be best to stand them on the butt
ends. This is our mode. There may be a
better way ; if bo, I would like to hear from
some of your correspondents. For the sake
ofa little extra work no farmer need have
his milch cows shrink their milk. Thero is
no wast) if properly cured and handled. The
amount of land taken cannot produce more
provender for the same amount of labor.
Tlie Caterpillar.
We hope every farmer will tako cood care
to keep down tlie caterpillar. For the past
two years we have been troubled less than
formerly and with a little care now we can
keep pretty well clear of this pest in our
orchards. A lonu pole with a brush on
the end is one of the most convenient
things to use. Some take the trouble to
dip the brush into kerosene or crude rock oil
which makes a little more comnlete work.
Jtwiupay to destroy all the nests on the
wild cherry trees along the road. The more
you kill this year the less you will have
next. J he Jtouyhman.
A lady correspondent of a Southern na.
per, writing lrora Arkansas, gives the fol-
lowing recipe to increase the How of milk in
a cow. She says; "Tepid water, slightly
"lUfd, given twice a day will increase the
How of milk one-third; if the cow will not
drink at first trial scatter a handful of bran
or meal over the top of it. They soon be'
come very fond of it, and will drink all you
give tnemi i irieu wis plan three years ago
witn reflect success. I had only one cow
and she was of the common scrub stock of
the county, and after she began to drink th
water, prepared as above, she furnished me
twite a day two ordinary water-buckets full
ot milk, and by feeding a little corn boiled
with cotton seed the milk yielded buttei
enough to supply my table bountifully and
leave me a lew pounds to sell every week,
a gave iier mree gallons of water twice
'day."
