The Huntingdon Journal. nil 44..,„:ii ;405 tijoib(. Shrinkage of Corn. We have more than once alluded to the fact that we think iarmers who sell grain do not properly appreciate the loss by shrinkage while standing in the crib. In answer to the question of "How much does corn lessen in weight by keeping dry, when compared with its weight at time of husking ?" the superintendent of the Ex perimental Farm says : "In the fall of 1870 Thomas M. Harvey put 400 pounds of sound corn (ears) in a lathered box to test its shrinkage. It was weighed and boxed November 18, quite ripe and dry. This was late for husking, you will notice. November 22 one box was sbelled out and made 5 bushels 27* quarts by measure or 332 pounds 6 ounces, and averaged 551 ounces to the bushel ; cobr weighed 75 pounds 8} ounces, making the total loss 2 pounds 1 f ounces. The hen box was shelled March 30, following, n d made 5 bushels and nine ounces, or i pounds eight ounces, averaging 56 pounds 8* ounces per bushel ; the cobs weighed 54 pounds and 10 ounces, making a loss of 46 pounds 14 ounces, or 71 per cent. on the grain, and a loss of 11f per cent of corn and cobs. This result would have been quite different if the boxes had been fiiled with early husked, large co) - bed corn. I have had larger ears that lost 50 per cent. from the time they were first husked till dried." To this Mr. Shortlidge, of Belle fonte, adds his own experience : "1875, November 13, put in crib 55 bushels, ears weight, 1.976 pounds; 15th, do., weight 1,980; 17th do., weight, 1.970-35* pounds per bushel when cribbed. August 3, 1876, it weighed out of crib, 31} bush -014 or 1,070 pounds for each draft, put in crib. Each bushel of ears now weighed 34f pupas, making a loss in bulk 18.6 per seat. and in weight 22 6 per cent. fie says this was a shorter and plumper grain than other Chester county varieties of corn, and would probably lose less than our large-cobbed varieties. In the above experiment the corn was not shelled." Potatoes for Cows. Cows in milk may be fed so much of certain kinds of food as to derange their digestive powers, and thus dry up their milk. The Live Stock Journal states that it has been found that a large feed of po tatoes will lessen the percentage of hay digested, but we think the large amount of salt contained in the potato causes a looseness of the bowels, and thus impairs the digestive function. We often fed potatoes to cows in milk with great benefit. Our plan has been to run potatoes through a root slicer and to feed four quarts at a time mixed with cut hay and a pint of oil meal or pea meal, or a quart of oats. And since the experi ment mentioned, we have again tried this 'node of feeding, and found it to work ad mirably well. The potato is a very imperfect food alone, being principally starch, having too little nitrogen and phosphate of lime to make milk; but it is the richest root rais ed on the farm, and when fed in small quantity, raw, will regulate the bowels, and will have a very similar effect to green grass. It is very laxative food in the raw Mate, and that is probably the cause of its peculiar effect on the digestion of hay. When the potato is cooked the effect is quite different, and its value is increased. A small quantity of potatoes, say four quarts at a feed, will increase the yield of milk nearly as much as so much grain, provided they are fed with other food rich in the constituents of milk. The American dairyman is prone to feed one thing at a time, almost wholly, instead of giving variety in food, which will furnish all the elements required in the proper proportion. We found an ob jection to ths use of oil meal when fed above two pounds per day to a cow, as it is too laxative. We found one quart per day the most profitable, and have also found one peck of potatoes per day, in two feeds, the most profitable. Oatmeai in the Household. In Great Britain childrin of all ranks are ridded eb" an oatmeal diet alene, be cause it causes them to grow strong and healthful, and no better food can possibly be found for them. It is also quite as de sirable for the student as for the laborer, and fertile delicate lady as for her hard working sister ; indeed, all classes would be greatly benefitted by its use, and dys pepsin, with all its manifold annoyances, can be tePt. it a safe distance. Oatmeal is more aubsiantial food, it is said, than veal, pork, or lamb, and quite equal to beef or mutton, giving as much or more mental vigor while its great desideratum consists in one's not becoming weary of it, for it is as welcome for breakfast or tea as is wheat or Graham bread. It can be eaten with syrup and butter as hasty pud ding, c.- with cream and sugar, like rice. It is especially good for young mothers upon whose nervous forces too great a de mand. baa been made, when they lose the equilibrium of tLe system and become de pressed and dispirited. Oat meal requires to be cooked slowly, aud the water should be boiling het w h en it is stirred in. HASBOWIPIG winter grain is a very profitable prar , ;ce.

She has left me, priceless treasure, More th:ln all the world beside Oh 1 my heart is sad and lonely Since my gentle mother died. How I miss her tender aceents— How her love I fondly crave ; When my life work here is ended Let me rest beside her grave. Sweet message that she gave me, As she clasped me to her breast; "God will comfort, guide and keep you— In his arms there's perfect rest; Do not grieve that I must leave you, We shall meet to part no more."— Then a band of white robbed angels Bore her to the golden shore. She is free from all earth's sorrow, Free from all P•irth's gain and woo Safe in heaven, her ransomed spirit Only joy and peace shall know. Soon I'll hear the angels calling, Soon death's waters I must brave ; When life's journey shall be over, Let me sleep beside her grave. There Will be Rest in the Eventide, All day long the farmer may Ptand be tween his plough handles, turning the yielding soil ; may endure the burden and heat of the day ; may be burned by the scor - hing rays of the sun, or be drenched by sudden showers out by and by the sun furls his banner of light, the birds cease their singing and fly home to their nests, the eventide has come, and tired man and weary beast find rest. All day long the smith may ply his hammer while huge drops of prespiration roll down his sinoke begrimed brow. He be!ongs to the class that must toil for their daily bread, and work with him has become second nature. He likes the music of his bellows and the clink of his hatrm , r, and as the huge sparks fly off the red-hot iron, he can al most imagine he is Jove forging thunder. bolts and revelling in the forked lightnings as they wreathe and twine around him.-- But as the sun goes down in the west, he lays down his leather apron, and washes the soot and smoke from his face, and goes home to enjoy the society of his family.— For him there has come rest at eventide. All day long the patient mother may toil for her littla ones, sympathizing with them in their childish sorrows, calming their fears, and soothing their pains, until she is worn out, soul and body, but as night approaches sleep touches their eyelids with its magic wand—and for weary mother and tired child there has come rest at eventide. And for us all there will come rest at even tide, it matters not what our occupation may be, nor where our footsteps roam.— Lite with its pitiful joys and bitter ex perience, its feverish dreams and empty ambitions, its hopes and fears, its loves and hates, wilt be ended after a while. As we grow older our trust diminishes, as one by one our friends fail us and our expecta tions are cut oft, the apples of Hesperides turn to dead sea fruit within our grasp, and the idols, we all, at times, so wildly worship, lie shattered at our feet. Oh, the follies and vanities of life; the lessons we have to learn and unlearn ; no wonder we grow weary, many of us, long before the end of the journey is reached. But all we can do is to possess our souls in pa. tience and press forward for the mark of the prize. For the faithful workers rest will come ere long, though he may have to pass through the valley of shadows and the gloom of the grave first; but to the up right death should possess no terror. It is only a compassionate friend that opens a door through which we may pass to grander work and sweeter rest than be ever dreams of here. Then let us not falter in our onward march, or look back, having put our hands to the plow, but press on and strive to earn a sweet rest when comes the eventide. COLONEL INGERSOLL in a recent lecture made the following beautiful apostrophe to a child's laugh : "The laugh of a child will make the holiest day more sacred still. Strike with hand of fire, 0 weird musician! thy harp strung with Apollos's golden hair! Fill the vast cathedral aisles with sym phonies sweet and dim, deft toucher of the organ keys Blow, bugler, blow, until thy silver notes do touch and kiss the moonlit waves, charming the wandering lovers on the vine-clad hills, but know your sweetest strains are discords all compared with childhood's happy laugh—the laugh that fills the eyes with light and dimples every cheek with joy ! 0 rippling river, laughter I thou art the blessed boundary line between the beast and man, and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fretful fiend of care !
