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. This is in effect root

PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs, which an all
wise Providence has placed in countries where Liver Dis
eases most prevail. It will cure all diseases caused by de

The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bitter or bad
taste in the mouth; Pain in the back, aides or joints, oft
en mistaken for Rheumatism; Sour Stomach; Loam of Ap

Lose of memory, with a painful sensation of having failed
to do something which ought to have been done; Debility,
Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance of the Skin and
Eyes, a dry cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend the disease,
at others very few ; but the LIVER, the largest organ in
the body, is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
regulated in time, great suffering, wretchedness and death
will ensue.

BAD BREATH !
Nothing Is so unpleasant, nothing so common as bad

SICK HEADACHE!
This distressing affliction occurs most frequently. The
disturbance of the stomach, arising from the imperfectly

My Mother's Grave.
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

silver notes do touch and kiss the moonlit
waves, charming the wandering lovers on
the vine-clad hills, but know your sweetest

childhood's happy laugh—the laugh that
fills the eyes with light and dimples every
cheek with joy ! 0 rippling river, laughter I
