FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS
Wo lnrit commnnlrariona from all pemmifl who are
lntiri.tf d In matter proiwrly beloiwiuir to thla d
partmout. A Remarkable Yield of Cora In Maryland.
Mr. A. Vanderford, one of the editors of
the Domocrntio Advocate, Westminister,
Md., furnishes the Agricultural Depart
ment a statoment of a remarkable yield of
corn, published in a recent number of his
journal. The crop, said to be the largest
ever produced in that county, was grown
by Mr. John W. Murry, of Hampstead dis
trict, Carroll County, from whose lottor
the following extract is made :
The land is low and is overflowed by the
washings from the turnpike and from my
barn-yard, and was In grass for fifteen
years prior to the Spring of 1872 ; thon
plowed and planted in corn, and yiolded
80 J barrels per acre. This was the same
piece of ground that I used last year. The
stubble was left until I had planted the
rest of my corn. On May 10, 1873, I plow
ed the ground very deep, harrowed it the
same day, and rolled it on the 17th. I sow
ed 300 pounds fine bone and harrowed it
again the same day. I marked it off, 32
inches one way, and sowed 200 pounds
Rhodes' super-phosphate in the rows, and
dropped the corn 10 inches apart, one and
two grains in a hill. On the 4th of June it
was badly missing; dragged the ground
and replanted ;' 10th of June plowed again,
still some missing ; 17th of June plowed
and hoed, and plastered the weak spots ;
30th of June dragged,plowed,and thinned ;
4th of July hilled with a potato-plow as
deep as one horse could pull, and kept
thinning as V thought required until shooting-time.
The variety of corn was the
Chester County mammoth yellow, of which
I send you a sample.
In regard to the yiold, the ground was
surveyed by a practical, sworn surveyor,
cut off by two sworn mon, and measured by
a sworn man, in the presence of many, and
xneasurod 29-0-10 barrels, and the same
measure at the cattle-scales In Baltimore
made 80J barrols,for which I hold a receipt.
I am not a one-acre farmer, but cultivate
forty acres, with mysolf and three boys, or
perhaps I could have givon the one acre
more attention and bad a larger yield,
which I believe could have been made.

About Sick Animals.
Nearly all sick animals become so by
improper feeding, in the first place. In
nine cases out of ten the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal, says the Lit Stock Journal, is
the most efficient and rapid corrective. It
will cure in a majority of caacfc if properly
administered. An example of its use :
The hired man came in with the intelli
gence that one of the finest cows was very
sick, and a kind neighbor proposed the
usual drugs and poisons. The ownef be
ing ill, and unable to examine the cow,
concluded that the trouble came from over
eating, and ordered a teacupful of pulver
ized charcoal given in water. It was mix
ed, placed in a junk bottle, tho head held
upward, and the water and charcoal poured
downward. In five minutes improvement
was visible, and in a few hours the animal
was in the pasture quietly eating grass.
Anothor instance of equal success ocourred
with a young heifer which bad become
, badly bloated by eating green apples after
a hard wind. The bloat was so severe that
the sides were almost as bard as a barrel.
The old remedy, saleratus, was tried ' for
correcting the acidity. But the attempt to
put it down always caused coughing, and
it did littlo good. Half a teacupful of fresh
powdered charcoal was next given, and in
a few hours all appearance of bloat had
gone, and the heifer was well.
Should Milk or Cream be Churned !
The New York Observer reports an ex
periment from which it appears that about
3G0 pounds of milk make twenty-two
pounds of butter or sixteen to one. The
milk was sour and thick. It was thought
that the quality of the butter would have
boon somewhat bptter If the milk Tiad only
just begun to turn. As to velocity in
churning, it was said there should be from
forty to sixty strokes of the dasher in a
minute. Some Bay that the motion should
be continuous ; others, that the cream (or
milk) should have intervals of rest, and the
air should occasionally be introduced. It
has been discovered by the microscope that
butter exists in the milk inclosed iu thin
sacks of albumen,' and these sacks are to
bo thoroughly broken to make good but
ter. They are sometimes seen mixed with
butter, being only torn in two. . The effect
of souring is injurious. The great objec
tion of ohurning milk is the great amount
of powor required.
Turnips fur Hong. . ,
Mr. McKdbn In the Poultry World reo,
Ommends raw - Swedish turnips, cut open
once or twice, and thrown on the floor of
the hennery, as the best and cheapest green
food, that can be given.

the system In a healthy state, and the patient
beyond tbe probability of a relapse.
