land, where hay sells nearly twice as
high ns in the more northern portions,
oats, as a grain crop, have become more
nnu more unpopular from year to year,
till at the present time probably more
than half that are sown are iutended
more for fodder thnu for the grain. Some
farmers let, tiiriii stand till the gvniu will
pay for thrashing, but cut while ihe
straw is yet green. Others cut wheu m
bloom, and thus get the hay when it is
in its best condition fur feeding. Oats
have usually been grown on old
ground where corn or potatoes havo been
cultivated one or more seasons. A few
farmers make a practice of manur
ing oats the same snrinar tliev are sown.
but usually this crop is compelled to
icon upon manure already in the soil,
such as has been applied to previous
crops and not wholly consumed. In un
favorable seasons, when the weather is
hot and damp, oats are thought to do
best under such treatment; but in a sea
son like the present they do equally well
upon nowly plowed laud, and with n fair
dressing of stable manure.
For the past two years we have made
special efforts toward raising upon the
iurin an tne louuer to be used by the
stock kept, and in order to do this have
experimented in various ways. Among
other experiments, we have tried grow
ing oats for fodder upon old mowing
fields, which were producing too little
hay for profit. The land has beeu
plowed iii the autumn, after the hay
crop was secured. Then it is borrowed
fine and smooth, during the leisure be
tween harvesting and other work. Hefore
winter the soil may be made to look al
most like an old field, providing the
plowing and harrowing is thoroughly
done. Manure of some kind is applied
before the ground freezes, and if con
venient is cultivated lightly into the
soil.
Early in spring, as soon as the soil is
dry enough to work well, it is cultivated
thoroughly and sowed to oats, at the
rate of from four to five bushels per
acre. If the grain is small, four bushels
may be enough, but otherwise five would
be better. This will give straw nearly
as fine as ordinary stout timothy. It is
easily cured, and, when cut early and
well cured, makes hoy that is better than
timothy and red top, which aie allowed
to stand till dead ripe. We have had
nearly live acres of such oats this season-,
most of which has been grown upon
greensward, and the result has beeu
ipiite equal to our highest anticipations.
Two fields were manured with Rriclitnn
fertilizers, applied in the fall, after the
ground froze, and left exposed during
the winter, and with no perceptible loss
from such exposure, even though upon
land somewhat subject to washing.
More labor is required for growing such
crops than for cutting the hay upon old
run-out fieldR, but from our experience
we should claim that such labor pays.
It would seem that hind producing
two or three crops of graiu in a season,
each being fairly manured and the stub
ble plowed in, must be gaining in fer
tility. It certainly improves in mechani
cal condition, being light and exceeding
ly mellow. We doubt if oats, as a fod
der crop, are yet appreciated according
to their real merits. New Awland

cut onions and tomatoes in thin slices,
arid chop peppers thin; make layers of

How to Preserve Ice. The follow
ing method of preserving it is highly
recommended, "and is certainly worth
trying: Cut a piece of flannel about j
nine inches square, 'and secure it by i
ligature round the mouth of an ordi- i
nary tumbler, so as to leave a cun-shaned i
depression of flannel within the tumble
to about half its depth. In the flannel cup
so constructed pieces of ice may be pre
served many hours, all the longer if a
piece of flannel from four to five inches
square be used as a loose cover to the
ice cups. Cheap flannel, with compara
tively open meshes, is preferable, as the
water easily drains through it und the
ice is thus kept quite dry. When good
flannel with close texture is employed, a
small hole must be made in the bottom
of the flannel cup, otherwise it holds
the water, and facilitates the melting of
the ice. Placed in a cup of this kind,
two ounces of ice has been known to last
for nine or ten hours.
Mr. Lester, of Providence, R. I. , says
that when he was a boy ten or twelve
years of age, he was one day standing
in Market square with his grandfather,
when four Irishmen came up, one of
whom asked the distance to Pawtucket.
He was told by the old gentleman that
it was about four miles. " Well, faith,"
said Put, in a mock tone of encourage
ment to his three tired companions,
"that's not bad at all only a mile
apiece for ns." "Whom do yon want
to see in rawtucket?" inquired Mr.
Lester, senior. "Be jabers," was the
quick reply, " I want to see meself there

Mrknamliig Professor.
A correspondent of the New York
JCrcnlnfj Pont writes from Easton, Pa.,
about the University students there, ne
says:
The facetionsness of the students ilis-
flays itself in the nicknames which they
estow upon their instructors. Dr.
March, who stands nt the head of tlid
corps of instructors here, and is one of
tho ablest Anglo-Saxon and philological
scholars on either side hi the Atlantic, is
yclept -Shanghai." That the worthy
doctor is famiiinr with his own sobri
quet is evident, for one of his little boys,
when asked who he was, answered: "I
am little Shanghai." The late Dr. Coffin,
whose loss is still keenly felt by the
institution, was called "Old Spookio,"
and his son " Young Spookio," from an
awkward habit they had of turning np
among the students at unexpected times
and places. An anecdote is told of the
doctor which is characteristic of him, for
he was at heart a modest and retiring,
even a timid, man. He hod missed sev
eral chickens from his roosts, and sus
pected a student who was boarding him
self iu his own room. He planned a
surprise for the culprit at his meal one
day ; but the young thief, seeing him
coining, hastened with his ill-gotten poul
try to his bedside, and was on his knees
in the act of concealing it when the doc
tor broke in upon him. The Rood doctor
beat a hasty retreat, exclaiming at the
same time: " I beg a thousand pardons ;
I did not mean to interrupt you in your
devotions I" Dr. Porter, a professor of
natural sciences, a friend of JJr. Leidy,
of Plulttdelphia, is familiarly Known
among the boys as "Butrs." Iu many
cases this affectionate nomenclature is
formed by taking the first syllable of the
name and adding to it an "ie." after the
fashion of the young ladies ; thus, Pro
fessor Bloomberg is known as
"Bloomie." and tutor Diefeuderfer as
"Diefie." Numerous laughable in
stances bave'occurred where some fresh
man, in his innocence and ignorance, has
accosted a professor by one of these lat
ter names. It would be doing the stu
dents injustice to think that these names
are used out of any disrespect. This is
one of the ways the boys have of divest
ing their instructors of the grim terrors
which invest them in the class-room.
The students, however, do not seem to
fail in recognizing the eternal fitness of
things, for now that Dr. Coffin is dead,
the old jesting name of " Spookie " is
laid aside, and you will not hear the
roughest boy among them making use
it.
The Value of Corn as Food.
The Milwaukee Millinn Journal be
lieves that the economic value of corn as
fodder for the humail family is under
rated, and presents the following reasons
for its theory :
Wheat is the dearest food consumed
by mankind, and when the comparative
value and cheapness of the different
grains is more thoroughly understood,
tne singular fact will be developed that
there is as much caste in food as in the
human race that is supported by it.
Scarcity and high cost of wheat will
eventually force nations and individuals
to learn that the moral and financial
elevation of the masses depends upon
the substitution of some food material
cheaper than wheat, and bearing nearer
proportion to the reduced scale of wages
now prevalent the world over. When
the conventional necessities of life in
crease in cost laborers' wages diminish,
aud suffering and discontent ensue. The
following comparison will show that corn
as well as oats is cheaper food than
wheat : Oats contain 19.91 per cent,
nourishment; corn, 12.30 per cent., and
wheat, 14.06 per cent. Taking present
Boston market quotations, and each
pound of nourishment from oats at fifty
eight and one-quarter cents per bushel
costs 9.33c; from corn at sixty-seven
cents per bnshel, each pound l ine and
tnree-quarter cents, while from wheat at
$1.07 per bushel each pound of nourish
ment costs ViU.tUC.
The corn crop of the United States
equals the wheat crop of the civilized
world, while forty per cent, of the latter
cannot raise sufficient for their own
wants. The deficiency in the United
States wheat crop for 1870 exceeded the
entire export of 1875. while our exports
of wheat in 1875 were 10,000,000 bushels
less than that of 1874, showing that
wheat cannot be claimed as a sole de
pendence from the rapidly increasing
population of the world-. Corn must be
fore many years be consumed as a par
tial substitute, at least, for wheat, and
the better the quality of the grain, and
the more perfect the process of prepar
ing it for food, the quicker will come
the enlarged demand. This is in part
confirmed by the fact that our exports of
1876 were three per cent, for our whole
crop, while for the twelve preceding
years they averaged only one per cent.

The most popular of all the eating

an immense establishment, having ac
commodations for two thousand cus

wealthy woman named Matsuda Kane, by
whom it was first opened in 1873. No
rooms are let for lodging purposes, and
the patrons are mostly residents of
Tokio, though occasionally a rural party
may be seen staring at the unaccustom
ed sights about them, to the no small
amusement of their urban neighbors.
The customer is given a numbered
ticket on entering, by which his ac
count with the house is kept. A few
rooms are furnished iu semi-foreign
style, but most preserve their Japanese
character, and the food is almost en
tirely native. The " bill of fare " in
cludes some twenty different dishes,
rangirfg in price from five to fifteen
cents each, the charges depending
largely on the state of the fish market.
While no meat is served, fowls are
cooked in a number of forms, aod all
kinds of liquors can be obtained. The
Matsuda is opened about eight o'clock
in the nioming, and closed at nine or
