Nocare T 'ornfwlU. TQ several rii-;lt', editorial and contributed by practical farmer. 7hc American Rural Home, last fall arced upon farmers the expediency of locating their corn stalks as Boon as tbev are sufficiently cured, instead of leaving tbero exposed, nearly the entire autumn, to the changeable xveatkr of that season. Peeplr iro preyed with the importance of the subject, we return to it in time for thoce wbo may be prevailed upon to try some other way, to be prepared for action. The stalks from an acre of good corn, secured in the best condition, we consider worth from $3 to $10, in season when good timothy will com mand $20 a ton. Some wWid prob ably value them higher than our out hide figures, while others would rate them lower than our minimum esti mate How much the stalks would ,i in ralnn if b'ft standina tit ' id - t ti.rA U LI 'iURv v - I months after being cut up, we will not undertake to say; we would not piv tail price for them. Who would iLinkof leaving hay exposed in the cock for several weeks and is hay cni.rtol.l t.-i ininrv from the weather than . . i t - cornstalks? In our .-tides last fail I'l wJ-Te suggested for securing tho stalks be fore they were injured, all having mere or less merit. We thought that if farmers could i;ot so arrange their work as to but-k their own corn as goon as the stalks arc sufficiently cured for bousing or stacking, they had better follow the old fashioned system of topping their corn, and by drawing that portion of the stalks as soon as cured. Save the better part of the fodder in its best condition. Mr. Ives, of IJatavia, makes it a point to hire his corn husked early, even though he is oblidged to give one-eighth of the corn for busking, ltf.lipi-in(r that, it. is more woiaaoie io allow that price than it would be to r . . ; . ,. i..: .v have it Lurked lor notuiDgr season, lins. in our i"""""' t ilie difficulty. Let IJ V W O T V " v. v. 'inmf dulv impressed with the importance of Lurking their corn, and securing their fodder early say soon after the first of October and then no more think of delaying it a month or two longer, than they would think of postponing the cutting of a field of grass thM was in the proper condition on the f;rst of July, until the first of August. Will farm ers ?ay that it is impossible to hire labor enough to husk it thus prompt ly? They manage to obtain labor enough "to do their haying and har vesting, and they can use for husking a class of laborers too weak for the heavier work of harvesting and hay ing. We Lave thus far only dw ot on the injury suffered by the stalks from exposure, but the corn itself is injur ed by wetting and drying, swelling and shrinking, and freezing and thaw ing, only in a less degree. We be lieve that a crop of corn, cut up in the first week in September, and husked and cribbed the first week in October, would be worth ten per cent, more, either for feeding or mar keting, tnan ii nliowea to stana in shock until in November. We dcubt whether farmers attach n - a. i , ... They seem to think that if they offer their stock food containing the ingre dients which they require for repair ii.g the wastes of the system, and forming fat r.nd muscle, and starve them inty eating it, they are practic ing a true economy, Dot taking into account the philosophical fact that brutes, as well as human animals, must enjoy their food to fully digest mid assimilate it. When human beings lock upon f od that is agreeable to them, their mouths water to use the expression that is, their salivary glands are engorged, prepared to commence vig orously the first work of digestion, and undoubtedly, though less appa rent, the irlands which secrete the gastric and other juices employed in j digestion are excited by the happy C.

If these theories are correct, farmers should not only see that their stock have an abundance of nourishing food, but that that tbev ! hfue it in the most palatable conai- 110:1.

US on on Mr. Tipton, of Burlington, Kansas, wrote tbe JlottmiUuriKt as follows: The quickest, surest, and cheap est way I ever grew pears was when I grafted or budded on bearing apple trees. I never picked better pears from standards, or any other under growth for the ear," than I bate picked from old apple-trees topped and budded or grafted with pears: end they always bore early aau pro fusely.

How to Have Wood i'ldrr. Professor Ilorseford, of Harvard University, has published . recipe for improving end preserving cider, by means of which the progress ol the vinous and accctic fermentations may be arrested at pleasure, and the cider preserved in just such a state as may bedeshed. It is this: "Put the new cider into clean casks or barrels, and allow it to ferment troni one to three weeks, according as the weather is cool or warm. When ii has attained to a lively fer mentation, add to each gallon three fourths of a pound of white sugar, and let the whole ferment again un til it possesses nearly the brisk, pleas ant taste which it is desirable should be permanent Tour out a quart of the cider, and mix with it one-quarter of an ounce of sulphite of lime for every gallon the cask contains. Stir it until it is intimately mixed, and - : nour the emulsion into the liquid. I m , , Airitato t ie contents oi me cast lii.ironhlv for a few moments, then let u rest that the cider may settle. Fermentatinn will be arrested at once, ; and ill not be resumed. It may be J bottled in the course of a lew weeks, J or it mar be allowed to remain in I r'tl.rt n.t nnr. nco.H rn rtnmi.hr II j bottled, it will become a spa rklin; cider of surpassing excellence." Professor Horsford was the first to use the sulphite of lime for this pu; pose, and to hiiu is due the credit of first calling attention to its usefulness. It is in no respect deleterious, as the sulphate into which the sulphite is changed by the liberation of sulpbor ous acid is" entirely insoluable andre- mains at the bottom ot tne vessel, Uemember, it is the sulphje of lime, not. ulurir, uiuni w u.iuu. v- . - itv of tlie cider win remain uncu a Hir ed for vears. Troll i a Medicine. The worst case of dispepsia can , n)ediei einn)iT br eating nothing oi nieuici that lard is an ingredient, using but ter sparinjlv, eating bread made of unbolted Hour, and making free use of fruits especially apples. In fact, on the departure f winter, most pco ph would be much better off if they ate meat not much oftener than once cr twice a week, and use fruits and vegetables instead. Pork and lard are the greatest promoters of dyspep sia, levers aud bllllous diseases are fed by keeping up our bodily heat of midwinter through June, July, Aug ust and September, never changing our diet from the heavy meets of January. An eminent French phy sician 6ays that the decrease of dys pepsia in Paris is owing to the in creased consumption of apples a fruit, he maintains, which is an ad mirable preventive and tonic, as well as a very nourishing and easily di gested article of food, luc l aris ians, devour one hundred milllions of them every winter, and we do not doubt that these statements are per fectly correct In fact, instances have come under our observation, where fresh fruit had an immediate effect in checking bilious tendencies in indi viduals, and we have heard of whole districts where bilious diseases Lave i become prevalent upon a failure of the fruit crop.

T"? raares iue poor creature nes down. The driver knows at once I that his feet hurt him, and looks to .1 1 t 1 find out if the thick skin of the feet is blistered. Whenever a blister is found, two or three strong men, usu ally Mongols; keep wratch of the camel until it is not noticeing them. At just the right moment they make a rush altogether upon the camel, throw it over upon tbe side, and make it fast. Then, with a needle made for that use, they sew a square piece of leather lurge enough to cover the hurt place over the camel's foot, the skin of which is quite thick enough to sew through, without hurting the animal. With this new shoe on, tbe camel is quite ready to get up and march on. The pieces of leather are very carefully prepared for this use. Ii sometimes happens that a camel lies down in the midst of his long march across the desert and dies. The natives take the thickest part ot his skia to make shoes of. These bits of skin they take out day after day, when ou the march, and pull, until they become so soft and yielding that a camel with blistered feet, seems grateful to have shoes made of it, although he would resist the shoeing to the last, were he not held so that he could not move. - Iron Incroaia.
