We hnvo see:i corn planted tho last of June, nnd only getting into the milk stage saved for seed and growing per fectly. In fact, it grew faster aud ripened earlier tho following season than did corn that was fully matured. That may, however, have been duo to extra care taken w ith tho green need corn. It was partly stripped of its husks and hungup to dry. Owiug to immaturity there was less substance or starch in tho grain, nuj wheu well dried it was so shriveled that it looked as if thero were little besido the germ enclosed in the grain, but every seed grew. If this soft corn had been left iu the field, exposed to rains nnd to repented freezing while damp, proba bly not a grain of it would have grown. It injures any seed to freeze it while dnmp, and with those naturally tender it entirely destroys their vitality. American Cultivator. KEEPIVfl MILK FRESH. It is rather singular that in this in ventive ago ono of our most crying needs has been hitherto overlooked. But nt length n device has been in vented to keep milk fresh. This device consists of a sort of closed vfssel with nu opening nt the top to which a glnss tube, ulosed nt tho upper end, is fast ened, the joining being rendered air tight by menus of nil India-rubber ring. The tube is marked with two horizontal lines numbered respectively seventy-fivedegrees nnd eighty degrees coutigrado. Tho vessel is filled with milk up to the edge of the neck, which is then closed with tho glass tube, nnd is unw placed on n sand mattress, or baiu niarie, over tho tiro. Tho milk rises to seventy-five degrees, aud soon afterwards to eighty degreess, and may bo removed from tho fire after romaiu iug at the above temperature from ten to twenty minutes, nnd cooled by plac ing tho vessel in water of the tftmpera tire of from ten to twenty degrees. Milk thus treatod will keep fresh from three to four days. Xew York World. THE t.OVElt HAY WORM. Tho farmer who finds in hiHinowtho webs of tho clover hay worm should rsad and act, upon the advice of Pro fessor Osborn, of the Towa Agricultural College, who says : Where these webs are found I would advise a thorough cleaning out of tho infested mow nnd burning of nil the webbed and worth less hay containing tho worms. Other wise there will be developed nn enor mous number of moths to lay eggi in the coming season's crop of hay and the probability of worse damage nn othev year than has occurred hereto fore. It is exactly under such con ditions, the holding over of masses of infected hay, that the worms find the best oppoitnuity for increase, aud, while it may involve some labor nnd apparent loss nt tho time, it may bo considered ns next to throwing hay away to store it over a mass of hay pre viously infested, except that tho tipper portion will probnbly eseapo any seri ous damage. It is possib.e that worms could bo killed by use of bisulphidtof carbon without removing the liny, but I hesitate to recommend it, -as I know of no cuse where it has been used for this pest nnd because of the danger connected with its use, especially in a born where lanterns may be brought, making possible tho ignition of the fumes. Farmers' Keview. HARVESTING APPLES AXD PEARS. A late writer says thnt ho has lost a Luii'lred barrels of choice apples in the course of his experience by not pick ing them in the right season, often de ferring the work fur his corn cutting or potato digging. Thero is no doubt thnt many orchard ists lose a gTeat deal by nut t-athering their apples in sea son, or else, ou the other hand, by picking them too soon. Jf the orchard nud its crop ure valu able many kinds of fruit are worth two seasons of picking. The first half is when they begin to drop from the tree ; but there is another half or more, with some vnrietieswhich adhere firmly aud remain. If the gathering of these is defined about two weeks they will keep loll!.', f and bo better in quality. Jt is uot ilil!;j.ilt to select tho most mature first by their color, nnd they will readily loosen ut tho btem, while the othi rs strongly adhere. The well Known rule for gathering pears, when the fruit will readily sepa rate from the tree wheu lifted half way up, is an cxc-i'llcut rule, but thero is usually less litTereiiee ill tl.o tiino of ripeiiin;.; 1 liuti with apples. t'eiits w hich l i)i n early and in a medium sea son should nlwiiys be gathered some ilnys In line ripe. t'liuu o vni i lies jur.v be parked in diuweia or boxes, nud will become more delicious nt maturity than if ripened in the o)-u air and on the tree. This is particularly important with emlv peitr. and wrapped in tlnn liel and iillorve.l to remain Koine days they will be greatly improved, and those which have a slight blush uutur ull.y will redden into real beauty wheu matured. l.i.tii autumn or winter Varieties require miller less cure and may be treated iiiolu like winter np p's, but nt the mine time they should be cuivliilU nnd Well secured iu a eool n i I uniform teiiipi-riiture.

From various Rtato agricul tural experiment stations wo nro as sured that milch cows will yield a greater flow of milk when fed on split corn than from any other feed, while for fattening yonng steers there is no letter food. A steer's mouth nt three years of ngo ia but partially provided with grinders, nnd it is difficult for him to mnsticnte whole ears of corn or parts of ears broken crosswise of the cob. He will ent strips of enr length wise the cob and fatten ns rapidly ns nt four years old, although nt tho latter ngo ho is provided with a full set of ninturo grinders. Many feeders do not try to fntten steers till they are four yenrs old for this reason. Cnttlo of any nge can eat split corn without any soreness of mouth, which is fre quently tho case when fed ou whole cars of corn. While there has been sonio differ ence of opinion among feeders ns to the vnlue of cob ns n feed, all agree that cob when prepared so cattle will eat it readily is an aid to digestion not acquired from any other roughness. Cattlo can bo fed nil tho split corn thev will eat without the least danger of overfeeding. As the fiber of the colt is broken so thnt they will masti cate the strips of enrs like chewing a end, without nny wastnge by slubber ing grains of corn from the month, all the saliva is retained nnd mixed thor oughly with tho food, insuring a di gestion so perfect that no whole grains of corn are passed. According to the analysis of the Government chemist, thero is a gaiu of twenty-five per cent, in nutriment by splitting the corn. This means thnt seventy-five bushels of split corn will do the work of ono hundred bushels of whole ears. Of cotirso it would not pay to do tho work by hand, but with n machine which will split from 300 to 500 bushels per day the saving is obvious. Farm, Field and Fireside. FARM AND GARDES NOTES. A heu thnt is too fat cau't lay. It pays to salt the cattle regularly. A liberal nso of whitewash is bene ficial. Dampness is to be prevented at all times. Sour milk is nn excellent drink for poultry. Well-drained laud is the best foi fruit trees. Winter wheat nnd rye make good fall pastures for stock. A good orchard adds greatly to the market value of a farm. By sowing rye you can have green food Into, if not all winter. Cattlo will eat almost all of the corn fodder if it is cut or crushed. To mako a profit from your buttei you must make a good article. As soon ns the leaves nre off the cur rant buthcs the wood should b thinned. The best profit comes from hogi thnt are marketed before the age of ten months. You will save money, time and vex ation of spirit by keeping all machin ery in perfect repair. Keep up with the times and do not persist iu old methods when you find new ones which are better. When planting trees dig the holes large enough to allow the roots to spread out in their natural position. If you wish to keep your horses in good condition see that their stable is kept clean nud that there nre no draughts. Before setting an orchard, it would bo well to find what varieties succeed best iu your locality or, in locations having similar conditions to yours. A pound of honey well stirred into a gallon of water, and set whore it will keep warm, aud where bugs and insects I will not get into it, will in a short time be converted into a fine article of vinegar. Wo cannot give np stock-growing on tho farm, tor tho fertility of the farm must bo maintained and our pasture must be utilized ; our crops of grass aud forage aud grain, too, hhould all be fed on tho farm. The Danish cattle aro a hardy little race, perfectly adapted to their some what hard circumstances. Their milk does not compare favorably with the Jersey, Holstein or Shorthorn breeds, being deficient in butter fat. Good proteetion in tho way of well made chaff hives will go a long way toward keeping the bees healthy, even when feeding on bad honey. If closely confined aud obliged to feed ou bad honey bees are often subject to dysen tery. Where no increase in the number of bees is desired all swarms that issue can bo put back, but iu order to get them to stay all quoeu cellsmustbe re moved. A good titno to do this is while the swarms are out, as they will stay out after sitting long euotigh to do this. Kxtiaetod honey will often granu late and become hard on tho approach of cold weather. If of good quality it will become white. To restore it to its liquid form set tho vessel contain ing it iu warm water uud gradually bring to a boil, until tho honey iu melted. In planting vines, trees, or fchruhs tho roots should bo pluued iu as near their natural position as possible. Much of tho loss which is attributed to the lack of care ou the part of the nurseryman is really caused by the failure of tho fruit grower to observe this rule. The early dropping of apples, which is though to be duo to wet weather ut the time of blooming, can lie prevented by spraying with the Bordeaux mix ture. The trees sprayed with thio miture at tho Ohio Station the past seusoii guve u very fair crop, while those which were not spruyed were a total failure. 110VSEII0MI A I' I' A ins. vrk Ton an oi.n Minnoit.

Somi'tiiiies tho most careful wash ing will not wholly remove tho flavor or odor of food from the utensil in which it was cooked. This is fre quently the case with fish, onions, cabbage, etc., but there is a remedy which may bo n little trouble, and yet is well worth tryiug. After any of theso articles have been cooked wash tho utensil carefully with soap nnd water. Now nearly till it with cold water, and for each quart of water add about n tablespoonful of dissolved washing soda, l'lace ou tho lire nnd let tho water get boiling hot. Now turn this water into tho sink, liiitso tho utensil with cleau, warm water, and, ou wiping it dry, it will )e found perfectly sweet. TO CfiEAS CARPETS AT HOME. It is often tho case that accidents happen wheu one is far away from a cleaners, or wheu perchance the carpet may not be worth the expense of the professional's service, but would 'be extremely useful if put iu good lorder. ' A simple and effectual menus of jelenniug is to rip the breadths apart, iif tho carpet is large ; take ouo breadth int a time over a common kitchen table lor wide board nud scour with pre pared soapsuds, if neoossary, or (naphtha. If that substance is to lie used, scrub tho carpet thoroughly with an ordinary scrub-brush. If tho washing is done with soapsuds, it is well to rinso th" carpet thoroughly, which may lio done by throwing ou pnilfuls of water aud scrubbing it out with the brush to rid tho fabric of tho ends ns nearly ns may be. If the carpet shows symptoms of fading, or if the colors threaten to run, it is quite worth while to go over it again Biid again with tho brush Btid with soft cloths and remove tho water as rapidly ns possible, nieanwhilo having the board or table tipped at nn angle so ns to allow nil surplus water to drain away as quickly as it cnu. This is rather slow work and hard work ; but if well done, tho result will be a enrpet entirely cleaned, perfectly wholesome and quite good enough for an upper room or for the rugs nnd pieces that are required iu every house.

Tho lieu tenant had been under tiro in battle nnd was not a coward, but ho would not consent to send a challenge. His friends expostulated with him in vaiu. They could not removo his conscien tious scruples against duelling. His refusal caused a scandal which touched tho honor of tho oflicers of his regiment. His colonel Anally aske.l him to choose between lighting tho duel and resigning his commission. He sent tho challenge nnd named tho conditions. The antagonists were to choose pistols by lot, one being loaded and tho other uot, aud wero to tiro over a handkerchief. The duel was fought at dawn. Tho men stood faeo to face, holding a handkerchief with their left hands. The bullying captain snapped tho trig ger of his pistol. Thero was no sound. Tho emptv weapon had fallen to him by lot. The seconds thought thnt the in sulted lieutenant, being opposed to duelling, would fire in the air. In stead of this he aimed his pistol re morselessly at the captain and killed him. Then dipping his hands in his victim's blood and turning to those who had forced him to fight the duel, he shouted : "Is it enough? Is honor now safe?" Keturuing to the oflicers' quarters, ho resigned his commission in the army. Not long afterword he disap peared from the world, and entered a monastery to spend tho remainder of his life as a religious recluse. This duel produced a marked im pression upon theolliccrsof tho French army. It was a warning against bully ism in the treatment of subordinates. Tho suicide iu front of tho Vienna barracks tenches tho same moral with equal imprcssiveucss. Youths' Com puuiou. Paper Stockings. A Berlin shoo trade journal says thnt stockings aro mades of a specially prepared impregnated paper stock, which, it is claimed, has nn extraor dinary effect ou perspiring feet. Tho moisture is absorbed in the paper as rapidly ns it is formed, aud the feet remain dry and warm, while the con stant temperature maintained in tho shoes is said to bo a great preventive to colds.
