Dlceatlhle Matter la Corn.
The total amount of digestible mat
tor in corn at different stages ol growth
is as follows, acoording to the Cana
dian experiments: Beginning with taa
aeliug, one ton of corn plant oontained
18(1 pounds of digestible material.
When the corn was in the silk, it con
tained 211 pounds, in early milk 250
pounds, lute milk 280 ponnds, and
ahon the ears were glazing 8D9
ponnds. It is concluded therefore
that the corn should be cnt about the
time it is beginning to glaze.
Aahea For Cabling Plants.
The cabbage is a plant whicli re
quires lime, and the lime which most
ashes contain is therefore an impor
tant benefit when they are applied to
this crop. The very best place to sow
eabbage seed is where a brush heap
has been burned over a few weeks or
months before. The ashes have by
this time lost all of their caustic prop
erties, and make the soil light and
mellow when mixed with it. Snob
places will be free from weeds, as the
tire will destroy most weed seeds with
in two inches of the stirfaoe. Eithet
the burned oil or the ashes makes the
cabbage less liable while small to at
tacks of the turnip fly.
tlronfl Leaf In flraln.
No good farmer wants to see young
imall grain such as oats or barley
utart out with unusually broad and
3ark green leaves. A soiuowhat
lighter shade pleases him better, for
there will be less danger that the straw
or grain will break down from over
weight of straw, iu wbioh ease it is al
most sure to rust. Nnture in part
provides against this by drawing heav
ily from water in the soil, so that to
wards the time of ripening the plant
will be pinched by lack of moisture.
A dry time for a week or two before
harvesting, as well as at harvesting,
is therefore an advantage to all small
giain crops, After the grain heads
out it is rarely injured by lack of
water.
Experiment In Feeding; floss.
The Montana Experiment Station
baa been trying experiments in feed
ing pigs, dividing them into three
lots. One was fed ou barley meal ex
clusively, lot two on barley and wheat
ground together, and lot three on all
three grains mixed. As might be ex
pected, the last lot made the greatest
gain and at the least expense. The
barley and corn together was bettei
than either alone, though there was
In either of these a more poorly bal
anced ration than when either was
combined with wheat. And yet how
infrequently is this principle applied
in feeding of hogs for pork. Home

by oorn-fed hogs, and will be worth

Preserving Bulter For Winter.
The high price that butter bring

f ervatives without number are recom

carry the summer prouuot over until

Cold storage, when the temperature
can be kept at thirty-eight degrees, is
the only reliable method by which but
ter may kept, and even this mothod,
to be successful, requires peculiar care
in tho manufuctnre of the butter. It
must be made of young cream and be
churned as soon as it reaches the first
state of aoidity. The less buttermilk
loft in tho butter, the better. The
preserving process comes in packing
the butter so as to exclude all air be
fore it is put in oold storage. To ac
complish this the packago must be
loakud in brine, lined with parchment
paper, the butter packed in solidly

Premature Grape Bearing.
It sometimes happens that where a
trong shoot of last year's wood has
been used as a layer, tho buds
from it when they come through the
toil will show bnds and blossoms for
fruit. These buds should of course
be picked off, as they will retard the
development of the plant, and the
(rait being so close to the ground will
be eaten jrj chickens as fast aa it
ripens, is a rather curious fact,
however ttiat this fruit close to the
ground will, if the soil be dry, be
earlier than that on the vine. The
sun shining on the soil makes the air
there much warmer in hot days than
it is where the breezes freely blow. A
more important fact is that the over
hanging vine protects the fruit below
from the desoentof oold from the upper
atmosphere and therefore the fruit
near the ground is kept muoh warmer
at night thiit that farther up the vine.
But at the very top, the extra amount
of sap which the frit gets makes that
earlier than midway down the vine.
There is no gain in letting a grape
vine bear the year it is set out, uor
more than a single buuoh the secoud
year. Two years after the viue ia
planted it may be allowed to bear six
to twelve bunches, bnt uot more than
two bnnohes to each shoot that is per
mitted to grow.
Beaartfnl Custom la Crete.

results la the cessation of all fands, en

follows: A number of Individuals
choose a young girl, wbo must be pret
tyno difficult matter In Crete. Tbey
Inform her parents of tbelr Intention,
and tbe needful consent Is never with
held. Then a priest la sent for and told
to begin tbe ceremony. He takes a
very long girdle and Joins all the men
with It in a circle, In tbe tenter of
which tbe young girl Is placed. Then
the clergyman recites a number of pray
ers and winds up by giving his benedic
tion to all present The moment he
pronounces the last amen the circle and
Its center stand In the relation of broth
ers and sister to each other to all re
ligious and social Intents and purposes.
Each and every one of tbe males I
bound In honor and a Cretan knows
no more sacred obligation to protect
that girl throughout ber life, but none
of them can ever take ber for his wife.
She Is and remains their sister In the
eyes of the priest and people to tbe end
of her days. But they must also stand
by and succor each other, and If needs
be at the cost of life Itself.
