Diverse opinions are often expressed la relation to the Ions In bulk nn J weight of corn, frotn husking time till the following summer or autumn. Several years ago, we performed a series of ex perlments bearing on this subject, and reached several conclusions, which farmers generally should understand. We found the results to vary with the dryness or dampness of the autumn, and the degree of ripeness In the corn at the time of husking. The condition of the corn w 111 vary considerably In differ ent parts of the field, or In different ears in the same hill. It is essential, then, that a fair average be taken. The fol lowing are some of the results : Corn in the ear, after an unusually damp season, was weighed the first of January, and by the following October bird lost one-fifth part of its bulk : The weight of corn in the ear, of the northern eight-rowed varied, all the way from 68 to 75 pounds, to yield a shelled bushel of 60 pounds. Ears with small cobs, well dried, afforded scarcely 8 pounds of cobs to the bushel. With larger cobs, freshly husked, they may weigh 12 or 13 pounds. A moist cob Is much heavier than a dry one. Farmers who sell corn in the ear should know th amount of loss from drying. As a general rule, a dollar per bushel for corn in the ear in summer is no better than seventy-five cents at husking time. Sold in the ear, it should always be weighed, not measured. We found that a full, compact, heaped half-bushel, of moderate seized 8-rowed ears, contained 56 ears, weighing 24 pounds. Thrown in loosely, and heaped, there were only 44 ears, weighing 19 pounds. Shelled grain shrinks in bulk and loses in weight by long drying. In one case it lost one-twentieth of its bulk and one-eighth of its weight in three weeks in a room heated with a stove. After some months, it shrank in bulk from its original condition as six is to seven, and lost in Weight so as to be as five is to six. Other experiment) in cold rooms nearly correspond with this in results. It would therefore be better to gell shelled corn early in winter at eighty cent than the following summer at a dollar. With gourd-seed or dent corn the results may be different, and they always vary some with seasons. Wheat loses much less by drying tlian corn. Country Gentleman. Now the French Economize. The French butcher separateH the bones from the steaks, and places them where they will do the most good. The housewife orders just enough for each person anYl no more, even to the coffee. If a chance visitor drops in somebody quietly retires and the extra cup is provided, but nothing extra by careless ness of intention, when the little range is extinguished, and awaits for another time. No roaring cook stoves and red hot covers all day long for no purpose but waste. The egg laid to-day costs a little more than one laid lout week. Values are nicely estimated and the smallest surplus is carefully saved. A thousand little economics are practic ed, and it Is respectable to practice them. Cooking is an economical as well as sanitary and gustatory science. A French cook will make a franc go as far as our housewives will make three, and how much further than the American Bridget nobody knows we should probably be greatly astonished, could the computa tion be made, how much of the financial, recuperative powers of France is owing to her soups and cheap food; better living, after all, than the heavy bread and the greasy failures of our culinary Ignorance. Home and Farm. Re-krfltt'inToTil Yarn. A lady writes the Ohio Farmer that raveled yarn can be re-knit to good ad vantage if when re-knitting there is added a thread of spool cotton, threud to be of similar color to the yarn. . Yarn thus knit will last nearly If not quite as well as if new, and knit without the thread of cotton. When knitting the heels or toes to stockings it is advisable to knit In tho thread of cotton, if not used for other parts ; heels and toes thus knit will wear twice or three timet at long as those knitted without the thread. "Germantown yarn" when thus knitted w ill be made durable and lasting, even if knit into mittens, when if such yarn should lie used without the thread it would hardly pay for the time consumed in its manufacture. Such yarn is meant for scarfs, nubias, or garments made for ornament rather than wear and tear ; yet if used with the thread it can J made very serviceable, even when much worn. Raveled yarn of fancy colors can also be used for lamp mats. Select several strands of harmonizing colors gather in loops and fusten to' a circular piece of covered card-board. , B LATCH LBt'S Improved ' Cucumber Wood PUMP.
