Measuring Corn.
A number of rules for measuring corn
Lave been published. As a multiplicity
of rules tend to confuse, the question
arlnes, why cat) not we have one good
rule? The reason is obvious. New
corn will not measure as many bushels
to the foot or Inches as old corn, on ac
count of shrinkage. A crib of Corn
measured in the fall will net yield, as
many bushel to the cubic foot as when
measured in the spring or summer.
Corn in wagon, when llrst put in, will
not measure as much to the foot as
when hauled several miles. Hence the
necessity of working by different rules
under different circumstances. All
rules are based upon the number of
cubic inches in a bushel of shelled corn
which is 3150.4. If all corn shelled out
the same, under all circumstances, it
would be very easy to have one rule
As near right as any rule I have tried is
twelve cubic feet to the barrel for corn in
crib in the fall of the year, eleven and a
half feet in the spring time and about 11
feet in summer; 12 feet as thrown in
wagon in the field and eleven and a
quarter hauled four or five miles.
To Fasten Cloth on Wooden Surfaces.
The following is said to be an excel
lent method of fastening cloth to the
top of tables, desks, etc: Make a mix
ture of 21 pounds of wheat flour, 2 table
spoonfuls of powdered alum ; rub the
mixture well in a suitable vessel, with
water, to a uniform smooth paste ; trans
fer this to a small kettle over a fire, and
stir until the paste is perfectly homoge
neous without lumps. As ivoon as the
mass has become so Btiff that the stirrer
remains upright in it transfer it to an
other vessel and cover it up so that no
skin may form on its surface.
This paste is applied in a Very thin
layer to the surface of the table ; the
cloth, or leather, is then laid and press
ed upon it, and smoothed with a roller.
The ends are cut off after drying. If
leather is to be fastened on, this must
first be moistened with water. The
paste is then applied, and the leather
rubbed smooth with a cloth.
How to Treat a Cold.
A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says : When you get chilled
all over and away into your bones, and
begin to sniffle and almost struggle for
your breath, just begin in time and your
tribulation need not last very long.
Get some powdered borax and snuff the
dry powder up your nostrils. Get your
camphor bottle, smell it frequently,
pour some on your handkerchief and
wipe your nose with it whenever need
ed. Your nose will not get sore, and
you will soon wonder what's become of
your cold. Begin this treatment in the
forenoon and keep on at intervals until
you go to bed, and you will sleep as well
as ever you did. I'm just telling you
my experience.
We have tride it and know it is a good
remedy. Ed. Times
Proportion of Cream to Milk.
The first fifth portion of milk from
the cow contains about one-twentieth
part of cream; the second fifth, one
twelfth ; the last fifth, one sixth. How
important then to be careful to get the
last and richest drop, even if it were
not true that cows are quickly dried up
by a slovenly practice of leaving a small
portion in the udder. Cows will contin
ue to give a flow of milk at a much
longer period when milked dry. Farm
ers, it will be seen, receive a double ben
efit by such a course. First, there is
more cream in the milk, and second,
the flow will continue much longer;
two requisites in all dairy countries.
ESTTo clean a mica in your stove take
a little vinegar and wuter and wash the
mica carefully with a soft cloth ; the acid
removes all stains, and if a little pains
is taken to clean the corners and to wipe
them dry the mica will look as good as
new. If the stove is very hot tie the
cloth to a stick and so escape the danger
of burning your hand.
C2TI)ust is more injurious to plants
than mauy suppose. Those who grow
plants in their houses should with a
sponge wipe off the leaves of all smooth
leaved plants. Others should beset in a
tub or in a sink, and watered with a
fine rose watering pot. When dusting
rooms in which flowers are kept cover
the plants with paper.
How She Saved Money.
"For nearly six years my daughter
was most of the time on a sick bed from
kidney and other disorders peculiar to
women. We had used up our savings
on .doctors aud prescriptions without
any beuefit. Our dominie advised us
to try Parker's Ginger Tonic, and four
bottles effected a marvelous cure. As it
has been our only medicine since, and a
dollar's worth lias kept our family well
over a year, und have been able to lay
by a little money aguin for a rainy day."
