I> v' ' • ; COBN OK WHEAT FOR POULTRY.--That f corn does not provide sufficient fat or albumen for the requirements of a lay* iBg hen, while wheat supplies these nec­ essaries in abundance, is incorrect as to corn, for corn contains five times as much fat as wheat, and more than three- f . fourths as much albuminoids. In fact, oorn is a richer food for hens than j|heat. Also, that " corn-fed hens do not lay, while wheat-fed ones do," is a mistake. But a change from corn to wheat is healthful and advisable, not , that corn is not sufficiently nutritious, bat that a variety of food is good for all , animals. * J ** "WATERING PLANTS.--Plants set against Walls and piazzas frequently suffer from Want of water, even when ground near tbem is qv ite wet. Draw away the soil around each plant so as to form a basin; fill it with a bucketful of water^ allow­ ing it time to soak gradually away, and, when the surface has dried a little, draw t' t* loosely the soil over it, and it will do without water for some weeks. This W*pplies to all plants wanting water through the season. If water is merely poured on the surface, it is made more * impact by the weight of water, and the harder the soil becomes the easier It dries, and, the result is, the more • pater you give the more is wanted.-- ""Gardener's Monthly. ' " vGna AS FUSL .--The American Ag­ riculturist says: "Some journals, whose 5 - conductors know very little about eorn- - growing and other things in the West, • make their annual outcry in regard to the extensive consumption of corn for 4 ' fuel, which they consider a great and inexcusable waste. Suppose the Ne­ braska or Minnesota farmers were to " aell two tons of corn for $6, and buy ft half ton of coal for the money, and £jj}e corn was at once takentoa distillery and turned into whisky, would this be any better? The farmer would prob­ ably have to make two journeys of ten to twenty miles each with his loads, and be out bf pocket at least $6 by his trade. *Che fact is, corn is an excellent fuel, •ad, although it may seem at first sight to be wrong to burn up an article of food, yet it is but a mere sentiment %hich overlooks the fact that to warm one's self by a fire, and to do the same by the consumption of food, are in the end precisely similar in effect. If more •warmth can be procured by consuming a stove $1 worth of corn than $1 worth of coal, it is a legitimate use for the corn." FARMERS SHOULD THINK.--There is no business with which I am acquainted •yhich affords greater scope for thought, f «r which is more provocative of reflec­ tion, than farming. The careful farmer ^|aust be daily meeting "with subjects ( which challenge thought and require the most profound study. Farmers ought to be the most thoughtful class of ^people in •he country. The balancing of cause and effect in a business wherein a thousand causes are operating de- ' Stands more thought and a more phil­ osophical mind than any other business i lihatever. It is possible for farmers to ,j get into the ruts, and go in the beaten track year after year, without thought; .. but such farmers are not successful^and each year are becoming lesq/M). Wheli\ Over a farmer gets out of the ruts-- ceases to do things because it has al­ ways been the practice--he necessarily hi" to think. It is pretty safe to say that such farmers will be sure to want all the agricultural books and papers ikey can get. And, as thinking men Ultimately must always supplant those Who do not think, the problem how fanning is to be made successful and the farmer more honored, will be set­ tled, as so many like problems have been, by the Darwinian law--" the sur- vival of than*#*-"--Country Gentle- . .

POTTED BEEF.--Take a piece of lean beef weighing five pounds, and free it from the skin and gristle; put in a covered stone jar with a half teacupful of water, and stand the jar into a kettle of boiling water to boil from five to six houip; ace that the water does not boil into the jar. When done, take it up and cut into shreds; then pound in a mortar with a seasoning of pepper, salt and ground cloves. When smooth and like paste, mix with ten ounces of clari­ fied butter; press into little jars, pour butter over the top and tie down for use. PLAYING DtCTECTIVX. Old S lived in the city of D , the proprietor of a well-known tavern. He was von Deutscher. Seldom was he beaten by a dead-head, and he made his brags accordingly--that few men ever gpt a square meal at his place for nothing. One day, however, a gentle­ man, whom we will call D----, made a bet that he would dine upon a certain day at S 's expense, $5 being the sum at stake. Mr. D went to the tavern at the appointed time, and, in a very excited manner, informed mine host that he was a detective officer in quest of an individual who had stolen $10,000 from a bank. He had received information that the thief would dide there that day. Mr. D said he would step in at dinner time, and, if the individual was there, would seat himself at the table, but he preferred not to ar­ rest him in the house. His plan was to let him eat, then foUow him out and make the arrest. The so-called detect­ ive eat down to a sumptuous meal, ey­ ing * stranger who sat at his right hand. The unsuspicious stranger finished his meal and took his departure, followed by D and the landlord. D---- told mine host to call the man, and he would go and get the help of a brother officer down the street. Deutscher hailed the stranger, who suddenly stopped. " I was just about to return and pay my bill. How much do I owe you?" "Forty cents," said S . " Here is your money, sir, and my advice to you is, never follow me again, you old. Sour Kraut!" " You scoundrel!" said the landlord. " I will have you under ar­ rest! " And -the two men almost came blows. D , who was some dis- ee off, looking on the scene, was con­ vulsed with -laughter. The boisterous mirtq of D---- reached the landlord's ears, and immediately, like a flash, he smelt a mouse. Turning on his heel, he started for home, with the curses of the stranger ringing in his ears. For once he owned he was sold. - Chicago Ledger. 1 AT a Coroner's inquest in California a Chinese;, physician of high repute among his countrymen testified that a man has seven lungs. 0 The heart, he •aid, usually has five holes in it, and its principal use is " to catch air in."

" WL»at AK YOU Going to Do About It?** Because the penalties of physiological laws are not executed speedily, some fancy they are void. But when the SYSTEM breaks down, and almost hopeless complications arise, which the family physician, by reason of his limited expe­ rience, fails to relieve, the pertinency of the above inquiry is apparent Many remedies ft * search " ie required, and the title earefuilv examined, so invalids should carefully investi­ gate the claim* of any physician offering to treat chronic diseases.
