Analysis shows that they contain considerable nutritive matter, but it is doubtful if the stomach of animals can extract it from such hard, woody materials as corn cobs. They may help to fill up and distend the stomach and intestines, and that is all.

—Those who keep! sheep should place salt in some place accessible daily to the sheep. It is said that in Spain, whenever sheep are kept in the neighborhood of rock salt hills or sea salt, and have access to it, they thrive better than in other situations, and in ‘France the same thing is found to exist in the neighborhood of the cecast and the salt works of the north; sheep give more and better wool and the mutton is more highly esteemed than that from other localities.

The sooner it is put into the oven after the addition of the baking powder and flour the better. Bake in jelly tins, in a hot oven fifteen minutes.

. Testing Seed Corn. The severe and unprecedented cold in November to a very considerable extent killed the germ in corn where seed was not properly cared for by having been well cured and the cob entirely dried out. This may have been done by artificial heat—by heat from fire or stove—or - having well matured and assorted corn dried well and stored in loft before the cold set in. Farmers should test their corn for seed by sprouting, which is attended with but little labor or time. My plan I will give for the benefit of those wishing to prove their corn. Procure two sods, fit in a basin or box, the lower one with the grass side up, the other on top with grass down, so that the grass siaes come close together; then go to the crib or shooks and take out promiscuously a certain number of grains, from, say, a’ dozen ears, tightly press the kernels downward in the lower sod, then cover up with the top sod—just after you have thoroughly scalded with boiling water both the sods and the roots and earth sticking to them. Place the vessel containing the seed near the stove or fire, and let it remain four or five days, being careful that the sods are all the time kept warm. Then take out and examine, and all the grains that have sound germs will be found to have shot forth sprouts from one to three inches long; those having been injured will not have started, but will have assumed a dark appearance. I tested my seed last week with the following result: From thirty--Bix grains taken from six ears, three from the inside and three from the outside of the heap in a loft of several hundred bushels, every grain had sprouted, and forty-eight. grains taken in like manner—four from the inside and outside of eight shocks standing in the field, three-fourths, or thirty-six ‘grains, had sprouted; but the sprouts were shorter and looked much weaker than those taken from the loft. 'The twelve remaining grains had the dark or bluish appearance spokeu of, which was attribatable, in my opinion, to having been frosted and injured thereby. It behooves all judicious and ﬁood farmers to look well to this and now to a certainty before planting time that their seed corn will all grow. A failure in this one particular af;a‘ys proves disastrous to the crop: I would sooner pay three prices for first-rate seed than plant - doubtful seed at any price. There are five ways in which: the ‘careful farmer may insure his next year’s seed corn to grow. 1. Take it off the stalk early in September, strip off all but enough of the husk to hang up in a dry shed or loft. 2. Husk out early in Qctober and dry out by artificial heat before hard freezing sets in. 3. Snap or jerk off the ears and store away in the dry when sufficiently ripe, and let it remain unhusked till plantin timé. 4. The lazy farmer's way, o% just letting the seed remain on the stalk unsbocked till after the hard freezing has passed, the husk in these two instances forming a perfect preventive from any humicfity or frosts of winter, 5. Buxgmg ‘the corn after it is well ripened, precisely as you would potatoss from. winter. Tge, aborigines of this country buried their corn in hillocks for the next. season’s planting, thus securing the germs from the effects of hard freezing.—Cor. Practical Yarmer. = o 0 0 !

Wasting of Meats. ) How much of our daily bread—that is, meat—is wasted between the larder and the table is one of those things that ¢t no fellow can find out;”’ but it is possible to designate a few of the ways of waste. At the fop of the list stands the practice 6f washing meat, not with soap and water, as one of our far-away correspondents claims to attend the ablutions of such unfortunate chickens as fall into her hands, but with ¢ plenty of clean, cold water.”” Of course the daughter of neat New England ought to know better than to set aside all the precepts of her cleanly ancestry, but here sie takes her stand with vigorous protest against the meat-washing of any save smoked or over-saltea viands. She persists in wiping flesh and fowl with a clean wet cloth, which will remove any mildly objectionable substance. 1f such gentle means are insufficient-she deals no more with.the butcher who sent her more than her fair share of that ‘¢ peck of dirt.”” She insiSts that the washing of meats wastes their nutriment with every drop of animal fluid that the water attracts to itself, unlessthe same water be used for soups, stews or sauces, for when the meat is, exposed to the action of water there is an instantaneous interchange of fluids unless the water be at the boiling point and there maintained. Once the actual cooking of meat is commenced the unavoidable waste of its substance may be estimated at\‘about one-third in bulk, except in frying. All the variqus methods of cookery may be concentrated under three heads. 1. The application of direct heat from the fire or from hot air, as in roasting, broiling and baking. 2. The action of hot water or steam, as in boiling, stewing, braising and steam- : B, o o ing. The instantaneous searing of the surface of food by intense surrounding heat, as in frying. The actual waste in substance proceeding from these ditferent methods may be stated as follows: Four pounds of meat will lose in roasting or broiling before the fire one pound and a half; in baking in the oven one pound and a quarter; in careful boiling, stewing or braising one pound; in trying, . e., entire immersion in smoking hot fat scarcely any. ,So, at the first thought the latter method might seem the most economical. This is not the case, for in stews, braises and thick soups, carefully made, nearly all the nutriment which the meat loses is preserved in the broth or sauce, which both become vehicles for the addition of cheap and satisfactory aliment in the form of dumplings or vegetables. Such addition is necessary in order to make a given quantity of boiled meats as nutritious as an equal bulk of roasted or broiled meat. All broths and stews should be cocked slowly and kept closely covered, so that no nutriment is driven off during the escape of steam caused by violent ebullition. Another source of waste is the removal of the scum’ which rises to the surface of the water when the cooking begins; this scum is composed largely of .the albumen which the water draws out of the meat, and it should not be removed unless a clearsoup is being made; if taken from the broth for a clear soup it should be added to whatever thick soup or stew is under preparation. The process of braising is closely allied in methods and results to that of stewing, and presents food in an exceeding palatable and digestive form. It is at this point that the advisability of frying may be questioned, even supposing that the frying is well done, which is not often the case; by bad frying the dyspepsia flourishes, while by frying well done all the juices and the substance of the food are retained, but the crust produced by the action of the hot' fat can not fail to tax weak digestive powers. : Unquestionably the broiling and roasting of meat—literally the least economical ways of dressing it—present it in the most palatable and wholesome form. Both in boiling and roasting the meat should be exposed to the direct heat of a clear hot fire, so that a light crisp crust may be quickly formed and serve to retain the juices of the meat; in broiling, this crust will form close to a hot fire in about three minutes for each side of the meat; in roasting, with joint, may be browned in fifteen minutes; in baking meat in a hot oven, about twenty minutes will be required. Although baking resembles roasting somewhat, the results are less desirable, because the hot fat spatters from meat and burns up on the interior of the oven producing unpleasant and unwholesome vapors unless the oven is very well ventilated. Slow baking and that accomplished by irregular heat, are sources of great waste of nutriment and flavor.

To avoid waste in broiling and roasting, the fire must be clear, hot and steady, and the meat exposed directly to its heat until its surface is browned. It may thenbe set a little away from the fire, but a regular heat must be maintained. All drippings and gravy must ‘be preserved an(i) in broiling meat over the fire a grooved gridiron must be used to keep the fat frcm falling on the coals and blazing up against the meat. The free circulation of air renders both these methods desirable, and very little change takes place in the chemical constituents of the flesh. Underdone roasts and broils may be more savory and possibly more nutritious than those well done, but they are less digestible, and consequently less economical, for the economy of food lies wholly in the nourishment it furnishes the system. - The actual nutritive value of bones is but little known; they are even relatively valuable, the bones of the legs of animals affording more nutrimment than those of the back and ribs. During experiments undertaken st the instance of the English Government, Dr. Edward Smith demonstrated that under long continued boiling the amount of heatfood produced from bones equaled onethird of that contained in beef, and the quantity of flesh-food relatively onesixth. From personal experience the statement may be made that the addition of vegetables to bones affords the basis of broth both palatable and wholesome. The so-called waste portions of a carcass—the head, feet, tail, cartilage and skin—have even more food value than bones.—Juliet Corsom, in N. Y. Times. S : : :

The Boers, and What They Want. A correspondent asks what the Transvaal is, what its inhabitants, the Boers, have done, and what the English have done, and why they want to fight about it. Without entering at this time into minor details of difference or the later incidents that have pushed exasperation to hostility we wilil name the broader features of the controversy. The Transvaal is a region that includes all the country to the north of the Vaal River—and hence the name —as far as the Limpopo (or Crocodile) River, and embraces both sides of the Quathlamba Mountains. It lies between latitude twenty-two degrees fifteen minutes and twenty-eight "degrees forty minutes south, and longitude twenty-six degrees to thirty-two degrees fifteen minutes east. Its areais about one hundred and fifteen thousand square miles; and its population is estimated at three hundred thousand, of whom about one-tenth are whites. ‘ Now, certain Dutch Boers who lived in Cape Colony and Natal became dissatistied with British rule. They did not take kindly to a change which to the old Hollanders of Manhattan made so little difference. Like the people of the Orange Free State they thought they would %ike a government of their own. The Scotch were consoled for the merging of their nationality by the consideration that a Scottish dynasty was seated on the British throne; and it was long ago pointed out to Dutch colonists whose country was ceded to England that the circumstances of a Dutch Prince having ascended the English throne should reconcile themselves in a like mamner. But the Boers failed to see the matter in this light; such comfort they thought might have been wvery well for contemporaneous enjoyment but was of little worth. merely as ,a reminiscence. Thus it was that in 1840 these dissatisfied Boers marched, like so many modern Hebrews, out of the land of their masters and set up a Republic for themselves on the further side of the Vaal. They deemed this to be free territory, and thought that at least they would only have to contest their footing: withsavages. For a long time they cherished hopes that Great Britain would allow them to enjoy their independence in peace. But for some special reasons, apart from her customary lust for territory, Great Britain began to feel otherwise disposed. One » lausible reason given out for interference was the fear 'of a general war between the natives of Africa and the European colonists; and, at last, in 1847, the Transvaal was formally annexed to the Cape Colony. | Such, in brief, is an outline of 'the events that have led to the present war. England wants the Transvaal, like its neighbors, Natal and Cape Colony, to be added to the list of Imperial possessions, and asserts a claim to the soil prior to the Boer occupation; and the Boers want their independence: We have said enough to indicate alike the validity of their claim to this independence and - also, unfortunately, their slender chance of forcibly maintaining it.— N. Y. Evening Post. '

- —The list of edibles for the consump tion of civilized nations is gradually extending. Asses’ meat is the latest addition to the menu of the unprejudiced gourmet. It has lately been tried, dished up in a variety of forms, by a circle of enthusiasts at Brescia, similar in character, we take it, to the wellknown Societe I'Hippophogie, of Paris, and pronounced highly satisfactory. But this can scarcely ,be called a new discovery, if, as generally understood, the meat of the same animal is the chief component in the genuine Bolo,ina. sausage. We may note here that the Hungarian dish, Kolosh, which figures on the bills of many gity restaurants, chiefly German, is only an imitation of the real plat, which, in its native land, is made of horseflesh, while here it is counterfeited in beef. :
