Shrinkage of Corn.
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. ,
