QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
How about feeding whole corn
to poultry ?
When corn only is fed to fowls
it serves to fatten them, but dries
up their egg product; as compared
with wheat, barley, rice, oats, etc.,
it possesses very little of the re
quisite qualities that go to help the
creating of egg substance ; there
fore, for laying hens, whole corn is
avoided as a continuous food,but can
be given in the proportion of one
fifth corn to other grains and feed
allowed. Cooked meat once or
twice a week is said to be good for
laying hens.
- Can a poor, stony pasture be
renovated ?
Plwing up the ground and en
riching it while cultivating two or
three successive crops, and then
seed it down thickly with grass
seed, will greatly improve it. Or
the land can be top-dressed with
manure or guano and then seeded
down ?
Which corn brings the greatest
price, white or yellow ?
That depends upon circum
atances, and varies in different sea
sons; usually white corn commands
the best price, but at the present
time in New York yellow corn sells
some five or six cents in advance of
the white corn.
How can you tell when alfalfa
seed is ripe ?
Alfalfa seed in proper condition
presents a yellow, glossy appear
ance. When not ripe the seeds
are white.
Which loses the most from shrink
age in drying, corn or wheat ?
It has been contended that corn
loses one-fifth and wheat one-four
teenth by drying.
How many pounds does a bushel
of corn average ?
In most States fifty-six pounds;
in N~ew York fifty-eight pounds to
the bushel.
MAIZE AS A FORAGE PLANT.
Maize, or Indian corn, when grow
ing, both in quantity of yield and
richness of food, ranks favorably
as a forage plant. Its yield on
good land is enormous. It has been
estimated, from actual experiment
by one of our most practical far
mers, that one acre seeded in drill
ed corn may be made to furnish
food at the South for five horses
for a whole year. At a certain
stage of its growth all parts of the
plant are rich in saccharine matter,
and furnish excellent food, relished
by stock of all'kinds, and may be
used with good profit in fattening
pork. Its greatest drawback is
that, being an annual, it requires
renewed planting and cultivation
every year, and it makes heavy
drafts on the fertility of the soil.
With a rye crop to precede clover
and green corn to follow, the provi
dent farmer need have little appre
hension of a scarcity of forage for
horses or other stock nearly one
half of the year.
EDUCATION AND TRANSITION IN
AGRIcULTURE.-Inl an address be
fore the New York State agricultu
ral society, the president of Cornell
University said : "The present sys
tem of skinning lands and then:
running away to soils more fruitful,
in the intention of robbing and run
ning away from them in turn, can
not last. Men must get a subsis-I
tence on less and less land. We
see the beginnings of this now.
Already it is becoming less and less
easy for the farmer's boy to be sure
that the little dark office in the
greaitybok swarming with law
SAVING MIANURE.
Probably but few farmers exist 4
who have not read articles in the
papers advising them to keep their
stable manure under cover in a
cellar under the stalls, or under a
shed ; but in both places dung is
liable to become too dry, and the
straw among it will not decompose
as rapidly as it wilfwhen exposed to J
rains; or if it be all horse dung, it
will "fire-fang," and will be greatly
injured. A cellar under the stable
stalls, into which all the mannre,
and urine of the stock is received,
is a good thing, but it would -be a
great deal better if the manure
could be thoroughly wet once a
month from a pump adjoining or
near the cellar. The same can be
said of manure under a shed when
piled in deep ; it must be kept
moist or it had better be kept in
the open barnyard. Indeed, we
are of the opinion that when a
barnyard is made concave, with no
drain to it, manure can be kept in
it from fall to spring without any
loss. Som.o farmers think that
much of the virtues of manure in
open yards pass down into the
soil and are lost; but such is not
the case, as it will be found on re
moving it in the spring that the
soil under it has become colored
but two or three inches deep. Now
we claim that if an abundance of r
litter be used upon the surface of I
the manure to retain moisture and a
to prevent evaporation, all that a
farmer makes can be as well pre
served in his open barnyard as
under cover; and we would pre- L
fer to have our manure spread
over the yard occasionally, and
covered with straw, than to have
it thrown into heaps by the stable
door and through windows back
of the stalls, and so remain all
winter, with much of its virtue
washed away and lost.
ETIQUE'TE AT TTE DINNER T BLE.
-There are a great many families
where table etiquette is almost ig
nored. The following impressive
suggestions ftre copied from a re
cent number of llarper's Bazar,4
which is always full of goodA
things:-We all have our various a
views as to what it is that consti
tutes fit and becoming behavior at H
the table. Perhaps none have quite
thd whole body of the law at their
command; but everybody has a
little manual of the chief'points,
and in that life where there is.any
material attention paid to comfort,
the greater part of the people
know enough to cause them to eat
with their forks, to keep their C
arms off' the cloth, not to lie side- -
wise on the table, to use their '4
.Si
spoon right side up, to butter their a
bread on the plate instead of in 1'
the air, to put their food into their1
mouths in a single morsel instead 2
of in a disappearing length like a
conjuror's ribbon, to. forbear the 1(
use of toothpicks, to drink their
tea from their cups, to keep the s(
plate the hostess sends them-4
these and other similar obser
vances every body knows and prac
tices them. ~Yet further refine- s
ments, moreover, are in the pos- to
session of others; the knowledge Ci
of how much or how little it is Pi
proper to press a dish ; the man
ner of speaking to a servant; the a
necessity, where there are ser- a
vants, of letting every dish abso
ltely alone and keeping one's 01
fingers off of so much as a salt
cellar.
ORANGE CAKE.-T bree-fourths
of a cup of butter, one and a halt
cups of sugar, four eggs (beaten
separately), three and a half cups
of flour, two heaping teaspoons of
baking powder, one cup of milk.
For frosting: One orange, grate ia
the rind and squeeze the juice and at
pulp, and three-fourths of a cup of p
sugar, and then the oage juie
I make two cakes of three layers. h
DoUJGNTJS.-Six cups of flour, l
one and a half cups of sugar, three
teaspoons of baking powder, one L
teaspoon of salt, butter the size of sa
half an egg. Mix thoroughbly. Then te
add four eggs well beaten, and
moisten with sweet milk until a4
soft dough. Flavor with nutmeg
or cinnamon.
Egg shells form one of the best F
clarifiers for cider and wine. One
pint of pulverized egg-shells will
clarify one barrel of cider or wine i
in from twenty-four,to forty-eight
hours, according to the clearness c
:>f the weather.

Eclectic Magazine
OF
FOREIGN LITERATURE.
T
THIRTY-THIRD TEAR.
THE ECLECTIC reprints from all the foreign .
Quarterlies, Reviews, Magazines, and Jour
nals, their choicest contents, including I
EssAYS, SCIENTIFIC PAPERS, BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCHES, REMINISCENCES OF TRAVEL AND _
ADVENTURE, TALES, STORIES AND POEMS.
The Iield (of selection is very large, and it
is believed that the EcLECTIC p)resenits A
GREATER VARIETY AND IGHIER SrANDARD OF
LITERATURE than any periodical can hope
to do that depends exclusively upon home
talent.
A knowledge of the current literature of
other couintries is indlispensable to all who
would keel) pace with the progress of the (
human mind ; and the ECLECTIC offers the
best, and, indeed, the only, opportunity for
obtaining this knowledge within a reason
able compass, and at a moderate price.
Among the writers represented in recent
numbers-of the ECLECTIC are: The Rt. Hon.e
W. E. Gladstone, Jamies Anthony Froude'
Matthew Arnold, Charles Kingsley, Robertt
Buchanun, Geo. McD)onald, .John Ruskin, y
Alfred Tennyson, T1homIas Hughes, William
Black, Mrs. Oliphant, Thos. Hardy, William
Morris, Miss Thiackeray, Mrs. Alexander,
Profs. HIu.xey and Tyndall, Richard Proc
tor. B.A., Prof. Owen, Dr. W. B. Carpenter,
Max Muller, J1. Norman Lockyer, Herbert
Spencer. and others equally eminent, lBe- I
sies the regular articles in the body of the a
magazine. there arc four original Editorial C
Deparments: LITERARY NOTICES, FOREIGN tj
LITERARY NOTES, SCIENCE AND ART and
VARIETIES.
With regard to the character of the selec
ions, the aim of the ECLECTIC is to be in- %
stuctive without being (lull, and entertain n
ig without being trivial. While each nurn- hi
er contains something to interest every v
member of the family circle, it addresses r
itself p)articular'ly to that great body of e
intelligent readers who seek profit as well
s amusement in solid and healthful litera
ure.
Besides the 128 pages of reading matter,~
ach number of the magazine contains a.
INE STEEL-ENGRAING-usually a portrait
-executedl in the most artistic manner.
