Corn for Bi-rrdiajr Cow.
Most authorities say, and truly, that
grain, and especially corn meal, should
not be fed to cows with calf. It n too
fattening, and increases the danger
from milk fever or other diseases at
farrowing time. But an old farmer
tells us that he has always practised
giving a few can of corn daily to cows
for a week or two before calviag. His
cows always do well, drop Their calves
without difficulty, and he regards this
feed as one of the causes of their easy
parturition. The corn is not enough in
amount, or continued long enough to
fatten, and probably its beneficial effect
is duo to its influenco in keeping the
bowels open. Corn h a laxative
food, especially if fed in the ear, and
vrhero roots cannot be .had, it may in
such casc3 be substituted for them.

The Culture of Artichoke.
Artichokes arc of two kinds; one is
the tender, succulent, globular head of
a plant which has much of the good
qualities of asparagus, and the other is
the tuberous root of a species of sun
flower, and is called Jerusalem or Bra
zilian artichoke. The former is grown
from seed planted in rich soil in hills
three by two feet apart, and as it is per
ennial, like asparagus, it yields a crop
every year after the first, whea only a
small quantity U produced. A packet
of seed costs 10 ceuts. The other kind
is not really an artichoke, although it is
60 called. It is p". anted aud cultivated
as potatoes are, the tubers being cut
into pieces, and the plaits should be
four feet apart each way. It is exceed
ingly productive; 1300 bushels per acre
arc a common yield; but as it roots
very deeply all tha tubers cannot le
gathered, and the plant? once cultivated
will occupy the grouni as troublesome
weeds for years afterward. The tubers
are sold at the seed stores for 1.30 the
peck. There is no necessity for a:iy
further directions, as the culture is as
simple as that of potatoes. New York

Geese are not prolitablc unless one
has a suit able place for keeping them.
A strip of low, moist land allordiag
green grass all summer and adjacent to
a pond, or with a small brook running
through it, will just suit them. When
raised on the bank of a river or a smaller
etroam subject to sudden freshets they
need watching, chc tlu'y may take a
ride and go so far as never to come back.
Many persons arc quite fond of fat
young geese, and when market d in
that.condition they usually bring agood
price, but touh, old gecic arc har&tov
sell at any price. They may commoajy
be picked twice a year, aud the feathers
will about pay for their keeping. Ducks
are more profitable th in gees?, as they
mat ire earlier, lay more eggs and sell
better in market. They arc the greatest
scavengers of the feathered tribe, and
of all others have tho best faculty of
making their own living. Neither
geese nor ducks should be allowed on
the grass plot around tho house. Pekin,
Rouen and Aylesbury ducks and Kmbdea
and Toulouse geese rre large and
favorite varieties. New York World.

Some twenty-five or thirty years ago
ft few of the more prominent contrib
utors to the agricultural press were
urging the great importance of an analy
sis of the soil of every farm, in ordi-r
that the owner might determine for
what kind of crops it was best adapted,
also if it tontaincd too much of any
one substance or too little of another to
insure tho greatest fertility. The
author of Elements of Agriculture,"
1854. declare 1: 4The farmer cannot
be too strongly advised to procure an
analysis of his soil, and for obvious
reasons." The "cbviou? reasons," how
ever, consisted mainly in paying a cer
tain clique of self-assumed chemists '$3
3 $10 for a half-wuy analysis of
a few ounces of soil. Hun
dreds of farmers believed there was
something in the new theoret
ical agriculture, and paid their hard
earned cash only to find out that thrj
analysis of a few ounces of soil talc n
from one placu on their farm was of
really no practical mi in determining
the fertility or barrenness of that whih
had not been analyzed. If the soil oi
the entire farm to the depth of one or
two feet could be thoroughly inter
mingled an I thin a ton or more of this
analyzed,-we might make a vjry close
U?ss as to the amount of valuable con
stituents an acre contained, or was
needed to make the soil fertile, or
adapted to the growth of certain kinds
of plant. Hut as the chemist only pro
pose 1 toanalyz. a f;w ouacjs of soil,
his work would be of little value to the
practical farmer. New York S in.
WoM Mohcj From Winter .71 hii mi ,..-.
A son of a neighbor wh. i, oltJIi
Bpokcn of as the best farmer i.i town,
snysO. S. B.iis in the New York
Tribune, began an experiment in win
ter nnnuring several years ago. A piece
of land intended for corn was selected
and one half manured in winter, tin
other just before ploughing time in
spring. The land and manure w re
alike throughout and the culture the
same in every particular. The result
was given me in detail about a year ugo
and I do not remember the order of
cropping, but it was stated by the young
man, and confirmed by another who
had assisted at harvesting some of the
crojx, that every crop since the applica
tion of the manure had been bctteupon
the portion on which the manure " was
applied in winter. It was, moreover,
stated that to all appearances the
manure applied in tho spring and im
mediately ploughed under was practi
cally lost. This accords with my ex
perience and observation, and I believe
there arc good and well-defined reasons
for it.
I never knew an experiment of the
kind to fail to (how first of all in the
better and more friable condition of the
surface soil of the winter-manured sec
tion at ploughing time. This is due to
the distribution of the fertilizing ele
ments of the manure by the action of
the frost and water and their retention
as prepared plant food in the surface
soil. Ploughmen have often asserted
that they could feel the difference in the
two portions of the field as soon as the
plough crossed the dividing line. I be
lieve that millions of cords are every
year as effectually lost by ploughing
down as if dumped into a running
stream. Of course much depends upon
character and condition of soil into
which the manure is ploughed, and the
loss may bo all the way from total to
very little or none. I am convinced that
much better results follow the exposure
of the manure upon the surface for a
considerable time thr.n tho immediate
burying of it. There may be loss from
surface application in dry, warm weather
but it is very 6mall at other times. "
ScaonMllc Reminder.
All meat should hi cooked before be
ing fed to fowls. They need it every
day, if eggs are expected.
Water, green fool and meat fowls
must have to prosper during the win
ter. There is one part of the farm that is
not benefited by tho drainage; the ma
nure heap.
Politeness pays in the cow-stable. A
gentle man gets more milk than a harsh
man.
Straw and corn-fodder are best
worked into manure by putting them
through good animals.
The best preventive of trouble at
lambing time is daily exercise for the
ewes during winter.
Take the bridles with you when you
go to breakfast, and put them near tho
stove while you eat.
Separate the weaker animals; they
need extra feed, whereas with the
stronger th'y get scant feed.

History of the Preface .
Their most ancient form was that of
the epistle dedicatory, in which, while
the author presented the result Of his
labors to some gracious jpatrtra or td
feome relative of intimate friend, he
would generally give an outliile of his
plan, its origin, of an, explanation of
the object which he had in view. Plays;
boemsi and romances had these opis
tlesi as well afe works of a serious or
critical character. They are generally
Veil worth reading, for often we oome
upon passages in them which are of
purely personal interest, or which seem
to throw a sudden and vivid side-light
upon the history of the times in which
they were written.
The preface "to the reader" was, per
haps, first adopted because it was found
to fill a want which could not be sup
plied by the epistle dedicatory alone.
The patron was not always learned
enough, or on sufficiently familiar terms
with the writer to appreciate an account
of hi3 difficulties and his studies; he
could not be expected to triumph with
When those difficulties were overcome)
and those studies were brought to the
desired result. The "reader" Was A
Vague and unknown, but, possibly, in
tensely sympathetic person and if, On
the other hand, lie had only taken up1
the book for the purposes bf hostile
criticism, it was but fair to both that a
Word of wcrning should be addressed
to him, and that in furnishing him with
the author's own weapons a goodly
list of authorities and arguments he
should be given to understand in yet
plainer language that his judgment was
neither respected nor feared. This
form of prefaoe (to the general reader)
is to be found originally in conjunction
with the epistle dedicatory) which it
supplemented, and afterward entirely
superseded. The dedication Uras then
completely separated from the prefacei
and became gradually shorter and
more nat iral in expression, till it final
ly took the simple form which it bears
at the present day. On the other hand;
the preface became longer and more
elaborate, till, in Dr. Johnson's time,
it had all tho characteristics of a crit
ical essay. As, for instance, hie preface
to his edition of Shakspeare, to which
he added four others, of the same
scope, by r;hakspearBs other editors,
Tope, Theobald, Sir Thomas Hanmerj
and Dr. Warburton; while the first
four volumes of what are known as his
"Lives of the Poets" were published
by tho booksellers of London as "Pref
aces biographical and critical of the
most eminent of the English poets"
what Johnson himself humorously
called his "Little lives and little pref
aces to a little edition of the English
poets." Gentleman's Magazine.

milGHT'S DISEASE, DIABETES, and
kindred maladies, have been very largely treated,
and cures effected in thousands of cases which
had been pronounced beyond hope. These dis
eases are readily diagnosticated, or determined,
by chemical analysis of the urine, without a
personal examination of patients, who can, therefore,
generally be successfully treated at their homes.

examination of the urine in our consideration of cases, with
reference to correct diagnosis, in which our institution long ago
became famous, has naturally led to a very extensive practice
in diseases of the urinary organs.
