Lo \u2014 Scribner for June.; Nutritive.Value of Corn.\u201c ho following interesting talk on Indian corn is from the Boston Journal of Chemistry : # The prejudice against the use of \u201cinate as an arhcle of human food, among certain classes of people, is surprising, and this prejudice is baskd on ignorance.Our corn is seldom found.in: Irish cv Eoglish kitclrens, although millions of bushels are ex- - ported to England every year.The : people there are étrangers to those New England laxries, corn bread and pudding, and we suppase it will be a long time before they know anything of them.- Indian corn is one of the mest important and healthful articles of bu.man food that a benificent Providence has bestowed upn men; and to its bigh nutritive value is due in 4 large degree the strength and vigor of the race of men wbo laid the founda- - tion of this great republic.It was much more largely used fifty or one hurdred years ago than now, as fine wheat flour, for some not well founded reason, bas nsoiped its place in bread making.In the several forms, however, of hulled corn, pop corn, bominy samp, corn starch, maizents, ete., vast quantilies are consumed by all classes of people.Meal from Indian corn contains more than four times as much oleagi- mous matter as wheat ffour, more starch, and nearly as much nitrogenous material ; consequently in all climates it is abundantly adapted to for- nish beat-forming compounds.The oil gives, warmth, the nitrogenous principle gives muscular strength.The combination of alimentyry compounds in Todian corn renders it alone the mixed diet capable of sustaining man under the most extraordinary circumstances.It holds the elementary principles which constitute the basis of organi: life In this particular it is more remarkable than + any other vegetable preduction known to man.Thore is a large number of .dishes of which corn meal forms the basis, which are exceedingly palatable.What, for instance.is more de - ficious than cold corn pudding eut in slices and fried in sweet butter and lard ?.Hot corn cakes, when properly and skillfully made, are almost uni- versaliy regarded as a luxury, and Boston brown bread is famous everywhere in the country.The reason why corn meal is not more largely used at the present time is that it is « quite difficult to obtain it of dealers or grocers in a perfectly pure and sweet state.Millers grind the corn as it comes from the West, mixed with portions of the cob and saturated with dust and dirt, and this is sold for kitchen use, as well as stable use.Mach of the western corn is dumaged in transportation, and this is ground up with that which is sound.If good, sweet northern corn is ground in an old fashioned stone mill, ufter being vionowed to freo it from dust, a meal will result of a rich golden color, and no dish can be prepared from it which is nol palatable and most nutritious.In our family we use the Lakeside grown cora, selected for domestic use, puss it afler it is shelled through a Winnowing machine, and have it ground with \u201cmillstones which have Bden vovolviug for probably half a dontury.In this way we secure monl fii its hightest perfection, and this is what ought to be accessible to all families.in trials at tho farm to test the Comparative valuo.of meal from home grown corn and meal from commercial suurces, when fed to cows and other animals, we have learned the nutritive value of the former is nearly double.\u201d that of the latter, and this \u201cpractical result confirms analytical > RE rt Fe Tue Poraro Ror.\u2014Though we have bad no such univorsal destruction of the potatoof late years as we had some years ago, there are more or less evi- dendes of the dreaded potato disense to bo sen every year, or nearly every year in most sections of the country.Phe folinge and stems blackon and die, the'tuber rots and becomes extremely foatid and offensive.Some light bas been thrown upon the nature and character of the disease by modern inves: tigations: The evil has been found to be a delicute white mould\u2014whose threads mine and exhaust the plant, Such moalds are smong the worst pro- corrors of pestilence or famine.They are more fearful than the devouring fire.They belong to a class of plants called Fungi, parasitic destroyers all, the scavengers of the vegetable world.It is such a moull us you may see in Autumn, at once the murderer and shroud of the flies dead upon the window pane.Other fungi, not indeed of the special forms ot mould, ate the \u2018rust\u2019 or smui of coveal crops.The remaining difficulty, after tho discovery of the potato mould, the Pero: nospora, was to understand the full process of its full reproduction.Winter, in theory fatal to the lifo of any ordiniry form or germ of the potato: fungus, only laid the chill of a brief interruption on its devastating work.There must be, so botanists said, some secret retreat of vitality, some conversing crgan or seed out of which the Spring called tho evil powors into activity again.The riddle has just been read ty Mr.Smith, an English botanist of some repute.In tho stems and corrupting fragments of blighted potato plants, and under the dissolving influences of the Auatump 1ains, very small brown grains or spheres have been found, developed on the mould threads just as these are ready to die by frost.This is the preparation of the parasite for Winter.Everytbing else porishes.The mould and its dead host, the potato, crumble away.The little spheres, ouly the thousandth of an inch in diameter survive, waiting patiently in the frozen ground.In the spring they thaw and sprout, taking posses sion of other plants in the same soil.The microscopist is the first to detect and expose this wonderful resource of the short lived but destructive mould.Ic now becomes possible intelligently to press to extermination this pest, as o.hers, like the vine mould and the wheat rust bave had their ravares carbed before.Bad as the \u201cpotato rot\u201d has been in some pust years, we do not think it is to be so much dreaded as the approach of the Colorado beetle whose advent and spread over New England appears to be at hand.There have been many theories to account for the \u2018\u2018rot,\u201d as it was almost universally called, some of them having the appearance of plausibility, none of them came up to tho rigid tests of science.We hope the light which has recently been thrown upon the nature and characteristics of the disease will result in the suggestion of some practicai method of guarding against the losses from this source.\u2014 [Ploughman A Soctarn Curse.\u2014 Bad cooking is a positive curse.Perhaps the day may come when even the daughters of the rich will think it not beneath their dignity to learn how to make broad and pastry, bow to voust à joint or «cook a potato.Now, it would seem, that.it was not a very extended or difficult amount of culinary knowledge to be required of a young woman who is ready to venture on the sen of matrimony, but it will be considered quite large enough if wo compare the number of houses nt which we get a light piece of bread or a well cooked potato, with the number of houses in the community.It may be at once set down that yon cannot get a well cooked potato at any hotel.Tho servants in houses where people would like to live and have good cooking when thoy seo it are, in nine causes out of ten, under no genuine discipline, The lady of tho houso does not know or docs not care.A well cooked potato put upon the table, and eaten just at the proper time, is something that many men whoso butchers\u2019 bills foot up to hundreds of dollars yearly, know nothing of.A good meal depends more upon good cookery than upon cost.The joint or steak which it is impossible to cook to-Jay will in a fow days te in perfection, a broiled steak or chicken is, Ninety-nine ono hundreths of the cooks hired and wed, fry overything, that is to say they spoil it.One would Lhink it impossible to injure sweet corn, yet it is quite easy to allow it to remainin the water long enough to lose a good share of its sweetness.There is not only ccon- omy but ease in good cooking.For the ordinary malo person a few things made palatable will suffice.The wife who knows how to cater to one or two whims in eating, and how to roast and boil and prepare a bit of cold meat and make good bread, may defy ull There is a paper in the American Agriculturist for Mdy on Boil Exhaustion and Recuperation, by Profossor Atwater of tho Connecticut Agricul turial Station.Every ordinary soil, Prof.Atwator stutes, contains whole list of soil ingrodients of plant food, but to be useful to the plant |.these must not bo locked np in rocks or partly decayed vegtable mutter, but bo in an available form.\u2018The |?chief source of loss of plant food from the soil in ordinary furming practice is the removal of creps, - À part also

ways.agencies will bring it abzut in time, if we can afford to wait for them, by the The operation of natural tho dissolution of the rocks; and when land is lef} in fallow, these nat ural processes go on in the soil and prepare plant food for the next year's crop.The process may be hastened by active tillage and by drainage.Most sale fertilizers act in a similar way to disiolve the elemonts of the soil und prepare them for the crop, Exhaustion js the reduction of the producing capacity of the soil Lolow the point of profitable production, and depends on the removal of certain ingredients.Such removal must Le compensated cither by suitable fertilizing applications, or by making the unavailable rinterials still present in the soil available by fallow, tillage, etc.Prof.Atwater accompanies his paper with a valuable table compiled from German sources, exhibiting the exact ingredients of vegetable and fertilizing materials as determined by chemical analysis.The Utica Herald is of the opinion that the experiment of level culture of potatoes deserves more attention than it has received.In ridge or hill culture all rain and moisture necessarily soaks\u2019 through quickly, fornish- ing but temporary nutriment.The beat of à drouth soon dries out the ridge and venders its soil lifoless.Ridges often yield more potatoes when they are somewhat shaded by woeds, although a weedy potato patch is considered a sign of a slovenly farmer.Potatoes ave also liable to exude from the hill and be exposed to the sun\u2014 an expesure which ruins them.The natural location of any plant for growth is below the level of the ground, and this is especially truo of the tuber.A potato hill built above the level of the ground is not the natural receptacle for the secd, although copious crops have been produced in this way.There have as yet been no extended experiments in lovel culture.The chief objection is the difficulty of digging.The seed must be planted al least six inchos deep, and it is no possible to dig the crop with the ordi nary \u201chook\u201d so conveniently ns when it grows in hills.But thore is no ren son, in the opinion of the Herald why the decp lying tubers may not bo plowe:l out or othorwise brought to the surface by machinery.The experiment is at least novel enough to bo worth trying, and any farmer can make it for himself by devoting a corner of his field to it.pr \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 À very good rule to follow in regard to the purchase of fruit trees, shrubs, \u2019ete., is never to purchase of unknown and peripatetic nursery agonts without seeing beforehand the articles which are to be supplied, There is very often a remarkable difference betweon the samples exhibited and the articles sent after an order is given, Some symptons of cutancous dis- caso have manifested themseives in persons who have handled the Colora- ds potato beetles, cr inhaled the sinoke produced-by burning them, and the suggestion -has boon made that there is something poisonous about the in seats, ISxperimonts havo shown, how- over, that the cases of supposed poisoning are occasioned by the Paris green which is so commonly used tor the destruction of the post.A Western paper having spoken of Maine as u State \u201cwhere the original forests have hardly been broken in upon,\u201d and where consequently it is absurd to think of Centennial treo planting, the Maine Farmer roplics that wood in its vicinity is selling for 88 a cord, aud numerous settlers are receiving the benefit which has Leon offered for nearly ten yours past by the Legislature for the planting, growing and protection of forest trees.EE, - À young clergyman, at the first wedding he ever had, thought it was à vory good timo to impress on tho couple before him the solemnity of the act.\u201cI hops, Dennis,\u201d ho said to the man, \u201cyou have well considered this solemn stop in life.\u201d \u201cI hope so, your riverence,\u201d\u2019 answered Dennis.\u2014 \u201cIts a very
