CORN HUSKING.
The Wonderful Feat of a Long
Island Farm Hand.
He Husks 1OO Bushels of Corn
in Less Than Seven Hours..
There was a rustling in the corn
sfacks in John Daryea’s corn field in
Eniondale, . near Hempstead, Long Isl
and, one day recently, says the New
York Sun. Mr. Duryea asserts if his
man, John II. Macy, can't do anything
else he can husk corn. Some time ago
ho backed him for $100 to husk 100
bu-hcls of corn in sevea hours, the man
to take tiie corn as it stood stacked in
the field. lb- was to pull down the
stack* himself and tie and set up the
empty sheaves, The bet was taken up
by a number of persons who considered
the task an impossibility. Macy’s own
confi lence in his ability was only lim¬
ited by the extent of his pile, as a
number of the farm hands in that vicin
ity can now testify to their sorrow. The
ma'eh was to have taktui place some
time ago hut was postponed on account
of the weather.
The sun rose bright and warm on the
morning of the match. A big crowd
soon gathered about Mr. Duryea’a bara
in Uniondale. They spent their spare
t me adm rmg Mr. Duryea’s famous
horses that have taken the first premium
every year at the Q teens county fair and
looking at the stacks of corn in an ad¬
joining three-acre field. Nine o’clock
was the hour set for the husking to be¬
gin. Elgar Duryea was timer and
Uncle David Fowler was judge.
Uncle David is more than 80 yetis old.
He has husked many a bushel of corn
in his life, and witnessed many a husk¬
ing match, but he now says lie never
saw so good a man as Macy. Macy is
tall, big boned, and about 35 years old,
with a big blonde moustache. Hs
looked like business, ia a slouch hat
and flannel shirt and with his overalls
tucked in his boots. He was equipped
with an iron husking peg of his own
invention. It was sharp on both sides,
and had a slight bend in tho blade
near tho handle.
The corn stood just as it was stacked
up after cutting. There were 5t> hills
in each stack, aud between two and
one-quarter auu two and one-half
bushels of cars to the stack, A t the
word Macy attacked the stack that
st °od nearest him in the thice-acre lot.
Willi one stroke of his busker he ripped
the hands that bound the stack. Then
he pulled the corn down, and getting
on his knees began to make tho ears
a "f- He made only three movements in
husking an ear. He caught the ear
with his left haul near the middle.
With his right hand he drove the
busker in through the middle of the lu
husk, ripping it loose from the ear.
twist of his hands and tho naked car
went spinning iu the air. As soon as
he got an armful of stalks lie bound
and stood them up in a jiff/, lie
left a white and yellow wake of
corn belli ii il him. At first
Mr. Duryea put only one man to pick
up alter the busker. Macy soon left
him so far behind that Jfr. Duryea put
another man to help him. It made
their backs ache to keep up with Mary.
Uncle David said ho thought Mac/
could husk corn almost as fast as a nail
machine could turn out nails. Macy
husked tlw first eight slacks in 58
minutes. They contained 19 j bushils.
l„ three hours, mm mi ante an I U sec¬
onds lie husked 24 stacks, making 534
bushels. At the end of six hours, 29
ra j nll ( 0 q aa d 54 second* he had husked
46 slacks, macing ,,,,,,, 102 Imdials. This
gave him the match, with a two-bushel
margin, and 30 minutes, six seconds te
spare.
This, it is thought, beats the r cord
of the world ia husking corn, It is
said he could have finished the 100
bushels ten minutes sooner il If had
Ir.ed. M hen he g>t through c\eiy
stark was done up neat and strong, and
not an ear of corn remained on any
stalk hs had gone over, Three single
wagon loads and one double wagon load
0 f corn were hauled off the lUld. ^ l<
-
wa< apparently as froth at ths end as
he was at the start. The only mark on
his hands was where ho got scratchcl
in taking down tho last stack. He
challenges any parson ia the United
States to husk corn. He says he is
willing to put up from $109 to $590
that he can husk an car of corn every
second for five minutes, This would
be 300 ears in all. The corn he lin ked
is known n= Duryea’* Favorite, it is a
corn that Mi. Duryea has beta expert -
mentitiL' with for sixteen years. J It
husks the same as oril » w iry J corn.
Japanese Fondness for Fish
D.ii you ever visit the Fulton Fish
Market in the early morning? It is
crowded by a throng such as can be
found nowhere else—stewards, chefs
and hotelk.' pe s, boarding-house pro
prietors and restaurant people, cconom
ical k *it*e- wives and Chinese m.wchants.
One day this week I happened to be in
there, aud encountered tiie oddest per
son of them all. It was J. Yatsmoto,
a Japanese, who is the sueceesful pro
ictor of two boa - i mg- houses for hs
own countrymen. He btugltt so many
fish as to excite attention, and wheu
spoken to about it sai 1: “Oar people
from time imme noribie have preferred
g sb to al! other forms of animal food,
]t i« more than a rare event to u-t beef
for food, and almost unknown to use
vet', l.irnb or mutton. pork is used
in r : i esjueatly. Bit the great standby
fish. O.ir fisherman form a large
element of the population, and are
very skifif d. Labor i- very cheap at
home, «o that rn every village, town
and ritv you can buy ft h of every kind
and in any amount from a quarter of a

ouriaste- with us, and try as far a
pos-io.e to have the same fish diet as in
our own country.”— A>ic Tori. V -r. i
PEARLS OF THOUGHT.
The wise man does a thing first and
tells of it afterward.
The shortest way to do many things
is to do oniy one thing at once.
The self-made man is frequently ex¬
ceedingly proud of a very poor job.
Silence as to a man and his deeds
j "’Ll do more to extinguish him than
columns of abuse.
There is one thing about death—It
never complains that it doesn’t know
how to take some people.
Mutual understanding is the only ob
ject of language. Hence, when words
m-,. given a double meaning, a deception
is obviously intended,
If a man does not make new ac
q,i a j n tances as he advances in life, he
will goon find himself alone. A man
should keep his friendship in constant
repair.
The human race is divided into two
classes—those who go ahead and do
something, and those who sit still and
inquire, “Why wasn’t it done the other
way?”
Never whip your brain. AU high
pressure is dangerous. Study to think
as easily and ns quietly as you breathe.
Never force yourself to learn what you
have not talent for.
Hon Bison Were Exterminated.
As the Indians hunted them the race
of bison would probably have lasted
forever, writes Dr. Carver, but about
186(i the white men turned their atten¬
tion to the shaggy monsters of tho
; plains. Luge Eistern firms organized
hunting parties and paid ,the shooter
$2. 50 for each bison where he lay dead
on the plains. I then went to southern
Nebraska and became a professional
hunter. The bison consisted of two
large divisions, the one living in tho
north and the other in the south. Their
only common feeding ground was along
the Republican river and its branches
in Nebraska. Tho Indians were well
aware of the fact, and hostile tribes
have had many a fight for that terri¬
tory'. It was not until 18*3 that the
government put an end to this by send¬
ing the Pawnees south and the Sioux to
their northern reservation.
Like a herd of cattle tho bison are
always on tho go, and are apt to walk
out of rifle range in a short time. Ic
mov ng, however, they always have a
leader, aud the trick was to kill nny
one that started to lead the others off.
By thus killing the leaders we could
often shoot for an hour from behind
one clump of grass, anil when they
had moved from out of range the skin¬
ners would ontettp, cut the hide in
the ordinary way lor skinning, tie tho
an mal’s head to a stake, hitch a team
of horses to the hide and jerk it off.
No one will ever know what immense
numbers of bison were killed by these
hide hunters, but to my certain knowl¬
edge 3,000,001) hides were shipped
from the banks of the Frenchman river
in one winter, At the close of that
winter a man could go along the banks
of the Frenchman for 50 miles by
simply jumping from tho carcass of one
bison lo another. Now a few old circus
animals represent the great herds.
The Earth Getting Larger.
The earth, traveling in i s orbit
around the sun and onward with the
entire solar system around some un¬
known and still greater center of at¬
traction, is constantly traversing now
regions of space, which it depletes of
j meteoric dust and metorites, thus
steadily—no matter how slowly—n
c easing in diameter. Now let this
growth continue till the earth has just
twice the attractive power which it now
possesses; we would then have twice
h number of motcorite s and double
j the quantity of dust falling annually
j upon it than now.
i Fortunately for heads the earth
our
lias not as yet attained very formidable
dimensions, but we may look upon it as
an established fact that it constantly
gains in weight, and that iu proportion
I to such gain its attractive power stead
| | ily increases.
Tne attractive force of the sun is so
enormous that a perpetual hail of
| meteorite and a torrent of dust parti
c cs must rush upon it from all direc¬
tions, and some of the foremost ob
; servers arc now of opinion that these
faUing bodie , are tho sole cause 0 f the
| sun’s heat.
In the light of this theory our earth
i is young and growing, not an old and
a
dying planet, a planet with a future,
j which ought to be cheerful news to all
) of ^ although we shaU no t live to
the benefit of it . and tbesun, far

luminary, , steadily , ... . . in .

FOE FARM AND GARDEN.
AS experiment with gbit.
You may suppose tnat because your
hens have the run of a range, they pro
care all the gravel they desire, and so
they can—of round gravel—but as the
run may have been searched over for
months, and perhaps years, the supply
of sharp material may be sc tree. To
test this, break up soma glass, old
china, or other brittle miterial, and
notice the avidity with which the hens
will eat it. It is just as necessary to
supply the hens wi:h grit as it is to
provide them with food.
TO MAKE CATTLE THRIVE.
Cattle can thrive oniy by full feed¬
ing, and without thrift there can be no
profit. If milk be the object short
feeling is succeeded immediately by
loss of product and loss of power to
produce. It is, therefore, shortsighted
policy to dcjiend on tile season of year,
or without thought, to suppose tha:
cows with full stomachs must give full
yield of milk without regard to quality
of feed. Provident dairymen, careful
of their own interests, begin feeding
grain early in autumn and find profit in
jt.— Farm. F.e'd and Stockman.
SAVE THE VEGETABLES.
In nearly every garden there are nu¬
merous vegetable} left in the ground
that con'd be easily stored for winter
u:o, thereby adding to the profits of
tl c garden as well as to the luxuries ol
the table, as no meal is worthy the
name unless vegetables form a promi¬
nent part. It is astonishing to see how
much there is or may be in tho garden
upon the approach of winter that is
usually neglected—vegetables that are
difficult to obtain when wanted. There
is always a plenty of carrots, an indis¬
pensable vegetable for soups, and a
small quantity of which are sutficient
for winter use. A few beets are desir¬
able, and usually there are sufficient
allowed to spoil in the ground to make
many good dishes .—American Garden.
THE JERSEY COW AS A CHEESEMAKER.
The Jersey is considered pre-emi¬
nently as a butter cow, with her m st
profitable use in that direction, oa ac
count of the large proportion of cream
contained in her milk. Consumers of
cheese need not be to d that its excel¬
lence depeuds almost wh illy on the
quality of the milk from which it i
prepared, as is further well indicated
by the commercial terms of cretin
cheese, skim cheese, etc., according as
the milk lrom which it was made may
have been whole milk, or skimmsd anil
robbed of its cream. If tho milk be
poor in butter the cheese must be
equally so, and will grade according to
its richness or deficiency in cream.
Many persons are of the opinion that
cream which hat once been separate 1
can never be so well mixed again with
^he milk, that a portion of the fatty
matter will not flow out with the
whey, thus rendering the cheese less
rich. This has given rise to some dis¬
cussion as to whether rich Jersey milk
can be profitably made into cheese
without skimming. 3 According ° to the
late Professor Arnold, while the Jersey ;
is emphatically ,, a butter cow , her mi.k .
1
is rich iu cheese matter and can, with
out the waste of its buttery matter, be
converted into cheese as rich as En
glish Stilton. Professor Arnold was
speaking of new, warm milk, almost
immediately from the cows, when the
solids are in the most perfect 1 emulsion
and hence more of the globules of fat
will be hell bv the ronimt. AN i tli
mixed milk brought to a factory once a
the would be different. Practi- _

of ........ death from this cairto occur every
'
year. One . of , the symptoms . of r worms
is an unthrifty , coat ; and , , loss of . flesh. ,
Another is tho appearance of worms in
the faeces. An occasional feed of pul¬
verized copperas and gentian given the
animals in their grain is a pretty sure
preventive of most varieties of these
troublesome pests. The proportions
should be equal parts by weight of
each, and the dose for a full
grown animal a tablespoonfal,
which should lie given once or
twice a week. Some of the be-t breed
ers iu Kentucky mix pulverized copper
as in the salt which is constantly kept
within reach of tiiei. animals. It his a
better effect, however, to mix it with
gentian. One of the simplest and most
effective remedies for worms is super
carbonate of soda given iu milk and
molassess, after preparing the an ima!
with bran mashes. Feed sparingly on
bay and give a liberal bran mash at
night. Repeat this the following morn¬

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Slow and careless drivers maae lazy
horses.
Profit in cows it impossible without
ample feeding in any and every season
of year.
Oae worthless cur on a fa'm is a nui
sance, two an abotninalion, ' three or
more, a calamity to the entire neighbor
hood.
Keep the seed corn in a dry, well
ventilated place and keep it and all
other seed where mice and rats cannot
get.
It will be better to have a nice lot of
fodder near the barn when the first
snow comes than to have it buried out
in the field.
The man who ran iu debt during the
early spring and summer is now endeav¬
oring to run out again; but the chances
are against him.
The old idea that young cattle and
colts must winter at straw stacks in
open fields, to make them tough, hap¬
pily has g>ne, much to tha comfort of
the young animals.
The whip as an emblem of authority
in the relations between driver aud
horse is by no means obj action able, but
when it becomes aa authority itself the
driver is inferior to the whip.
Man is by nature sympathetic and
hence does not, cannot live for himself
alone. Is your life helpful or hurtful
to those with whom you sympathize?
The winter covering of strawberry
plantations may be safely delayed until
the ground lias frozen hard, when a
wagon can be driven over the beds and
the covering material more easily dis¬
tributed than if put on eariier.
To keep nuts in good condition store
in a dry, cool place. Chestnuts require
more care to keep them fresh and
plump. Mix the nuts with fresh sued
and pack in boxes, which may be placed
in some cool location or buried in the
soil out of doors.
Money is not lost that is spent in
beautifying a home. Every tree planted
out, is a monument to the glory of him
who planted it; and every flower is a
wreath for its grower, and every happy
homo is a perennial source of pride and
satisfaction to its possessor and founder.
There is no profit in rearing or keep¬
ing cattle, except through good feeding
iu all seasons of the year. No argu¬
ment is required to prove the truth of
this assertion, for even slightest refltc
tion shows that profit comes clear y only
through utilization of food beyond the
necessity for maintenance.
“When you kill a fowl hold its legs
and the long feathers of its wings in
your lift hand, and U3e tho hatchet
with tho right. Wheu the head is off,
hold firm the chicken until it has be¬
come stiff. Don’t throw it down and
let it kick itself to death.

Tke Days of Old.
af It is man’s prerogative and to be interest possessed him
the gift of history to
self in ancient things. He ‘‘considers the
days of old.” The instinct which lies at
the bottom of every historic study 1s a
iteling w hich we and the world of to-dav
have developed out of the old time that

the past is but a deeper way of looking
at the life that now i-. Every part of onr
modern appliances is the outcome of an
innumerable succession of things that led
up to it. The genius who startles the
world with a ••new” discovery, simply
avails himself of materials which previous
hands have prepared for his use, aud
passes them on in a more highly devel
oped form. "Looking back" is not only
« necessity in the promotion of man’s
material progress, but belongs at thesame
life; time to aud the it tiner. would the be surprising poetic instincts if it did of
not possess a profound fascination for
many thoughtful minds. The historian,
the antiquary, and in another way the
scientific student of nature, all find their
varied interest in that past world from
which we have grown to be what we are.
It is not a dead past. Its voices are not
mere echoes from t lie tombs. If “a
primrose by the river’s brim" is to the
poet something more, so to the instructed
and thoughtful student of antiquity is
even a fossil, something more than a fos¬
sil, There is in the past a perennial grand, silent rev
elation. It is part of the
procession of a life which has no begin¬

blood and changes the frame,” aud which

The Invention of Clocks.
The date of the invention of clocks is
nuiertain. It is supposed that they were
unknown before the fifth and sixth cen¬
turies and clocks of that period were only
used in monasteries, and were worked by
water. The clock which the King of
lYrsi i sent as a present to Charlemagne iu
the year HOT, is supposed to have marked been the a
water clock. The timepiece
hours In the performance of a cymbal,
anil of horsemen, who at each hour went
out through the windows, and on their
return in the last hour of tiie day, shut
the windows as they inarched back. For
a long period the machine of Richard de
Wallingford, who lived in the fourteenth
century, was considered us the oldest
clock known, and was called by its in
venter “Albion”—all in one. The best
authorities, however, arc of opinion that
tin; invention of our clocks belongs to the
eleventh century, as after that period they
are frequently referred to. It is believed
that tit*' honor of the invention must be
ascribed to the Saracens, to whom we are
indebted for most of the mathematical
sciences.
Lunatic Literature.
A young school teacher ill New lork
State has been confined in a madhouse,
because she lost her reason over the re¬
jection by a publisher of a novel which
she had written in her leisure hours,
and “on which her heart was set.”
In view of its effect upon its own creator,
sad as it is to record, the public should
extend a vote of thanks to the
publisher who rejected that novel
for having guarded it from a similar
peril. A book that coulil result
so fatally for its author would in¬
deed. be deadly to the unsophisticated induced
outsider who might have been
te read it. The only wonder is that more
young women who pelt the public with
the immature inventions of their inexper¬
ienced anil untrained ambitions do not go
crazy. But when one comes to
think of it, to judge by their
work-, they must have been insane
while they wrote them. This is, at -any
rate, the most charitable explanation that
can be found for nine-tenths of the rub
Dish which, under the name of native fic
