machines have been generally introduced,
this difficulty has passed away, and the
question placed on other grounds. L IS
now. how does early cutting affect the
weight and quantity of grain and the quail
ity Of -four, as compared with that harvest
ed at a later period! Many experiments
have been made to test and settle this mat
ter. but the best and most satisfactory we
have seen, are those detailed in The last
No. of the @. ]. of Agriculture, made by
Mr.. HANNAH, of Yorkshire. an intelIi-
gent and able farmer. Mr.. Hannah Sc
lected for his experiment field of the old
square hsGded red aoheGt, and on the 4th
of August, 1840,4 cut sheaf Both
straw and ears were green and full of sap.
The grain was perfectly formed. but the
kchaf adhered firmly TO it, and it was so
soft and full Of milk, that the slightest
pressure reduced the whole TO a pulp.
iFhis sheaf stood in the field fortnight,
wheE it was housed, and the same day,
August 18th, another cut. Ia this the
wheat was not ripe, bat what is called
rdp." The straw for a foot from the
aground was yellow, and above that, though
to appearance green, still was turning
tyellow. The grain, though still soft and
moshed easily. was not near so full Of
fluid or milk as before. At the end OF a
fortnight this sheaf was housed, and Sep.
ltember |, or the same day, another was
lcut. This last sheaf was ripe, the straw
uniformly yellow, but not so ripe as to
| have the heads break, or grain fall out
and at the end of a fortnight this was also
| housed. Each sheaf was carefully pre-.
served, and finally thrashed and the chat
separated, by Iself The gross weigh
was ascertained by an accurate balance
Jas was that of fixed measure, and ar
iequal number Of the grains. The result
was as follows, the experiment of weigh,
ling being several times repeated to proven
error:

OR THE LITTLE FACTORY GIRL.
IT was on a winters morning,

Three hours before the dawning,
The father reused his child;

Her wasted form seemed nothing,
The load was at his heart;
The sufferer he kept soothing,
Till at the,mill they part.
The overlo0ker met her,
As to her frame she crept,

And cursed her as she wept.
Alas! what hours Of horror,

The threads they oftener broke,
The rapid wheels ran quicker,
And heavier fell the stroke.

sShipmates, come, our tolls are Ger
Haste to join the gathering throng:
Think Of stormy seas no more,
But unite IN glorious song:
Sing the praise of Him who died,
Thatou souls might ever be
Though his mercy sanctifed,
Throughout all eternity.
Sons of Ocean, join the strain
See! our bethel flag is waving:
He that died and rose again,
Thought our dying souls worth saving.
Touch the glorious Saviour's Tyre,
Ye who plough the stormy waters.
Let the strains your souls inspire,
Mingle with your wives and daughters
Cast your anchor in the veil,
Safe from storms your bark shall ride
Haste to furl the flowing sail
~ In this haven safe abide.
Shipmates, on this happy shore
Friends are waiting to receive u.s.
Christ hath opened wide the door
jesus never can deceive Us!
Soon our voyage of life shall end,
All our sorrows soon be DER:
Then shall He our,chosen friend,
Welcome us to Canaan's shore.
With cherubim and seraphim,
And saints and angels, we shall raise
In one melodious strain to Him,
Our songs Of everlasting praise!

| Our readers will Judge of these expert
mems for themselves; but we must add.
there are other considerations of great
weight in favor of cutting wheat before it
lis s. dead ripe.n These are, more time
for securing the crop; less waste in har-
vesting from the Smelling Of the grain
and better quality of straw, thing of no
small consequence where il is extensively
| used for feeding stock, as in our wheat
growing districts. 1t is also the opinion
| of millers,we believe universally, that ear
| ly cut grain makes far better -four than
THAT which becomes fully ripe before cut
Ting. 1t is probable the same facts would
hold good of barley. rye, oats, &C.. and it
would seem desirable that farmers should
ascertain these points, as small profits, OF
small losses, in the aggregate, are the
Things that make, or ruin, the cultivator
of the soil.
| There is a great waste by many in har-
ves:ing grain from using bad implements,
not paying attention to putting il up prop
erly in the field when cut, and perform.
ling all parts of the work in a slovenly and
unfarmerlike manner. There is a vast
| deal of wheat and other grain, put into the
barn or slack after rains, or before the
straw or green matters the sheaves may
lcontain are cured, in such state that the
centre parts Of the sheaf heat, mold, and
become nearly rotten. The result is bad
| wheat, musty and poor -four, all which
might be avoided by care in the several
processes through which the crop pass.
