From the Cultivator.
Farmers Clubs.

There is nothing like discussion to bring out
the various points of a subject, and present each
in its tue Ii ght hence we do not know of
better means of eiiciting facts in relation to the
business of farming. and thus advancing the in
terests of those engaged in it. than the forma-
ton of neighborhood associations or Farmers
Clubs" These associations have become very
common in England, and have been formed to
some extent in this country, and wherever
known, their great usefulness is admitted. Un-
der proper regulations, they constitute at once
the means Of acquiring useful knowledge, and
of social endowment.
The form or plan Of association, may be very
simple.
The farmers of a certain township or district
agree to meet once week, or once in two
weeks, during the winter season, at each others
houses, in rotation for the discussion of ques-
tons relating to rural management. Perhaps
the following might answer
Article |. The subscribers agree to form an
Association under the name of-Farmers
Club, the object of which is to improve our
selves in knowledge relating to Agriculture
Horticulture, and linsbandry generally.
Art. II. The officers of the Association shall
be President whose duty it shall be to preside
at the meetings, and Secretary who shall
keep such records and minutes as the Assoca.
ton shall direct.
Art. ILL., The officers shall be elected by
ballot and shall hold there places till others are
chosen in their stead
Art. w. During the months of-,the Asso.
citation shall meet at such times as may be agreed
on by maj orty of the members, for the discus.
sion of questions. The meetings shall be held
in rotation, at the houses of the respective mem.
hers commencing and proceeding in alphabet.
ical order.
Art. V. Questions shall be offered in wri.
ting, and such shall he chosen for discussion
as the Association may agree on by VOTE at any
regular meeting.
Art. vi. This constitution is subject tc
amendment or alteration as a majority of all til,
members shall direct
The following might form some Of the ques
tons for discussion. III all caSeS ii StouH b.
understood that The questions hare particular ref
ersnce 10 the district phere the association is loca
ted.
What course of farming is most profitable fol
the different soils of the district!
What is the best mode of cultivating lndiaI
corn! The same question is applicable to 9th
er crops grown in the district.
What is the best mode of managing and ap
plying barn-yard or animal manures VIVA
are the best means of increasing the supply o
manures The best modes of using peat OF
"muck? ?" Whether by mixing with ANNA
manures, urine, ashes, lime, or any other sub
stances ? and the effects on various crops al
compared with common animal manures
These are but few the questions that NIGH
be discussed with advantage Others will o
course be suggested. They may be offered a
any time, and the Secretary should keep list
of them, which may be read before the associa
ton whenever called for
II is the practice in England, and we think
il might be well adopted here to pass a resolu.

Yeast.

The Importance of yeast in domestic economy
is well known. IL consists of z variety of COM
ponents and among others of acetc and malic
acids alcohol, potash, lime, &c, but its essen
tlal and peculiar quality depends entirely on the
presence OF a portion of gluten or vegetable al
bumen, in state osinoip icnt decomposition.
III pure solution OF sugar in water he exclu-
ded IRON the air, 1t remains perfectly unchanged
for any length OF time. But if an organic sub,
stance in state of slow decomposition. as for
instance yeast, be introduced the particles of su.
gar also become affected, and participate in the
change, and carbonic acid and alcohol are the
result
After the yeast has converted certain portion
of the sugar compared with its own bulk. into
alcohol, the yeast itself entirely disappears and
an additional quantity must be added to renew
the fermentation. But when added to a mixture
OF flour with water, which contains gluten as
well as sugar, new portion of yeast Is produced
by the decomposition of the gluten of the flour
Thus yeast reproduces itself, by inducing the
vinous fermentation in substances containing
gluten and sugar. Thus, in a brewery, the
quantity of yeast continually increases
The presence of water is necessary for sus.
tanning the properties of yeast hence in a dried
state il may be kept sometimes for months. It,
action is also arrested by a temperature equal to
that of boiling water, or greater hence the fer.
mentaton Of dough is at once arrested By ba-
king. Hence, also, in drying solid yeast for
preservation, too great heat will at once DIES.
troy it,
1t making bread, yeast operates in rendering
it more light and porous, by the carbonc acic
gas which is liberated, forming innumerable ca
vities Of air in all parts Of tho loaf A simila
