Interesting Agricultural Experiments.

Some recent experiments in wheat and -four
go to prove that both contain water, and that
the quantity is more in cold countries than in
warm. 10 Alsace, from is to 20 per cent. In
England !rom14 to IL per cent. In the Unit.
ed States from IL to IA per cent In Africa
and Sicily, from 9 to II per cent. This ac-
counts for the fact that the same weight OF
Southern -four yields more bread than the
Northern. English wheat yields Is pounds
more to the quarter than the Scotch. Alaba-
ma flour, it is said, yields 20 per cent. more
than Cincinnati. And in general, American
| -four, according to the authority of one of the
most extensive London bakers, absorbs 8 or
| 10 per cent more of its own weight of water
in being made into bread than the English
The warmer the country, the more is the wa
ter dried out of the grain before il ripens, and
hence when made into bread il ahsorbs more
water again. and is therefore more valuable
Prof ssor Beck has written report for the
Patent Office in which he shows that the
presence of water units these articles for pre-
servatiOn. The books OF single Inspector iE
New York city showed that in 1S47 he inspec-
ted 2lS,6 79 barrels sour and musty -four In
his opinion the loss on these was $250,000.-
Every year the total loss in the United Suites
from moisture in wheat and louris estimated
al from $4,000 600 TO $5,000,000! To remedy
this great evil, the grain should be we'll ripen-
ed before harvesting, and well dried before
being stored in goQA dry granary. klln
drying is preferable. The mode of ascertain
, ing the amount of water is this. Take a small
sample, say five ounces, and weigh il careful
ly. Put II in dry vessel, which should be
heated by boiling water. After six or seven
hours weigh il carefully, until it loses no more

Feeding Stock in Winter.

In the distribution of the winters supply of
fodder, the coarser aud poorer kinds should be
reserved till the coolest weather. the appe-
tItes of the animals are then sharpest-it will
be eaten with less waste. Those farmers who
are not already provided with cutting ma hines
will do well TO procure them. Their use is at
tended with considerable economy. Coarse
hay, straw, or cornstalks are, by being passed
through cutter, brought into a more conye
nlent form for maStcaton, and subsiau are
eaten which would otherwise be rejected or
only partially consumed. Cutting affords an
opportunity for mixing fodder OF an inferior
quality with that which is, more paatabe;
thus inducing stock TO eat that which would
not be eaten by itself Cutting also affords
the most. convenient means of mixing meal.

TIC wind that tunes viewless Tyre,
The zephyr on its pinions free,
The thunder with its thrilling notes.
The peal upon the mountain air,
The lay that through the foliage floats,
Or sinks in dying cadence there
These all to Thee their voices raise.
A feryent voice of gushing praise.
The day-star, herald of the dawn,
As the dark shadows fit away;
The lint upon the cIeek of morn,
The w-drop cleaning on the spray
From wild blrds in their wanderings,
From streamlet leaping to the sea,
From all earth's fair and loving things.
Doth living praise ascend to Thee:
These, with their silent tongues proclaim
The varied wonders Of Thy name.
Father, thy land formed the flower,
And flung it Oh the verdaut lea,
Thou badst It ope at summers hour;
Its hues of beauty speak of Thee.
Thy works all praise Thee shall not man
Alike attune the grateful hymn Z
Shall he not join the lofty strain,
Echoed from heart Of seraphim
We tune to Thee our humble lays,
Thy mercy, goodness, love, we praise.
