ure. AS have before stated, were /

and that food only, known as the spe-

It is now well known throughout the

HARVESTING GRAIN.

! Wheat, Oats. Rye and Barley should
always be cut before the bury or kernel
becomes hard, and when the kernel is
out OF the milk and can be compressed
between the thumb and finger. This
method will secure to the farmer heavier
grain, and sweeter, whiter, and a better
quality Of -four, and larger quantity
than by allowing the wheat to become
ripe and for seed, we find it equally as
good. =
Corn should always be cut as soon
after it is glazed and before the fros,
touches the stalk.
Beans and Peas are much better if
pulled and stacked, as soon as they get
their growth and before the greater por-
tion Of the pods are dry.
In reference to Corn, Allen, in mis-
farm book, says :-'s The stalks of corn
ought never to be cut above ear, but
always near the ground, and for this
obvious reason:--the sap which nourish-
es the gain is drawn from the earth and
passing through the stem enters the
leaf, where change is effected anal
gous to what takes place in the blood
when brought to the surface Of the
lungs, in the annual system but with
this peculiar difference, however, that
while the blood gives out carbon and abb
serbs oxygen, plants, under the inf1u-
ence of light and heat, give out oxygen
and absorb carbon. This change pre-
pares the sap condensation and CONVEX
sion into the grain. But the leaves
which thus digest the food for the grain
are above it, and it is while passing
downward that the change of the sap in
to grain principally takes place. If the
stalks be cut above the ear nourishment
is at an end. 1t may then become firm
and dry, but it will not increase in
quantity. While il cut near the root,
i not only appropriates the sap already
N the plant, but il also absorbs addition
II matter from the atmosphere, which
to its weight and perfection
After it is cut i should be kept stand-
ng in the field un,il perfectly dry and
hen husked.
