IMPORTANCE OF REAPIxG Corn BEFORE
BEING PERFECTLY R1PE.--Ths practice
originating with NJ SALES, of the Agri-
cultural Society of Beziers, of reaping
the corn before it is perfectly ripe, has
lately been recommended by N. Cadet de
Vaux, as an important and useful inno-
Eation. Grain thus reaped, (say eight
days before it is ripe, J is fuller, larger,
and finer. and is never attacked by the
weevil. This has been proved by reaping
one-half Of piece of corn6eld as recon-
mended, and leaving the other till the
usual time. The result was that the ear
ly-reaped portion gave hectolitre (about
three bushels) of corn more for an acre of
land than the latter reaped. Two bushels
of -four from each were made into bread;
that made from the corn reaped green
gave seven pounds Of bread more than
the other in two bushels. The weevil at
tackled the ripe corn, but not the green.
The proper time for reaping is when the
grain, pressed between the fingers, has a
doughty appearance, like bread just hot
from the oven, when pressed in the same
manner.

The SHEEP GADFLY.-Professor ST.
monds, in his lectures before the Royal
Agricultural Society, gives the following
information relative to the gadhy in sheep
its appearance, de-:
''The egg of the sheep gadfy was de-
posted about the middle or latter part OF
the summer. The sheep were seen herd
ed together with their heads down, and
violently stamping with their feet. The
fly at length deposited its egg in the nos
trils, and the Matched grub penetrated
through their immediate cavities to the
frontal sinuses, where a plate of bone
prevented its getting to the brain. In
the case of horned sheep, it would get to
the extremity of the horny cavity. In
these situations the grub found a natural
secretion from the lining membranes, on
which they subsisted. He remarked that
various affections of the brain in sheep,
such as vertigo, gig. giddy, turnsick,
goggles, DC, commonly ascribeG to the
presence of these gadhy grubs reaching
that organ, had totally different origin,
namely, arising from the formation of
little sacs or bladders, containing hyda-
tics"

Deem Flowing.

OF late we have read much of the ben
efts of deep blowing. Nobody raises a
large crop, except on land thoroughly
and deeply plowed, and almost all the
poor crops are on land plowed shallow.
PROFESSIONALLY there is land which would
be benefited BY deep blowing, and other
that would not. Perhaps some may ad-
vantageously use the Michigan double
Plough No. 33-but one or two expert
ments seem to show that writers on this
subject may be mistaken.
Some Farmers in this vicinity last
spring, became fully awake to the impor-
lance of deep blowing. and after due
preparation, we put our ploughs in, from
seven to ten inches, on green sward, both
on the hill and on the meadow. Our
meadow is made by the deposites Of
White River, and is the disintegrated
Talicose Slate of the Green Mountains
with vegetable remains, and would seem
to bear as deep blowing as any alluvial
Having finished blowing we narrowed
very ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, sowed and
rolled, and the earth looked well, and
was mellow, and we looked that it should
bring forth crops, and it broHght forth
very small crops. Never before did
White River fats bear so light burden,
and we hope they never will again.
But experiments of this kind in one
locality, will not decide the question for
other localities, and for different Soils
Neither can experiments for one or two
years decide the question for every year,
whatever may be their particular result.
We are by no means qualified from a
few experiments to decide that deep plow-
ing is detrimental, although we may be
sure it has injured Us. We have this
latter conviction, but are far from sup
position that no alluvial, no upland silu-
riau, or granite soil may not yield well
if deeply pl0wed, and would yield indif-
ferently if plowed shallow. The true
way would be for any one DESTROYS of
knowing the advantages Of deep blowing
to pillow one half of his field deep, and
one half shallow, and repeat the expert
ment on all his different soils, and for
different crops, and in two or three years
he will be able to judge accurately which
Will be best for him, and by inference
VIII tell where it will succeed. When
this shall be done and the results published
we may have the basis of a correct the
DRY; and much do we wish that many
trials may be made the ensuing year.

The EcoSoMcAL LAEDLADY.-One day,
when butter was scarce and high, Mrs.
Virgins hit upon the economical plan Of
spreading with her own economical hands
the butter upon the allowance of bread
she doled out to her boarders-merely to
save trouble! Dir. Jordan came home to
tea rather late on the first evening of this
new dodge, sat down in the presence of
all the other boarders, and received a
slice from Mrs. Virgins, who had gone
through the ceremony of buttering it be-
fore his eyes. Mr.. Jordan eyed the bread
inquisitively, and began to turn it from
side to side, and scrutinized it closely
through his spectacles. "What is the
matter with your bread and butter?'' de-
manded Mrs. Virgins. "Nothing-no-
thing-nothing," said Mr.. Jordan, still
turning the piece over, and persisting in
his scrutiny. "1'm positive. Mr. Jordan,
that you do see something. Now, /
want" said Mrs. Virgins, her face be-
coming flushed with excitement, 81 want
my boarders to tell me right out when

dan, what is it?" Mr. Jordan laid down
the slice upon his plate, raised his spec
tacles to his forehead, and replied, with
great deliberation: "Mrs. Virgins, there
is nothing the matter with the bread, l
assure you; but, Mrs. Virgins" and
here Jordan glanced mischievously down
the vista of attentive faces, ri have lived

DRILLING VS.. BRoADcAsT SEEDIEG.-A
Saratoga farmer, in the Country Gentle
man, gives thefollowing testimony on this
subject:
'IR the spring of 1855, the first sowing
was piece Of spring wheat Not know
ing anything about the drilling system,
sowed part with the drill and part broad
cast in the same field on the same day.
That put in with a.drill was a quarter
better than that sown broadcast, both in
straw and grain. L tried my oats in the
same manner; they were alO better where
they were drilled. l have sowed all my
grain since with the drill, being satisfied
that it is the only proper method of put
ting grain into the. Eground. sly neigh
Dor, in sowing his buckwheat, had part
sown with the drill and part broadcast,
and when harvested the drilled was about
half better; it was all well filed, while
the broadcast was hardly filed both
put in the same field. / think it better on
other accounts than broadcasting. 1t
saves q quarter of the seed; besides it cul-
tivates and leaves it in good condition
for the crops, better than can be done with
the harrow, and l am satisfied that it is
paying machine. 81 have also thresher
and mower, and l think they are good
machine; but my drill pays me the most
of any. 1t takes less time and seed and
betters the crop, and in dry seasons they
are indispensable. knowing what 1 do
about the drill, l think farmers can afford
to sow broadcast, if they obtain a drill.
l would like TO have others give their ex-
perience ON the same subject.

To take effect direct,
That man should heneeforth silent ait,

But man can poke his nose around.
