PreserEing AmIueerTican Grain.

The results of some experiments
made in France in the preservation of
grain have but very recently been
published. A year ago, exactly 2175
bushels of American wheat we're, by
way of trial, enclosed in Ttwo silOs Of
sheet iron-large cylinder sunk into
the ground-and were carefully closed,
sealed and covered. 10 su M
The seals were removed in the first
week of last month in presence of two
delegates from the War Office, and Of
several members of the Commission fol-
Military Stores. The grain was then
subjected to strict examination, and
unanimously declared to be exactly
the same as it was when sealed up
The cost of preserving corn by means
of these silos does not exceed Is cents
per q bushels, while all danger of loss
by fire or vermin is entirely obYiated

TranSplanting Trees in the Au-

is a question asked us every day. Our
answer is, Yes, under these circum-

LIST. When the ground is of such ma

will not lodge around the roots of trees
during winter. Toplant trees in holes
sunk in stiff, tenacious soils, is a GER
tain method of killing them.
2. The trees should be perfectly
hardy. All delicate or half-hardy
trees should invariably be planted in
the spring, Ifit be necessary to take
them up in the fall, they had better be
laid in by the roots in a dry soil, shell
\ tered fromthe cold cutting winds, and,
if necessary, protected with plenty Of
boughs of evergreen, or something. Of
