Statistics.

of establishing an exchange of experience
among farmers, says: Statistics are what

least, would, on the coming spring, begin
a report of his operations on one field or
all, of one kind of his crops or more, and
give systematic report in full to this or
some other good agricultural paper, at
the close of his work, giving the time Of
blowing, planting or sowing, hoeing and
harvesting, kind of weather and soil, the
cost and the price obtained, or its value,

knowledge as though he wrote a volume

may-bes.
As yet, we have no railroads or tele-
graphs whereby we are the immediate
recipients of the experience of the States,
or can we be acquainted with the condi-
ton of the markets, except through the
medium of a journal or paper, and for
some time we must depend upon this
mode of acquiring these facts. Let them
come before the sons of the soil, that they
may be prOfted thereby. Farmers, one

The Composition Of the Milk at Va
FIOuS Times OF the Day.

Professor Boedeker has analysed the
milk of healthy COW at various times of
the day, with the view of determining the
changes in the relative amount of Its con-
stituents. He found the solids Of the
evening milk (13 per cent) exceeding
those of the morning milk 10 per cent },
while the water contained in the fluid was
diminished from SO per cent to SO per
cent. The fatty matters gradually in
crease as the day progresses. In the
morning they amount to 2.l7 per cent, at
noon 2.63 per cent, and in the evening
5.52 per cent. This fact is important in
practical point of view; for while sixteen
ounces of mornings milk will yield nearly
half an ounce of butter, about double this
quantity may be obtained from the eve-
ming s milk. The casein is also increased
in the evening" milk from 2.24 to 2.70
per cent; but the albumen is diminished
from 0,44 per cent to 0,3l per cent. Su.
gar is least abundant at midnight GALS
per cent and most plenty at noon Az
per cent). The percentage of the salts

Praying for Each other.

We see by the Eastern papers that the
Pastefs Of the different determinations in
the East have become, so Jealous in the
cause of religion that they not only pray
for the conversion Of mankind in general
but are offering up supplicatiohs to Deity
for the conversion of ministers of other
denominations in particular. For instance
the Rev. Mr.. Chambers prays thus for
the Rev. Theodore Parker:
80 Lord If this man { Parker) is a
subject of, grace, convert him and bring
him into the kingdom Of thy dear Son |;
but if he is. beyond the reach of the saw
ing influence of the Gospel, remOre him
out of the way, and let his influence die
with him 20
"Oh Lord! send confusion and diS-
traction into his { (Parkef's) studyltki af-
terHoon and precent his finishing his pre-
paration for his labors to-InorrowSor he
Shall attempt to desecrate thy holy day
by attempting to speak to the people;
meet him there, 0 Lord, and confound
him, 50 that he shall not be able to
speak, 80 -y,irCEg+.4-,s
"L0fdt we know that we cannot argue
him (Parker) down, and the more we
say against him, the more the people
flock after him, the more they love and
revere him. D Lord what shall be done
for Boston, if thou dost not take some OF
these matters in hand ?''
To the above the Rev. Theodore res.
ponds in the following manner, and it i:
sincerely to be hoped that both these gen.
tlemen's supplieations may be answered
by the Most High, in every particular
"Oh! thou Incomprehensible Power

In season and Out Of Season.

/ take it for granted thai all farmers
have their programme for the coming
season well considered, and will be ready
for action at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. 1t is too common failing, with
even very good farmers, indeed, to neg
lect this most important part. With sys-
tematic arrangements which anticipate
the needs and wants in proper season, the
labor of four men upon the farm is equal
to six without system. We too often COM
mence in the spring with the intention Of
making certain improvements If We have
time and nothing happens to prevent, and
when that is the planning, most inyariab-
ly we are behind time, and something

and that part is often essential to success
as whole. The prudent and calculating
farmer says, such and such thing must be

Eternal" they shall be done. Men who
make up their minds in this way, are
generally favored by the Great Eternal,
and their purposes are accomplished, the

Twenty-six pounds and thirteen ounces
of good bread have been made from
fourteen pounds Of -four and one and a

yeast and salt; allow the dough to rise

To Cure Bots.

We find the following in the N. Y.
Spirit of the Times "When your horse
has the b9ts, first give him some sage tea.
Boil the sage in a quart of milk, and
sweeten with molasses. Half an hour
after drench your horse with two yials of
laudanum; in three-quarters of an hour
after, drench with ,hree-fourths of
pound of salts, and your horse will be
well in three hours, or as soon as the
salts operate. The tea viii make the
bots let loose, the laudanum will put them
to sleep, and the salts viii cause them to
pass from your horse. Warrant the cure.
