Preparing Grain for Mill.

There is one cause of loss among
grain growers which can and certainly
ought to be remedied This is the very
poor manner of cleaning wheat. Par
ticular pains have been taken to ascer-
tain the actual amount of loss, and the
result is as follows:
OF all the wheat brought to the mill /,
Hlere is an absolute loss to the grower of
five per cent. This occurs from want
of knowledge by those who thresh and
clean the wheat, or the careless manner
in which it is done. Loose heads, straw,
broken wheat, cheat, barley, oats, must
ard, etc, are mixed up with the wheat,
SO as to deleriorate its value in price, as
we'll az waste in weight 1t is custom
airy at the mill. in exchanging flour for
wheat, to deduct wastage of four or
five per cent this is certain loss at once.
But there is heavier loss, and we desire
to show this to our cultivators. By this
careless manner of cleaning, every five
bags in one hundred is waste, and for
this the grower has to furnish bags; he
pays for harvesting these five bags, for
hauling, freight and storage, and when
it comes to milling-these five bags are
waste, dead loss to the owner-Prai-

The HIsToRY OF BUTrER-From the
various sta tements in history, it may be
safely concluded that the discovery of
butter is attributable neither to the Greeks
nor Romans, but that the former were
made acquainted with it by the Scythians
Thracians and Phrygians, and the latter
by the people of Germany. 1t appears
says Beckman, that when they had learn
ed the art eff making it, they employed it
only as an ointment in their baths, and
particularly as n medicine. 1t is never
mentioned by Galcn and others as food,
though they have spoken of it as applica-
BILE to other purposes. No notice is taken
of ii by. Apicius, nor is there anything
said in that respect by the authors who
treat on agriculture, though they have
gwen accurate intortion regarding milk,
cheese and oil. This may be easily ac-
counted for by the fact that the ancicnts
were entirely accustomed to the use oil
good oil. In like manner, butter is very
little employed at the preosnt day in Italy,
Spain, Portugal, and the southern parts
OF France, but is sold in the apothecaries
shops for medical purposes. During the
ages of paganism, butter appears to have
been very scarce ; mention is made by
historians of a present of butter SO large
that a man could not carry it, and which
was considered a very respectable gift

CIsTERNs THAT WILL KEEP OUT SUR
FACE WATER.-A correspondence. A.
White, of Burlington, Iowa,-informs
US that the following method of
building cisterns in moist ground will
effectually prevent water soaking through
them from the outside and inside also
1.-The bottom Of the cislern is spread
with hydraulic cement in the usual man
aer. then laid over with brick, upon
which the wall is commenced about an
inch or an inch and half from the
earth all around When the wall is about
four courses high, the interstices between
the wall and the earth are filled with
grout or the ordinary cement, made very
thin and poured in; then build up the
wall, and fill in with grout as before
When the cistern is plastercd inside, the
wall is completely encaseI with a coat
of cement, that prevents the passage OF
water both ways.-S;ientf, american.

Grinding Feed.


Experimental farmers have long urged
the importance, and even necessity, of
chopping or grinding hay, as well as other
feed, for cattle and horses. The lazy
drones have had hearty laugh over the
idea, and called it Book Farming
Now the theory of chopping and grind
ing food is based OH principle which lies
a; the foundation of animal physiology
Rest IS essential to the accumulation of
muscle. as well as fat. If we wish to in
crease an animal in flesh or fat we do not
work him.
Now a COW wants one thirteenth of her
own weight in hay day, to keep her in
good order. And we may thus calculate
the amount of labor required to masticate
the food, and fit il for the stomach The
labor of chopping OF grinding 25 pounds
of hay day, is no small item. This ex-
cessive labor is performed by one set of
muscles-the jaws--but, by sympathy,
affects all the other muscles causes tn e
blood to circulate quicker, the breath fas
ter, the consumption of food greater and
still the growth of the animal is retarded
If machine was invented to grind
hay, the ground article would approx
mate, in value, to unground oats, in pro-
ducing fat and muscle. Chopping hay
and stalks is valuable in proportion as it
approxlmates to grinding, and re-
lieves the animal of the labor of grinding
it. An animal fed on ground or minced
food. may perform an amount of labor
equal to grinding it fit for digestion, and
fat as fast rs any other which does not
labor, but grinds its own food
Prematurely gray whiskers and beard
while the hoir is still black, show the
relative amount of labor performed by
the jaws and the head Ohio Farmer
