Alta late meeting of the Academy o
Science. held in Paris. letter from M. de
Semehoff-a Rassian land d-holder was read !,
descrbin5 the manner in which corn pits
are dug in dry soil. and instead of ma
sonry, the sides are hardened by long
continued exposure to wood FIRE. Be.
fore the corn is introduced, the air in the
pit is rarifed by burning some straw in Il.
after which ths grain is thrown in. packed
close. and the pit tightly inelosed. Corn
has been preserved in such pits for forty
years. Some of our Western farmers,
Who raise large crops of wheat and corn.
should try this method Of preserving grain
during years when there is gres. yield,
in order to lay up a store for seasons Of an
inferior J ield.
