Eg-Don't hold over your crops from
year to year. Independent Of the loss
by waste and vermin, the chances Of the
market are as likely to be against as in
fayer Of you. To illustrate the peculiari-
ty OF some farmers in this respect, we
may mention a circumstance that hap.
pens often in the extensive dealings Of a
western grain merchant. He states that
he bought recently, at 65 cents per bush
81. large parcel Of wheat that was gath
cred during the past three years, which
included the identical lot harvested in
l855and 1855, and for which he offered
last season $i,35 per bushel.

A Steam Excavator.

The Cleveland Leader describes steam
excavator now being used in completing
the embankment on the Cleveland and
Erie Railroad at Girard. The editor
says:
We were much surprised at the great
rapidity with which the dirt is excavated
and transferred to the embankment, a
distance Of about one.eighth Of mile
One locomotive and an indefinite number
Of cars are required to each excavator.--
Temporary tracks are laid from the en-
bankment to the excavators, with side
track and switch near the latter, SO that
the empty cars can be run up to the ma
chine for the load, when they are switch
ed out TO the main track and instantly an.
other car is run up to the excavator, load
ed and sent wbizzing down the track to the
locomotive, and SO on indefinitely. The
switching is done by horses, and the time
required TO run up the car, load it, and
send it down the main track does not ex.
coed twenty seconds, and we saw them
load four cars per minute for several min
utes. The excavators are placed on tenn,
porary tracks or blocks and are moved
by their own power. The shovel of the
excavator is so large that one shovel full
fills car. The depth to which the ma.
chimes cut is about twelve feet, and the
surface already gone over about ter
acres. W &
