OF these lots, 100 pounds Of grain Of
each yielded as follows

Thus it appears that No. ;, which was
cut two weeks before it was fully ripe,
was superior to the other lots; giving more
per bushel than No >, (cut when fully
rpe,) by Gt pounds Of flour, and gain
Of about fifteen per cent on the flour Of
equal measure of grain; l0O pounds Of
wheat Of No 3, makes 50 pounds of -four,
while 100 pounds Of No. >, yields p

that No ground the worst-worse than
No. / There we're 10 No. . a greater
quantity Of finty particles which would
not pass the bolt, than in any of the other
lots. The bran from No } was also much
thicker and heavier than that Of No 5.
Mr.. llannam concludes, therefore, that
in cutting wheat two weeks before it is
fully ripe, there is a gain Of fifteen per
cent of -four upon equal measures, gain
of fourteen per cent. in the weight Of
straw, aud a gain Of IS Cd sterling in the
value of every quarter 600 lhs) Of wheat.
Many trials have been made in this coun-
try in cutting whca, at various stages, and
the results agree, generally, with those
above given.
But when grain is cut before it is ripe,
it Is necessary that it should undergo
process of curing, before it can be safely
stored in the barn or stack. Hence it is
usual to place the sheayes III shock for
several days, according to the state Of
weather, or the degree of moisture in the
straw. But it sometimes happens that
loss is occasioncd, more or less, By the
sprouting of the grain while it stands in
shock-csPecially in warm, showery, or
damp weather. To guard, as well as pos
sible, against loss from this cause, the
shocks should he Put NJ in the best man
