METHOD OF HARVESTING GRAIN IN AUSTRALIA
In the fine climate Of Austrilia there is no ne
cessity for building barns, or stabling cattle in
winter. The harvesting, threShing, and clean-
ing operations are all done ut the same time
The machine cuts off the wheat heads a bout six
inches below the ear, and they fall into large
canvas hammack, which, as soon as filled is
emptied on platform Of boards at the end of
the field When the field is cut, a threshing
machine is set to work. aud the wheat is ready
for market. The straw is allowed 20 stand till
near seed time, when it is set fire to and burnt
off, leaving the land perfectly clean-cvery nox-
ious seed is destroyed The land Is then rc-sown
with wheat and narrowed in; and this system
continues year after year.
The wheat grown in Australia is plump and
thin-skined, averaging 65 lbs pr bushel. and
gives larger proportion of flour than American
wheat. An average crop there is 80 bushels per
acre ; but 50 TO 60 bushels per acre is common
on volcanic soils Gcnesee Fdrmcr.

Among the many persons present at our cele-
bration of the Fourth was Gen. James 3. Steed-
man. He heard the Grafton and was evidently
pleased with it, Especially did he exhibit salts
faction with the concluding remarks of the ora
tor in which re quoted the memorable sentiment
with which Dlniel Webster concluded his celc-
bratcd discussion with Haynes, ofSouth Car,li-
na--" Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and inseperabe.' After the regular exercises,
Steedman was called out mud made few remarks,
saying that he could not make speech on such
an occasion without sufficient previous war
ming, but if they wanted democratic speech he
could talk to them an hour and half. He
warmly compimented the orator of the day and
said lie was particularly pleased with his con-
Guiding remarks, which embraced that memoir
able quotation from General Jackson, which
was dear to every true American heart. The
General should post himself a little better.

WHAT HAS GOT INTO THE WoMEN?--Within
the last three weeks, three men have advertised
undutiful and ungovernable wives in this paper.
Either the men don't do their duty. or the wo-
men are hard cases. Seriously, men and women
rush into mutrimony without considering their
capacities for enjoying without kno wing each
other except as of the opposite sex--without
knowing the responsibilities of the position as
sumed or thinking of its necessary consequences
and the result is frequent cases of unhappiness,
wrctchedness and indescribablo remorsc, and
numerous separations which are dsgracerul to all
parties concerned. It results, mainly. from a
want of proper instruction Young men and wo.
men think it would be nice to get married, and
that is about the extent Of their thinking on the
subject The first opportunity for testing the
experiment is embraced and when too late they
learn that getting married is a serious matter
that it is of greater Importance than all other
things pertaining to this life.
