How a Chick is Matched.

In conversation with Judge Butler,
of Norwalk, a few days since, he ex-
planned the operation of the Matching
process, which is so beautiful and phi
losophical, that, as we have never seen
it explained in books, we repeat it to
our readers.
The chick within the egg breathes
through the she'll in the silky men,
brane lining the shell, the blood circu-
lstes, and is thus brought in contact
with outer air.
The head of the chick is in a posi-
ton as if it had been brought round
under the wing and over on the back
Ga little one side of course) in such a
position that the least muscular exer-
ton will press the beak against the
shell, and about in the middle; and
when any violent struggle is made, it
will break little hole in the shell.
Now this little movement of the head,
perhaps an eighth of an inch forward,
turns the chick in the shell, so that
when the head is drawn back into its
normal position, it is brought against
another portion of the she'll The
next struggle breaks fresh hole, and
so on, each struggle making a new
opening in the shell.
These struggles, as the chick gains
strength from breathing the fresh air,
become more frequent. Finally in the
course of half day perhaps, as it goe
on turning in its she'll, the little blood
vessels which originally formed con-
nection between the chick and the IL
ming membrane of the shell are drawn
SO tight as to prevent circulation or
are twisted off, and when holes have
been punctured and the shell cracked
about two thirds around, the shell falls
apart and the young chanticleer steps
out into a new world.
Occasionally the lining membrance
of the egg is so tough that the shell
parts from it and leaves it unbroken,
except in the little ho described, and
so if not seen in tim he chick dies.
A pair of scissors will effect a liberia
ton.
It is dangerous to attempt to take
chick from the egg before it has, as
will be evinced by the cracked shell,
turned itself nearly or quite two thirds
around otherwise the blood vessels
sp ken Of will be broken, and the chick
either bleed to death or be long in re-
covering
The whole process may be watched
if the egg be kept warm in the hand,
and observed as its struggles call at
tention to it. This will not interfere
with reading or writing and is instruc-
tive and interesting Homestead

Pixies Peak Wagon.

We saw wagon on the levee yesterday
loading for Pixies Peak, which is the most
comfortable conveyance for crossing the
plains that We have yet seen. The wagon
bed is fifteen feet long and six feet in width.
extending over the wheels so as to be wide
enough to place beds crosswise, and seven
or eight can sleep in it very comfortable.
The cover is of strong rubber cloth, well
put together at the ends, and as impervious
to water as tin roof. Around the sides,
are hooks for hanging small articles, which
they do not wish to put in boxes. They
have a sheet iron stove which can be easily
lifted in and out of the wagon. The estab-
lishment was got up at Davenport, Iowa.
The company consists OF nine young men,
all of whom are from that vicinity. They
have in addition, ordinary wagons in which
to carry their store and other articles which
cannot be closely packed. We learn they
intend starting some time tO-day.--Kans0s

ting of the United States Agricultural So

the members to the fact that the wheat crops
of this country we're fast diminishing, so
far as the number of bushels to the acre
was concerned. He stated that in Ohio, a
State but little over fifty years old, the crop
had fallen of from forty bushels to the acre
to about sixteen, while in the best portions
of New York, where thirty bushels used to
be considered fair crop. only twelve bush
els are now raised. The falling off in other
States had been equally marked; but while
this was the fact with the wheat crops, be

produced TO the acre had largely increased,

The Commeree of the Missouri.

There are at this tune more boats than
has probably ever piled the river st one time,
all of which seem to be. doing a good busi-
ness The commerce of the Missouri is
greater than il has ever been for several years
before and is now gradually increasing-
The settlement of Kansas, the discovery of
gold at Pixies Peak. have contributed vast
" to the resources of trade in the West, and
opened up new channel for commerce which
bids fair to rival the greatest in the western
world. These facts viii account for the
great amount of business done in eonnec-
lion with our river, and the great number OF
boats necessary to its transaction. The
completion of the Hannibal and st. Joseph
Railroad. together with those running
through the interior of Iowa, so far from at
fecting the business of the Missouri. have
been accessories to its increase, by turning
the attention of the world to Kansas and the
country adjacent, causing a heavy emigra-
ton to peur in and settle up these former
wild regions, in the wake OF which natural
ly springs up new and giant trade.
Travel has been for some months and is
now unusually great. and lands bounding
the shores of the Missouri river, which a
few years ago were unexplored, are now
yielding their products to succer and foster
pioneer spirit. The emigraht has already
seized upon their advantages, and their will
derness-ike appearance is fast assuming the
condition of fields and blossoming gardens.
With millions of acres of the most fertile
lands yet untouched, and which must soon
attract the attention and receive the culture
of the pioneer, who can doubt but that the
commel ce of the Missouri must gradually
enlarge as the country becomes populated,
and until it will rival any yet known? Such
is the natural view of the prescient eye, ver-
flied by the history of the past and the in
stances of the present.-Ransas City Net
