CuLTIvATISG CORN BY MACHINERY.
We saw recently, says the New
York Evening Post, a cornfeld of
one hundred and sixty acres on
the Grand Prairie. in the blowing,
planting and cultivating of which
no man walked step. A rotary
spader, drawn by four horses; and
driven by q man seated on a box,
y.oyed the field to the uniform
depth of eight inches, and gave
such thorough filth that it was
not necessary to use the harrow at
all. A corn planter, drawn by two
horses, and driven by man on the
box. planted the seed. A cultiva.
tor, drawn by two mules, one walk
ing IN each side of the knee high
corn, driven by a man upon the
box, completed the culture of a row
st single operation, and in the
tool .hoasc lay another machine, al
60 to be drawn by horses, which
viii cut down the corn when it is
ripe and lay it in regular rows to
be finally gathered by hand. But
it is expected that by next year this
machine will be so improved as to
gather up the corn also.

PROPORTION OF Wool TO CARCASS
During the Highland Show an ad-
dress on the Chemistry of Wool and
It's management was delivered by
Professor Anderson, in the course
o! which he made tho following re.
marks:
Taking MI tho breeds together,
the average weight Of fleece may
be set down at six pounds, while
that of the sheep in the uniattcned
osnditiJn will not exceed 90 or 100
wounds. 1t thus appears that a
sheep produces every year guam
,tv of wool equal to about a six.
tccnth of its own weight. Even
this, however, does not give n per.
isut idea of the matter, which can
ulIy be obtained By making the
comparison between the dry wool
end the dry matter Of the sheep
Wool in its natural state contains
about l6 per cent. Of water, and il
an allowance be made for dirt ad'
liering to it, the weight of the wool
in each fleece is about five pounds
But the entire body of the sheep
contains about two-thirds Of its
weight of wafer, SO that if dried up,
exclusive of wool, it would weigh
only thirty pounds and hence it
follows that sheep produces annu-
ally, in the shape of dry wool, a
quantity of matter equal to about
one-sixth of the solid substances
contained in its body. These facts
are sufficient to show the Importance
Of nutritivc food to support the
drain in the system cccasioncd by
the growth of this large quantity of
animal matter Country Gentleman.
