made on the human species; but the
same, no doubt, holds good here.
We plant and sow as it comes" We
take the seed Of the same grain that we
use in the aggregate, and sow it. Is not
this The case almost universally? Corn
is an exception to some extent-but why
do we except corn? Because it is handy
to select. But why select at all? Because
it is understood to be good Analogical.
y, then, it is good to DO the same with
wheat, oats, barley, etc. But this is less
easily done; we therefore neglect it. How
long will it take a farmer to go through
his wheat, and secure the finest and ripest
heads sufficient to SOW an acre, or half an
acre, or quarter-or even pint of
seed? This pin: sowed will be sufficient
to form a test crop. The best heads
taken from this again and sowed, will
yield another test crop, from which should
be taken as before; and so on for mum.
Der of years, say half dozen, more still
better. But three or four years will

should be continued from selected wheat

improved and crops enlarged. There

Oars GROUND AND UNGRouND 1t is
generally admitted tlat there is no better
or more natural grain for the horse than
oats, and they are extensively fed through.
out the whole country, and usually in an
nnground state. Tie reason of this is
probably owing to the fact that but li'lle
trouble is required to feed them So Yet
every one knows that oats given whole
particularly to an aged animal, pass
through in large quantities undigestcd,
giving no nutrimcnt to The body. Then
that portion of the grain unna~ticatcd
has done no good, and some loss attend
ing it. We u US, therefore concInde that
at least onc,ihir less grain given in a
ground state would do as much or more
good.
The experiments of some of our best
chemical Psychologists go to show that
mixing of saliva with the food is of the
utmost importance in enecting easy diges-
tion. When grain goes into the stomach
in whole state, it is not affected by the
secretions then made at the expense of
the animals condition. Then, if oats,
by passing through the digestive tubes
injurc the animal, it is not
natural to suppose thst he could perform
more labor with less grain when he gets
all of the nutriment from the quantity

Nothing pays better on farm than

With them everything ist turned to account;

their scrutinizing eyes. Their industrious
claws are ever at work, uncovering
ready for appropriation, every hidden but
consumable substance. Fowls must have
free access to chalk OF lime to form the
shells of their eggs, and grit or gravel to
grind the food in their gizzards. They
luxuriate on grass or clover, which are a
necessity for them; in winter they like
mangold or swedes. They must have
access to plenty of pure water. The
quality of the eggs depends upon the
quality of the food. They, like ourselves,
like shade in summer, and warm shelter.
