pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
!lfe' health, and happiness OF woman in all classes OF
society, and which, consequently, affect more or less
directly, the welfare of the entire human family. The
mania that exists for precocious education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted

school. and especially in the unhealthy excitement

least an early marriage caps the Climax of misery
and the unfortunate one hitherto so utterly regard

the experience of thousands of our young women.

called the tissue, which is, in common with the fe-
male breast and lips, evidently under the contrs of

what becomes Of these essential Gle
mcnts of wheat growth. They are
very largely found in the covering of
the berry. This, we all know, in the
majority Of cases, is separated from the
winter portions of the flour at mills
situated at distance from where the
grain is proauccd. The bran and shorts
are ted to cattle in large towns, ard
though some will find its way into
village gardens, by far the larger por-
tlons are buried il pits, used III the
place OF soil for filing ny places that
are required TO be raised or taken out
INTO bodies of water by means OF boats
or through sewers.
OF the bran and shorts Of wheat ana
the entire portions OF other grams
that are fed to stock on the farm,
some, of course is returned to the land
and shows its good effects IN the crops
that are produced from it, But the
animals that are raised from them, rs
well as the dairy product derived
from the milk so produced, are sent to
distant markets. Even the bones OF
the animals that die from disease or
accident, or are slaughtered for beet,
are now eagerly collected and find
their way, fox the most part to foreign
shores. To-day many an English wheat
field and French vineyard is rejoicieg
in fertility derived from the bones Of
animals raised in the valley OF the
Mississippi.
Every year thousands of acres of
land are put IN flax, crop that dimin-
ishes the productiveness OF the soil tor
several successive seasons. The oil
is expressed from the seed, to be used
in painting houses. but nearly all tie
oil cake is sent across the sea. The
proprietor OF the largest linseed oil
works in the west informed us recent
" that never over two per cent. OF
their oil cake found market in this
country. The remainder goes to Eng
land. The Englshtarmer buys this pro-
duct Of the flax mill, not altogether or
principally because it is the cheapest
food for dairy and beef stock, but
because Of the manure that is derived
from it.
