Within 4 generation ploughs have been 80
improved that one horse can now turn as
much aS two could.
In building barns, it is well to remember
that took need shelter more than the crops,
and that iuy-iorks and thrcshiDg-machipes
have rendered the old-tashi0ncd barn floor
unnecessary.
Add all that is lost by selling too soon,
then add all that is lost by holding, compare
the sums, and the argument will be for a
prompt marketing OF all farm products.
1T has been ascertained by carefully-re-
peatcd experiments that the first drawn
milk contains ), the second s, and the
fifth Il per cent. Of cream. Thus, Il cow
t~hrec-quarters MIXED is not half MIXED u
butter is the object.
Chestnut makes more coal to theI cord
than any common wood. oak q little less,
walnut II little less, and - on down through
elm, willow, ash, and birch, to pine, which
makes only tWO-thirds rs much to the cord
az chestnut.
An English farmer thus gives his con-
densed conclusions about guano : Powder
il, mix with plaster, apply broadcast IL
used in the bill or drill, mix largely with
loan ; Is pounds Of it are equal to q load Of
