ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE CROPS OF 1869

ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE CROPS OF 1869,
The following figures are made up from
the reports of the Government Statistical
and Agricultural Bureaus: The wheat crop
OF 1869 is estimated at 271, 900, 00G bushels,
an excess of 100, C00 600 over the crop oil
1859. The corn crop is estimated at l, $50.
900, 900 bushels, which is about 300 900, 900
more than the crop Of last year In spite
of all rumors to the contrary the corn pro-
ducing belt is up to the average of former
years, and in the Southern States the yield
is large. The yield of other crops is esti-
mated as follows: Rye, $4,000, 900 bushels;
oats, 800, 600, 900 bushels; potatoes, IT'S,
900, 600 bushels. Add to these hay, wool,
cotton, rice, tobacco, &C., and reduce all to
a fair average valuation, and We have the
following result:

Lighting Street Lamps by Electricity.

Last evening after the adjournment of
Councils, the members witnessed an exhi.
bition of the Bostonion invention of light
ing and extinguishing lamps by electricity.
The trial was made on the lamps in indie
pendence Square, and was found to prove,
in every respect, satisfactory, but few
seconds being required to extingu1sh or
light the several lamps in the square.
The apparatus consists of q small box
about two and half inches square, which
is attached to each burner The boxes
are connected by wires with q central office,
something after the fashion of our fire.
alarm boxes. A small battery and one
operator can control the entire city. The
wires which are required for the purpose
are encase1 in a small tube and can be laid
under ground. A city can be divided up
into circuits Of one hundred lamps each.
It will require about four minutes to light
one circuit. The circuits are ali started at
the same time by means of clock-work,
worked by telegraph and separate batteries.
The time now required to light and extin-
guish the lamps by hand is about two hours
The boxes under the burners are so ar
ranged that the lamps of each circuit light
successlvely, and not simultaneously, Sc
that much less electric force can be used.
One cell with Rumpkoff coil is sufficient
to light the circuit The gas is not turned
Oh at one general head, and then lighted,
but each burner, by an automatic arrange
ment, turns the gas both off and on, as
may be wante There is thus no waste ot
gas. The gas does not have to be lit be
fore it is wanted. It can be turned on AID
of in a short time, and several times in one
night, if the weather should makeit neces-
sary. The cost of employing the boxes is
about five dollars to each lamp, not in
Guiding the laying of wires. The cost ot
introduction, it is said, is more than made
up in the course Of one year by the saving
of gas and the wages of lighters. The cost
of running, when once introduced, IS in
considerable. The members Of Council
and others, VINO witnessed the experiment,
expressed themselves as being greatly
pleased with it.-PhiEddelphid Elo1tireT

WATERING HoRsEs.-Horses should be
xatered from brook, pond or river, and
not from wells or springs, as the we'll water
is hard and colder, while the running
stream is soft and rather warm. The pref
ereuce Of horses is for the soft, even
though it be muddy water, to that which
is hard. Horses should be allowed in
summer time at least four waterings day,
a1d half bucketfull at time, and in win.
ter a pailfull may be allowed morning and
evening, which is sufficient to assauge
their thirst without causing them to bloat
or puff up. Care, however, should be ia

mediately after drinking a full bucket of
water, especially if required to go fast, be-
cause digestion and severe exertion can
never 60 on together, and moreover purg-
ing is apt to eusue. In some cases, broken
wind or hcaves is thus produced. Avoid
giving warm or tepid water to horses that
are often driven from home, because cold
or we'll water will then perhaps be giveT
them, which will be liable to produce a
congestive chill, followed by lung fever,
aud in some cases collie. When horses are
thus carefully watered, if one or more Of
them should refuse their accustomed food,
something is wrong, and they should not
be taken out Of the stable to work or driven
further that day; but an examination
should be made as to the cause with
view to its removable Clxre's Ner

How TO Cook CoDFIsH.-The cod.
fish should first be soaked in cold water
changing the water every few hours until
it is fresh enough. It should not be en-.
tirely fresheued but left just salt enough
to be palatable. 1t is then put into a
kettle, covered with water. and brought
up to the boiling point, but not boiled.
Let it simmer gently for fifteen to twenty
minutes. and it is ready to serve. As &C.
compartments to the fish, are, Of course,
potatoes, and many add plain boiled
beets and carrots, and hard boiled eggs.
We have sometimes seen small bits Of salt
pork fried crisp and served with the pork
fat. The proper sauce is butter, which is
simply melted, but more usually made into
q sauce with -four and water. This may
be made into an egg sauce by adding
chopped hard boiled eggs.
