Movement Of Grain.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
There is a very decided tendency of
grain this year toward the st. Law
renee. During the year ending May
31st there were shipped from Chicago,
Toledo and Milwaukee 1,797, 96l bush
els of corn. OF this amount nearly
one-half, or 800, 900 bushels, went to
Canadian ports. There are now three
lines of foreign steamers which sails
from Montreal. and three ships sail
each week They have a capacity of
about 1907 900 bushels of grain. The
grain traffic of Canada increases very
rapidly Commerce goes to the cheap
est channels. Our laws impose expen-
siye burdens on everything, and the
Dominion offers advantages once
possessed by MS. The Erie canal
opens this year at a disadvantage.
The water is low. The supply is in
adequate legislation has failed to
promote the canal interest, and a
drought Of two years continuance, has
enhanced all the inconvenience and
hindrances which before existed. Nor
IS grain alone the only product which Is
removed from tins port. The Bulletin
states that few days ago "no less
than 80 vessels were receiving lumber
in Quebec for South America and other
markets. Formerly all this trade be-
longed to New York, bat, while Quebec
IS crowded, there Is scarcely half a
dozen vessels receiving lumber in this
port for foreign destinations. We can
rejoice II the prosperity OF our neigh
bors, but New York may not see any
Of its legitimate traffic slipping away
.gc- i without concern. E4crGv and
economy viii bring it all back.

something About Perfumes.
BY L. c. COOLEY, PHI. D.

Gremio, it is said. had occasion to
send papers to Blanca. He directed
that they should be well perfumed, for,
sad he, "She is StcCeter than perfume
itself. In another play, entitled hiog
Jrha, Shakespeare makes Constance
,Ieak to Death, and lets her call him
thou odOrifr0Us STENCIL" You will
notice that Gremio was thinking Of
pleasant things and that he calls the
scent Il perfume. while Constance
,-luking of that most unpleasant OF all
tnLgs, uses the word odor IN descrlb-
e 1t. From this can you not guess
~ difference between the meanings Of
.-e words perfume and odor. 4 per-
TUNE IS IN odor, but not every odor is
perfume.
cannot tell you who made the first
perfume, nor how long since he did it.

Tying Up Wool.

From the Michigan farnt l.
The best buyers of wool do not like the
wool to be got up in square packages and
tied around twice or three times each way
with strong twme they prefer the fleeces to
be rolled up neatly and left a. loose as pos
sible; SO that each fleece will be springy
and light and elastic to the hand, not solid
hard, square, compact masses, in which
the wool is pressed together till the fleece
feels like brick Then one Irvine tied
across to keep the rolled up fleece in It's
place, and two two twines the other way.
Wool brought into market in this shape
sells better in the Eastern market, and
buyers can afford to give more for it per
pound, because they will get a cent a
pound more for it. The tables and box
arrangements, they contend, may be con
venlent for the farmer, and are probably
handy to use, but they put the wool in such
packages that the dealers regard then with
suspicion and invariably from their so
lidity and hardness gather the idea that the
wool is not well washed that il is oily, or
that it Is moist Beside, the examination
of it is rendered so labOrous that this work
is costly. The box and table arrangements
make such neat square bundles Of the
tleeces that 1t is becoming the general
practice, but it is not one that is preferred
10y the Purchasers, and it does not enchance
prices At this season it is proper to di-
rect attention TO the subject.

Catching Curculio with Cobs.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph thus describes plan for catch
ing the little turk. The inference is that
the curculio lays its eggs in the cobs soak
ed with sweetened water, for unless this be
the case, the plan is futile. lie says:
Soak corn cobs in sweetened water until
thoroughly saturated, then suspend them
to the limbs of the trees little while after
bossoming, being sure to burn the cobs af.
ter the fruit ripens, as they will be found
full of the young insects A good plan is
to change the cobs every few weeks. My
theory is this-that the insects deposit their
eggs in the cobs in preference TO doing so
in the young plums. The first season l
tried it upon one or two only, and in the
summer was rewardedby as good crop of
pnms as ever ripened, while those on the
other trees fell off when about half grown.
Next spring found sweetened corn cobs
dangling from the limbs of all my plum
trees. and the summer found them full of
delicious fruit have never known it to
fail, and hope every reader who has a
plum tree will not fail to try it.

Yet how few people know the
way to boil them in order to retain all

You my method : put Que half dozen

quarts of boiling water over them !;
then set the pail on the hearth. where
the heat is not kept up, and let them
remain from six to ten minutes, accord

From the German.

From the German.
\ deer once saw himself pictured IN
the clear brook.
Truly" said he, Il surpass all
animals in gracefulness and majesty J
How lordly do my horns turn up But
NV feet how lean and ugly !"
Hardly had he uttered these words,
when he saw a lion springing towards
him. With the greatest haste his de
spised feet carried him to the next for
est; but suddenly his broad antlers
we're caught in the over-hanging
tlicket, and he could not tear himself
away.
The lion overlook him and devoured
him.
Learn from this not to value things
for their outward appearance, but for
their inner worth otherwise you viii
often have to repent bitterly your un-
Just judgement.

Apparatus for Testing the Richness of
Milk.

In Dinglers Polytechnischs Journal a
description is given of a very simple APP
psratus for determining the richness of
milk, as measured by its transparency, Two
polished plates of glass are adjusted by
means of screw. to stand al different dis
tances from each other The milk is
placed between them and the distance of
the plates from each other, when the flame
of stearine candle is rendered invisible,
is the measure alike of the Transparency
and richdnss of the milk.
