WHEAT SHRINKAGE.-Recent ex-
periments instituted to test the average
loss in wheat by drying gives the follow
ing result: Corn loses one-ffth and
wheat one-fourteenth by the process.
From this the statement is made that
farmers will make more by selling un-
shelled corn in the fall at seventy-f re
ceuts than the following summer at one
dollar bushel, and that wheat at 81 81
in December is equal to $3.50 for the
same wheat in June following. This
estimate is made on the basis Of interest
at seven per cent. and takes no account
of the loss by yermin.

EVERLASTING FENCE PosTS The
correspondent OF the Western Rural
says, | discovered, many years ago,
that wood could be made to last longer
than iron in the ground, but thought
the process so simple and inexpensive
that it was not worth while making any
stir about. | would as soon have popu-
lar. Eastwood, or quaker-ash, as any
other kind of timber for fence posts. [
have taken out bass-wood posts, after
having been set several years, that we're
as sound when taken up as when they
were first put in the ground. Time and
weather seem to have no effect on them
The posts can be prepared for less than
two cents apiece. For the benefit OF
others, | will give the receipt: Take
boiled li6seed oil and stir in it pulver-
lied charcoal to to the consistency OF
paint. Put coat of this on the timber
and there is not man who viii! live tc
see it rot

PROBABLY not one person in ten can
tell the size of our great fresh water
lakes, They are as follows: Lake Su-
perior-Length; 335 miles; breadth, leo
miles; meau depth, 5SS feet; area, AZ,
600 square miles. Lake Michigan
Length 800 miles; greatest breadth, $50
miles, mean depth, 900 feet; elevation,
507 feet; area, $4,000 square miles;
Lake Erie-Length, 25C miles; breadth
50 miles: depth, 81 feet; elevation, $50
feet; area, 5000 square miles. 1t will
thus be seen that Superior is the largest,
the most elevated, and contains the
largest area; that Michigan is the deep
est and the broadest; that Huron is the
shortest and has the loweet elevation;
tina. Erie is the narrowest, the shallow
est and contains the smallest area, and
that Superior and Huron are the same
breadth.

IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-It is said
that a DR.. Higgings, OF Pennsylvania,
has demonstrated by inuumcrable ex.
periments that a sure antidote TO the
poison of any serpent is found in its
gall This discovery is not only Of vast
Importance in itself, but suggestive of
another which may be of equal or
greater value, 4. e., that the same rule
may obtain in the canine and feline
races as in the ophidian. The season of
rabid dogs is upon US, and, doubtless,
before it is over many cases Of hydro-
phobia will occur in our wide extended
country. No prophylactic or antidote
has hitherto been discovered against
that terrible disease. If, upon expert
ment, the gall Of the rabit dog should
prove an antidote to the virus, it would
be a great boon to humanity.

ANOTHER POSTAL PECULIARITY
We learn something new every day
about the postal cards The latest val
liable piece Of informations is that they
cannot be sent at the ordinary rate when
written over the side intended for ad.
dress. You may write your letter and
crowd as much as possible in in a micro
scopic hand upon the blank side, but let
no word transgress the opposite face, else
the full letter postage must be forthcom.
ing to save your letter from confscation
A case of this kind was brought before
the postmaster general, who decided
4'that any additional matter other than
the address on the face of postal card
renders it unmailable except at letter
rates Of postage.
