done by letter, and the transfer be made
by railroads. Ten or forty cents addi-
tional for freight will be more than twice
made up in the increase in yield. But
generally the increase in quantity is not
the main advantage. The improvement
in quality more generally attends change
of seed If this matter is attended To in
time it can be done well and economi-
calir-.
There is not enough attention paid to
the question of seed corn. This is the
great staple crop of the West. The diff
ference each year in the quality of seed
reaches in the result high in the millions.
There is little doubt that the average Cor
entire Iowa could be raised ten bushels
if this question was as thoroughly can
vassed by all farmers IS it should be. An
advance of ten bushels per acre would
make differ "a &c I the crop of twenty
five million bushels. All around us we
see corn planted that raises only small
and dwarfed ears, and is persisted in for
the reason that it always gets ripe. In
short seasons like ours that is an i'm
portant consideration. But the energy of
farmers, the attention Of agricultural
societies and of scientific experimenters
should produce a larger quality OF early
corn. Too little attention in this way
has been paid to so important a crop as
corn Often the large variety of warmer
ATTITUDES is brought here, but an early
frost checks its career. No sufficient
effort has been made to produce early
corn of these large varieties. More pains
and twice the scientific skill are applied
to the efforts to get a potato earlier
than the rose, or superior TO the peach
blow. But in value the potato crop is
only a mite in comparison with corn.
Mind is equal to this question if 1t be di-
rected in that channel. Iowa is on the
northern border of the corn belt, and re-
Quires more attention to seed than in
Kentucky or Tennessee, yet the average
yield in our State is above either of the
States named. But there is no cause
why our average should not be increased

Air.

LORD KTNNAIRD, in the course of a
long letter to q contemporary regarding
the ventilation of dwelling houses, says
People imagine that as foul air is light
it is only necessary to open hole IN the
ceiling or open window at the top to
allow it to escape, and are surprised
when these openings are closed by the
inmates to feel cold air beating down on
their heads The fact is that the foul
air emitted from the lungs of the oCcu-
pants of room ascends while warm,
but when cold it falls to the ground.
Anyone taking ladder and going TO the
top of room where number of people
are sitting would find the vitiated air
uubearable A bird could not live long
in it, When there is fireplace in II
room the foul air first asccnds, and then
drawn up the chimney, SO that q person
sitting near the fireplace inhales this bad
air. The remedy is to take off the witt
atcd air at the ceiling bya syphon acting
on the reverse system of water syphOn.
Where there is no Fireplace in aroom the
case is serious indeed, We found that q
Bird placed on the floor of such a room
where two people slept, was dead in the
morning. Were not our ancestors wise
in having high bedsteads, and they were
higher than the iron bedsteads now com
monty used Shakedownsn are there
fore most injurious to health, The great
difficulty in ventilation is to make the
atr move. One plan may be seen carried
gut on large scale in the Houses Of
Parliament \ huge furnace at the top
If The house, kept constantly burning
draws its life from the Houses, libraries,
dining room, tcarooms, committee rooms
and kitchen of the Palace OF Westmin.
,.er and such is its power that burnt
pieces of paper have been drawn from
the Victoria Station to the Palace. The
read difficulty is the supplying of fresh
ar TO fill up the vacuum, which in our
dwellings is drawn from the window
sashcs and doors and keyholcs.

Change Seed.

Harvest is over, and many are market
mig Their wheat and corn. Now is a
good time to look to the question of the
change Of seed. Vegetation, as well as
animals, deteriorates unless prevented

need frequently change of location more
Ian change to another kind of seed
Grain grown in the cold atmosphere and
Clay soil of Canada, Northern New York,
or Vermont, when taken to the warmer
SOILS and atmosphere Of the Middle or
Western States, produces far more luxuri-
anl,y than seed sown in the same soil for
a -ozen years. It is the general remark
mat wheat is failing and yielding less to
'le acre every year, even where new and
virgin soil is used. Change of location
Is what Is wanted Nor is it necessary

FACTS AND FIGURES.

Next spring will find the American
Tract society half Il century old. Dur
ing these fifty years 1t has published
over 900 volumes.
In length, Lake Ontario is 1870 miles ;
Greatest breadth, 90 miles; area, ISL
souare miles area of watershed, 81, 5S'
sduare miles; discharge at outlet, 49,, S5s
cnbic feet per second; greatest depth,
G00 feet. The grand total of these lakes
including several smaller lakes is los,
6g1 square miles, showing that our lakes
constitute about one-third OF all the
fresh water on the globe
1t is stated that more bouquets mot

month in the city of New York than in
the course of a whole year in the city OF
London This is perhaps tritling eN-
aggeration, but Mr.. Dickens said pretty
much the same thing in writing OF his
American experience several years ago,
so that it is evident that our love Tor
flowers is sufficiently conspicuous to at
tract the attention of foreigners.
The closest estimate gives to Texas
100000 heads of cattle. Of these there
are $50, 900 beeves, $50, 900 cows and l.
900 600 young cattle. There are annual
ly raised and branded 750, 900 calves.
New York State, with 100000 inhabit-
ants, has but GAS 900; Pennsylvania,
with over 8, 100000 inhabitants, has T2l,
600. Ohio, with 100000 people, has
5000; Illinois, with $500, 600 people,
has $4,000; Iowa, 100000 people, has
$50, 900.
The crops in Maine have been unu-
sually large this year, and more than the
usual interest has been manifested in
agricultural pursuits. Names staple
crop is hay, of which it raises not only
enough for its own use, but ships tens of
thousands of tons annually TO other
States. The yield, this year, is / SOC, 800
tons worth $24 ,00O, 000), much above the
average though less than in 1878, when
2.O07 900 tons were cut. In the vicinity
of Augusta bundle hay is now selling for
SIS and $50 per ton. The crop of corn is
far below the average, being 6S2 ,0S0
bushels, against 1852 600 bushels in 1878,
and ,60O,0 bushels in 1870. The wheat
crop is the largest and best for at least
ten years, amounting to 292, 261 bushels,
against 2l9, $50 bushels last year The
yield of rye is 32,712 bushels, against
260l0 bushels last year. Oats amount
to 1,65S,362 bushels, against |, 302 100
bushels in 1873; the barley crop is much
below the average, while the total yield
of potatoes is 3,027,071 bushels, about
1870, 900 bushels larger than lastyear's crop.
The cash value of farm products in
Maine is STAG per acre, much less than
in any other New England State, but
more than in Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota and nearly twice as much as
in Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. Much
more attention than formerly is being
paid to market gardening. The cram
berry and hop crops were heavy this
year, and the value of orchard products
in lhe State is about 81 ,O0O, GOO.
