Fat i'm Forage Plants.

10 ANYONE not chemist or a quad
ruped the last place TO look for fat
would be hay-mow or stack of straw ;
yet 1t appears from recent investigations
that fat is not only an essential constit-
uent OF hay, straw and similar forms of
vegetation, but one of considerable
economic value.
In the lower leaves of oats in blossom
Arndt found as much as 10 per cent. of
the dry weight to consist of fat and wax
the latter appearing as the blush bloom
so conspicuous on the leaves Of luxurIant
cereals. In fodder crops generally the
greatest proportion of fat is found in
young and thrifty plants. THIS WcsY

iD ~ same meadow, collected in the
latter part of June, there was but lit

norton of fat is increased by nitro.
penous manures; the grass OF sewagee
meadow at Rugby contained about
per cent. of fat, while similar grass, no.
sewageu, afforded less than . per cent
| of fat.
The nature of this sort of vegetable
| fat was investigated some little time age
by the German chemist KONG, who
| found that by treatment witt
strong alcohol the fat of grass ane
clover hay could be separated into two
parts, one solid waxy substance, the
other fluid fat, soluble in alcohol. Al
first he considered the latter TO be
true glycerine, but changed his mn
after the investigations OF Schulz, WHIT
proved that though it contained the same
proportion of carbon and hydrogen a
ordinary fat, the fluid fat Of hay is some
thing quite different, since no glycerln'
can be obtained from it.
Konig has since confirmed these re
suits and carried forward the investlga
ton. showing that the fat Of oats, ry!
and yetch seed is similarly constituted

Value Of New Agricultural Products

The old saying that a new broom
sweeps clean applies with peculiar force
to the subject of agricultural products.
The question whether new grain, 1ruit,
or breed of animals is superior TO an ola
one of the same class is seldom taken
into account or discussed; and 1T is well
that it is not; for apathy would then
take the place of that enthusiasm which
novelty calls forth, and which is the
foundation of great success IN almost
any calling. We do not wish to be I'M
derstood as asserting that our farmers
have no fixed purpose of their own, OF
that they are weathercocks, snulhng

Water Lilies.

the following account of her method Oh
growing water lilies: The roots having
heen procured i'm the fall were kept damp
dnr;ng the winter in fower-pOts. In the
snrine a tub was made by saving sub
stantial barrel in two; this was set on
brick feet, out of doors, and tnir9
filled with garden soil and weil.rottea
manure. The roots were planted In this
mixture and covered. Water was addeo
in sma quantities, and at intervals OF
dav or two, and so gently as not to dis-
turb the earth, until the tub was fuii'
VERY soon the handsome round leaves,
four or five inches in diameter, MADE
their appearance and filled the tub.
The loss of water by evaporation was
made good from time to time, ana ere
long the blossoms appeared, delightiDg
eyery one by their beauty. when WIN
ter approached the water was allowed &c
dry of almost entirely, and the tub ano
;ts contents put into the cellar and wa
tered at intervals. In the spring tn
roots were separated, and about halt th'
increase returned to the same tuo III
fresh mixture of earth. they wer
brought out earlier than before aDGu

An Editor OF 1875.

Tn I775 there were four newspapers
nubl;shed in New York. Rivington's
Po,oI Gozfffeer was the subservient tool
Of The British authorities. The Mercury,
published by Hugh Gaine, was a time
server and trimmer. AndersOn's Consta-
fuf;oaaI Gazette was born and died I'D
I775. and had no influence whatever.
The Ne,c York Journal, published by JOhh
Holt. was the sturdy and unpurchasable
organ of the Sons of Liberty. Its editor
fled the city after the disastrous Da''le
ON Long Island, and he was hearu oI
afterward as publishing his newspaper

Hudson under circumstances tnat wouio

the month of August, l777. while AT

which he proposed to take any KIND OF
country produce in the way OF trade.
