nl the COWS have produced more, but the
Quantities stated have been above The
Average. Prlnglc considers this to be a
large Yield, considering the size OF the
animal and the small amount they con
sumo. \ Kerry COW was known to have

the period, YET was scarcely ever dry,
and kept up Il full supply of milk for a

The Fertilizing Power of Rain.

In the average annual rainfall, on an
acre OF land, the clouds furnish $3.50
pounds OF ammonia, 6S.9l pounds of nitric
acid, equal to a total of 4l42 pounds of
nitrogen. This is what the rain does for
the farmer, giving his land a dressing in
nitrogen equal each year to that contain
ed in 2s0 pounds of nitrate of soda or 26s
pounds of guano. Quite a percentage of
each, especially of the ammonia, is lost
by eXhalation from the surface of plants
OF of the land yet sufficient remains to
account for the luXuriant growth promot-
ed by gentle showers, and to indicate the
value and Importance of the yearly rain
fall as an element Of fertility.

An extraordinary proposal to reduce
the week from seven days to five and
further to rename the days, comes from
Australia. II. X. Rusden, the author of
the scheme, enunciates his view in Il
paper on the "Week," in the transactions
of the Royal society of Victoria, where he
expresses the opinion that while reduc-
ing the number Of days in the week, it
would be a good opportunity to discard
the present Pagan names, and to sub
stitute Oneday, Twoday, Threeday and
Fourdav for them-Sunday to he called
Goodday. The author is sanguine us to
the success of his plan, and answers the
plea of impracticabilty with the remark
that "the week itself was actually altered
by the Romans, Greeks and many other
people; and, in fact, as there is no record
of any attempt to alter the week having
ever failed, the allegation of impractical
bility is so far proved to be baseless

The value of trees in sanitary point of

carcely be estimated. Apart from
the sense Of relief and coolness which they
mpalt, their influence as purifiers of the

been calculated that Il good sized elm.

leaves, having a united area of POO, ,O0O
square feet. The competent authority
above quoted proceeds to show that not
only do the leaves absorb dcletcrious
gases, but they eXhale oxygen. They
must, therefore, be of immense benefit
IN oVercrowded and unhealthy districts.
When to this is added that trees modify
temperature, promoting coolncss in sum
ner and warmth in winter; also that they
purify the soil below as well as the at
nosphere above, we have very power

Among the queer things of commerce
is the fact that beet, copper and so many
other commodities which are sent from
the United States to England sell for low
er prices in England than they do here.
The facts in regard to copper are peculiar.
The expectation now amounts to 10000
600 pounds annually, and the product
sells in London from two and half to
five cents pound cheaper than here.
