ELECTRICITY AND AGRICUL- URE.
France seems to be taking the lead
in applying electricity to agriculture,
altho ugh Germany is not wholly idle
in adapting the new motive power to
the wants Of the farmer. Thus at an
agricultural gathering recently held
at Ludenburg. some interesting ex-
periments were made in the use of
electricity instead of steam for the
threshing of wheat. Messrs. Pie tie
and Krizik lit up electrically the
space reserved for machines, and at
the same time utilized the current to
drive an ordinary threshing machine.
The cylinder ofthi machine attained
a speed of 1,4OO turns minute. j.
will probably be a long time before
electricity is generally applied tc
blowing land or driving threshins
machines. but there can be no reason
why farm houses and BUILDINGS
should not be lit up by electri, ity
particularly in the New England
States. where water-power for drivin Q
dynamo Is running to waste on the
majority of homesteads.

HOLDING CROPS FOR A RISE.

Those who concluded to hold crops
in hopes of a rise in price seldom
make sufficient allowance for the va
rious sources of loss. Rats. mice and
insects require considerable daily
bread for their sustenance, and they
seldom fail to obtain all they want
1t is estimated that wheat threshed
in August, and apparently dry, will
lose six per cent. of it's weight in six
months; corn gathered dry in No.
vember will in the same time lose
twenty per cent.-a little more or
less according to the dryness Of the
season-while the loss to potatoes is
still greater. A careful calculation
Of the cost of storage, interest on tie
money lying idle, loss from shrinkage,
vermin, etc., would make the waiting
for possible raise in the market
seem much less alluring.
We do not mean that it is never
better to hold than to sell, but that,
when considering the matter. the
sources Of loss must not be overlook
ed. This season crops early mark.
eted are certain to bring a good price
at least.-S0Mth and Vest.

A statement is going the rounds
of the papers, l suppose started b.
the oil mills who would like to keep
others out o f the business, that the
prohibitory duty put upon cotton
seed oil by the Italian government
will depress the price OF the oil here.
The answer is that the practical e.
clustou of cotton oil from Italy since
last January has not seriously ef'
fected the price. Italy took only
50, quintals Of cotton seed OIL in
December 1881, the largest lmporta'
ton any month. This is hardly a
drop in the bucket. The Italians
have hurt themselves by excluding
this amount. Their mixers did q
good business adulterating the more
costly olive oil with it. This bust
ness has now only been transferred
to Marseilles and other points
Meanwhile, also. the home demand
for cotton seed oil is growing
tremendously. New uses are foune
for it continually. The latest tina
