coal into our market at fair reasonable rates may probably ere long tong induce the erection and use of the steam engine wherever a more powerful reliable and constant motor than wa water ter which in winter is frequently unavailable is required that the windmill wind mill ingeniously constructed for adaptation to this region might be successfully used in some districts to aid in supplying a water for irrigation as also for other purposes we have little room for doubt during the past few years a goodly number of re apers thrashers thra and other manual labor saving machines have bee been a

sugar cane mills ac got up at the machine shop now in operation in sugar 0 house ward four miles south of this city under the superintendence of mr nathan davis have been pronounced by competent

founding machine and other manufacturing n departments of industry is the tha lack of the universal metal iron the vast quantities of which thus far used and appropriated to the multifarious

relative to the value of carrots and beets for stock feeding being 0 directly in n consonance with ith the views long entertained tai tal ned and repeatedly set forth by us through the columns of the news we most heartily endorse facts for consideration one hundred pounds of corn is worth as much as twenty three i hundred and sixty nine pounds of cobs the ne I 1 millers generally charge more for grin grinding din 0 when they grind the tho co cob so that in reality we pay them more than the cob is worth for their work use the cobs for fuel and they will nearly pay for the shelling of the corrai corn fot for they not only make a good fire but they make a large quantity of first rate ashes cutting and curing grain experiments have pretty well settled the fact says the albany cultivator that wheat should be cut while the grain is in the state called doughy this conclusion was indeed reached several years since in regard to wheat but it has haa by the experiments of been clearly shown to be applicable to indian corn at first it was feared by some that there would be a great shrinkage of the grain cut in this stage which would amount to absoluteness solute loss ness it has been the sap of the stems of straw is sufficient to perfect the grain and that the grain under such circumstances even possesses some valuable properties which it has not when it remains uncut till dead ripe mr colman states that he found by many inquiries in in england that the best rule for i harvesting t is not when the stalk below the I 1 head has chan changed 0 ed color and the circulations have consequently ceased but when the grain though 0 it has ceased to yield any milk upon pressure is yet soft the advantages of cutting at this stage are briefly given as follows wheat cut early affords more grain yields less bran makes 1 better flour wastes less in gleaning gives better straw and enables the farmei farmel to do the cpr wark more leisurely 0 AV johnson in the farmers observes grain if not reaped until the straw is wholly yellow will be more than ripe as the ear generally except in the late seasons ripens before the entire of the straw and it is observable that the first reaped usually affords the heaviest mid and fairest sample the indications of ripeness in wheat are few and simple when the straw exhibits a bright golden color from the bottom of the stem tein nearly to the ear or when the ear begins t to bend gently the grain may be cut but as the whole crop will not be equally ripe at the same time if on walking through t the field and selecting the greenest hv heads ads the kernels can be separated from the charf chaff when rubbed through t the hands it is a sure sign that the grain is then out of its milky state and may be reaped with safety for although the straw may be green to some distance downwards from the ear yet if it be quite yellow from the bottom upwards the grain then wants no farther nourishment from the earth andia properly harvested it will not shrink these tokens will be found to i fitly indicate the ripeness of wheat barley and oats but that of rye arises from the straw losing some of its golden hue and ancl becoming paler some of the most mort valuable experiments which have been reported on this subject are those of mr hannam in the and volumes of the quarterly jour journal nal aal ofa of sericulture the trials were made under his own direction and with great eare care he cut samples of wheat at five dif dlf different derent times as follows noil noll no il was cut almonth before fully ripe 2 three weeks t 3 two weeks 4 two days it 5 when fully ripe of these lots pounds of grain of each yielded as follows no flow flour Se seconds cords bran b 1 75 pounds 7 pounds 17 pounds 2 76 11 7 11 t 16 it 3 80 91 5 13 is 4 77 11 7 14 19 5 72 19 11 15 it thus it appears that no 3 which was cut two weeks appears before afore it was fully ripe was superior brior to the other lots giving more per bushel kushel bushel than no 5 cut when fully ripe bv by 6 gy pounds of hour flour and a gain of about fifteen per cent on the flour of equal measure of iraln frain r a in pounds of wheat of no 3 makes 0 pou pounds rounds ads of flour

no 5 a g greater reater quantity of flinty particles which would not pass the bolt than in any of the other lots the bran from no 5 was also much thicker add and heavier than that of no 3 mr air hannam concludes therefore that in cutting wheat two weeks before it is full fully of ripe there is a gain of fifteen per cent of flour upon equal measures a gain of fourteen per cent in the weight of straw and a gain of Ts cd sterling in the value of every quarter ibs lbs of wheat many trials have been made in this country in cutting wheat at various stages and the results agree agree generally with those above given but when grain is cut before it is ripe it is necessary that it should undergo a process ob oft curing lefore before it can be safely stored jn in the barn or stack a hence it
