The Denver Veirs says : Of the crop of small grain raised ia Colorado last year we have only the following figures given as the season's threshing by three machines : Dillon AGrunday bushels 2,291 John G. Lilley. ." 4 2',Zc Hodgson Aliro " "13,133 Total number of bushels,. . 72,314 The iibjve comprises a very small por tion of the crop of the Territory, there being no figures from any counties ex cept part of Arapahoe, part of Douglas, and part of Boulder. The respective va rieties f r the above amount has been returned to us as follows : Wheat bushels, 30,247 Uats " 20, lt):3 Ba-iev- " 7,'.43 live " 53ii Millet. 75 These figures do not include 7,826 bush els of oats and barley returned without giving the amount of respective grain, by Messrs, Hodgson it Bro. Color or DEiM.sirKii Silver. M. Carey O Lea of Philadelphia noticed a curious fact in the course of aphotographia exper iment. A plate was covered with a con- siderable thickness of ammonia-nitrate solution, to which was added a dilute so lution of llochelle salt. The plate was then placed in the sunlight and left for some time. Reduction took place, and the evaporation, which went on simulta neously, hal exhausted over about one half 01 the plate, when it was removed from the sunlight and carefully washed. All that part of the metallic silver on which the solution has been suffered to dry in the sun was pure steel gray, while that which was removed, still wet was a. strong reddish bloom. The contrast between the two was remarkable. It was, moreover, quite permanent, and evident ly depended upon some difference of molecular arrangement. - Complicated Machine. The Albany Journal says: Mr. Gay, a resident near town, has exhibited to us a model of machinery, by which he expects to create a reo!utiou ia dynamics. He calls it a curved-inclined plane application of the mechanical forces upon a .single point for motive results. The model is very complicated to the nnpractieed eye. SndJ Would pass for a big wash-tub filled promiscuously with patent clothes-wringers, as near as anything ; but 011 exam ination there are nine vertical shafts, each the center of an inclined plane, the otliamcters reaching a central shaft, to which motion is to be given by cogs in fhe inclines. It yet remains a mystery to the moderns how the stones on the py ramids were raised : and who knows but that Mr. Gay has struck the lane at last ! He is now taking measures to secure a patent, and a model will soon be on the way to the Patent Office. o- Management of Fkcit Tkeep. It strikes i;s, says the Albany Democrat, sufficient attention is not given by many of our farmers to their fruit trees. A fruit tree, in order to be thrifty and produce well, should be ploughed, close up to the body, every season. Cultivation helps any tree, but particularly the apple and peach. e have noticed, in some little excursions we have taken around Albany, that some fruit trees are more or less covered with moss ; and one gentleman tells vis that this, sooner or later, kills the tree. It sometimes kills oak trees. A remedy for this should be applied. In a conversa tio?i recently7 with Col. Chapman, of Port land, he informed us he knew by experi ence that washing the bodies of fruit trees, every spring, quite thoroughly, with strong soap-suds, would effectually re jaove and kill all parasites of this charac ter. This if true, is a very simple and cheap remedy. 0 A Goon Notice. The Rocky Mountain Gazette of the 2l5d ult., speaks of Oregon as follows : ; Oregon is fast becoming a man ufacturing State, and Montana is rapidly opening a convenient and lucrative field for the consumption of her manufactures and productions. With a view to aiford safe, speedy and cheap transportation to her commercial commodities in this direc tion, the Oregon and Montana Transporta tion Company have established a line of steamers from Pen d Oreille Lake, to Cabinet Landing, on Clark's fork of the Columbia river, which will make tri-week-ly trips between the points indicated. Ad ditional steamers will be placed on the line as the increased trade and travel shall demand. We wish the company the suc cess with their public spirited enterprise deserves. - Important Discovekv. The Orcaonian says a farmer on Columbia Slough has dis covered a new method of preventing birds or squirrels from taking grain up after it is sown. A little coal oil applied to the seed -enough to give the grain the scent of the oil will effectually preserve it from all sorts of marauders. Xo animal will touch the grain after it has contracted the odor of the oil. Even the hog refuses it. The process does not do the smallest injury to the seed. A pint is sufficient for several bushels of grain. It is worth an experiment by anybody. French Semaphores. These signals on the coast of France are now connected with the whole telegraph system of the empire, so that captains of ships may send and receive orders without the ne cessity of entering ports, or even quitting their course. Bles Langstroths and Quimby's works w ill learn anyone all about Bees that is to be known. Miss Tapper contributed a delightful article on this subject in the Ag ricultural Report for 103. Gingf.u SroNCE Cakks. One cup molasses, one cup of butter, two cups fugar, four eggs, thre-o cups of flour, cup of rtulk, soda aad ginger. Raising Chicsexs bv Artificial Means. Messrs. E. 5b F. Crook, of London, have recently perfected an apparatus for raising poultry by hand. It consists of an incu bator and chicken mother. The machines will hatch and rear poultry, phe isants, and other game : The incubator is con stru ted entirety of stout tinned plate. The lower division'contains a napth; lasop that is capable of burning several days without alteration ; it is constructed for use without a wick, the vapour of the spirit burning as it issues through a series of apertures m the tube. The upper cham ber is surrounded by a jacket or ease con taining water ; by this arrangement the heat of the lamp fs equally distributed to all parts of the interior. This portion of the incubator is covered with a thick layer of non-conducting flannel, designed to'prevent the loss of heat by radiation. The eggs to be hatched are placed on two shelves in the interior. The door has a glass panel, through which the escape of airy chicken from the eggs can be observed without the necessity of opening the in cubator. The entire apparatus is so small that it may be placed in a sitting room, and thus remain under constant super vision. As a necessary adjunct to a ma chine for hatching eggs, an artificial mother for rearing the chicken when hatched is made of tinned plate, and is formed of a double jacket, the space between the skins containing water ; the outside is covered with flannel, and the large cavity enclosed within is lined with a warm material. The top slopes to the back, so that chickens of all sizes can nestle closely up to the warm roof, that supplies to them the place of the natural mother. The heat required is produced bv a small lamp placed at hie back, and is conveved to all parts of the apparatus by the circulation of the water contained between the outer and inner sides of the double case, which h used to prevent the straying of the chicken, and the raised perforated slide serves to con fine them entirely to the warm part of the apparatus w hen it may be considered de sirable to do so. The excellent arrange menls of these two contrivances are tin results of many experiments on the most convenient form of apparatus. 1 he .Mama fou splcclatiov. A .New York correspondent writes of an alarming state of things, approaching a crisis in this country lie savs the migration of voung men and bovs from the country to thecitv is almost a rush. The desire for the en joyment of the sensuous delights and tht excitements which are, for the multitude onlv to be found, m large cities, seems to amount to a craving almost as imperative as hunger. If it continues to operate for a generation longer, the fields will be de serted ; and vet thev crv out for tillers and srood Hour is 6-0 a barrel of "it0 pounds. But to live a farmer's life, the sons of farmers, who until now have been the strength and riches of the country scorn, unless it be as the cultivator's proxy of 1,000 or 2.000 acres. The desire or 1 voung men m Jo seems to oe to live " - , 1 , -I 7 1 by buying cheap, and selling it dear, with the chance of a fortune by speculation. and meantime the coarse excitement and vulgar glitter which city life brings to those who are neither of the cultivated few or the toiling many. This morbid craving infects all conditions of life. The papers are filled with advertisements for servants in want of places. Advertise yourself for one and they will come down on you in swarms. - Cheap Gas. We learn from the San Francisco papers that the trial of Ensley's patent gas made at the Mission Woolen Mills was a great success. 1 lie gas was made irom refuse animal matter, such as bones, clippings from tanneries, waste from woolen mills, markets, hotels, etc. together with a little pine wood. That used in the sixtv burners on the occasion in question was made from forty-five pounds of stove wood and fifteen pounds of animal matter the total cost 01 labor and material being but 37 cents! The gas manufacturing apparatus and the gas fixtures at these mills cost only S1.0U0. The entire cost of this gas is about 40 cents nor l.OLM) feet, and is offered at, 1 r 1.000 feet, while in Sacramento the cost of gas is 81) per thousand. The light from the new gas is just as good, the papers say, as that now 111 use and made from coal. By and by the public streets and private houses may be cheaply lighted. For the sum of 81.000 manufacturing ap paratus can be put up that will supply an entire block. How to Keep Eggs. An experiment has been recently tried with great success, in this county, of immersing eggs in boiling water for a few seconds to keep them fresh for a long time. The reason eggs decay is that the atmosphere penetrates the pores of the shell, evaporates the watery portions inside, and decay begins. .a rcmeuy iiko the above is easily per formed, for a hundred eargs m a basket can be dipped at once into a tub of boil ing water. Ihev arc to be held in the water long enough to count 20 at a fast rate. The heat of the water conceals the surface of the albumen immediately undo: the egg-shell, thus forming an air tight coating, which prevents evaporation and decay. Beef Cakes. Take the best sirloin of beef one pound : boil it until soft, boil also a beef tongue until soft. Take one pound of tongue, chop it and the sirloin very fine, with a quarter of a pound of suet, and a quarter of a pound of raisins. After you have made them as Hue as you can. add pepper and salt to taste, also one tea-spoonful of cloves, one tea spoon ful of alspice, one onion chopped fine. one tablespoonlul of hour. Mix all well together, form into cakes, and fry in bat ter. Cueam Pie. Take Hour enough for the crust ; salt it and mix with cream ; roll the crust : sprinkle some flour between so that they need not stick together o.iKe 111 a quick oven. v uen done, separ ate the crusts, and take two tablespoon lul of flour, the same of white sugar, one egg : beat all together. Bod half pint of tniik, put in the batter of sugar and egg and stir it until it thickens": then add some extract of lemon, and put it oeiween tue crusts, ana vou have a nice pie. Cipeu Apple Sauck. The best kind of sauce irom sweet appies can oe maue - 1" 1 1 by using new cider slightly soured. Pare and quarter and core the apples nicelv. and cook in the cider until tender. Add cinnamon, cloves and alspice. Of course. made in this way it will not keep as when boiled cider is used, but if there be a barrel of cider in the cellar.it can be made fresh for use as often as needed. Mock Mixce Pje.
