The crop for market ii allowed to ripen. The seeds and woody fibre of the stem add to its weight, if thej- do not to its nutritive qualities. Ground haT is as heavy as oats as by measurement. What ground straw would weigh, I have no means i f judging. Will not some of our farmers who sow largely of small grain try the experiment of grinding straw and, feeding it this summer and fall, ahd report progress ? D. W 1 ATT A1KEJN. Tobacco hi Algeria. . The cultivation of tobacco in Al geria has been' carried out very-successfully, the soil and climate ot that country, being well suited to the growth of the plant. In 1874.no less than 9,700,000 pounds were pro duced and pasied through the State warehouses. The value ot this crop was 141,224, or nearly double that An Imported Matural Guano.i A GENUINE ANIMAL DEPOSIT. of 1873. The experiment though it IS no longer merciyrau eAjJurimem, but a practical industry has been, carried on since 1874, and during the past twenty-seven years about 140,000,000 pounds weight of tobac co has been produced and sold. , A monopoly of this valuable deposit has been created m favor of .r Crown Officers. The name " GUASAHAXI is a registered Trade Mark at the Un t ei States Patent Office and all persons are warned from making use of the same in .connection with fertilizers of any kind. The Company Guarantees that Every Cargo will be Analyzed Before it is Offered for Sale. in' And trip with your traps to the old camp ! ii. sugar Your trees newly tapped, your fires bravely snapping ; The sap running Rayly, you alter it tramp ; No woodpecker ever, his "hollow beech" tap Ping.

Straw thoroughly dried in the sun, especially when the grain wa3 allow ed to get perfectly ripe, before har vesting, is very silicious and difficult of masticatjonj ; hence when housed, it should be sprinkled with brine, a .strong-salt water, or, what is much better, it should be ground for feed ing.
