In October last tbollamiltou Times mentioned that a field of fell wheat had been mowed on the farm of Thos. Wood, lot 1, con, 1, New survey of Trafalgar, Helton comity, Tho wheat stood about eighteen inohee high, anti Mr. Wood ran the mower through it, cutting M' about twelve inuhee. Con- siderable curiosity was felt to know how the wheat would turn out after that treatment. Tho field Inid a fine appearance tide year—all the °reps aro good m Halton county except spring wheat—and the threshing showed the following results :—Ono hundred anti forty pounds of Medit- erranean Hybrid seed, yielded eighty- eight bushots. On the remainder of the field, which was sown with Dom- ocrate wheat, the yield was forty bushels to the acre. The farmers in the vicmety are of the opinion, from the result of this experiment, that it is good policy to snow wheat iu the fall, when the top is exoop tionally heavy. YARLLTIES.

On the continent of Europe rail- way locomotive engines give only ono short low whistle on approaching a station. In England they keep up a soul -piercing scream for several miles. It is not necessary to say what they do in this country.

A. waiter brought out some shrimps which the Georgian stowed away as best he could. In a moment the waiter re -appeared with a stand of celery. "No," said the Georgian, shaking his head solemnly, "I have tried your bugs and I don't like them, and you can bet yer life I don't want none of your grass 1" A valuable cow in Yorkebire, Eng - laud, having broken her leg, the vet- erinary Burgeon was asked to ampu- tate the limb and try to save the ani- mal. This was done, and the stump of leg healed naturally and complete- ly. When the swelling had subsided, a rudely constructed wooden log was fastened on, with which the cow did so well that she has now been pro- vided with an improved and shapely one upon which her existence seems to be about as happy as before the mishap. A German manufactory is now pro- ducing glucose from old linen rags, which is chemically identical with grape sugar, "Next thing," enye the N. Y.
