IIoV to choose a rifle is at once a mys terious and ponderous question, not only to hundreds but to thousands of persons. A contributor to the Atlantic Monthly gives some very good advice to assist nil thoe who have either the curiosity or the nibition to become marksmen, in felect- ing their "shooting irons." The first part of the advice is as follows: "Never buy a gun, and least of all a rifle, without trying it, and not be satisfied with a trial in a shop or shootiug gallery, buf take it into the field, and if you distrust yourself ret some one in whom you have confi dence) to try it for you." This is all very well, but no stranger could go into a gun store and monesily ask for one or several rif.es to give them the benefit of a field trial, as the preparatory process towards buying one; still in the, selection of a irat rate rifle tuch a trial should always I mi - A . I. be nrsi maae. tne way 10 ao mis is r f 1 . 1 n . f . given at follows: "unoose a periecuy calm day. Have a rett prepared upon which not only the gun may be laid, but a support 9ho secure for the elbow'; the hooter being seated. . By this means, ( and with the aid of globe and peek-sights (which should always be used in trying a gun) it may as certainly be held in the ame poMturi at every shot as is if it were clapped in a machine. For the target take a theet of cairi .Jge-paper and draw on it a circle of a foot in diameter. 11 J inside of that drar another four inches from it and paint the fpace between black, leaving a white bull s-eye four indies in diameter against which the globe sight will be more distinctly seen than if it were black. The target should be placed so that ihe sun will shine on your back. On a very bright day brown paper is bettei than white. Uegin snoot ing at 100 yards, and fire ten shots aimed diiectly at the bull's-eye1 without wiping the guu out after each shot. Do not look to see where you have hit till you have fired the string of ten shots. . . . ; ; If you find, when you get through,' that all ihe shots are close together, you" may be ftire that the gun shoots well, though the hits may be some distance from the place aimed at. ThaUwould only prove that l.ne of ?ight was not coincident with the line of fire, which can easily be rectified by moving the forward sight to the right or lefi, according as the variation was to one side or the other. Having fired the iring of ten shots, take a pair of divi ders, aud with a rsdius equal to half the distance between the two hits that are mos' distaut from each other, describe a circle cutting through thH centre of each. Frm ihe t;t ntre of this circle measure ihe distance to each of the hits, add these distances together aud divide the um by j u n. ana ytu nave tne average varuinuu, whicl ought not to be over two iuches at the utmo.t. If the gun. is what it ought to be. arid fired by a. good marssman, it will probably be much less. This is a Mifficient test for precision for that dis tance, and the same method may be ad opted for longer ranges But it the gun shoots well at one hundred yards, its ca pacity for longer ranges may be proved by its penetrating power." When fired at a target of dry pine set at a hundred yards distance, if the bullet penetrates nine inches it may be considered equal to a range of six hundred yards ; if it penetrates twelve inches it may be con sidered equal to a range of one thousand yards. Many persons suppose that the best way to increase the range is to in crease the charge of powder, and that a certain amount of pwder, varying for every range should be used. But it is held by first-rate marksmen that a specif ic charge should be uWd for all rangesj and that the increased range thould be obtained ' ty elevating tbe sight. The contributor to the JHlaniic Monthly states 'ihe proper charge of powder for every rifle is about oils seventh the weight of the buUet." A very common way of testing the charge capacity of a rifle is to commence a series of shots with n small charge and increase the quantity every fcholuntilthe rifle kicks, when the charge used for the previous shot is selected is . , . . ... i .t T V J . fji i:!

The kicking almost al ways depends on- the r lubrication ' of the patch nnd'the condition' or the h'arreh Some Useful directions are given for the purpose of keeping a rifle in order. Afe ler firing it should be wiped with a clean wet rag Canton flannel is stated to be the best ; then it should be wiped dry and oiled.- ' We hare-found -that -refined '"pe troleum is about the best liquid that can Le used for .wiping out a rifle barrel, which should alyay3be kept as bright as a looking-glass or good shooting 'cannot be expected from if. A rifle oiled with refined petroleum, in which a little bees wax has been dissolved, may be laid , by for a year without a speck of rust gather ing upon it. Of course the whole residue of the powder must be first washed off with a .wet rag. The most sure way of obtaining a first-rate' rifle, is lo 'engage it vt a first-rate maken s There are several of Mich in Ihe t ouutry who prefer to have their rifles fairly tested before being pur chased. As with a new ax, Ivnvever, so it is vi;n a rme; 11 lawes ome nrne-io get the Lang of it;'' and. as :. every marksman has his peculiarities, ;so one may shoot well with one rifle and not with another, While the reverse would be the case with the same rifles by another marksman equally as good. Th$ finish ing advice which we would give to marks men is: when you gel a good rifle one with which you are a sure shot "hold on to'itf Scientific JJmerican, m " " " from More Rural New-Toiker. Value or Food---Its Nutrition. Some of our readers will no doubt, re member what we said last week of. the causes which affected the apparent riutri tion of food, of one of those - causes to which we called especial attention the ease or difficulty of digestion. , Core that passes through the stomach undigested is of no more value than so much corn cob p? wood. To obtain, the full value of the food given to. an animal,- it must not only be put in, such, a condition by grinding, or soaking, that; it can be di gested by a ht-althy animal, but the stom ach of the animal , must be.m a healthy state, ready for its appropriate work. r Neglect of these points has caused many to form very unjust conclusions, and we urge all to f xercise'eare. so that their experiments, whn completed, may give no "uncertain sound.'' but announce im portant truths: that will benefit all who hear and heed. The nutriti ve effects .of food are dependant on other circumstan ces than the health of the -.animal, and the condition of the food,- such as the purposes for which it is fed; whether the animal is young and growing, or of ma- a f t ' t " 1 lure age; the mode in y,'ni n it isnousea and protected from the cold, &c.;, so that it will be apparent that to establish a scale exhibiting the comparative nutri tion of feeding substances, is a work of difficulty and liable to mistakes; and our reader. must not be surprised should their experience differ somewhat from the es timates given. Although we make this acknowledgment, which truth der.ianUs, th- knowledge already gained on this subject is of great value, as it furnishes a useful, though not infallible guide. To makea,ci'n,Paral've estimate of the value of food, it is necessary that some article well known and uspd generally, should taken as a standard, or starting point, with which to, compare others -Meadow or Timothy hay has been select ed as the article best adapted to this pur pose, and is presented by the number 100. Any article like potatoes, containing one h.ilt as much nutriment as bay. that i pound 1 for pound, is put down at 200 showing that it would require 200 pounds of potatoes, or any article con'uining the like amount of nutriment, to produce the same result as 100 pounds of hay. A pound of corn contains about twice as much nutriment as a pound of hay, and is therefore put down at 50. showing that fifty pounds of corn will produce the same effect as 100 pounds of hay. Abopt three pounds of carrots are equivalent to one pound of hay, and this root is therefore fouud in the tat5ies at 300. though the experience of some has rhown they are of more value than these figures indicate. The difference may.be attiibuted to some of the causes to which we have before alluded. Indeed, if auy animal has beeu Lent on drv food for some time, the with- hoiding of a few pounds of hay each day, and for each one substituting two pound of carrots, will be found benefiial. Not. perhaps, because the carrots are equiva lent in nutritious matter to the loss of hay but because an animal , in this condition craves moist refreshing food, like the carrot or beet, and its health is thereby improved,5 and its comfort secured. With this explanation all will be able to under stand the table blow, which we have selected from the best authorities : ThEUKKTICAL.I I KXPRKIMENTH 9 FOOD. . . i 5 I i. r 3 ' Meadow liny, Rye straw Oat straw Baflsy straw Whea straw- Pea straw Buckwheat straw.

The best calculations made in Europe on .the capabilities of the soil,, for produ cing food, assume that one and a half tuns of hay is' the general or average yield per acre, and this is higher than the average yield in any of thi States of our Union. By the table it, will be seen that the one pound of corn is equal to two of . hay, so that to produce the sang nutrition from an acre of corn, as from an acre yielding one and ia half tuns of hay, the former must, yield twenty-five bushel, nt sixty pounds to the biisheL Of course'the dit- soil, &c':: must W taken' inu, 'i-Aii-i -1era- tion.'

I. 1 one of hay, but as we re wish to be careful on this point, and not to encourage ex pectations that will never be realized, we will, in our calculation, reduce its value to one-fourth that of hay, and one-eighth that of bom. According ttf this it will require 1200 pounds of carrots, which is 200 bushels, at sixty pounds to the oush el, ,to be grown on an acre, to furnish an equivalent for the one and a half tuns of bay, or twenty-five bushels of. corn. Every one will observe, in a moment, that this is little more than a quarter of a crop of carrots, as no one should think of growing less than six hundred busheh to the acre, and our State Agricultural So ciety ery wisely refuses to consider ap plications for premiums where the quan tity is less. At this rate one acre of car rots will produce as much nutritive mat ter as three acres in hay, which gives one and a half tuns to the acre, or of corn, which yiels twenty-five bushels. Of course, the quantity of hay and corn, with which this is compared, is by no means a preiriium crop, nOr do we consider six' hundred bushels'of car'rrits a large vild, for we find cases in which premiums hare been awarded, in this State, for more than double this quantity to the acre. Our remarks, however, are designed onlyr to suggest he manner in which the table may be made very valuable, in inciting to thought and. figures that may be ulti mately worked out to the profit of our readers. From ;he Scientific American The Cold Mines of California of no Value to tbe World. Gld mining, provided the metal is used for coin, adds nothing to the wealth of mankind. If a man owns a steam en gine worth ten thousand dollars, the en gine forms this portion of ihe wealth of the wild. And if the man devotes his surplus labor, besiJes that which is nec essary to procure a living, or expends his surplus profits in constructing a second engine of equal efficiency and value, he adds another ten thousand tlolhrs to 'h wealth of the wot Id. But labor in sim ply adding to the weight of his engme. without increasing its efficiency or use fulness in any respect, does, not byihe operation augment the wealth of himself' of the community or of mankind. In complex states of society, the ennu merable exchanges of property which people mutually desire to make, are effec ted through the medium of money. Thti articles which first came into use as mon ey were the most valuable metals ; the natural properties of these substances their indestructibility, "portability, S;c causing them to be sought for this use. As civilization advanced, and the organi zations of society became more complex, certain individual and associations ex changed their notes, premising to. pay either gold or silver or platinum on the presentation of the note, and these notes also came into use as money, being re ceived by persons in exchange for articles ot value on the faith that the stated quantity of valuable metal could be ob tained tor them at any time. The money in circulanon in this count ry amounts to about two ptr cent of the whole wealth of the country, : anr it U pfobable that in other countries the pro portion is about the same. Kov; the point that we make is, that thM proportion (of two per cent) will not bo altered hy: doubling the amount of money in the world ; for' prices will advance so as to double the nominal va'.ue of o;her prop erty, and thus ' the proportion will be maintained. The price of an article is it value relatively to gold, or platinurfi, or whatever metal is the standard, and prices must vary with all changes in this rela tive value. It" a bushel of wheat fs worth an ounce of silver at one time, it may, at another lime, be worth as much as two ounces of silver from either of two causes it may be twice as difficult 10 g;t the wheat or twice as easy to get the silver. If twice as many pounds of gold and silver are thrown into use as money, it will take twice as many pounds to uo tne same i work, and the work will be no better done by the larger quantiiy than by the smal ler.

M. L. Dunlay.of the Chicago Tribune, states that he has seen a perfect prairie lence or hedge made of the white willow, (called also gray willow.) the cuttings o. which were nut out in JSo3. The cuttings were put one foot apart, the soil dry and rich, just above overflowed flats. The trees are. now forty feet high, and i dpe "efficiently close toexcIui!e m l horaed j slock for: and only to a low- the r r"o' v... ihe. trees are six inches in diameter form a fine screen against winds, and are I estimated to 'produce nearly or quite a coru 01 wooa to tae rou. Alter the cut tings were set out, they received horse cuiuvaiiou, oui. we are not inronneu ior . . - " ta )CUia' .usllu u em out add neglect them, or allow cattle access to the trees while they are young, would be entirely useless,' and would of course end in failure. F. -K Phoenix, (who has an especial abhorrence of all humbugs,) in a lite Prairie Farmer, expresses his entire'confiilence in this tree for screens and hedges for prairies provided it is rightly treateu', namely, 1st,. by preparing the grounJ in the best orders 2d, by ob taining a good stand ; and 3d, by keeping the cattle away from it for several years, as they will browse it. The willow here spoken of? is the spe cies so well known in Europe and exten sively grown for timber, known to botan irts as the Sal ix alba. In a letter re ceived last year from Charles Downing, he says, "The best, willow for timber, hoop poles, &c., is what Dr. Grant calls the "Beveridge willow," (the proper name I do not know,) but the purpurea is best for hedges cattle are not so apt to eat it, and it may be so woven together as o Le almost impassable." The ex treme bitterness of the bark and leaves of the Salix purpurer prevent cattle from touching it ; and the very tough and flex ible shoots may be'interlaced in any de sirable menner. Loudon says that" in Norfolk, Suffolk, and in some parts of Essex, England, it is used for plaiting into low close fences, fof the exclusion of hares and rabbits, which will not touch the shoots, and that a fence, of this kind is reckoned but little inferior, to that of wire." The Beverage willow, of which we have trees growing from cuttings re ceived of Charles Downinrr. if not the bid "Salix cai.rta, is certainly very nearly al- lied to it. and perhaps merely & variety, although in a genus containing over two i-undred species and some, of these run ning into many varieties, it is hard to speak with on.idence. These remarks are made, not for the purpose of positively recommending any of 'he&e willows for . hedges, tut for the encouragement of experiments which may lead to something valuable. Whiie.the entire fences of the northern states can not he a dollar less than five hundre.j millions, it is well worth while to g'.ve some nttention to all the possible ways in which the expense may be lessened and farm barriers made more secure. Why dld'nt I plant an Orchard ? It is no uncommon occurr ence now-d-days to hear Iowa farmers exclaim : lfOh had I planted an orchard, of two or three hundred trees on my p'jace when I came here, their product would have been a fortune to me. S'e that lone tree yon der, only ten years from the sped, would you b.-lieve :.t ? We had five bushels from that tree this season.1 1 These idle, regrets are ever heard, but still do not seem to impart ihe prac tical lessoM which this Important subject nemandi. Thousands of Iowa farmers in the ?acc of incontrovertible evidence as to the practicability of raiding fruit here,, rtre still neglecting the orchard and even the fruit garden, until a little more s done upon the farm in some other di rection buildinss perfected a little more bronght under the plow, and little else remaining in the way of improve ment. In short, the most important branch of farming is too often ihe last to com mand the operator's attention. Why we ask, do farmers patronize that dear old school master, personal experience, while his exhorbitant tuition is matter of every day'd conversation ? In vain i: i3 shown, from time to time, that fruit .trees well planted and cared for, foot up the larg est gains, in proportion to tha expendi tures of time and money, of any branch of farming. Resclves are rriade while the evidence is fresh before the mind, and some future day set for the procur ing and planting of the tree3. , The day perhaps is set, at least the time is named when the nearest nursery is to be drawn upon for the necessary number of trees; but in the meantime some other fancied duty steps in, and tree planting is again laid over to another season, and so it goes year after year Such hi3 been the prac tice of far too mmy. who could have had ere this, if they had pos-essed the, will a good orchard.

IIott Mist Is Generated. " The production of mist is the sub; ject of a note by tlie veteran Dr. Jpnrt Davy, (brother of fctr Humphrey in the 'Edinhurg Philosophical Journal. The cause usually assigned for mist ii the accc33 of cold air, and its xul mix ture with warmer air,, saturated,, or nearly saturated, with moisture, (snch as that resting on the sucfaco pflargo bodies of water,) and strikingly exem plified in our autumnal and- winter fog?, when ! the water, owing to tha heat absorbed" daring summer, is of t higher temperature than the inflowing air. Dr. Davy, however, refers to another cause, not sa much- noticed, viz : a ini!), moist airr coming in contact, with a , colder .air, . coually humid, resting on cold surfaces, whetherofIand.br water,' about tho end of winter or beginning of spring, lie describes mists which he considers to have been thus formed in the l.iko district of Cumberland. - To a similar cause, also, lie refers the phenomenon" termed sweating, -which is tha "precip itation of moisture on walls and Sag ged floors excluded from the inflaenco of fire. He also attributes, toa warm south wind, succeeding a .very cold north wind, the deposition of a targe, quantity of moisture in the gillerj of a nobleman in Devonshire, mid quotes the saving in Homer, The ftoulh wind wrap3 tho monntain top iu mist.' .
