Meee Fat and Flesh Come cer
They come from tha earth and the ntinosphere, collected by vegetation. Grasa contains
flesh ; so grain. ‘The animal system puts it on
from these. Veyetation thenis the urcdium
throagh which the attinttal world exists; it can
exist iu no other way. When grass or grain is
eaten, the flesh constitacuts are retainad in the
systom ; so ulso the fatty substance, that is,
the starch and sugar, from which fut is mnde.
Some grains have more flesh than others; so
of the qualities that make fat. In a hundred
parts of wheat, according to Piesse, are ten
pounds of flesh; in a hundred pnrts of oatmeal, nearly doubla that amwonut. ITcnce oats
are better tor horses, on uceoant of their fleshformiay principle, rather thau fat, as mascle is
what a horse wants. For Inttening purposes,
however, corit nud other grains are better.
When flesh itself is eaten, the systein but
appropriates what is alreaily formed, but would
as readily take it from vexctables, from floar.
The flesh-inaking principle—or the flesh ttself, in tts constitaents—goes to fori cheese
in the duiry; the starch, &e., batter. tence
i; is that some peopla assert that cream has
little influence in cheese, further thnn to enrich
it; for cheese and butter nre entirely distinct.
The same kind of food is equally good for the
production of either. -Tltis is a point of considerable interest, and is not yet fully expluined
—intleed, it ts yet in its infancy. And a plant
in its different stnges of growth hnsn differcnt
effect. ‘The fat of the plant is held in reserve
for the seed; nothing is wasted in leaves,
wood, &c.; the precious sced must huve it.
Hence when this takes place, the stalk is
comparatively worthless to wliat it is prior to
the change. And the fat canuot be appropriated so well in the seed as when i is diffused through the stalk. ‘fender herbage,
therefore, is the best; und when sccared beforc the direction of the ciltukes place, so
much the better will bo tho hay.
Casvat.tigs.—Three thousand one hundred
and eighty-one persons lost their lives, and
nine hnndred and thirty-five other persons
suffered bodily injnries, by accidents upon
Aincricun railroads or stcamboats, or by explosions of powder mmngazines, or fall of baildings, in America, daring the period between
the close ef the war aid the 3lst ef Angnst—
just five montha. hese figares, supposing the
entire ycar to prescnt a similar record, would
give a total of 7,632 dcatlis, and 2,244 persons
wounded, withia the space of twelve months.

PATENT AMALGAMATOR.
These Machines Stand Unrivaled.
For rapldly pulverizlng and amalgamating ores, they
have noequal. Noeffort has heen, or willbe, spared to
havo them constructed In Ihe most perfect muuner, and of
the great number now In operation, net one has ever reaired repuirs, The constant and Inereasing demand tor
them Is sufficient evidence ot their merits,
They are constructed so asto appiy steam directly Into
tho puip, or with steam hottoms, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operatea as Follows:
The pan belng fliled, the inollon of the muller foreea the
pulp te the center, where !Itis drawn down throngh the ate
erture and between the erlndiug gurtaces, Thence it is
thrown to the periphery into the quicksllver. The curved
plates again draw it to tho center, where It passes down,
and to the cireumferenee as before. Thus ltis coustantly
fers In a regnlar flow hetween the grinding surlaces and
luto the quicksiiver, until tho ore Ils reduced tu an Impalpable powder, und the metai amalgamated.
Seders made on the sume prinelpic excel nll others.—
They bring the pulp so constantly and perfectiy In contact
