A wax iiup'i es ion was then made of the locks of Negus sale, imitation keys procured, and a watch set on his cp. rations.

Hut facts seem to imiieate that when the proportion of clay is much less than vc have ,-pecilied, the soil j. in cniiseijueuce Comparative ly un fitted for the production of this grain. And the rea-on seems to be. that sandy soils arc deficient iu regard to the ipiantity of pota-h and its kindred aihaiis, and a!-o of pho-i-ho- rie acid, all which iugredieiits enter largely lino rne compOsiuoii ol vvneat, tjotli as ifs pteti the straw and the grain; and, there lore, no s iil deficient iu these coii-tituents Can !'- successfully Cultivated iu Wheat. -J.

S far as I have I ten abie to collect facts, cither liom my ohii hinited cxp.-i iencij and practice, or from rca iing and observation, I ft ci safe iu giiii g it as a eneial rule, tiiat unle-s where t.,e -oil is lre-h, or from its natural C-ill-titUeltts peculiarly Well suited to ti.i.t crop, the only iv.iy to obtain a sure an 1 a!

Win n the time for sow ing approaches, such manure from the barn yard as you de-igii lor it should be placed on il, and plowed under with a two-horse nlou wii'n .,- Hit!,. ielay as possible. This lone when the ground is i - - plow nig should be lirv, and wiuii thus done, the field uiav be tsui-id. led as ready for the seed. 3. Tin' time and manner of sowing. In this climate for those kinds of late wheat gt i.i rally cultivated, from t he loth Septem ber 10 the -oth October, would seem to be the most suitable time for sowing. This gives ample time for the grain to acquire sufficient grow th and stamina before winter coiiiinei c s ; and il also permits tl.e ground to become suilit it liily compact to preVttit its being t o ca-iiy washed by the heavy rains of winter, or spewed up by the fro-t. Ill regard to May wheat, it should be sowed a little later than some other kinds, iu ir der to avoid the late fto-ts iu the spring, lie fore sowing, the seed should be soaked in a strong -. ''..ti- u uf blue-stone and salt peire; and if a ijiiatuity uf common salt be added it will be found belief! -ia! ; and while soaking, the light and defective train as they rise to the surface, should be removed as cart fully a" p issible. The si cd may be permitted, to remain in the solution for sev eral days, witli safety, if circumstances re- 1 quire it. It should then be sow n, at tin rate of three pecks or one bushel per cte ; more than that quantity ought not to be sown, unless the ground has Pet ti highly manured, or the time of sowing is late. This allows it ample space to tiller, and being sown early it has time to do so. Alter the seed is thus sow n, it should he covered by p-i---uojj pood v tjijvv 'a.qwi (." y aii ja.vo Tins toothed two-horse harrow ; and it this opera tion be fodoweu Willi a good rotu r, it w.vjtd leave the ground iu a tiil better condition. 4. The best method of preventing injury from tiie fly, ru-t or smut. I have le-vtr had my crop .-eiiou-iy injured by either of these, an I 1 attribute my exemption from it, in the lirst place to the fact, thai I have aiwavs sown the Mediterranean win at, which according t- my experience is lc-s li able than most other kinds to injury from (ither of these causes. Its exemption 1 run the ily may bo accounted lor by l lie fact, 'bat it vvhl bear ti be sown earlier than some other kin Is, an 1 then its luxuriant grow th, :' .ml the comparative hirdue-s of the lower pottiou ol its stalk, secures it from the ravages of that insect. I have never been injure, 1 by t ithel rust or smut, since I have sown this wheat, and I was di-posed ti atttibute my exemption from these, principal! V to the fact, that it Was' le-s liable tothce disea-es, than other vari-' ities; and I am still di-posed lo think that' it is owing in part to that cause. Uui I am n "w iue'iini'd lo think, from facts th it I have been stated, that early sowing, is a prevru-, live of the rust, a sit enables tiie crop 1 1 ma ture before the sea-on most favorable for di-ease nrri'-vn. 1" reference to the smut, 1 met with the following statement respecting its ea use and cure, given by a torre-paiul-l t ut of the lienoss.'C Farmer, which seems to. iK, philosophical and true, and accords with my own observation, lie says, I ' I formerly harvested tny wheat very 'green, or in other words before it wis fully I ipe, ami made u-e of the same for seed, and from that seed, I always rai-ed ph idi ot' , -mut. At length my ' bump of cau-ality ' whi-peiid tome, you cut your seed v In at too green, ami from that tune, I have se lected the pint of my wheat field that ripens the t ven, --t. and 1, t it-t.iiid in the 11, id un til it is ilea l ripe, and until the. heads are wt atlit r-beateu, and 1 have rai-ud no smut since I foilov.ed this rule. Son," -. a-ons my wheal iloc-s not rip'-ti i-ven, and il I tin I a green head when I am cutting irv -e.-d wheat, I throw it out, fir I am fully of the opinion that a -mall unripe grain of wheat, if it vegetates at all, wiif hriiig smat. Such a grain contains but a very small particle of vitality, and the solution of salt, itrnd, or lime Sviil sometimes de-trl'y that vilaifty so that the grain does not vegetate ; and here is where farmers an mistaken, they suppo-e they i!--tioy the smut, when, in fact, il is the Ulirijc, sickly grain which they destroy. I say again lo my brother farmer-, try it and my word for it, you will not be sony for it.'' L pon reading this Matcim nt, I bceame-sati.-lied that I owed Iuy exemption Ir on smut, chiefly to the fact, tiiat I have invari ably soaked ley seed iu a .solution ol blue stone and salt-petre, sometimes adding com mon salt, and while soaking I have always carefully taken oil' all the light (.iaii:- a thcy ro e to the surface. And t j lite a iiii tioi.al fact that, I Usually pern it my w h at to become fully ripe before cutting it. And I am .-till more lii-po-ed to adopt the opin ion of the IJenessi ti farmer, from the I i t, which I suppoc you all relnt lulo r, that lh crop of 1 -.j.l was generally i. lit i-ti -f b th" rust, so much so, as in many ci-r.-, to be almo t entirely untitled for making flour ; and y.jii will ai-o remember that there was a very gciural complaint of too pn-v aleiie.. of siir.it iu the ci.jp of It. "I which was ju-t wii.it mi, l,t have Ueii t-xp. eted, as the grain of l'-oO was nearly ail light und im perfect, aud that according to the princi ple alove stated, the very kind of s I which is &:mo-l certain to prxiuoe smut. My own crop of l-.'in u uot injured l-y the ru-t, and in 1 "01 it was equally free li .on tiie smut. I will otily add finally, that while we iu tlti- region been iu tun hat ii of -j ,v ing o-ir w h'-ut Lioad cast the practice of dril ling has been extensively adopted in otio-r wheat growing sections ; and iroui the facts vliieh I have -ecu -tali.,! iti regard t that mtth I, it w oni 1 app, ai that it- t ff, i t i- t i iiicica e ! tr,t ly th.- ane-ai t of p: o i ii n. And such improvements in th . : i -1 r . . t ; oi ot farming utensils have recently be, ti made, Inat it is sai l b 'til seed and manure cat. 1 e ilriik-d in ami cover d .it the same lii.iij by olio operation, iu as liule. if ut ! --, nine, than we consume iu seeding broad-e.i t. Another fact may a'-o be stated n, this connexion. Iu Fnuiand, wiieie i i i - ciiiuat" is much less favorable, to vv!,,.at than with us, tin y y..t succeed iu producing lioni if I to 5U bushels per acre ; and, to do this, tin y do not sow or drill, but lite rally plant their wiie.it by means- of a dibble, hiding that plan pH-fejable to either of ti thet-. That plan, li iWcVer, could only be pra. t: i iua country like Kngland, w here ! i'i o- i cxcve'liiigly cheap and abundant. It might be well for us however, to try the ex- ', li- mi nt of drilling. I am di po-ed to believe, that if we would prepare our soil and seed prop oh , at the proper time, and in the prop, r manner and apply judiciously tl.e appropi iate ma ll ire-, we could as , asily produ-c li .'ol to on bit hels per acre, as wo now i! t in or 1 And now, when under the infim-rie.' of the spirit of mo it rti progress, a sure and ready market for all the varied products of the s i i. is placed in our inid-t, we t'.ini; it i- high time that the farmers of Old Me k b nburg. iti-te-ie of turning ti.-t invi-tu t'iv far distant South-West, for the purpose of seeling a new- home, bh -t with more genial skit and more fertile soil, should awake fully 1 1 the advantages of this location, and, by availing themselves of the aids which s -ict.ee and experience have plaeed within oar ri ach. make their native county, what it might be, and what it ought to bo, as dis tinguished for its systematic and success!' il Agriculture, as it is in the ami ai- of the country for its dc-voti u to the cause' of civil and religious freedom. 11. li.
