After acquainting himself with the soil on his farm, Mr, F. adopted the Pamon.evor fire field method of cultivating the land, flar ing a strong belief in the efficacy of deep ploughing, the sub-soil system was adopted, and the remilta are auch aa almost to stagger human credulity. , ' There haa never been found of guano oo the firm, and the only compost sed haa been an application of lime; and ffior -growing Heavy crop ploughing the sot under. The ailnptinn of sub-soil mode of eithivating the land, is to what Mr. F. attributes hi success. The entro cunt for manures, has net averaged a coat of over $300 in any given year.

WHEAT. llf.ltaiwrsdrfei.ul most importsnt in rfirsl economy is Ihe winter wheat. 'ITie kinds nf it are very numerous, and, in truih, there is scarce a limit to The dif ferences which climate, soil, and situation may produre. The characters which it thus acquires in die different conditions in which it is placed, a-e more or less permanent and important. The kinds are distinguished by a great varie ty of lical terms, derived from their respective qnalili'-s, their places of growth, and o'her circumstances." Wheal is of very general cultivation on all clauses of soils ; biit the soils best suited lo it, are those which are more or less clayey. So peculiar ia wheal suited lo the suffer souls, that they are familiarly termed whet-oil. The nils of the lighter class are the less suited to wheat ; and H is an error in practise 10 lorce the production of wheal on soils, and under circumstances, wtiK'h are better suited lo the production qfjhe other grains. Good wheat land ought, therefore, always lo possess a certain degree of consistence ; for although light soils composed chiefly of sand and grarel, will often produce wheat of good quality, yet rich heavy loams and strong clays, wilh a proper portion of sand, always yield that which is ihe weightiest in the bushel, and the most productive in the crop. If, along with a small quantily nf sand, il have about fifteen per rent, of lime, it may be classed among soils of the best quality for the production of this crop, provided it also eonr tains a sufficient portion of nu'ritive humut. or mould. Soils of this description are gene rally of a dark brown color, and work freely, in eonseqnence of the mix.tnre of lime which prevents them from being too adhesive. A general rule, applicable to all eases in which wheat 1 sown is, that the land shall be in the best condition lhal circumstances allow, with respect to tillage, cleanness and fertility. A wheat is the most valuable of the cereal grasses, so it requires greater care than ihe oth er to produre it. It it an error in practice, to sow wilh a grain crop, any land which is oat of outer; bnt thi error is greater and more hurtful in Ihe rase of wheal than of almost any other ffrain eroo. ...., L.! ihe. wheal tKpfnVJtitno further culture after it is committed to the earth, the soil intended fur its reception should he brought into as fine condition as possible.
