AGRICULTURE.
Mrffrs. Printers,
AS the Crows are frequently veiytrou
bletome, by eati: g the Indian Corn after
it is planted, I wilh yon to publilh the
following very easy method to prevent it .:
-■ Difl'olve three quarters of a pound of
Salt-Petre in water enough to cover half
a bulhel as feed corn ; let it soak three
or four days; stir it carefully once or
twice each day, that all the corn may be
impregnated with it, and the Crows will
not visit the field more than once, and
then will eat but very little of if. It is
also of great service again 11 the Grub-
Worm, lo troublcfome in low ground.
And Meflrs. Pt,inters, let me also tt
commend planting Corn the beginning of
May, and if by a late fioft in the fpn'ng
it is killed, do not replant it, as it, wifl
sprout again, and before the fall tevover
its full growth,-and be as forwatd as if
the froft had not touched it. Many are
so fearful of a froft in the spring, as to
make it so late before they plant, that
the corn is often hurt by the froft in the
fall, which it can never recover.

AN ACCOUNT
, OF A
NEW SPECIES OF WHEAT.
THE history of forward winter wheat,
J.V 1 • TT- • . .
Caroline, of that ilate, about seven years
iaft, purcbafed of a merchant a quantity
' ~ mg fownit, when
his wheat was in flower, observed a finglt
ear, almoit ripe. Hence he conceived an
idea, that it might be a different species.
To determine this, he carefully preserved
the wheat produced by this fulitary ear,
which has now multiplied to such a degree,
as that several thousand bufhtls wiu be
produced at the next harvest, it having
been distributed into many hands.
But the charadtqr of this wheat deserves
greater attention. And as in all proba
bility, it has not yet entirely unfolded its
qualities, it is much to be desired, that
the best informed botanical knowledge,
and the moil accurate agricultural experi
ments, were united in its investigation.
The following observations, have, for
their basis several trials upon different foils,
made in the two lafl years; a term so short,
that it would be dangerous to allow
an unsuspicious reliance.
This wheat ripens from 15 to 20 days
earlier than any other; the It raw is shor
ter by about one third, than that of; any
other kind, and the fame proportion is
maintained in the length of the ear. But
the ear always possesses a foil and perma
nent appearance. The straw is encum
bered with very little fodder.
The circumstance of its ripening so
early, produces the following important
effects.
I ft. It is never deftroytd by the rush
An effect. towards which the nakedness
and lowlefs of the straw, by allowing more
freely the a&ion of the fun and air, must
considerably contribute. Upon this point,
the experiments appeared to be cbnclu
five.
The two last years were Angularly un
seasonable upon wheat in general, after it
was in the ear, where the experiments
were made, and mod so upon this particu
lar species. But this bid defiance to the
pestilence, and weighed above sixty pounds
to the bushel, whilst all others fuffered a
loss of about one third in quantity, an d
did npt in weight exceed an average of
fifty-five. The experiments were made
in fix different places. Upon new, old,
ftiff, light, poor and rich ground. And
the different forts of wheat were sown on
the fame day, immediately contiguous to
each other, early andfcpe.
