B„, that farmer has ever been

r, of ham-yard manure Bave ever
!„ satisfied? Those whose re
sources are ample enough to supply
twenty tons per acre to then fields
once in five years would still like to
Wve more ; and farmers who can
baal out of their barn-yards 200
loads of well prepared manure dur
ing tbe last days ot August in each
year are very rarely met with.
the wheat crop is one that
Jll not stand very heavy fertilizing
w uh stimulating manures without
additional mineral fertilizers to
gtiffen the straw, and fill the berry.
Many a wheat-crop is laid or rusted,
and the farmer’s hopes blighted, by
vant of lime, salt, or phosphoric
acid in addition to the barn-yard
manure. There Is rarely danger of
too much of the latter, if proper
proportions of the former are used.
In proportion to the richness of the
g o ii in vegetable and animal matter
mineral manures are to be used.
When the soil is well filled with de-
composing vegetable matter, fifty
bushels of lime per acre may be
useJ with the best effect. This
should he drawn tresh from the 'kiln
after the last plowing, exposed in
6 mall heaps to the rain until finely
slacked, and -then immediately
spread evenly, and harrowed into
the soil. Its beneficial effect will
be in proportion to its fineness, and
tu the evenness with which it is
spread. If forty bushels per acre is
the quantity chosen, lines two rods
mart should be staked out both
ways across the field, and a bushel
footed at each intersection/Each
i l)a sbel will then when spread cover
four square rods or two rods square.
If less or more in proportion is to be
spread, the heaps should be less or
greater to suit. One rod each way
is a very convenient distance to
throw the lime from a shovel, and
this plan will be found as good as
any, if not the best. The effect of
lime is to stiffen the straw, produce
a hard, clear berry with a thin husk
which shells readily beneath the
niili-siones and thus produces a fin
er. whiter dour. An application ot
four bushels ot salt per acre in the
Spring has almost exactly the same
tfleet, but a great secondary advan
tage of the lime is, its beneficial effect
on the grass and clover. It is “the
on" thing needful” for them and the
ttt'-'d of the salt is only temporary
and to benefit the wheat. It is more
than questionable if superphosphate
of lime applied in the Fall pays ex-
I'oiim-s. Its effect is solely on the
trniui. and long before the opening
of the growing season in the Spring,-
the -"dub ility of this fertilizer is de
stroyed. Superphosphate lifts a hab
it ot '■going back” on the fahpier.
M" ( ting with lime or other alkaline
auces in the soil, the free phos
fhonc m id forms an insoluble com
l' 11 and, and thus “goes back” to its
estate, that of insoluble phos
-I‘hate of lime. Applied when the
*beat is well started in the Spring,
>ts effect is more apparent. The
mod of the wheat plant in
tl* fc l all is to get a vigorous growth,
"h'di shall enable it to withstand
changes of weather which is
fatal to a weak and sickly plant.
Superphosphate of lime not supply
lnS this present need, is not there
frre always profitably applied in tire
frail sowing. If sufficient barn-yard
Manure is not within reach, a sub
stitute may be found to some ex
tent in guano or some of the ammo-
C! acal manures, as flesh or blood
preparations, but without a fair al
lowance of stable manure wheat is
n °t likely to be a satisfactory crop
should be substituted.
choice of seed is one to be
jQnde with caution. It is not every
fit' wltite wheat
White wheat seeds * rich soil, veil
drained. On soils which are grav
elly, or inclined to loam, amber
wheats are to be preferred. Diehl
wheat bears a good reputation, and
a high price, and is probably the
safest of the white varieties. Tread*
well is an excellent amber wheat,
and may be ifelied upon as proof
against the midge. It produces a
choice flour, and yields well. On
the average run of soils the hardier
i red wheats will be found the safest
to sow. Whereat is thought expe
dient to make experiments in trying
new seeds, they should be made cau
tiously and with small quantities,
lest a whole crop might be lost by
failure. As wheat cannot mix when
different varieties are sown near
each other in the same field, a strip
of some new variety might very
1 profitably be sown each year as a
I test. In this way, if successful, a
stock of seed is procured, and if it
fails, but little harm is done.
The quantity of seed sown to the
acre should depend on the character
of the soil to a great extent. On
rich soil, able to produce a strong
plant, thin sowing should be the
rule. In an experiment made a few
years ago under exactly equal con
ditions, the writer raised thirty-five
bushels with five pecks of seed per
abre, twenty-five bushels with seven
pecks, and only fifteen bushelsjyith
ten pecks. The same result has
been reached by others and with
other grains. When sown thinly
the wheat plant “tillers,” or spreads
enormously. Thirty stalks have
been counted, and in some instances
many more, from a single root, each
having an ear, in places on the edge
of a field where this peculiarity of
the wheat plant had a favorable op
portunity to be developed.<T Botan-
Ically, the wheat plant (Triticum
vulgare) belongs to the same genus
ot grasses as the quack grass, (2H$-^
1 icum repens ) and possesses a some
i what similar habit of spreading
trom the root. This, ot course, is
encouraged by thin sowing, and
materially prevented by thick sow
ing. But it is only on strong, rich
soils that the plant will be so vigor
ous as to be able to throw out off
shoots, and therefore the thin sow
ing would fail on lands of a different
character. On poor lands (at least
comparatively) not less than two
bushels should be sown. On really
poor lands, (that is, on lands that
would not produce more than fifteen
bushels of corn or 1,500 pounds of
hay per acre,) wheat will be a most
unprofitable crop, and rye should be
sown instead. But any crop on
such lands is unprofitable, and the
owner of such a farm should at once
turn his attention toward improve
ment, as it will never pay to farm
land too poor to grow wheat.
Wheat is very often seriously
effected by a fungoid parasitic di
sease known as rust and smut.
Elsewhere the nature ot this fungus
is described. An effective remedy
against it is found in steeping the
seed. A saturated solution of com
mon salt, or stale urine, or a solution
of four ounces of blue vitriol to a
gallon of poured into a
shallow tub, large enough to hold a
bushel-basket. The seed wheat in
the basket is dipped into the liquid,
and retained in it for five minutes,
during which the grain is stirred.
It is then set aside to drain, so
that the waste steep may return to
the tub. It is then thrown upon
the barn floor, and ground plaster
or finely slacked lime is thrown up
on it, and the mass is stirred with a
shovel until dried. It should be
sown immediately. This process is
certain distraction to the spores or
germs of this injurious fungus.
