WHEAT AND ITS CULTURE. At a meeting of the Farmer's Social Club of Montgomery county, Pa., the following account of the proceedings was reported for the Germantown Telegraph, and will be found very interesting, as embracing the views of practical farmers on the subject of wheat and its culture: The Secretary was appointed to opeu the subject, who thought that a majority of our farmers were too careless in selecting their seed wheat; while many of them took partic ular care in selecting and keeping their seed corn, they seem to forget that the same rules would apply just as well to wheat, llis plan was to select his seed wheat in the field before cutting; he usually picked out about an acre, and allowed it to stand until fully ripe, and then cut and hauled it direct to the barn; he usually went through it once before it was too ripe, for the purpose of removing any stalks of rye or cockle which might chance to grow. His acre usually produced about twenty-five bushels. This he ran through the fan twice to remove the chaff, and then through a third time, with the fan running at a high rate of speed, in order to blow out the light grains. By this practice he usually reduced his twen ty-five bushels, each of sixty two pounds, to twenty, each sixty-four pounds. This is enough to put in from ten to twelve acres, he used for seed. The light wheat thrown over was again thrown into the piie uud taken to the mill and ground for home use. lie drill ed in his seed at the rate of one bushel and one peck per acre, and was of opinion that a majority of our farmers usecKoo much seed. He had found that one grain of wheat, in common field culture, would produce four or five stalks if rcom was afforded it to Bpread, hence his opinion as to the amount of seed. Iu good garden soil he had produced twelve stalks to one grain, and each stalk produced a good sized head of grain. lie always rolls his wheat fields in the spring, as soon as the ground is dry enough, in order to press back and cover any roots which may have been thrown out by the frost. Thinks this opera tion of great benefit to the growth of the clover seed, which is sown just previous to the rolling. Another member also brought his seed wheat into the baru with the other, but saved more than one acre. In order to get the seed he threshed the sheaves for a short time with a common flail, this removed only the ripest and heaviest grains. By this plan he had no difficulty in obtaining seed which would weigh sixty-three pounds per bushel from the bulk of his crop, which averaged but sixty one ponnds per bushel. He very seldom used so much seed as a bushel and a peck, often one half peck less. Does not roll his wheat field in the fall, as he thinks the ridges left by the drill should moulder down ou the wheat by the action of the frost during the winter. Always cuts his wheat some ten days before it is fully ripe, and then with a reaper which deposits it in the proper sized bundles for sheaves. One year he tried sep arating the lighter grains from his seed by the use of brine, but did not like it as well as bis present plan, which was more economical. Had tried plowing twice for wheat, but did not think it of much benefit to the wheat, but was very beneficial to the ensuing crops nf grass. The next member who delivered his opin ion joined farms with the last one, and follow ed the same plan in selecting his seed, but used rather more to the acre, say a bushel and twelve quarts. Had tried several home made and bought manures to help out his manure pile, but found that common salt and lime gave him the greater benefit at the least expenditure of capital. He mixed five bush els of coarse salt with ten of air slacked lime three months before it was needed, and during this time turned it three times; sowed it broad cast before the last harrowing, at the rate of three bushels per acre. If he had not barnyard manure enough, he preferred to spread it over the whole field, and apply the lime and salt mixture before the wheat was drilled, and over all the field. He considers common salt as an excellent top.dressing for wheat on his land, but cai. >ot speak for other soils. He has sowed five bushels of common plaster instead of the ten bushels of air slack ed lime, and thinks the effect was about tbe same in both cases. He has used salt for va rious crops not now under consideration with like success, but would not recommend it for all soils. Another member bad experimented in the manner of applying barn-yard manure to wheat, and reported the result as follows; His usual plan ig to plow twice, but year bo fore last he was pushed for time and short of help, and not expecting to have lime to plow twice, he hauled out hi 3 manure and spread it on the oat stubble in the usual manner, and plowed it under to the depth of about eight in-ches. After the field was all plowed, finding that he had some spare time, he set his man and to plowing aportion labout two acres) a second time, which was done about an inch deeper than tne first plowing. The manure of the two acres was, when it was applied, in the state in which manure usuully comes out of the yard in the spring, and had been plowed under about two weeks before the commencement of tbe second plowing. The manure was not in the way of the second plowing, and there was uo more left upon the surface than upon the rest of the field where it was plowed but once. During the spring and summer the wheat upon the part of the field twice plowed looked better and of a darker green, and at harvest lime yielded the heaviest and best filled wheat. The grass on the two acres is quite as good as the other, but to all present appearances the artificial grasses (clover and timo thy) will be crowded out by the natural growth sooner on the two acres than on the rest of the field. He had tried plowing the manure of the same field under at different depths, of six, seven, nine, and ten inches, and found his best plan to plow down his stubble to the depth of nine or ten inches (his surface soil is about eleven to twelve inches thick,(then haul out and spread the manure, and after pressing it down with a heavy roller, turn it under-to the depth of but five or six inches. He has raised fine weatby sowing his seed on the manure and plowing it under as above. Had also tried spreading the manure upon the surface after the wheat was drilled in, and could not perceive any difference in effect. One season his finest wheat was about a half acre, for which he had not barn-yard manure, and instead covered the ground after the wheat was sown with a thin layer of dry wheat straw; on this patch the wheat was heaviest, and withstood the bad effect of a dry season much better thau the rest of the field. The grass seed took better on the half acre than on the balance of the field, but did not yield as good crops of hay and was sooner i driven out by the natuial ones. Since then lie always manures a small patch of rye (sown for the straw) in this manner, aad thinks the straw of the rye is better for his purpose (tying corn-fodder) then if he had used barn yard manure. The President thought that many of our practical farmers sowed too little grass seed with their wheut to insure a good crop of grass; the usual amount is four of timothy and about the same of clover; he usually sowed four of timothy and aboutseven oreight of clover, and -had always a good crop of clover for mowing the first year after wheat; he thought this extra clover seed enabled him to cut at least half a ton more hay to the acre. His plan was to sow timothy before the drill when putting iu wheat and sow the clover in the spring when the ground was freezing at night and thawing during the day, say, about the first of March, or the first week in March. "You area queer chicken! as the hen said when she hatched out a duck. "MB. SMITHEBS, how can you sleep so? The sun has been up for two hours." "\Y ell, what if it has ;hic!) He goes to bed at dark, while I don't go till after (hie!) midnight." A SHARP old gentleman traveling out west, got a seat beside his wife in a crowded car, by requesting the young man who sat by her to "please watch that woman while he went in. to another car, as she had fits. ' A Don HMAX and his wife were travelling; they sat down by the road exceedingly fa tigued. The wife sighed, "I wish I was in heaven!" The husband replied, "I wish I was at the tavern!" "Oh, you old rogue," says she. "you always want to be in the best place." A RWTU'H FESTIVAL was given in New Jersey the other day, the guests of which were served by pretty girls and boys, who sold the bill of fare at five cents each. Here is a sample of the bill: egetables —Soft corn, can't be beet, waiting for something to turnup, eighteen carrots (fine,) Johnbonion, peas (and plenty.) Eutrees —A Michi-gan der (with sauce,) youra goose (sauce lor goose is ditto or gander,) plucked pigeon (a la Wall street,) decoy duck, spare rib (for bachelors.) backbone of the rebellion, cold." A CORRESPONDENT from Jasper, Tennessee, writes that during Bragg's retreat from Middle Tennessee, two rebel soldiers stopped at the house of Mr.K —,and one of them proposed a trade for a very fine horse, but thought that a large white spot on the horses forehead les sened his value somewhat. "Why so?" "Because," said the soldier, "the Yankees can see it a great way off." "Never mind that," said his companion ; ll toiher end is always toward the Yankees!" TROD UroN His TOES. —Last night at the theatre: a gentlemau felt the pressure of two little fairy feet upon his patent leathers. At first the sensation was delightful. It made inexpressible delightful thrills pass through his body; but these sensations wore away, and the pressure began to feel the least bit uncomfortable. "Madame!" he gently suggested. "You are standing on my feet!" "Your feet sir!" "Yes madam." "Goodness! I beg your pardon, sir, I thought I was a standing on a block of wood —they are quite large sir!" "Quite —but you covered 'em, madam." —l'fihole Record." Ax EXGLISH PAPER relates the following: "A letter from the wilds of Cheshire was re ceived one morning, having the simple super scription, 'For moi Son, London.' After passing through a succession of hands, it was at length duly deposited, along with a thou sand other letters, at a left-till-called-foroffice there to await the chapter of accidents. A few days afterwards a simple-looking country man presented himself, and inquired, 'Han yo gotten a lettur for me fra moi feythur ?" A titter, a whisper, a significant nod of the bead on the part of more than one official, then a rummage amongst ihe pigeon holes, and 'feythur's letter was found and handed to the son, who looked upon the whole pro. cceding quite as a matter of course. THE following note from "Mark Twain,' concerning "Gideon's Band," appears in the Washington Chronicle: "Mr. Editor: I see it stated that the staunch old salt, Mr. Gideon Wells, is going to rally to the protection of the President with his four hundred marines. Do you know if that party is entirely made up? I would like very much to belong to Gideon's Band. Here's iny heart and here's my hand. I want to rally to the rescue a little. lam competent. I have been to Bea a good deal, and have seen some service as a boarder on shore: besides, I have some entertaining stories to relate, which I have never got anybody to believe yet, and I wish to telj them to these marines. "We can gain til., victory in t.liia enter prise. fn the old times there were only three hundred noble Democrats in Gideon's Band, and they triumphed. Every Democrat took a horn. Every Democrat carried his own jug. Just arm us four hundred modern Democrats as we have been armed for three thousand years; give us a jug apiece aud sound the tocsin of war. Avast ! Ahoy ! Away for Gideon's Baud! "Mark Twain." "MAY it please the court," said a lawyer before a Dutch judge, "this is a case of the gicatest importance, while the American ea gle, whose sleepless eye watches the welfare of this mighty republic, and whose wings ex. tend from the Alleghanics to the rocky chain of the west, rejoicing in his pride of place— "Shtop dare! shtop I say! Vat has dis suit to do mit eagles. It has nothing to do mit the wild bird; it is yen sheep!" said the jus tice. "That is true, your honor: but my client has rights " ''Your client has no right to de eagle." "Ofcourse not; but the law of language—" "Votcarel for de laws of language, eh? I understand de laws of de State, and dat is enough for me." "Well, then, my client the defendant in this case, is charged with stealing sheep aud—" "Dat will do ! dat will do ! Your gliaut is charged mit stealing a sheep. Dat is shust nine dollars. The court will adjourn." I And it did adjourn, for the justice was not a reßpcctor of legal rights, nor legal quibbles.
