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

"Dat will do ! dat will do ! Your gliaut is

I And it did adjourn, for the justice was not
a reßpcctor of legal rights, nor legal quibbles.
