p tratitin of ground and seed f r the wheat limp,'
Was read Rail ordered for publivation It wit, Ali
interesting practical Instruction on that very
important subject :
New York, September 2, 1645
blv DEAR Feieso : Being engaged to attend
the meetiug ealled for this day in the town of
IGreenbiire, to form a • Farmers' Club' in that
town, in aerordanee with the constitution and
by-laws of the S'oetety of A grieulter.! and . llor•
ttculture of Westchester county, I shall not h e
able to attend the discussions of the New York
Farmers' Club on the subjects proposed at the
last meetine—• The preparation of the ground.
and seed for the wheat crops,' &c.
The wheat crop is so valuable, so intimate
ly connected with the. pritsperity of not only
the agricultural, but also the inanufarturing..
mechanical, and commercial interests of the
whole country, that we cannot be too well , in
formed On the subject. Land that has been
well 'coloured in a previously cultivated crop.
such as corn and potatoes, rs, with proper
ploughing and harrowing,very suitable for win
ter wheat. It is always best that the manure
should have been applied in the' previous crop,
particularly if it is rank or recently formed, or
your wheat will produce too. much straw. he
weak and fall down. There are few except
ions to this rule. Bone dust, oily fish. street
manure, &c., have often been applied at the
time of sowing. to secure a gond crop. A san
dy loam, with a good supply of calcareous
earth or lime, forms the best soil for wheat—
a certain amount of sand or silex, day,
and lime. being essential to secure a good crop.
When 1 say that the land should he thoroughly
plowed three or four times, and harrowed as
°lien. I am fully aware of what is the usual
praelire, and also of the loss sustained by only
one plowing and two harrowings. Ido not
apply these observations to land just cleared
from the forest, (though then, the more and bet
ter the plowing, the larger the crop.) or the
prairie sod just turned over'• but to the land in
all the old States, and all lands long touter cul
tivation. The object in plowing the ground
so much, is to turn under more etimpleietv at
mospheric air, which consists of nitrogen. oxy
gen, and carbonic acid, a thOrough mechanical
mixture of which with the--soil will insure a
great increase of crop ; it also acts as - a man
ure. The thorough pulverizing of the soil, so
as to make it finer, is secured in this way,
which renders it so notch better for the finer
roots in the early growth of the plant to get
well rooted before winter sets in, thus secur
ing it from being winter killed. also en
ables you to pasture your sheep and young eat
tle upon it in the fore . part of November with
out any fear of pulling it up. They secure it
front the Hessian fly by eating nff the larvw.
It is also very important to prepare the seed
properly : you should have the most plump
end clean seed that can be obtained. Six shill
ings or a dollar more per bushel for the best of
seed is no consideration, when the advantages
are taken into the account. In a barrel or half
hogshead. make a brine that will bear an egg.
from the old salt taken from your meat and
fish casks ; or if you have not saved this, ordi
nary fine or coarse salt, the former dissolving
much the soonest, and is generally preferred
for that reason. Put in one, two or three bush
els of wheat and mix well with the brine, and
skim off all the chess and other boil seed and
light wheat that rises to the top. There should
he brine enough to cover the wheat three inch
es deep. Stir up the wheat witli a stick occa
sionally, and let it remain in the brine three
or four hours. Some persons let it remain all
bight. I think there is some danger of swelling
the grain anti acting upon the farina too much
by leaving it so long in the brine, and there is
no real necessity for it. Draw edam brine in
to another cask, and lay the wheat on an oh
lique surface, so that the brine may draw off ;
then to every bushel of wheat add three or four
quarts of fine air-slacked lime, and take and
shovel it through every part. so that everY grain
is coated with the lime, and the seed as much
separated as possible from each other. (Slime
good farmers use more lime than the above.)—
If you have not lime. and cannot readily obtaid
it, use unleached wood ashes instead. Yon
must measure your wheat before you prepare
it, nr you will likely• when von sow it, put
less seed iti than is proper. You will also find
it difficult, from the increased hulk, to hold
enough each time in the haul. it is, therefore,
better to sow twice, and at right angles ; that
is, take rather less than usual in the band, and
when you have gone over the field, begin and
sow it over again in the same direction; (ac
ross the first sowing.) you will thus have it
more even, and secure eullicient seed, which. ,
is rarely the case. When you have taken pains
to prepare your land well, use plenty of good
seed—a virtue rarely practiced in this ram of
the world. The object gained by the above
'preparation of the seed is, first. you destroy all
the smut, which is a parasitical plant placed on
the furzy end of the grain ; also all the eggs of
insects, that frequently may be seen with a
glass on the same part of the grain. The salt
and lime also act as a manure to stimulate the
germ of the young plant, so as greatly to invig
orate it in the early stage of its growth. s
. PLOWINO IS GLOVER.—A Tong other ques
tions which ought to be (and may be) decided.
is that of relative advantage of plowing in or
pasturing clover. It seems to -be taken for
granted by many, that plowing in the clover
crop is more beneficial to the land. and 3 more
profitable coursethan feeding it off by animals.
But we do not think this point by any means
mkt:shed. In a late conversation with Mr.
Noble. of Massilon, Ohio, he observed that from
his own experience, he had been led to the con
clusion that a mach grdater profit could be de.
rived with pasturing clover with sheep, than
from plowing it in. He hail found the wheat
crop as good, or better where the clover was
pretty closely fed down by sheep, as where
that crop had been plowed under; the land in
both cases being similar, If this would be the
general result, the additional profits of the sheep
would make the case much in favor of pastur
age.
In a rate number of 'New Genesse Farmer,
• we find Mr. William Gaebuit. (a very judicious
farmer,) entertains similar ideas to those above
expressed. Mr. G. considers pasttlring clover
two years with sheep, more profitable to the
farmer; afore enriching to the soil, and . more
- beneficial to tlte wheat crop, than plowing it
under.
We would suagest to agricultural societies
the properiety of offering premiums for exper
meatc to test thie matt: r.
What .Causts - lhisty Hay.
Every fartner ha& probably observed that
sometimes, al tsz July has been in the barn fur a
time, on removing it, much dust arises from it.
and this. me, wheh it was apparently clP:In and
dry when it Wit.i pm into the mows. We have
never been satisfied in rt , ;ard to the cause of
this. , A - writer in the "Massachusetts Plough , :
man, nu the subject of Mak mg• barns tight by
etapAmarding or shingling Mein, thinks that.it
is injeurious to make theta tight, says that the
hayl mall become— dusty and smoky. when that
kept in more open barns will remain bright and
good, if it is secured in gond order. The editor
of the Pioughinao. enthirsec the opinion, and
observes that he' has known numerous in
stances of spoiled hay in consequence of light
loading."
Can any of our readers throw any light upon
the subject ! Does hay. when cut in good
seasons, Well made. and put into stacks ever
become dusty 1 Some attribute this dust to
the bisy being late cut, and to its accumulating
dust from the atmosphere wh , ch adheres to the
hay. II this were the case why does not the
dust show itself while getting the hay in, as
plentifully as afterwards'! If it he true that
tight barns are actually injurious to hay, it'
°unlit to be generally known : fur it would save
much expetisew hitch many incur with a belief
that it is best when they would not incur the
same if it is actually a damage to their fodder.
—Maine Farmer.
Strange that a farmer should ask such a
question. Hay 'th'at smokes when removed
from the mow, is imperfectly cured. There is
no exception to this ruse. except in the case
where the barn is open or leaky overhead, so
that the fermentation is produced by water let
into the hay on the mow. '%e say this not
as an editor, not as a lawyer, hut as one exper
imentally acquainted with haymaking,. and with
Itmeding it out. Any farmer who as passed
through the world thus far with his eyes open.
can tell why hay smokes. if it smokes at all.
when Yhrown Irons his scaffolds or stacks—for
la,my smacked nut is as liable to smoke as any
odo4, and perhaps more so. for time notion h a s
preval!ed that less curing was neresary in this
anode of storage.—Concord Freeman.
('ANA THISILE.--(Cqvlnus arvensi.i.)
This plant is widely spread in the northern part
of the state of New York and has been unroduc
ed into Pensylvania and many other parts of
the Muddle Stales, the seeds having been some
times mixed in timothy seed, and sotnettmes
entangled in the fleeces of sheep driven from
the North. The root of the Canada thistle is
perennial, creeping & tenacious of life, which,
witlitits prolific character, for it springs up from
the roots as well as from the seed, makes it
the vilest pest in the form of a weed that has
ever invaded American farms. It is a foreigner.
The utmost vigilance will be required to prevent
its spread wherever it may he discovered.
A great many • devires have been resorted
to for the eradication and destruction of the
Canada thistle. Some aim at the entire re
moval of the roots by means of extirpating
inarhines, contrive to cut off and harrow up
theroots. Others rely upon mowing the thisle
when they are in full bloom, as a most certain
method. Nut content with simply cutting
down, some apply common 'salt to the stems
or crowns of the-roots which makes the des
truction more sure. It is an admitted fart that
the life of trees and plants, when these are not
in the tiopid state in which they are enabled to
exist in winter, depends upon a function per-'
formed by their leaves. These are in fact
their lungs. deprived of the use of which for a
given time, (luring the season of their growth,
trees and plants inevitably die. Low and fre
quent cutting down in summer about the bloom
ing period. will doubtless destroy plants howev
er tenacious of life they mar be, since the roots
are as nitwit indebted for life to their leaves or
lungs as the leaves are the roots. Neither can
subsist long without tLe aid of,the other impor
tant members of the system.
PRESERVATION OF TOE TOMATO.-Mr. R. R.
Martel gives us toe following The tomato
which has came into universal use, and is
deemed a luxury by almost everyone. may be
preserved for winter use in the folowing maner :
When ripe, let them be prepared by stewing
as for the table, and seasoned to the liking; put
them in small jars (one quart) with .covers.—
Over the top put a piece of linen or cotton cloth.
which will cover. and press the cover on ; then
pour into the cavity malted mutton tallow, and
keep, them in a cool and dry place in. the cellar
until required for use. 1 They need only to be
warmed to serve them for the table. I use
small jars for the reason, that where exposed
to the air they soon ferment.—.3lbany ettlii

The Treasury of History,

By SAMUEL MAUNDER;
Author of the "'Treasury of Knowledge," " Biographi
cal Treasury," &c. including
THE HISTORY OF AMERICA,
'EDITED DT JOHN INMAN, 'Esq.
The republication of this valuable • work has been
undertaken partly on account of the high favor with
which it has been received in England, but chiefly in
consideration of its intrinsic value, arising from the
felicitous adoption of the .plan to a want that bas been
long and generally felt and from the judgment and
fidelity manifested in its execution. The idea of giv
ing in a single work, of no very formidable dimensions,
a sufficient outline A . the world's whole history, and
similar outlines of the history of every nation, is so
obvious, judicious and appropriate , as to require no
culogium. Every person who cares at all for the
acquisition of useful knowledge must desire to posess
such a general knowledge of past events, not only in his
own country but in all countries, as shall enable him
to understand the perpetually recurring allusions that are
found in.almost any course of general reading ; 'because,
for want of inch understanding there is. always a serious
diminution both of pleasure and profit even in the
perusal of such works as are designed chiefly for amuse
ment. For instance, most of Sir Walter Scott's novels
are founded upon history, and abound with reference to
historal events and personages, a want of some acquain
tance with which detracts seriodsly from the interest and
delight they arc so well qualified to awoken; and so of
most other works belonging to the better class of what
is ealled light literature. Bnt the difficulty hail been to
obtain this general knowledge without going through
many books, requiring a greater expenditure of time and
money than most persons are able or willing to rand;
and tonhviate such difficulty has been the purpos of Mr.
Maunder.

His plan has the merit of completeness, and is un
doubtedly the best that could have been desired. H.
gives first a general. sketch of ancient and modern his
tory—a rapid and comprehensive bird's-eye view, as it
were of the rise and progress of nations, the most im
portant incidents of their career, and their relations to
each other; and after this he takes up the nations
separately, furnishing a concise digest of all that is im
portant or desirable to know concerning each, and thus
affording a sort of key to the changes and events that
were more briefly indicated, rather by their results than
theri incidents, in the general sketch or ontline. Thus
the salient points of history are brouaht within a man
ageable compass ; and an excellent foundation is laid for
inure thorough and extensive reading in reference to
any portion of the world or any epech of which a com
plete knowledge may be desired.
In the execution of this plan the author has been very
successful. His notices of historical events,though brief,
are lucid and satisfactory; and be traces the connection
of effect and cause with singular acumen and generally
-with most commendable freedom from partiality or bias
thus supplying a very good idea of the philosophy of
history as well as of the facts Which history records.—
In a word, the work will be found invaluable to the ge
neral reader, and a very useful help to the student.
