|mw'i §jqart*t*i. The Midge, Fly, Weevil and Rust. Continued wheat cropping until the silrx is exhausted will produce soft, spongy stalks, that will partly invite the attack of fly and rust. It is far more liable to rust, and smut, and fiv, in some soils than in others. As tho alkalies and other fertilizing elements become exhausted, its crops of wheat not only become smaller, but the plants fail in constitutional vigor, anil are more liable to diseases, and to the attacks of parasitic plants and destructive insects. Defects in soil, and improper nutri tion, add to these disastrous results. Soils may have all the material necessary to produce a large crop of wheat, but for want of soluble to give it a hard, glossy stem, it will be unable to withstand wet, lodge down, rust, and give harbor to the midge ; and in September and May to the fly. From one hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds of soluble silica are required to glaze the stalks and kernels of an acre of wheat, and threp-fourtlis of it isrequir- i ed in the last sixty days of maturing. This | is the time the stalk acquires ils solidity and strength. But all the sand in the world will do no good, unless soluble or liquid, so that the plant can draw it up and use it. All alka line minerals, as potash, soda, I.me, magnesia, and ammonia, hasten the solution of the in soluble compounds of silica in the soil. Without some alkaline mineral a crop of wheat may be ' worthless for want of silica, although the crop grew in a heap of sand. 1 ntsl it is dissolved and made liquid,it is as foolish to expect wheat to use it, as it is to ofl'-r a cake of ice to a horse and tell him to drink In each case tlie ; appropriate substance is present, but not in a condition to be used. The first great cause of midge, fly, weevil, and rust, is a soil exhausted by wheat crop-, ping, so that there is not silica sufficient to harden the stem and seed. Tiic remedy, if there is sand or silica in the ear'h is alkaline minerals to render the sand soluble, so that [ the sand can be drawn up by the pores of the plant. As the fly operates in September, one remedy is to sow so late that the fly will be gone be- ■ fere the wheat comes tip. A> this will prevent the fly from depositing its egg in the fall, the crop will be free from them in the spring. If wliea* is sown from the Ist to the 10th of j October, there is little danger from the fly ; ! but it makes the growth so late that it opt | to winter kill, and be subject to rust. All varieties of wheat, if sown early, are liable to injury from the fly, and if to avoid this evil, sowing be delayed till late, the plants do not get sufficient root to stand the heaving of the frost and winter kill ; not being glazed earlv enough to avoid the rust season, in June, they are subject, to that evil, a-, well as the midge. As, iu sowing early to avoid the rust the wheat is liable to fly, and in sowing late to avoid the fly we subject it to rust, the great object should be to adopt some measure whereby we may avoid both. As unsound and unhealthy plants arc more subject to fly and rust than are healthy ones, the first object should be to get healthy plants. To insure healthy plants, we must have sound and healthy seed. Kernels broken in thresh ing, stung by the weevil, affected by the rust, or dwarfed, or shriveled by the injury of the fly to the stalk, should never be sown. We should have good land, possessing nat urally or supplied artificially with all the con stituents of the wheat crop. To insure such seed it should all bo put in water before it is sown, and what floats on the top is imperfect, and should be skimmed off.— If the kernel is stung, slirivele 1 or defective, the water ordeal will show it. What .sinks in the water is sound. It may, however, have the spores of smut or rust on it that will pro pagate and produce a crop of that curse. To prevent that, the seed that sink- to the bottom should lie steeped in lime-water, or sulphate of soda, or brine, then rolled in ; faster ; or if soaked in sulphate of soda or brine, roll it in lime recently slacked, puting a peck of recent ly-slacked lime to each bushel of wheat, and shovel it over till the seed is completely covered. It should be soaked to six hours.— This will kill the spores of the rust or smut, nnd produce healthy seed—which, with good land and good cultivation, will insure healthy plants. Another remedy is to get a variety cf wheat that can be sown so late as to avoid the fly in September, and that would ripen so early us to avoid the rnst in .June. The Mediterranean is some ten days earlier than any other variety, which u.-ually saves it from the rust. It will also hear to be sown later than any other variety.— [Ohio Farmer. Dmr.ixc. A WELL. — The month of August is usually the safest time to sink a well. The hot season has then generally dried up tho surface streams nid springs and left those which per colate deep and silent through the earth in their full and natural flow, and when reached they then scarcely fail to yield a permanent supply. Before digging the well, the stone or brick for walling it should be on the ground, and so placed as to be ready at a moment's notice for use, as we have known wells lost, from a sudden break of the earth or rock at the bottom and the rapid flowing in of the water, driving the laborers out, and filling up to a height even above the tools they wrought with. And so strong was the fountain, that they could not exhaust the water afterwards. Such cases do not often happen, we know, hut it is well to provide against them, and after water is found in fnll supply, the quicker the well is walled up the better.— [American Agri culturist, July. FALLING FRUlTS.— Already the apples, pears and plums arc beginning to drop abundantly from the trees. If you examine these, you will discover not a single sound specimen among them. They have fallen, not by the winds, but, quite likely, prematurely from disease.— Cut them open, and yon find either eggs, or grubs, already at work upon the substance of the fruit. Every one of these fruits is a pest house, to be immediately destroyed. It is good work for the boys to pick them up, and throw them into the pigstye, where they will l>e devoured, or rot among the fermenting manures. \\ r e are persuaded that the destruc tion caused by the cnrculio and by the grub that prey upon the apples and pears, is caused mainly, by the neglect of this simple precau tion. The fallen froit is suffered to lie upon the ground, and mature its progeny of insects. The next year they swarm in increasing num bers, and the farmer complains that there is something peculiar in his soil and climate ; he oanuot grow good fruit. The difficulty is in the man and not in his soil. Pick up tho ful leu fruit.— [Arntnm* AgrtcuU urist lulu illiscellaneons TO WANDA HARDWARE CUTLERY I HON AND STOVE STORE. fif I). C.
