Wheat Sowing.
We hear many complaints of the total, or
partial failure of the wheat crop, in various
beet ions of the country. In some places it has
been winter killed, in others smitten by ru-t,
and in many ethers cut off by the insect. The
truth probably is, that, excepting destruction
by insects, there is about the same amount ol
injury received from these sources as occurs
evrry year. The business of collecting infor
mation from the wheat-growing districts is now
so systematized, that we hear much more of the
failures, than we were accustomed to, ten years
ago. Whole columns of reports are published
in the dnilv newspapers, and the s-tory of fail
ure in tifty counties of the Lnioti makes a great
impression. heat bus nevei been so ret tain
a crop as Indian corn It is a more captions
plant in its wants, and must have more care
ful attention. It demands a porous soil, rich
in vegetable matter, such as is found in the
newlv cleared lands of the West. In old lands
the ituchanicnl prrparation of Me soil is n matter ,
of prime importance. The more nearly you can |
make it like the virgin soil the better. If it be i
not already dry it should bo made so. The soil j
should be deeply stirred with a sub-soil plow to
let the rain pass down quickly, and to give air
to the roots of the plants. More wheat is
winter killed by stagnant water freezing around
the plants, than by any other cause. The deep !
stirring of the soil is also a help in Summer,
guarding the crop against drought. It the i
land is not underdrained it should he plowed
in narrow lands,with deep dead furrows to give
the water a chance to pa ss off into them.
Sow EARLY .—The experience of vvheat-srrow
er> is very uniformly in favor of early sowing.
The ooner it is put in after the first of this
month the better. The roots have time to get/
a strong hold of the soil and are net easily'
thrown out by the frost. >
SELECT VOIR SEED. —This may he done by/
threshing the bundles only partially. A few '
strokes uf the flail will knock out the plumpest
kernels. Some of the fanning mills have rid
dles for this purpose, running the smallest ker
nels through, and saving the large ones for
seed. Attention to this matter is of great im- \
portanee if you wish to keep tip the reputation j
of any given variety. The early red varieties,
snch as the pure Red Mediterranean are most
reliable against insect ravages.
I '.SB A PRIIX—If yon cultivate wheat in
nnv considerable quantity. It will soon pay
for itself in the saving it makes in the seed,
and in the larger yield per acre. If without
a drill, plow in the seed with a shallow fur
row.
M ANURES. —Do not he afraid of making the
land too rich. Wheat will not grow where
buckwheat and some other grains may yield a
tolerable crop. Barn yard manures are always
g.od and safe. Ashes, lime, plaster, and clover
turned in green will each and all pay, in cer
tain conditions of the soil As good wheat
ran lie grown now as ever, in the oldest part |
of the country, if cultivators will heed these |
suggestions—except where the insects happui i
to abound for the time being
MILES AM> IIIXMF.S. —If we would A*K the
youngest farmer on our list of subscribers,
•' What i a mule?" lie would reply at once j
that, hr is " a hybrid or cross between the 1
horse and the ass." And he would begin to
look at our ears, as if the asking so simple a
question indicated that we were ak:n to the last
named animal. Yet it is not certain that
everybody could answer our question ;nnd few
er still could tell us tbat there are two distinct
animals, both the progeny of the horse and ass,
one of which is, and the other is not, a mule.
The offspring of a male a>s and a female horse
is the genuine mnle. The offspring of a male
horse (stallion) and a female ass is a /mum.
The English word kiumt is d< rived from the
Latin verb himiin, to neigh, which was used
by the Romans to designate a point of differ
ence between the two animals, the hinny w cighs
while the mule brays. Nor i> this the only
difference. The general appearance of the
mule is like that of the ass, while the hinny
more resembles the horse ; and the temper of
the two is likewise different.
The hinny has a smaller and better shaped
head, flowing mane and tail, shorter hair, and
larger frame, legs and feet than the mule. The
hinny has also the voice of the horse.
Considering the wonderful endurance of the
mule, its comparative freed nn from disease,
and faculty of keeping in good condition on
the cheapest food, we wonder that this antuial
is not more commonly used at the North for
all kinds of farm and team-work. At the
South the mule is the common drudge. The
hinny is hardier than the horse, more patient,
and will bear harder usage, yet is inferior in
these respects to the ass and nude.
TriK FOOT OF A HORSE. —The human hand
his often been taken to illustrate Divine wis
dom —and very well. Rut have you ever ex
amined your horse's foot ! It is hardly less
curious, in its way. Its parts are somewhat
complicated, yet their design is simple and
obvious. The hoof is not, as it appears to the
careless eye, a mere solid lump of insensible
hone, fastened to the leg by a joint. It is
made up of a series of thin layers, or leaves of
horn, about five hundred nicely fitted to each
other and forming a lining to the foot itself.—
Tic i there are as many more layers belonging
to what is called the " coffin-bone," and fitted
into this. These are elastic. Take a quire of
paper, and insert the leaves, one by one, into
those of another quire, and yon will get some
idea of the arrangement of these several layers.
Now, the weight of the horse rests on as many
elastic springs as there arc layers in his four
feet—about four thousand—and all these is
contrived, not only for the easy conveyance of
the horse's own body, but of human bodies and
whatever burdens may be laid him.
HINTS. —As the pastures become short and
drv, your stock will betray symptoms of tinea
sincss. Some will pine, some will be ill-tem
pered, and some will become unruly. The way
to remedy this is to increase the supply of food.
This may be effected indirectly by selling off a
part of yonr stock ; it may be effected directly
by putting the animals into fresh pasture, or
by feeding oxtra food in vegetables, grain, or
meal, or by all these means combined. There
will be a great amount of food for stock this
fall. This may tempt many to try to keep too
much stock. Re on your guard against this.
GOOD wheat sown never changes to cheat
or lures; but "wild oats "sown in youth always
does -o.
I. x :\'bu*t;s always be soft words, with hard
argument.
