SEED WHEAT.— The Michigan Farmer well observes that " whatever may be the variety of seed that is selected, it is important that it should be exaiuiued and thoroughly cleuued before being sown. Most farmers are content- ' ed with the wheat which they have grown aud found to do well uu their farms for years; i but in many cases it has been fouud that a i change of seed is advantageous, and aids in ' securing enough advantage to the farmer who is enterprising enough to try it to repay him lor his trouble. This is the case, even where the same variety is grown. TbeSoulcs wheat for instance, has been grown ou the same farm from its own seed for a number of years. We believe, had the wheat grower takeu paius occasionally to have procured the seed for his opeuing or prairie land from districts where a stiffer soil prevailed, that the change would have been beneficial. Iu most cases where 6uch an experiment has beeu tried, tho result has been favorable, unless prevented by some occurrence of weather or iusect, that of course did not influence the actual growth of the plant." DITCHING WITH A PLOW.—A correspondent of the y. H. Journal of Agriculture says : "In the first place, I plow two furrows, and throw them out; this makes the ditch wide enough at the top. I then plow two more and throw them out. The ditch is then twelve or fifteen inches deep, aud one ox can no longer in it with the other on the surface I theu take a stout piece of timber, say five or six iucbes square (around stick would do as well,) and twelve or fifieeu feet long. 1 lay this across the ditch and hitch a yoke of oxen to each end, so that the timber serves as a long whiffletree, with the plow ehaiued in the mid dle; and as the ditch grows deeper, the chain is let out longer. In this way, there would bo no trouble in plowing six feet deep. The only difficult is in keeping the oxeu nearly abreast, as it is new work for them. But by taking light furrows at first, they soon learn. Alter runuiug the piow through two or three times, throw out the loose earth aud plow ugain." Ox THE W HEAT Ccor. —The oat crop having been removed, the farmer hastens to prepare the ground from- which it has been takeu for his wheat crop. The first operation lobe per formed on his oat-stubble ground is generally plowing ; after which it is harrowed and then marked out by furrows at proper distances, to guide iu spreading the burn-yard dung, which is hauled out and placed in heaps along the furrows, so that it may be easily spread. This being done, the ground should at the proper time be again plowed, harrowed and rolled, preparatory to receiving the seed. Some farmers plow but ouce, thinking it preferable to two plowiugs. When this is done, the ma nure is hauled out ou the oat stubble. This practice, however, is not to be recommended. There is a growing difference of opinion among practical men as to tho best mode of seeding wheat ; some advocate the drill, and others broadcast from the hand. The advan tage from the use of the drill is, that the seed is deposited more evenly, as some think, aud at a proper depth ; hut is this so ? Any oue who looks at the operation of the drill may see that the graiu is deposited thickly in the row and that between the rows we have a space of four or five inches, where there is no seed ; hence, though that part of the plant which is above ground has room for air and growth be tween the rows, the roots are too much crowd ed. Again, as in this vicinity, we sow grass aud clover seed with the wheat, as the best means of getting the grass crop, which is, to a degree, the permanent crop ; does the grass " take" as well among drilled wheat as where the wheat has beeu sown broadcast ? The wheat crop serves as a nurse or protector to the yonng grass and clover, sheltering them from drying wiuds, frost, aud hot sun. ISow, as the timothy grass 6eed is generally sowu iu the autumn, immediately after the wheat has been put in, it would seem that, in the space between the rows of wheat, the young and tender grass is more exposed to these injurious influences than among wheat sown broadcast, which grows eveuly (if well sown) over the surface, iu England, where the drilling sys tem was first practiced, the rows were suffi ciently far apart to admit of the hoe, aud the crop was cultivated. It is not usual there to sow grass with the wheat crop —uothing is is Buffered to grow but the crop itself. How far (if it ell) is the presence cf the grass and clover detrimental to the graiu crop? As regards the application of manure to whi at and other crops, is it not a fact that the most valuable portions of buru-yard manure, being salts, solaable in water, descend ? Is it not a fact that ammonia, about the loss of which by volatilization wo hear so much, though ex tremely volatile, does not escape into the air to any great exteut, but is largely absorbed aud condensed by the surface moisture, aud by porous bodies, such as earth, straw, and de caying matters,, on the surface 1 Chemical experiments show that moisture and ammonia have a powerful affinity for each other, and that porous bodies absorb ammonia largely.— When we consider these facts, and that the more permanent components of manure are in the shupe of soluble matters, which the water carries into the soil, is it unreasonable to doubt the propriety of plowing in bard yard manure deep. When it is desired, as is mostly the case, to set the wheat stubble with grass and clover, the timothy, which is in this vicinity preferred to all other grasses for hay, is sown in the au tumn, immediately after the seeding of grain •, and the usual course is to sow the clover seed early in the spring, just as the frost is about going out, or, if there should be a light layer ot suovv, to sow the seed on the suow ; aud thus, as the snow melts, aud the frost disap pears, the seed settles into the ground, and is ready to vegetate with the increasing warmth of the season. EARI.Y OR LATE SOWING. — The Canadian Agriculturist calls for the experience of its readers in regard to early and late sowing, and quotes an experiment made by Arthur Young, of England, at the close of the last century, in which early sown barley produced much more than that sowu at differant later periods the same spring. We would second tihe call for the experience of farmers on this' point. Many thing have to be taken into consideration : difference in variety, season, nature of the soil, etc., would vary the result ; but if farmers were more in the habit of keep ing a record of their operations, and would communicate the result to the agricultural journals, wc should soou obtain a mass of in formation on this and kindred subjects which ©a!d prove of great value JWscrUancous. !

A COMPOUND REMEDY, designed to be the most ef feetiinl Alterative that can be made, it is a con ci ntrated extract of Pura Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to atJord aa effective antidote lor the di-ca-e- Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted by those who Milter Irom Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove oi immense sei vice to this large class ot our afflicted tfcl low-citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of tbe worst cases to be found ot the following complaints i SCROFULA AMI SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, Emcftioxs j ani> ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCKES, I'IMPLKS, BLOTCHES, t TUMORS, SALT RHEUM. SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SY PHILITIC AFFECTIONS. MERCURIAL DISEASE. DROPSY, NEt'- R ALII I A OR Tic DOULOUREUX, OKUIKITY, DYSPEPSIA AEb INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE OR BT. AKTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole cl3s of complaints arising from IMPURITY OP THE BLOOD. This compound will bo found a great promoter of health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu mors wnich fester in the hlood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor- I ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid | ot this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance ol j eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural chauneis of the Ixidy by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever yon tind its impurities bursting through the skill in pimpled, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you litid it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is toul. and your Iceling* will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the gnu machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends, Rut tbe world has been egre giously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed for it. but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little oi the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anvtiiiiig else. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa- j pari 11a lor one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon tbe sick, for they not only contain little, if any Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Heuce, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sar-nparflia which j flood the market, until the name it-ell is Ju-tly de- j spised, and has become syuonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and in- | tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name I (com the load of obloquy wbidh rests upon it. Aud we ! think we have ground lor believing it has virtues w inch | are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to core.
