Kew Variety or Wheat
We have fereived from one o our cor
ri'.Hindent8, the following description of a
new variety (if wheat he ha cultivated for
two or three years. We have the promise
of some of this seed another season, it. ha v.
in all been engaged belore our applica
tion reached the crowrr :
! selected some stalks from my field of
new wheat, the past season, that measured
in h- ight, six feet, nine a half inches ; in
blmlt'8 were tven eighths of an inch wide,
by actual measurement, and ihe heads, in
cluding heard, eleven inches long, and
cuiilainirg as manv as 120 grains, which,
in point of si-, surplus anything of the
wheat kind, known in this section of the
country. I hate never Mwn any of ihls
wheat, early enough to rxose it io the st
uck of the fly, and can not, therefore, say
positively, whether or not, it is capable ol
resisting successfully, :l.e incursions o(
that great enrmy to the wheal growers. 1
will say, however, that, if vigor and
eirengih are any safeguard againnt the fly.
it is entirely impervious lo the at:acks ol
thiit foe.
In regard to its power of resisting rust,
I think the experience ol two consecutive
years, will justify me in saying that it is
nui at all liable to that disnsu r. I selected,
las'. In'l. thirteen acres, in Ihe middle ol
my fi- Id, iij'on which I seeded my new
win at, broadcast, plowed it in. atj har
rowrd on 1 p the lauds, to rulverine and
levil the same. On each side of this lot, I
seeded in the same manner, and almost the
eair.e time, two o-her varieties of wheal,
one of which, the" hardware," is a favo
rite beinled white w heat. The result was.
that both the old varieties were injured b

Learn to Cook well
We again propose, this advice to those
of our young lemale fiitnds who may
elm nee to look into this journal. There
need be no scruple on the ground that the
aim i notstfii iciitly high for a generous
and cultivated mind. To do wel! whatever
t becomes our doty to do at all, is an am
bition sufficiently elevated, for the highest
and most g'uted spirit. The care rf the

we all get t ran. -luted to a higher sphere ol

Nor is it necessary, in order to shun the

consist in producir the highest seasoned

ever simple or common it may be. There

Leached Aahee as a Itanttre
The value of leached ashes on dry soils,
and in dry seasons, as a manure for grain
and grass lands, has been conclusively
shown, in this and other countries by care
fully conducted experiments. Yet it seems
useful and necessary to "keep before the
people" such facts as are not fully under
stood and considered, we give some obser
vations drawn from experiments heretofore
published, for fear that this subject, in the
hurry of the season might otherwise be ne
glected and forgotten.
The German agriculturist. Albert, of
Rosz'an, gives a circumstantial account of
an experiment commenced in 1927, and
continued for five years. A dry sandy
soil,wbich hsd lain in grass for eight years,
was dressed with leached ashes, at the rale
of sixty-six bushels per acre. 'Itie soil was
first carefully turned under, then the ashes
hauled on and spread, and covered with a
plow about two inches deep ; remaining
in this condition six or seven weeks it was
again plowed three inches deep, so as to
bring up the ashes.and sowed to buckwheat.
A portion of the field, to which no ashes
were applied, was treated in the same
manner, so that the d (Terence might be
noted.
The cost of the application was 06.25
per aere. The increased product of ihe
first year was at the rale of five and a hall
tiusheU of buckwheat, with four hundiei
and seventy pounds of straw, estimated at
$4,05. The increased product of ihe seconi
year, when sown with rye, was six bushels
per acre.with six hundred pounds of straw,
estimated at f 4.S3- The increased product
of the third year, when in oats, was
ten and a half bushels, with five hundred
and fifty pounds of straw, estimated at f 3.
62 J. The fourth year the iucieased pro
duct, when in pasturage, was est invited at
$3 per acre. The fifth year it was again
own into rye, and l ha increased product
was four and a half bushels, with four bun
J red and seventy pounds straw, estimated
at $ ,(6 per acre. The value of the in
creased product is $20 ; and we have no
reason to suppose their effceta were ex
hausted whin the experiments c;t eonc'.u
ded. The estimates wer made by Mr.,
Wagner, the irans'aior, from the prices
paid at the time in this country, as also
was the cVt of the ashes and labor.
Unleachsd ashes produce a more pow
erful tlT c!, and hence a less quantity is
required. In the Albany Cultivator fr
1642. the result of an experiment is given,
on an old meadow, mowed nearly hnl f a
century of clay soil rocked wih all
kinds of grass, wheie strong a sites was r.
iilied, ai the rate of thirty-two 'ouahel an
acre, producing an increased product of
nearly one fourth of a ton, while the same
quantity of air-slaked lime produced no
heneficial result ; and two bushels clear,
dry row dung increased the product only
one hundred and four pounds and the
'he same quantity of borne manure but
sixteen pounds per acre.
In ihe first of these experiments, four
thousand four hundred and twenty-two
pounds of leached ashes were applied, pro
ducing, in five years, an increase of four
three hundred and forty. one pounds of
grain and straw, besides pasturage equiva
lent to at least a ton of hay. In the second,
about one ton of ashes increased the pro
duct, in one year, one-fourth that amount
of hay ; and in favorable seasons we
can not doubt that its effects would continne
for four years longer. So tha action of ash
es must be chemical in ita nature, giving
a capacity to appropriate other fertilizers.
which it does, perhaps, by imparting to
the soil its potash, which dissolves the sili
ca, or flint of the soil, producing silicate of
potash, which, according to Lie big is re
quired by all plants ol the grass kind, in
Is rce quantities.
un wet ground, it aaouid be boron in
mind that ashes produced no e fleet ; aud
in wet seasnns,the benefit is much leas than
in dry. (Rural New Yorker.

Mr. William Burdick, of Newport, R
I., while eating supper on Wednesday,
choked himself with a piece of beefsteak,
lie soon became sprechlrss, struggled vi
olently, and became first black and then
pale and perfectly lifeless. Medical aid
soon removed the obstruction, but the pulse
had ceased, and he was pronounced dead.
Artificial means of restoring life were re
sorted to cold water was dashed upon his
face artificial respiration was attempted,
and was bled freely. After the last had
been done consciousness was suddenly re
stored, he raised his head quickly, pointed
to his throat, and said " gone ! A fter the
overwhelming feeling cf suffocation and
impending death. Mr. Burdick had no re
collection of any painful sensation, or of
any of the circumstances which occurred,
until after he was bled. His case should
be a warning against too soon abandoning
efforts to restore life in similar iostanccs
of sudden death.
