Grain growers are almost universally in the habit of rutting their crops early t. e. before the grain has become fully ripe. By this prtiee much is gained and noth ing lost. Wheat cut in the milk, or just after the pulp has acquired a etieky or doughey consistency, and left to ripen on the stalk, is preferable lot flour. w Early rutting, ays the " Western Farmer and Gardener," is tho p raetiee of the best wheat-raisers, whether the grain is needed for flour oj for seed. The grain fills out after it is rut, and the wheat in plump and heavy. Dead ripe seed keep better than tWe that are only jti.H ripe j but seed simply ripe will germinate sooner and stronger, than dead ripe seed.- Where one desirss to keep seed for long voyages, or for years, it should be ripened thoroughly. Where it is to be kept for few months from summer to spring, or from spring until autumn seeds are even better by being gathered full early. Nothing is probably added to the nutri tious property of seeds in the last stage of rpetiing. The changes which they un dergo ar those that will preserve their vitality. To cat, or gather before tho final elab oration of earbon, by which they are to be preserved", takes from the seed, then, nothing of its richness, nothing of its weight nothing but the quality ef long keeping for planting purpose." We have so often presented to the read ers of the Telegraph facte relative to the advantages of early cutting, of so decided a character, that no one can any longer question the advantages ef it. Ger. Td. The First Potatoes. We dug on the " Telegraph Farm," on the 11th of this month, (June) potatoes of this year's growth, of suitable size for cooking. They were planted on the 11th ef March, in a rather deep farrow, be tween good layers of horse manure, and notwithstanding the cold weather subse quent to that period, aud the heavy snows that covered the earth for several days at a time, the potatoes came up finely .soaneely one Biis-sinp, and are now of ample size for use, and the vines are well hung. Last year we planted on the 4th of March, and the fist dug was on the 18th of June, making a difference of eleven days in fa vor of the present season with all its back ward ness. The variety planted was- the Mercer; but buy ing them at a store in the neigh borhood at different periods, we found there was a full week, difference in their dificj-euca that is still appa- r.;iit at tlic writing of this article. The Inter growth came directly from the exst nr nr.rth-east. while tLo other was : the other was 01 , IVuusylvauia growth. i Now, wc should like to know who can 'j,eui ti,e "Telegraph Farm," in out-door cultivation?
