AGRICULTURAL. From the Carolina Planter. WINTER TREATMENT OF STOCK. Cold weather is approaching, and wo ought to look after our Stock. Are our Cattle fat and in fine condition, to live on their flesh until next grass ! Has not the wet summer kept them in the ordinary or rather low condition for them to start on the perilous journey through a cold winter ? Have we shelters to protect iheir “skin our part will repay us with profit and pleas urable feelings. Young Stock should especially have our watchful care—keep them in growing con dition through their first and second winter and they will amply repay us when they are older. The secret of attaining size in Cattle consists in keeping them well from their birth. Let any one who has Durham Calves notice the rapid growth while they are sucklings, compared with the falling oil’ when they are weaned, and he can easily understand the necessity for food of a proper quality for their support. Durhams are the fastest growers of all Cattle, where they gfet an abundance, but give them the ordi nary country treatment, and they will show it more than any other Stock on our planta tions. Our sheep and Hogs need less care, but rye pastures are needed for ewes and lambs —and sows witb'young pigs should have clean and well littered styes, with protec tion from cold rains, or they will soon de teriorate. The usual practice with plan ters is to keep more Stock than they can well take care of. hence all suffer and ma ny die, while a less number would do well on the same food which we have to supply. tHE NEW SPECIES OF WHEAT. Baltimore, Oct. 3, 1840. To the Editor of the American Fanner. Sir :—I think it proper to take the earli est occasion to notice the new species of wheat, a drawing of which has just been published in the American Farmer, and copied into the American and Patriot, ac companied by a letter from Mr. Read. I do this for thedouble purpose of saving mo ney and trouble to all concerned. The new species of wheat is, without doubt, the E gyptian wheat, Triticum compositum —for a drawing and a description of which, see Loudon’s Encyclopedia of Plants. The en graving in Loudon, and that in the Farmer, present the same characters precisely. Be sides 1 have often seen the Egyptian wheat, and the head of the new species which has been exhibited to me is identical with the Egyptian. This kind of wheat was intro duced into England in 1799, and from that time to the present has made frequent ap- pearances in the United States. It has been called successively the Egyp tian, Syrian, Many-spiked, Seven-licadcd, Reed, Wildgoosc Wheat, SfC. Spe. The name of “Wildgoosc,” was given to it from the fact that a few grains of it were found some years ago in the crop of a wildgoose that was killed on the shores of Lake Champlain. The name Reed wheat, was given to it because of its stout stem resem bling small reed, or cane. It was receiv ed by the Philadelphia Society for promo ting agriculture, in 1807, fromGen.-Arm strong, then our minister at Paris. Judge Peters took charge of a part of it, and grew of it five or six years. It was at first very productive under his cultivation 1 ; a pint of seed sown in drills and hoed, produced one bushel and a peck of-grain. But after the first thlee or fourycars, the Judge says it-did not thrive sufficient to authorize ex tensive cultivation. At that time it was extensively distributed by the above nam ed society. Judge Buel said he had seen extensive fields of it. In the Domestic En oyclopedia published in 1821, it is stated that the Egyptian wheat does not yield as much flour as any of the other kinds, and that the flour is scarcely superior to that obtained from the finest barley. In March 1838, it was selling in Albany, N. York, at five dollars per bushel. It has several times been brought from Santa Fe, by travellers and traders. It< appears to be cultivated in that country, pikibably owing to its better adaptation to thiclimate than any other kind. That the Osttge Indians might have obtained it from Santa Fe, is no way improbable. How it foufid its way from Egypt to Santa Fe, I caunpt pretend to guess, unless a wild goose also carried it from the former to the latter country; which on reflection is scarcely more improbable than the fact stated above that one ol these birds carried it to the shores of Lake Champlain. From all these facts it would appear that if the wheat in question has been adapted to our climate, it was susceptible of acclimation, and in other respects a good variety, it would have gone into general cultivation before this time, and 1 take it for granted that an arti cle that had been so extensively distribu ted and so thoroughly experimented upon would have been retained and universally cultivated, if it had been found valuable. During the twenty years of my agricultu ral experience it has been presented to my notice at least twenty times. Your obedient servant, Gideon B Smith. Rule for ascertaining the weight of Cattle, i Sheep and, Hogs. —ln the“ Cattle Keeper’s ■Guide” there is a short and easy method [given to find the weight of live stock, which [will be of considerable utility to breeders. Let the animal stand square, put a string just behind the shoulder-blade ; then put I the string on the tail so as to form a plumb line with the hinderpart of the buttocks; [ direct it along the back to the fore part of the shoulder-blade; take thedimensions on the rule as before, which is the length, and work the figures in the following manner; girth 0 ft. 4 in., length 5 ft. 3., which multi plied together make 33* square superficial lfeet; that again multiplied bv 23 (the nutn- Iber of pounds allowed to each superficial [foot, for an animal mesuring not less than ■live nor over eight feet in girth) makes 1766 lbs. Where the animal meaures less [than 9 and over 8 feet in girth, is the num- Ibcr of lbs. to each superficial foot. Again suppose a pig or any small beast should [measure 2 feet in girth and 2 feet long the [back, which multiplied hv 11, the number [of pounds allowed for each square foot, [when the measurement is less than three [feet in girth,makes 44 lbs. Suppose again |a calf, sheep or hog, should measure 4 ft. [6 in girth, and 3 ft. 9 in. in length, which [multiplied together make 164 feet, that [multiplied by 16, the number of pounds (allowed to animals measuring less than five feet and more than three in girth, makes 268 lbs. The weight of cattle, sheep and j hogs may be as exactly taken this way, as is at all necessary for any computation or valuation of stock, and will answer exactly to the four quarters sinking the offal; which every man if lie knows a few of the first rules of arithmetic and can get a bit of chalk, must bo made for a half-fatted beast of one pound in twenty, more than from a fat one; and from a cow that has had calves and is only half fat, two pounds in twenty be deducted. Prkservation of Cabbages. -The Alba ny Cultivator recommends the following method of preserving cabbages for winter use, as result of experience : “ The cabbages should be gathered be fore injury is done them by the severe fall frosts ; the heavy outside leaves should re main on the stalk. Fix a string or a cord round the stump, near the roots, suspended from the sleepers with the heads downward in a cool cellar, and they are ready and tit for use at all times. Cabbages kept in this manner retain all their peculiar flavor and sweetness; the whole virtue of the stump and leaves is concentrated in the part w’hich is used, are handy of access, occupy but little room which would be occupied for other purposes, and seldom if ever rot; the out-side leaves wilt and contract, and in time become quite dry, which forms a sort ofcoating thatserves to exclude the air from the inside of the head. Another method, practised by some, and highly recommended, is to cut the head from the stump, pack close in a sack taking care to fill up the vacances with dry chaff, thereby excluding the air and kept in a dry cellar.’ Cork wood cut in small particles has been found an excellent substitute for horse hair, in stuffing sofas, chairs, &c. The invention has been patented in England : it is used at a saving of two hundred per cent. We suppose that a man who uses a cork leg by day, can, if he wishes to be economi cal, make a bolster of it at night. CITATIONS.
