agricultural IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS. We extract the following article from the Salisbury, N. C. Watchman. “We have this day seen a machine for planting Cotton, which, we think, well mer its this notice. It was invented in Yance villc, N. C. bv two young men of the name of Miner & Phelps, who arc Carriage Makers, by trade ; and for which they have obtained a patent right. The merits of the machinery consists in its opening the fur row, sowing the Seed, and covering it, which we are informed and believe it does with more regularity than can possibly be done in the usual way, all in the same time and with as much ease as simply ploughing a furrow. It is so constructed as to be used for planting Corn, also—either in checks or drill. We are more pleased in seeing improve ments in the planting and agricultural world than any other department of busi ness ; and we would rejoice to see the qual ities of the above invention fully tested by the Rowan Planters. That it is an im provement in planting—and labor-saving, there can be no doubt; and we feel equal ly certain it will be generally taken into use by all who are not resolved to plod in the beaten tracks of their ancestors alone ; or, in other words, content “to do as our fathers done.” From the Farmer's Register. OLD WHEAT FOR SEED. In a recent conversation with Mr. Wil liam Skinner of Faquier, an old and expe rienced farmer, he mentioned that, for expe riment, he had sown a few bushels (from 4 to 10) of wheat of the previous year’s crop, in each of the three last seedings, and that he had found the product of the old wheat always much better than that of the new wheat sown adjoining. Indeed, he thought the increase to be not much short of 100 per cent. He could not assign any other reason for the superiority, except that by keeping the seed wheat a year longer than usual, the imperfect grains might lose their vitality, and leave nothing to grow except those ofthe best quality. We think this totally insufficient to produce the man ifest superiority which we are confident Mr. S. saw, whether he was or w'as not mistaken as to its amount. Rut the expe riment is worth repeating, and we hope it will be repeated by as many of our readers as can conveniently obtain old seed of good wheat. A year ago we heard stated, by a gen tleman of Cumberland, a still more re markable fact, which had been recently observed in that county. A farmer had sown a few bushels of old seed alongside, or perhaps between the sowing ofthe balance of his field with new seed. There was no difference between the adjoining parts, ex cept as to age ofthe seed. No experiment had been designed, nor was any difference expected ; but the result was that while the crop from the new seed was greatly in jured by the Hessian fly, that from the old seed escaped entirely. Our informant un derstood that there was no doubt ofthe ex istence of this remarkable difference ; but the result was that, while the corn from the new seed W'as greatly injured by the Hes sian fly, that from the old seed escaped en tirely. Our informant understood that there was no doubt of the existence of this remarkable difference, in the minds of all who saw its growth, and that every effort was making to obtain old seed to sow, for experiment, for the last crop. We begged to be informed of the results of these latter trials, but have heard nothing more on the subject; and thence infer that the hopes entertained have been disappointed. Ed. Fab.
