AGRIC ULTURAI.. From llic S. C. Temperance Advocate. OBis KRVAT lON S ON ‘['HE MAN AGEMENT OF WHEAT: BY JUDGE.o’NEALL. To the Newberry Agricultural Society : In discharge of the duty assigned to me, with other members, at the last meeting ot the Agricultural Society, 1 will, as well as I am able, put you in possession of all the information which 1 possess, on the subject of wheat. 1 have now for twenty-one years annually sowed a crop of wheat, and 1 have uniformly made some, although in two years that some was very little and very indifferent. Yet, on the whole 1 have gen erally made enough for the use of my fam ily, and I am persuaded that there are few farmers, who cannot do as well, and many who can do abundantly better. The attention should be first directed to the selection of seed. It is an old saying, that “ a change from sand is no change at all,” by which is meant, when you change your seed wheat, do not take from a sandy soil. A strong clay soil gives the best va- j rieties of wheat. For our climate, wheat from the North or West does not answer well: it is generally too late, and is more liable to the rust. If we could obtain wheat from the parallels of latitude in the old world, corresponding with ours, 1 think it would succeed admirably, trio too, wheat from the South and South-West of our own continent, will do well, and hence I have no doubt that the variety of Texian wheat introduced among us by our estimable cit izen, and enterprising and skilful farmer, John Wilson, will succeed admirably. Os j our own varieties, none have answered so well with me, as that which is known by the name of the Holland Wheat. It is a small vellow grain, and weighs uniformly I sixty pounds, and upwards to the bushel. I It ripens about a week earlier than our com mon winter wheat, and will stand longer after it is ripe. As it ripens, the field ex- [ liibits a most beautiful yellow golden an-j pearance : looking, as it is gently moved lit’ the wind, like a sea of molten gold. It is! not as liable to rust, blight or smut. I ob- 1 tabled it from John Holland, of Lawreus, j in the year 1833, when the wheat of the up- : per country, was entirely blighted and des troyed. He made from twenty acres, two hundred bushelsofnicely cleaned merchan- ; table wheat. I have sowed it every year .since. This year, and 1839, it was slight ly touched by the rust, bnt not so as to in jure it: in 1839, I found a little smut in it, : but not enough to compel us to wash it. The seed ought not only to be selected : from a good variety', but it should ba well j prepared for being sown. In the Ist place, it ! .should be thoroughly dried by the sun before j it is put up lor seed ; this prevents woa vels, and gives sound and healthy grains for vegetation. In the next place, sift the j seed carefully with a good sand sieve : this j will take out all the small immature grains, j In the third place, for twenty-hours before j y r ou sow it soak your seed in a preparation j of water saturated with about one pound of | blue stone to every five bushels of wheat, j Before you take out your seed wheat, I which will be found at the bottom of the j cask or tub, in which you soke it, skim oil'; the floating grains and trash. When I have j pursued this course, which was reeommen- j ded to me by my friend, John S. Carwilc, 1 | have escaped the smut. At least a bushel j of seed should bo sown to the acre. When i the ground is good, from one and a quarter ! to one and a halfbushels may be sown.— Wheat thus sown will make a greater yield and is not so liable to rust. This idea, 1 remember was suggested many years ago, by Mr. North, to the Farmer’s Society of Pendleton, and was enforced by such rea sons, as induced me to yield my assent to it fully. I wish that by some means, the Agricultural community could again have the opportunity of reading that valuable practical essay. More attention, I know, ought to be be stowed on the ground on which wheat is sown, than we generally do. Fallow land is best for wheat. Ifit is well broken up, and the wheat well put in with a shovel plough, and the ground made level and smooth with a barrow or roller, I think we should hear little complaint of the Hessian fly'. Few will however, for the present, take so much pains. Our Society is inten ded to encourage improvement, and I hope someone will try this suggestion. Wheat ought to be sown on clay soil, and never later than the first or second week in October: still earlier would, I think be bet ter. Twenty bushels ofCotton seed to eve ry acre will give to the crop a fine healthy, and vigorous state. I incline to think that a top dressing about the first of March, of about five bushels to the acre of slacked ashes would greatly improve the crop. I have never tried it on wheat, but I know that it is great benefit to cultivated grasses. The crop of wheat ought to be cut before it is dead ripe: it should stand two or three days in the field, in small shocks. If the weather is dry, it may then be housed safe ly. As soon as the crop is laid by, (about the middle of July,) the wheat should be thrashed out, cleaned, and well sunned One day’s sun is scarcely ever sufficient. Two successive days is generally enough. I take it up and put it away while hot from the sun ; ill the course of a few days after wards I commence to grind. In this wav 1 my flour at the end of a year is just as good ! as it was on the day it was ground. Good (lour can only’ be expected from good wheat in good condition. When that is the case a good mill, with good cloths, and a skilful miller, can make as good flour here, as can be made anywhere. Many persons ruin their flour bv desiring to have more than can be mad \ My falhor, whose long expe rience and skill in the rnanufuetureol flour is well known,states thut the followingought to be the results ofu well ground bushel of wheat weighing sixty pounds. One-tenth six lbs. must be deducted for toll, one-sixth ! ten lbs. for bran—nine pounds for midd lings and shorts, which will make an aggre [ gate of twenty-five pounds, leaving thirty | five pounds of flour. From which it ap ! pears, that a little less than six bushels, (say i five and a half,) will make a barrel of Hour j weighing one hundred and ninety-two I pounds neat. JOHN BELTON O’NEALL.

By this unex pected movement, the subscriber is deprived ol tiie means of completing the survey of the State, mi the original plan: if done at all, it must be at individual risk and exj cure. It is needless, perhaps, to represent to the cn j lightened citizens ol Georgia, that by following | out the plan so happily commenced in 1837, and ■ pursued with unremitting energy to the present, ! the State has been contributing her mite, hum- ! i bie as it may be on tiie part of tier agent, to tiie I I cause of general .science in our country, andthe < i advancement of intellectual improvement among | ! her citizens, in accordance with other States oi i i the Union. There is but one alternative, lntlie j ! present situation of the survey, the work must either be abandoned and the important informa- I tion obtained by four years investigation of the Geology of the" State, lost to her citizens, or the j subscriber must depend tor support, on iudivid- j ual patronage. He is determined to make an el- j fort tor the benefit and honor ot his adopted State, j to proceed with the survey. From former ex- I perience of the unbounded liberality and gene rous hospitality of his fellow citizens, in differ ent parts of tiie State, he is confident that, in making an appeal to their sympathy and patron age. it will not be made in vain. That a complete survey may be made, of the re- I maining counties of the State, and the whole j I consolidated and published for the information j land benefit of the citizens, public patronage is j j most respectfully solicited. A work of this kind, i j is much needed in Georgia, a State comprising j I an area of sixty thousand sqtiare miles, being destitute of a single correct Map, Geography, or history of the same. A majority of the citizens J must, from necessity, be unacquainted with the j rich mineral resources and agricultural capaci- I ties of the different sections. Favored as the | subscriber lias been, by four years labor, as j State Geologist, in different parts of the State, in collecting materials for a complete report of an Agricultural and Geological survey and Na tural History, he trusts that he shall be able to meet (lie approbation of his fellow citizens. The subscriber pledges his honor, that the proceeds arising from subscription for the work shall be appropriated to the completion of the survey of the remaining counties of the State, and that they shall be finished as they will be needed for publication.

PROSPECTUS. * encouraged by the generous patronage and hearty approval which has been extended to the.r Daily paper since its establishment, and which has already rendered it the second in point of cir culation in fiie city, propose to publish, on and after the 18th day of September, a Weekly edi tion, on a sheet of mammoth size, excluding all matter of local or transitory interest, and calcu lated mainly for Country circulation. Tiie Tribune —whether in its Daily or Week ly edition—will be what its name imports—an unflinching supporter of the People’s Rights and j Interests, in stern hostility to tiie errors of super ; ficial theorists, the influences of unjust and irn | perfect legislation, and the schemes and sophis- I tries of self-seeking demagogues. It will stren uously advocate the Protection of American Industry against the grasping and to us blight ing policy of European Governments, and the un equal competition which they force upon us, as also against the present depressing system of State Prison Labor ; it will advocate the resto ration of a sound and uniform National Cur rency ; and urge a discreet but determined pro secution of Internal Improvement. The Re ; trenchment, wherever practicable, of Govern : ment Expenditures and of Executive Patronage, will be zealously urged. In short, this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly advocate the Principles and Measures whicli the People approved in devolving on Whig Statesmen the conduct of their Government. But a small portion, however, of its columns will be devoted to purely Political discussions. The proceedings of Congress will be carefully recorded; the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence early and lucidly presented ; and whatever shall appear calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in any way subserve the great cause of Hu man Progress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happiness, will find a place in our columns. The Weekly Tribune will be published eve ry Saturday morning in Quarto form on a very large imperial sheet, (31 by 42 inches,) and af forded to Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS a year. Six copies will be forwarded a year for Ten Dollars, Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger number in the latter proportion. Pay ment in advance will be invariably required, and the paper stopped whenever the term of such payment expires. Subscriptions are respectfully solicited by GREELEY & McELRATH, 30 Ann-st.
