winch was two leet, yielded at one cutting 52 lbs.
ol green hay, which when dried weighed do lbs.;
and consequently, that an acre of ground, filled
with mots equally produclive, would yield more
Ilian 270 tons of hay. However exorbitant these
accounts may appear at first, the high standing of
these gentlemen leaves no room to doubt their ac
curacy. My own experiments induce me to be
lieve, that under circumstances, in all regards fa
vorable. they may he realized.
Of the immense value of this grass to us, in a
hot climate, and on a sandy soil, no doubts' can
exist.
I have ascertained the following facts, with cer
tainty: That il grows spontaneously and luxu
riantly in our country, on alluvial bottom, and
rotten limo stone lands. I have planted it in a
poor sandy loam on a clay foundation, (such as is
the general quality of the stiff' pine lands of our
country,) and on a sand hill, originally as barren
and as arid as the deserts of Arabia. These soils
well manured, produce it abundantly. Even the
long drought of !«32, (which, with me, continued
from 23d May to 1st August, with the exception
III' one slight rain on the Bill of July,) did not
materially affect its growth. It may he cut as
early as the 1st of May, and the culling repeated
every thirty days, until frost. It ought to he
planted in drills three feet apart, and two feet
space between the roots. An acre will then con
tain 7,350 roots. A single root, of the second
year’s growth, (on the diy sand hill,) at three cut
tings, lias this year already yielded 7 A lbs. of green
sand hill, well manured, would yield 55 ton’s ol
green hay, equal to about I« tons of cured hay.
of a quality us good as the best blade fodder.
In January last, I drilled some seed in drills
two feet apart, with seed dropped at intervals of
six inches, intended for transplanting next Fall.
The whole ground is now covered with a mass of
grass 24 feet high. On the loth of this month J
cut and weighed tlie product of one drill 85 feet
long. It yielded 25 lbs. of green hay, which,
when cured, produced 8 lbs. of delightful forage!
At this rale, an acre would yield 15,750 lbs. of
green hay at one cutting, 'it may yet be cut
three times more, and consequently, the product
would he 03,000 lbs. ol'green hay, from seed planted
in January last. The product of old roots is
from two to three fold. These seeds are planted
un pine land, with a poor sandy loam on the sur
face, with a clay foundation—well manured. I
have not made any experiment with this grass, on
any other soils than those above specified, hut I
know it grows much more luxuriantly on alluvial
bottom, and rotten lime stone lands.
Mr. Magoffin is certainly mistaken, when he
supposes this grass is found indigenous, nn/i/ in
the western prairies. He furnished me with a
few seeds ol his own 'raising. I also procured
some from Mr. Ellison, of South Carolina, which
grew in Fairfield District, and some from Gen.
Owen, which grew spontaneously on his planta
tion in Bladen county in this State, on the alluvi
al soil ol the Cape Fear.*
They are all planted near each other; and are,
unquestionably, tho same species ol grass.
There is not the least difference between that
found in this State, and that from South Caroli
na. That sent me by Mr. Magoffin, from Ala
bama, is a little different in eulour, being of a pale
hue, and of a little finer texture.
This grass is, without doubt, the *Tripsacum’
of botanists. In Elliot's Botany of South Caro
lina and Georgia, vol. 2d, page 522, two varieties
arc described :
“ 1st. Dactyloidcs—Hoot perennial—Stem 4
to 5 feet long—Leaves large, 3 feet long, 14 inch
es wide—Flowers, in terminal spikes—Spikes nu
merous—Very rare—have only socn it growing on
the margin of the Ogeechce river—Flowers from

Smut in Wliciili
A writer under tlie signature of FI. in I(i6 A) 3
bnny Argus, has given, in considerable detail, the
results of his experiments and observations id
support of aitribuiing smut to an insect. Thie
opinion needs more facts to support it. A writer
in the Maine Farmer entertains the idea that wheat
may become smutty through barn-yard manure,
into which smut has been cast. His method of
preventing stunt is very thorough washing of tho
wheat in water. From very smutty seed wheat
he has thus raised crops perfectly free from it—,
lie says, "Takeyour smutty wheat, and a couple
of tubs, a bucket, a sieve, and a quantity of slack
ed lime, or unleached ashes, lo a brook Or pool of
water; then take olf your coat, and roll up your
sleeves, farmer-like; put about half a bushel into
one tub, fill it with water, stir tlie wheat so thzfc
kUe.JSimtl^VUiy.. rite, and ..skim off Ihe smut feom
and been skimmed off, and then pour off the wa
ter. Wash the wheat in tl second and third wa
ter; rub it hard in your hands, so as to detach thd
particles of smut from the kernel, not doing at thd
halves by stirring it with a stick, as I have seed
some do; poor off ihe water, drain the wheat over
the sieve, empty the wheat into a spare tub, add
at tiro rate ol lour quarts of slacked lime, or d
peck of unleached ashes to the bushel, and your
wheat will be ready and lit to be sown. The tvheli
should not remain a long time in the ashes."
[Am. Plough-Bbyi
—tooooot—
The Wekvii..—Salt is said to be a complete
preventive against the destruction of wheat by thd
weevil. Mix a pint of salt with a barrel Of wheat,
put the grain in old salt barrels, and the Deevdl
will not attack it. in slacking wheat, fobr or fild
quarts of salt to every hundred sheave*, sprihklad
among them, will entirely secure them from thd
depredations of the insect, and render the Strew
more valuable as food for cattle.

Pleasures of A^ricnltnriei
The employments of agriculture, indepetidetit

the objects of arl can seldom afford. Theoccupa-
