SEED WHEAT. *■ There is a question ant on " ,eat growers as to the quantity to be sown to the acre, intel ligent experienced grov ers miuntsun tliat thin seeding, wl‘ c^,cr ie ul< ' be rich or poor, wiU the largest crop. T* 1 ' 8 argument con veys the idea tH a t niore space, in rea son, produces more stooling, heavier and better g ra »b which, to us, seems reasonal^ e ’ an< l even if no better than thick > ee ding, possesses at least the jp.ei-it of saving grain already produced vhich is no very small matter. If one grain of wheat well spaced will thereby stool out a dozen heads, what is the sense of throwing away the Other eleven grains to produce the same result? Knowledge of the quan tity of the land ought to enable every farmer to determine the quantity to be seeded, bearing in t|ie capacity of the grain for stooling. A New Jersey correspondent has tried to his high satisfaction the expe riment of propagating sweet potatoes from the, vines saved during the win ter. In the fall, any time before frost, the vines may be cut in any length and placed in layers on the surface of the earth to the depth of twelve or eighteen inches. Cover the vines whilst damp with partially rotten straw to the depth of six inches, and cover the whole with a light soil about four inches deep. In this way the vines will keep during the winter, and in the spring will put out sprouts as the potato itself when bedded. The draws or sprouts can be planted first, and the vine itself can be cut up and used as we generally plant slips Indiana Farmer. Apples should be gathered rather early if they are expected to keep well. Place them in barrels or in heaps under the tree or in a shed, where they should remain till cold wvather in November or December, when the cellar will have cooled off ready for fruit. Attend to assorting properly. If you have never attended to it try this as an experiment. The same fruit, good or poor, will bring much more money when put up in separate packages. A Connecticut farmer estimates the value of turnips, as a food for milch cows, at twenty-five cents per bushel. He arrived at these figures by noting the diminished yield consequent upon leaving off the feed of turnips; the roots did not save hay, as quite as much was consumed with as without them, but the. turnips, as also sh wn by European experiments, wer an aid to the digestion of the hay nd similar fodder A British bee keeper lays it down as a rule that if the honey makers are seen flying in and out of the. hive on rainy ordamp days in autumn it is a sign that they are in a starving condi tion,andthe proper thing to feed them with is syrup made by boiling three pounds of lump sugar in two pounds of water. To cure a bone felon, take a pint of common soft-soap and stir in air slacked lime till it is of the consis tency of putty. Make a thimble of leather, or take the finger of a glove, fill it with this composition, then in sert the finger therein, and the cure is certain. Simple remedies are frequently the best for headache. A cup of sour milk spread upon a thin cloth and ap plied to the head will many times give relief. Or. a mustard plaster on the back of the neck will often ease the pain. Lime eradicates the linger and toe disease in turnips, and gives greater soundness and more nutritive quali ties to the bulbs. Strewed over the young plants it will drive away the turnip fly. - - - < -w Small farms with good cultivation yield a better revenue than great es tates badly cultivated. It may per haps be better put by saying that every farm, large or small, should possess a good farmer. To produce good colored butter in the winter, feed cooked food with a lit le salt in it. A lump of rock salt should always be where the cows can have, access to it. A Mississippi farmer dashes cold water into the ears of choking cattle. This causes the animal to shake its head violently, and the muscular ac tion dislodges the obstruction. A medical paper says that allspice is a sovereign remedy for croup, cut ting the phlegm almost instantly and inducing free breathing. • » »-« Kerosene will soften boots or shoes which have been hardened by water, and will make them as pliable as new.

A person who kept a ferry on the I Potomac river, was fond of pompous I language ; and in common discourse used it to such a degree, that few ■ people understood the meaning.

Its compilation of the news by mail is the freshest of Ihe best, comprising everything of interest in tin* current newspaper literature of the day. IV. Its editorial department is full, bright and vivacious, and its paragraphs and opinion ■ are more widely quoted than those of any Southern journal. It dis cusses all questions of public interest, ami tom lies upon all current themes. V. ’Bill Arp,’ the most genial of humor ists, will continue to c<»ntiibute to its columns. ‘Old Si'and ‘lTicle Remus’ will work in their special fields, mid will fur nish fun both in prose stud verse.
