“ Varlo Hates that tire Naked
Wheat is a native of Siberia, one
of the coldeil countries in the world,
covered with fnovr nine months in
the year. That is the chief fupport
of the inhabitants, and veger CS &
grows quick; the grain fmall, fuil
and hardy, with a thin (km—that
he afceit&incd its value—l 2 pounds
of Fnglifh wheat was made into a
loaf, the 1 kr quantity of Siberian,
and both bak'd together. The
E gi fh loaf weighed 151135, the Si
beria 1 Bibs, when baked, and both
equal in quantity. That the Six
nan produces only half the quanti
ty ©f bran, and as it partakes part
ly of barley in its nature, it makes
good Ale.
Thai when it fi and arrived in En
gland, he procured onlv half a wine
glafa full, intending to fow it in A
pril, but by miftake itwas not low
ed until the 71b of June, and it
yielded a good crop. Theenfuing
year he dibbled in each grain a toot
apart, in April, and yielded 2000
fold. That it exceeds any grain n>r
in Tcsfc, and grows better on bad
land—but yields better in proporti
on to its goodnefs. The proper
feafon tsfowit. is about the 10th of
April, (probably iftof May here)
headvifed ro plough deep, or even
totr.-n''h plough, that is, twice 111
the fame furrow—ro dibble in each
Teed with a fetri g (tick, a foot a
part; as it ftoois out greatly, and
injures the crop to fow Sr thick.—
That it coft onlv about 3s fir i ng
tin ar re in England, and will \ < quire
in this mode, onlv 12 quarts to an
acre. One man can cover two a
cres a dav with a rake—and graft
feed may be fow.o before the ground
is raked. There are two kinds of
wheat in Siberia.**
