WATSON Pittsfield, March 9, 1 3 12. “ 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.** Pittsfield Sun.
