A method to prevent Smut dama ging V/beat, with Joint remarks cn the culture cf the fame. I have found that three pecks of feed is fufheient for one acre, of ground of all kinds of oil and ftrengthi if more be Town on the acre, the flalks of a great number cf them will not grow to their full height, nor the ear to its proper size, nor kernel to its mil bigness, and the weight will be from two to five pounds less in the bushel. I am sensible many farmers will oppole this pradice—but they will fee the ut lity of it if they will try it, for it is certain that land will bear about th fames quantity yearly, and if in flraw, then the kernels mull be fewer and fmailer. ‘ihe;c u another particuk: iha: the farmers Tail in very much—that is, in cutting their Wheat before it is perfectly dry, which is almofl the only reafoa of the smut troubling them.’ I commonly let my wheat {land longer than my neighbours, and never have been troubled with smut, except when I bought my feed ; from which I have con cluded that it was the time of harvefling that prevented fmuc from damaging flour. About thirty years fincc I bought a crop on the ground : it proved to be veryfmutty; nearly one 8 th. I thought to try what would pre vent its damaging the flour; ac cordingly I let it {land till it was quite dry, so that when cut, iri binding, the ground was checked under iheaf. When I thrashed, it there was no smut to be seen. Ever fxnce, by the fame method, have found the fame good effedt. Wheat that is harveiled after this fame manner will be as good for feed as if there had been no smut among it. Farmers are of opinion if their wheat (hdis in binding there is a great iofe i but they are miflaken ; there is a greater loss in chrafhing wheat that is harvested before it is dry than is wafted in harvefling when it is over dry (so termed.) If there is any smut in wheat that fwcats in the least degree in the mow, it certainly infects the ker nel, and by that means smut is propagated. Cutting wheat with a cradle is pernicious, for it collects a great quantity of green weeds, See. which before it is dry is, put into the mow or flack, and will certainly sweat, and by that means the smut, which is light, will be carried with the fleam throw the whole mow or flack i besides, the cradle cuts off that, which isles tilanding, would en rich the ground. I have but little expectation that these remarks will at pre fenc anlvver my honed intentions; for we find that education and tradition have so bound down people, that there is no moving them, let their principles or pradlice be ever so abfurti.- But as intcred is the great spring in all our actions, 1 hope fome will be induced to pay attention to the experiments made forty years by a‘ FARMER.
