ON THE FARM.
Preparation fur Wheat ground.— In ntlili-
tion to wiiat wo h ive already *aid upon 11>is
subject, we will remark, that the sooner ground
intended for wheat shall be ploughed and put
in order for the reception of the seed, the bet
ter chance will there ho of the crop bein' a
goad one, as the ground once ready nn'l in
good tilth, the farmer may choose his own time
for sowing. And wo would wish to impress
this fact upon the mind of the wheat grower,—
that vet lands are not adapted to thu success
ful growing of the wheat crop, at they never
fail to exert a pernicious influence upon ilie
plants in the alterations of thu weather during
winter and early spring, and that it is impossi
ble that healthful veg tation can be carried on,
where tho roots of the plants, during those pe
riods, nro buried in masses of mud and wa
fer. Besides good ploughing and fine tilth, it
is essential that wheat fields sliouM be secured
by judiciously arranged water furrows, at in
tervals of some sixteen fcet'npnrt, so construct
ed, and so levelled, as that the water, which
may fall, will speed )y pass off. and be con
ducted to lending drains around the field, of
sufficient depth and to receive and convey it
away. It would be better that fields •bound
ing in n superabundance of moisture should
be blind-drained ; but as there is not time left
for such labor, the next best plan is, to do as
wo have advised above, provide them amply
with sufficient furrows.
Should the ground allotted to wheat, net
hftvo fcmc or marl naturally present in it, the
wheat grower should he sure to put at least
ten bushels to the acre on ir, and, if posrible,
add as much ashes to the lime, us both are
necessary ingredients in tho constitution of the
straw and grain—and will not only tend to pre
vent the lodging of the former, hut to promote
the fructification of the latter.
It may bo said, that tho present price of
wheat will rot justify the tioublo and expense
we have marked out. True, the price is low,
hut in proportion to its depression, so should it
bo the object of the farmer to increase tho ratio
of product, in order, that, in the saving of the
wages of labor, ho may fi id his remuneration.
Selection oj the Seed.—Too much care can
not he tnkon, in the choice of varieties, to se
lect those which combine the qunliifi-s of early
maturity, good flouting properties, and resis
tance of ihe fly; nor should less care be observ
cd in procuring tho best ami oleines: seed
which can be oh’aincd ; it should be plump,
heavy, and frre from nil extraneous matters,
so that in sowing it, the earth may not be filled
with weeds also.
Preparation of, and putting in the Sted.—
2Vo prerent smut, all seed wheat should be
well washed iu clean water, so that all tbe
lighter grains, and the seeds of weeds, may le
lighter grains, and the seeds of we- ds, may he
skimmed ofT. To ensure this, the wheal should
bo put into a hogshead, in small nuantics at a
time; kept stirred, so that the impure grains,
and extraneous matte s may be floated to the
top. This process should he continued until
all such arc removed, and the water, which
should ho drawn off and replenished occasion
ally, cra{es to be colored by the operation.—
Alter th;.; has been eflected, let a brine he
made of unit, or Icy of ashes, sufficiently strong
to hear an egg. cover the seed wheat with it,
. and let it soak for twelve hours, tin n drain off
the soak, spread the wheat on a floor, sprinkle
sluked lime, or ashes, over it and s’ir. up the
... .. nci uj|!» ts 11one, meseeu will
he ready for sowing. No mote wheat must
be taken out of tho soak than can be sown
each day, and care should be taken to plough
it in as sown, not more than about three inches
deep. The harrow and roller should follow
the plough. Seed thus prepared and put in,
will, besides being exempt from smut, come up
quicker, grow more rapidly, and, of conse
quence, obtain a much better series of roots
before winicr, than would such as may be
sown without preparation, and therefore be
better ;b'c to withstand the effects of frost and
thaws.
On clover-legs and grass-swards, the seed
should be harrowed insicud of being ploughed
iu, as it is desirous not to disturb tho sod,
which should be permitted to remain, rot, and
form food for the plants.
Time of Sowing.—With regard to this
matter, there cannot be said to be any pener.:l
rule applicable to all circumstances of climate
and locality. It should iiowcver be nn object
with every wheat grower to get his see l in .suf
ficiently ourlv, to enable the plants to form
their roots, before their growth is arrested bv
llie frost. The danger to be apprehended
from the fly, when sown early, deters many
from sowing until lalo ; but wc do think that
there is more to fear from the injury of frost,
when sown late, than from tho jig when sown
early. Taking all things into co isid'Tation,
we are clearly of opinion, that every farmer
cV’ti n-t,i eesof s il a *<i ••x,i.*su. -
lot lie.sit.itc to sow tr im 2.V to 3
acre.
As wc have spoken of Guano, it may not he
anus to point out what we conceive would
make a very excellent substitute, where that
article cannot readily he i brained. 1 nko two
bushels of Ground bone. 2 h i.she's of ashes,
10 buajiels of rich La im or m<m'd, 1 JijhIk-1
Plaster, 2 bushels of Suit, and 20 gallons of
Urine; mix the whole together well'; let thu
mass remain for n few days, when it will he
fit to saw. Tiiu quantity hero named, is inten
ded for an aero, and would, we luiVC n > doubt,
tend to increase tbo yield thiiiy lhieu per cent
iu thu coo of wheat, besides areally improv
ing the succeeding crops of any rotation, which
inigai follow, and leaving the ground in a mu-
liora e I condition.

Planting cu> Orchards.-A!>hough it is too

mound which mav not have bo*’ 11 twice plough-
line.—This grain, ifnut already sown, s-tottld , ed-; therefore if you f* t*-nd plan’ing out :
bo pul in as crely this, month as possible, a <1
with a view of providing pasture in cariy sprr-g
for tlie i- lama owes, >t would be well to give it
a sufficient fertilizing top-dress, should the
gran* tl not be in good heart. From experience
we nro.prepared to - s ay, llint thoeatiug dawn
Rye in early spring does not materially, il at
all, mteifero with tim product ol gr;-in.
Preparation of Seed-—We would advise
that seed Rye he s ibm tied to a similar soak as
lint rec-unm* nded lor wheat, sis shouIJ it a i-
swnr no oilier »-nd, ii would facilitate germina
tion. andcause the plants to grow off vigorous
ly and encourage i!v formation of roots, and
thus prevent what is termed winter kill-tig. I he
groo id allotted to Rye should be ploughed m
about three inches in dopth, whep tho ground
should be harrowed, and nftewards rolled—
nor would wo consider our work well done
unless we sowed a fi-w bushels of li-no and alli
es to the nee, sav 5 of each, unless tue soil
had been prcvionslv limeil or nsned.
Quantity of Seed to the Acre—A b is el ot
Rye should always lie sown to the acre. In
tue selection care should be observed to gel
the best seed that cun be obtained, and it p"ss -
ble that which was grown at some distance
from your own neighborhood.
Timothy Meadows.—Every farmer should
consider liims-lf bound to provide his larnt with
a good timothy meadow, and ii lie cgn tempi-tea
setting one this season, the sooner the better it
be done. To expect a luxuriant crop of tine
grass from a poor field is as unreasonable as to
expect a cool blooded horse to stand a lour
mile I cat. Therefore, lie who may desire a
good crop ol timothy must pioviiJe the p ants
the means of feeding well. Besides L ine or
mar] and ashes, there- must l>u a generous sup
ply of banyard or other nutritive in mures. The
ground should, if possible, undergo two good
plougnings ; tbo first should be done deeply ;
when after ire ng thoroughly harrowed, a dress
ing of soy 20 double horse cart lo-ids of ilia
nure, per acre, should be spread thereon, to be
ploughed in about three inches deep; then har
row, sow the seed, harrow it in lig itjv with a
light li.irrow,.-mni d the tc -lh oi'wl.ieh a grape
vine has he* u twisted to prevent the seed from
being covered tu deeply, and finish by rolling
the ground. This bt or process besides bring
ing tlie earth m'o immediate cont- ct with the
seed, thereby urging forward its gcrniin.it,on,
compresses thucarUi.aiid presents to the scythe
a smootn surface for the operation of -cutting.
If lime and potash be not already present in
in the soil, a few biiriiols of ashes and inn**,
tier acre, should bespr- ad on thu field any time
during winter when tho ground is sufficiently
firm to resist po idling.

Of Liming.—Where it nviy not he conve
nient to lime, or ash, nt tho time of sowing, tho
operation may bo delayed until winter, when
tho lime may bo put on while the enrth is coy
cred with frozen snow. Somu of the best and
most experienced wheat g-owers in Pennsyl
vania prefer this latter mode of lim'ng.
Having spoken ofthe necessity iff using line
•nd ashes, in connection wim the culture of
wheat, we may be indulged with further obser
vieg, that where there may be any deficiency
in the natural fertility of the sop, the cheapest
as well us tltp best manure tlmt could lie u-rd
would be Guano, in the proportion of from 150
to 300 ibs. to the acre, to be mixed with about I

of political putrid.ty themselves accused every

their principles in the fight of day? As we
did in our notice of tit** address put forth by tne
same committee, we inu-t, in justice to the
more elevated scnum-i'ts of Messrs Jenkins
and Alexander, say that we do not believe
thattlicy had anv lhmg to do with tlie concoc
tion of this circular. Whigs though they be,
we have th* highest rcgaul personally for the
candor -*nd liberality of these gentlemen, and
would not wilfiitgly connect them with anything

“ Conduct your movements quietly so as not
to excite our opponents: excitement should be

Titus they tell the people that the Texas,
