ALBANY, JULY 10, 1924.
SrR,-l send you a specimen of the
celebrated White Flint Wheat, which
hourishes in some Of the western coun-
ties of tht State. A considerable guam
tity of thas been brought to this city
for sale, by MT. Elias Manchester, re-
spectacle farmer of Scipio, Cayuga
county-and shall see that bushel is
reserved for you.
This wheat has been mentioned in
your paper, and has been favourably
noticed by the Agricultural Society of
the Valley of Virginia. 1t was known
in Cayuga countyin 1915, &was brought
there from New Jersey. Mr.. Watnus'
wheat was not sent there until 1915
both may have proceeded from Spain,
and may probably have common oIi-
gin.
The qualities of this wheat, as repre-
sented to me, are prominently good,
and have no doubt of the correctness
of the following statement.
A less quantity of seed is necessary
for sowing, as the original stalk spreads
more. 1t yields whittier, more, and bet
ter -four. 1t does not require so much
soil as other wheat, and takes great.
er growth; although like all other ce'
realia, it flourishes in proportion to the
richness of the soil.
1t produces five bushels per acre
more than any other wheat, ceteri'
parbus. Since its adoption in Cayuga
it has never been known to suffer mil
dew, and it is not so much exposed tc
winter killing as other wheat in general
But its most distinguish ed good quality
is its being invulnerable to the Hessiar
Fly. This is ascribed to the stalk which
is much smaller in the channel, and a
thick again as the stalks of wheat il
general.
Our most experienced millers ami
merchants speak Of this wheat as supe
rior to any other.

moving them five times in season, it
is said, will not kill them. The roots
ofthe shrlb oak will not be killed, but
by digging them out.
To destroy bushes in swamps, food
ing two or three summers is the most
approved method. But if this is not
convenient, draining will so alter the
nature ofthe soil, that the shrubs, which
it naturally produced before, will not
be any Ionger nourished by it; and one
cutting may be sufficient.
Afterall, extirpation, by digging them
out, and by fire, is cheapest and most

NEW INVENTON.

A Scotch paper publishes the follow
ing account Of an invention which, it
says, is to supersede the use of steam
in the working of machinery. Instead
of steam. hydrogen gas is introduced
into the cylinder, which. being destroy
ed by combustion, produces complete
vacuum, into which the piston rushes
with irresistible force. Gas is again in
troduced, and raises the piston, when
it is again destroyed by combustion as
before. A patent has been obtained for
the discovery, The engine will only
weigh from Is to 80 cwt. A small
stove will supply the place ofthe steam
boiler, and FIVE barrels of oil, it is cal
culated, will take ship to India.

not exceed twenty or twenty-five feet:
Circumstances of trivial or local ma
ture, such as the CONFORMATION of the
coasts, currents and winds, must have
some effect in disturbing the equilibrium
of the ocean. The tides, for instance,
rise at Porto-BelIo scarcely more than
a foot, whereas at Panama they reach
II or 16 feet; consequently the levels
of the two seas must vary with the diff
ferent ports. This inequality Of the
surface of the ocean IS confirmed by a
comparison of the late observations of,
M. Moneau de Jonnes on the western
coast of Martinique, with those of NJ.
Humboldt at the Havana, and of NJ. Fleu-
rieu de Bellevue, at Rochelle from
which it appears, supposing that the
instruments employed were of equal &C.
curacy, that the elevation of the waters
of the Atlantic at Martinique is nearly
40 feet greater than at the Havana, and
nearly 10 feet greater than at Ro-
chelle."

CHE arts auO Gcteuceg.

A writer in the Oriental Herald, in treating
OF the various routes proposed for commu-
nication between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, across the lsthmus, thus treats of
the we'll known inquiry, whether the levels
OF the two oceans be the same.
N. Y. Religious Chronicle.
GA question Of serious Importance
has received considerable calculation
in the course of the discussions on this
topic; namely, whether of two neigh
boring seas, as is the vulgar opinion,
the one is more elevated than the other.
This opinion has been SO prevalent, that
some have even gone SO far as TO pre-
dict that the consequence of opening a
communication between the two seas
would be the inundation of the entire
;s!hmus.-This position has, however,
been combatted by Don George Juan,
who found the height of the column of
mercury the same at the mouth of the
Chagre and at Panama; and by NJ. Won
Humboldt, who states, that the baro-
metrical measurements made by him at
the mouth of the Rio Sinu in the Allan
tic, and on the coast of the South Sea
in Peru, prove, with every allowance
for temperature, that there is a diff
ference between the two seas, it can.

BUSHES.

In many parts of our country, the
pasture grounds are infested, and often
overrun with noxious shrubs. This is
the most sloyenIy part Of our husband
ry, and ought to be cured.
Eradicating them, says Mr. Deane,
requires so much Iabour, that farmers
are most commonly content with cutting
them once in a few years. But the
more cuttings they survive, the longer
lived they are apt TO be, and the hard
er to kill, as the roots continually gain
strength.
1t is undoubtedly true, that cutting
bushes in the summer, will do more
towards destroying them, than doing it
at any other season, particularly in Au-
gust. Other circumstances being equal,
the wettest weather is best for destroy
ing shrubs by cutting. Spreading plas-

THE EPISTLE,

From the Yearly Meeting Of Friends,
held IN London, 1924, to the Quar-
terly and Monthly Meetings IN Great
Britain, Ireland, and elserhere.
DEAR FR1ENDs-The benefits of which we
have, through the mercy of the Lord, been
permitted on former occasions to partake,
have not been withheld from us in the course
of the present meeting. We have had to Ie-
ioce in the company one of another; and this
has been to many Of us time Of the renewal
of our spiritual strength, and of the belief that
our heavenly Father is still graciously dispos.
ed to bless us as religious society. Under
the animating influence of his love, we again
address you in brotherly affection, desiring
that ssgrace, mercy, and peace, from God the
Father. and Christ Jesus our Lord" may
abound amongst you.
Great indeed are the advantages of outward
RELIGIOUS communion. 1t promotes humility,
by checking that disguised pride which induc-
es an undue confidence in our own opinions,
or in our spiritual attainments, and by leading
us to esteem Others in the Lord as better than
ourselves. In the proper support of it, we
are called upon to be tender Of the reputation
and character one of another to watch over
each other for good; and when these Christ
ian duties are practised as they ought to be,
we are taught the great value of the care and
counsel of our friends. In the fellowship OF
the gospel we are cheerfully disposed to bear
one another's burdens, and thus fulfil the law
of Christ and we come to participate in those
lows and conflicts which await our fellow trav-
ellers towards the city Of God. Let us then,
beloved friends, be unremitting in our endeav-
ours to maintain "thc unity Of the Spirit in
the bond of peace"
But it is highly ncedful fer US to consider
in what way this unity is most ettectualiy pro-
noted. 1t was the language Of our holy Re
deemer, Zone is your Master, even Christ t;
and all ye are brethren" And can we ex-
pect to become entitled to this endearing APP
pellation by any other means, than By striy-
ing, in all things, to become the servants OF this
gracious Master? All, then u, in the love oil
the gospel, we could not persuade all our
dear friends to be daily aspiring after the
highest of attachments, that OF being meek
and self denying disciple Of the Lord Jesus
Christ leach Of us has his part to act, and
to each it is Of infinite Importance that he
