: Wheat Crops.-We are sorry to learn
from the .Williamsport Banner, that the
wheat crop in that neighborhood is not
likely to turn out SO well as anticipated.
1t is stated that the ravages of the fly are
very obvious in many fields of early sown
wheat and that from present appearances
not more than half the usual product is
anticipated. 1t should, however, be re-
membered, that the spring is late and the
crops consequently very backward; and
hence that what now promises but indit-
ferently, will yet recover itself, and yield
productive harvest.

TIE WHEAT CROP.

From Frederick and Washington coun.
ties in this State, aud several counties in
Pennsylvania, we learn with regret that the
prospects for q wheat crop were never
more inauspicious. A gentleman from
Frederick county in this state, assured us a
few days since, that he had heard of several
fields in this county being ploughed up, and
many others where more than seed was not
expected to be realized.-Farmer 4. Gard.
The demand for raw silk, we learn from
the Silk Culturist is so great that the pro.
ducts of foreign filatures are selling at
$6 so cts. per pound. The advance in
Europe is said to be unprecedented. Within
a short time the price at Milan has advanced
from "A to 80 per cent; the finer qualities
to 40 per cent, and more advance is ex-
pectcd, as the manufacturers Of Lyons,
Zurich and Germany cannot procure stock
in sufficient quantities to execute the orders
they have already received from New York.
Sewing silk commands $40 pound, and
is only to be had in small quantities at that.

CUTTING WHEAT.

AS Harvest is near at hand, we would
call the attention ofour readers 10 the i'm
portance Of cutting their Wheat before it
is fully ripe. Abundant experiments have
proved that this practice is attended with
many advantages, amongst which are the
following:
1st. More time is allowed for securing
the crop.
2nd. The Grain is less liable to be in
jured in the field, to shatter or to be des-
troyed by Weayil.
3rd. 1t makes more and better -four.
18th. The Straw is of far greater value
for provendcr. The Wheat plant begins
at the top-when, therefore the Straw i'm.
medlately below the head has attained
maturity, the Grain can receive no further
nutriment from the earth-cvery day,
therefore, that it is permitted to stand in
the field after this period is productive of
Of injury, both to the Grain and to the
Straw, without any compensating benefit
whatever.-Tennessee Farmer.

ter national importance than any dgrieuhu-
raj subject erer get pursued.
But if doubts and fears shall remain, we
only ask them to commence the culture Of
the mulberry on a limited scale for few
years, not to interfere with any other agrl-
cultural pursuit. Let the experiment be
made upon some ofour almost barren and
useless portions Of poor, dry, stony and
gravelly soil.
1t may be asked, fthe silk business can
be made more profitable than almost any
other crop, why not take the best and richest
land? A fair question indeed. But such
land is not the best for the Chinese mulberry.
and it would be desirable to have every
patch poor, aoaste dry land devoted to some
useful purpose.

RURAL ECONOMY.
From the Maine Farmer.

ON RUTA BAGA.-No l.
Mr.. Holmes.-It may be that | will en-.
courage the raising of Ruta Baga if state
my success in that crop the last season,
though not remarkably large one, yet as
hay and food for cattle has been, it was a
profitable one. 1t grew on just one fourth
olan acre Of ground, whicn yielded 2O4
bushels, by weight 65 lbs. to the bushel-
the same as the law requires that potatoes
should weigh.
1t is supposed by most farmers that 1000
lbs. olthis vegetable and ton of hay will
sustain our cattle as long, or 60 as far i'll
our stock as two tons of hay fed out under
standingly, or in other words, they are
worth as much, pound for pound, as En-
glish hay.-Accordingly to the above num-
Der of bushels and weight, there grew on
the quarter OF an acre l-2 tons and Sc lbs.
Hay is worth $40 per ton-if Ruta Baga,
weight for weight, is worth $50 per ton
the tons and a half and Sc lbs. amounts to
Sl30,56-equal to S522,24 per acre, when
forage is thus high.
VIII now give an account OF the actual
profit, us sold some, and might have sold
the whole at the same rate, for as hay has
been high evidently undersold. Two shil-
Gngs bushel / sold for, Ga pounds by weight
per oushel--a, that rate the 204 bushels
amount to s6e-equal to S272 the acre.
All can see that undersold as forage has
been this season-but as the worth Of hay
is, take one year with another, they are
worth and will bring % cents the bushel, if
kept until April-at that rate my quarter of
an acre would bring S51, equal to $204 per
acre. Is it worth while to attend to raising
Ruta Baga-this question will be better an
swcred when make known the expense as
intend in future communication.

Mr.. HoEmes.-You may recolect that
| engaged, in former communication on
my crop of Ruta Baga the last season, to
state the expense which was at respecting
it. The land as remarked in my former
communication consisted Of the 4th Of an
acre, of rather. light soil, having formerly
some wash from the high way. Potatoes
were planted on it the year before, on sward
recently broke up-previously it had been
moved many years. The ground was toler-
ably well manured the year raised potatoes
on it, and had fair crop In May last |
manurcd it again, with new manure from
my heaps at the barn, say about 4 cartfuls
on the quarter of an acre. spread it and
plou9hed it Immediately under, not permit
ting it to manure the atmosphere. then
narrowed it down level, then let chain
be drawn 2 1-2 feet asunder to mark it, for
sowing. then, by hand sowed my seed
in the chain marks pretty thick, and hand
followed with hoe and scraped some loam
on to cover it, which took about two hours
each. The seed came up well-soon after
| sowed the plants over with good ashes,
and | had many plants to give my neigh
bors, but before they were large enough to
set, the ground became weedY. hoed it
between the rows which took days work,
when the plants became large enough TO set
after giving away some, many remained
in the rows. l then hoed the ground with
a hoe Of common size, right through the
rows and thinned them, so that they stood,
say 9 inches asunder in the rows, which
took three days labor. | hoed them again
very soon or the leaves would have spread
so as to render it impossible to have hoed
them without injry, which took u day and
q half labor, making 5 l-2 days work, be-
sides sowing the seed, say nearly halfday's
labor, worth in all $500. The leaves well
paid the harvesting. Here is the cost of
my 2O4 bushels Of Ruta Aaga except 25
cents for the seed and manure and 9 BUSH
els Of ashes,

from other countries to the amount of about
$l7,0OO,OOO. 1t is stated that we impart
annually of Raw Silk to the amount of
about $4,000, and of the manufactured
over sirteen millions.
Unless the United States push the culture
ofthe Mulberry trees and raising of cocoons
beyond any thing now in operation, many
long years must intervene, before we can
supply the demand Of our own markets.
Inha biting as we do one of the best climates
in the world for manufacturing silk Of the
best quality, instead ofpayisg ten millions
ofdo!lars annually to other nations for raw
material, we ought to export 2 or 8 times
that amount.
Its said our imports of Silk s.ufs exceed
our export Of Bread stuffs-why is this?
Only because we do not duly appreciate and
improve the means we have. Let our in
teliigent farmers be convinced that the silk
business is profitable, and then we can hope

there is spring, the water of which boils up with
violent ebull,on, as from cauldron, and ac-
companied by variety of loud noises. 1t throws
up large quantities of mud, which is OF a healing
quality in cutaneous diseases. But the most re-
markable phenomenon Of the spring is, that If
person make loud noise at the embouchnre OF
the cauIdron. the boiling water rusbes out beyond
the spring, to distance in proportion to the vlo-
lence Of the conclusion, and has been known to
be thrown ten feet, and sometimes smoke and
flame accompany the violent ebulitions.

From the Monthly Genesee Farmer
CULTURE OF RUTA BAGA.

Mr. TUCKER.-I observe an article in
your Genesee Farmer, No 43, ofthe cur
rent volume, on the culture of the Ruta
Baga, or Swedish Turnep, by J. H. Glib
bon, wherein he states that 300 bushels to
the acre may be raised, with permanent
crop of wheat, rye, or barley, after the
last dressing. have this season grown
about an acre of ruta baga; and have this
day measured off square rod ofthe piece,
and it contained five bushels, or at the
rate of 800 bushels per acre; and taking
each bushel at Sc pounds, which is the
weight, gives 44,6OO pounds, or % tons
40 pounds per acre hesitate not to say,
that the crop may be increased by good
care to 1907 1900 bushels per acre
Mine was scarcely more than half attend
ed to-the ground was in potatoes last
year, and was ploughed in December af-
ter taking up the crop In May plough
ed it again, and sowed it to carrots; but
the seeds failed entirely. Ithen pIoughed
it UP again, and narrowed it, so as to give
a good mellow surface On June 23d,
with Robbins drill barrow, | sowed it to
ruta baga, one pound to the acre-the
rows l8 inches apart. hoed them once
in August, and this was all the attention
thew had. Now the rows to be II inches
apart is far enough, and in thinning out
leave the plants l2 inches apart also-this
is standing thick enough.
have heard many farmers say they
never could succeed with this crop, or tur-
neps generally, unless upon a piece ofnew
cleared land. l can tell them with truth
if they will give up their lamentable per
severance in manuring the public road by
letting their cattle and COWS lie about all
night, las is too often the case, to the great
annoyance Of travelers,) and yard them al
night or give them patch Of an acre
close to the barn during the coming win
ter, which will save them the trouble o.
hauling tin he spring plough it so as
to havea mellow surface by the harrow
before sowing, and about the goth ofJune
sow it as l state, and soon after they are
IN the fourth leaf, hoe them and thin
them, and as soon as you see weeds grow
ing, hoe them again. which, if left week
too long, must materially injure the crop
on the other hand, if done in season one
man can hoe them in day. will guar
antee them 800 to 1900 bushels per acre
Hfarmers would turn their attention tc
root crops more than they do, they would
find it incredibly to their adVantage-theil
cattle would be kept in far better order
and at vast deal less expense, than buy
ing mill feed for them, which in compar'
ison, is poor stuff.

A CAUTION.

As the cold weather approaches and
large fires are necessary for comfort, it is
the duty of parents to change the infama-
BILE cotton, summer garments of their chill
dren, for the less combustible material Of
woIlen, in orderto guard against the sad
accidents, which we regret to say not IN
frequently happen everyayear, especially
at the commencement of every winter
There cannot be fate more dreadful Ell
Their TO child or an adult, than that of
being burned to death; and as shocking
instances have occurred not only to chill
dren, but to females, we cannot but advert
tothe simple discovery of Richard Phil
fps published some time since In an Eng
lish Periodical, for their prevention. He
deduced from the principle of fame, that
ladies ought to lie down as soon as they
discover their clothes to be on FIRE, that
the progress of the fame will by that
means be instantly checked, and may be
easily extinguished, without any fatal in
Jury as usual, to the head the face, bosom
or throat He proved his principle by the
following experiments; he took two slips
of printed cotton, a yard long, and on
lighting one ofthem at the lower end, hold
ing it perpendicular. it was consumed to
cinder in a fifth of a minute, and the
volume of fame was SO great as to rise
two feet He then lighted ga exactly
similar piece of cotton, and laid it horizon
tally on a pair oftongs, so as to be hollow,
and in this situation it was five minutes
burning, and the flames at no one time as
cended an inch in height, and might have
been extinguished by the thumb or finger.
This plain and easy experiment ought to
be read in the presence Of every family.
