SMUT IN WHEAT.

Mr.. EDITOR There has been much
said about smut in wheat, in years past :;
many theories and conjectures have been
advanced, but nothing proved, nor any
thing very satisfactorily asserted.
Many have been OF the opinion that
smut will produce smut again, whether
sown with wheat, or mixed with the ma
nure spread on the wheat ground. But
should they tell me the sowingofc harco aI
would produce trees ofcharcoal, or cause
acorns to produce such trees, | should be
no more surprised.
For the smut ofwheat appears to be an
inert matter. resembling carbon, with the
appearance of Iamp-black. | think we
have no proof of its producing smut, but
to the contrary. A neighbor of mine of
veracity, informed me that he one wear
had very smutty wheat and that the
spring following, he took his seed wheat
and washed it clean; but it fell short of
sowing the whole of his ground; having
no other seed, he took the smut and small
wheat which was separated by washing,
and that produced wheat as free from smut
as his clean seed. Now | would ask if
smut in wheat may not be accounted for
on the prinei pie of fermentation, or rather
efervescence? Raising such an external
motion and heat, as to entirely change
the substance OF the kernel from white to
black, resembling Iamp-bIack, as before
stated ; which is caused from too great
degree of acid in the young growing
flour. In order 10 subsantate this, we
have the testimony Of many farmers !;
which is this,-that when they soaked or
scalded their seed wheat in ye, it never
became smutty; and some times lining
will do it, but not always
In the spring of the year 1886, the wri-
ter sowed some wheat, and his neighbor
sowed some of the same kind, the same
day, and the same hour of the day, and
apparently on the some soil divided by
fence on y; his was free from smut, and
his neighbor's was so smutty as to injur
his -four materially.
Now what could make this difference?
We know of nothing except the field
which produced clean wheat, had wood
ashes sown on about the time the wheat
was coming up; and that which produced
smut had not. Perhaps the alkaIi pre-
vented the grain from receiving so much
acid as to produce fermentation.
Should these hints move chemists and
philosophers to examine the subject, and
ascertain the true cause of smut in wheat
the writer would be more than paid, and
the public much benefited. c..

SOWING one sort, and the loss resulting
from the other being manifest. The VIII
ter remarks that his attention was direct
ed to this important subject, by professor
La Gasca, Curator of the Royal Gar
dens at Madrid; that five years since, he
accidentally saw about eighty distinct
sorts of wheat growing in nursery gar
den in Jersey, some seven feet high, some
only four, the ears OF some being three,
others six inches long; and that the pro-
fessor explained their nature TO him. He
requested the professor to visit his crops,
considering them to be as pure and IN
mixed as those of his neighbours To
the writer's dismay, the professor drew
from the fields twenty three sorts-some
white wheat some red, some liver-color-
ed, some spring wheat, some dead ripe,
the corn shaking out, some ripe, some
half so, some in milky state, some green
He thereupon became convinced that mo
CROP in that state, could either produce
the greatest weight Of corn, give the larg-
est quantity of -four, or make the best or
lightest bread, such as would be produced
from a field in an equal and perfect state
of ripeness." He then selected the best
and most productive sorts of wheat, and
secured ID sorts which he afterwards cul-
tivated with great care and success, show
ing the great profit resulting from this
care and selection, and arguing on the
immense consequences 10 the country, if
attention to this subject could be made a
national object. The modes by which
Col. LIE Couteur proceeded and succeed
ed, occupied large portions of the volume;
but the paper from which we have drawn
the preceding account, gives no further
infor mation.-Boston Courier:

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Colored .Americeu.


The comparative strength of Natural At
lection i'm the White and In the ColOred
man.
Rev. Mr.. Gilmer in letter to Beriah
Green, says -" myself have resided in
the South l do not wish to be under
stood to say, that the negro is destitute of
physical affection; but do with conf
dence affirm, from personal dissertation,
that the negroes have not those strong
natural ties which white men have"
Mr.. Green's reply.
"Such an affirmation is contrary equal
| ly to philosophy and fact
ITO those who have carefully and
thoroughly studied the social character Of
the negro, nothing is more certain than
the remarkable strength of his domestic
attachments. What heroic exertions do
not those, who have escaped from slavery,
often make for the deliverance of their
kindred from the same iron yoke TO
effect such an object, efforts in different
parts of our country have frequently been
made, which would exhaust any thing
but und ying love. You compare the
strength Of their natural affections with
| the attachments which the whites are
known to cherish. Such a comparison,
tllr Y made, could furnish little aliment
for the friends Of those whose boast it is,
that they happened to come into life with
pale faces. What do we find amidst the
monuments of slavery? Fathers, pluck
ing children from the bosoms of their
mothers and fastening upon their tender
limbs the chain Of scrvitude! And such
fathers belong to the 1rhjtes' We find
fathers exposing their own offspring to
the brutal lusts and deadly violence of
furious and remorseless drivers And
such fathers belong to the 'qchites.'-
Rev. Mr.. Ogden assured me, that he had
been informed, that fathers could there be
found, who were guilty of cebauching
their own daughters, and reducing their
own offspring, the fruit Of such Illicit in
tercourse to slavery And such fathers
belong to the 10hites' A southern gen.
Hemam! we are told, sold his own sister
arltb the babes she had borne him, to the
notorious Voolfolk and that gentleman
was white OF multitudes of fathers,
mothers brothers, sisters at the South, we
have heard, who seemed utterly deprived
of natural affection -vho murderously
prosecuted their own blood, in the veins OF
their nearest kindred ; but all these be-
long to the a0hltes.' We know Of scores,
hundreds, thousands, at the North, honor
cd by th,'se around them, as intelligent,
polished, pious; who, when they See their
own brothers and sisters, crushed with
burdens, exposed to insults, indignations,
injuries insuferable, coIdly refuse their
sympathy and aid with the cruel demand;
" Are we our brothers keeper" But
these belong to the 'qrhites' If the ne
gro could be guilty, in this land of Free
dom ofsuch disgraceful apathy, and re-
morse less cruelty, he would on! y sink to
level with the 'achites."

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT BILL W.
ToED.-We learn from the Philadelphia
papers, that the bill passed, by the Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania, appropriating 49,
7O7,343 to various works of internal i'm
provement, has received the veto of Gov
Ritner.
The Governor enters at large into the
details of his reasons for his negation,
which are, in brief
|. That the distribution proposed bv
the bill-in appropriations and suDscrip-
tlons amounting to upwards Of three mill
lons-is among works not owned bv the
state; and the consequent Withdrawal Of
state resources 70 very large amount,
from the prosecution Of the public works,
and the decrease ofthe state debt.
2. The application of the peoples
money for the use and benefit of capital
lists and spectators
3. The danger Of the state being there
after compelled to increase its debt, and
embark more Of lis resources in enter

either advance more, or lose what it has
advanced already.
4, The inevitable increase Of the state
oeOt IN years, TO as millions.
5. That the state will be left without
dollar IN the treasury, at the commence
ment OF the next session, if the proposed
appropriations are made.
.. That it would be departure from
the true policy of the state, which is to
economics, and husband its resources.
l. That 1t would enhance the price of
labor and provisions already too high.
9. That it would hurt the morals of
the People by adding a new stimulus to
the already over-cxcited spirit of spccu-
lation.
9. That it would be unvise and indis-

From the Journal Of Public Morals.
LOWELL, MASS.

In a recent visit to this manufacturing
city, we were forcibly impressed with the
sober morality of the place. Special eff
forts have been made in the regulations
ofthe large manufacturing establishments,
against the introduction Of those vices
which form a moral vortex for the de-
struction of bodies andsouls in our Allan.
tic cities. Lowell is city among a
thousand.
AFreneh traveller in America has thus
written of this city:
!" In France" he says, it would be
difficult to conceive the condition of
young girls, conveyed 20. 80, 40 leagues
from their families, to a town where their
parents would have no one to watch over
or advise them. 1t is, however, true, that
with few exceptions, which confirm the
rule rather than destroy it, these circum-
stances have had at Lowell no bad effects.
The English race are different from the
French their habits and received opin-
ions are different. Protestant education
draws round each individual a circle far
more difficult to be broken, than that for
med by Catholic education. The result
is more GOODNESS in the social relations,
and TO some extent a want of frankness
and open-heartedness but, in return.
every one is obliged and accustomed to
show greater respect for the persons OF
others. What among US would be mere
frolic IN young man, is severely reprov-
ed among the English and the New-Enp-
landers, and particularly among the latter,
y who are, as is said, Englishmen doubIy
refined. In that country it excites no sur
prise to see the daughters offarmers leave
their village and their parents, after re-
eeiving tolerable education, and 90 alone
fifty or hundred miles to a town where
hey know nobody, and there reside three
OF four years in a separate and independ.
ent sta.e. They are under the safeguard
Of the public faith. This implies extreme
reserve IN manners and an memorable rig
or in public opinion. 1t must be allowed
that In this system there is a tincture OIL
sadness and dullness spread over socie.
!, ". Q) But when we reflect on the dan,
gers to which the opposite system exposes
the daughter Of the poor man, who has
no one to watch over her, anc how manv
become the victims Of temptation, it is diff
fcult not TO acknowledge that Anglo
American prudery is better, all thing.
considered, than our tolerant manners
however charming.
"At these manufactures, these youns
girls are watched over with scrupulou
care. Twelve years ago, Lowell did no
exist. When the manufactures wer,
built, houses were also built for the work
men. Each company erected on its owl
ground boarding houses, which are un
der the care of mstrons, who receive /,
salary. These matrons, who are gener
ally widows, are responsible for thei
boarders, and are themselves under tn,
control OF the company, in the govern
ment Of their little community. Eacl

On tn. Quality and Growth of Wheat.

~ tAAO ~OAAsS SAAN III VI W heaIs
From late London paper we learn,
that Col. LIE Couteur, an officer in the
Jersey militia, has recently published
small work, ON the varieties, properties
and classification of wheat The details
are the results Of the writer's own exper-
iments, on his own property. Circum-
stances led him to make a collection of
wheats: and in the course of five wears
close attention and research, it Increased
to upwards Of $50 sorts. TO show the
importance Of attending to the varieties
and properties Of wheat, Col. LIE Couteur
mentions, that among these varieties, there
are some that will thrive better than 9th.
ers in the particular soils and situations
adapted to each, all over the kingdom;-
that one ear of superior variety, sowed
grain by grain, and suffered to tiIer apart
produced lbs. 4 OF. of wheat; whereas.
another ear, of an inferior sort, treated in
the same manner, produced only | ID.
