northern section of the Union and such
are the casualties which the winter crop
has to encounter, from the Hessian Fly.
from hard winters, and from the grain
worm, for the latter, we have no doubt,
will soon extend itself over the whole
country. that we apprehend the farmers
of the northern and middle states, at
least, will soon find it advantageous TO
resort TO the spring species of this grain
for their crop. Under this view of the
subject, we think we shall lie doing a
service to the readers Of the Cultivator
by detailing what we know in relation
TO different species Of spring wheat.
The sriticum oRstiUunl, or spring wheat.
is said to be native of southern Sibe.

been gradually dispersed through Eu-
rope and America. 1t ripens ordinarily

teen days alter the former. The follow
ing, among other varieties, are described
in the books:
/. Having a red spike, or ear, and
grain.
2. Red spring wheat. with white
ear.
3. A white spike and grain. These
three are all beardless varieties. of the
same species, are not easily affected by
moisture, and give a -four nutritious,
but not SO white, or in so large pro-
portions, as the winter varieties.
These are believed to be the CONS
mon varieties cultivated among us.
4. Siberian spring aoheat, probably the
variety in Oneida, and already noticed
on the authority of DR.. Goodsell. 1t is
bearded.
5. The Egyptian, or many spiked ~heat
Loudon terms this a variety Of winter,
whereas with us it is a spring wheat
This is remarkable for its uncommon
produc!iveness. The grains, however,
do not yield SO large proportion Of flour
or msal as the other species or varieties,
and the flour is said to be scarcely supe-
rior to that obtained from the finest bar
| ley. Ithas been introduced in our coun-
try TO a considerable extent.
6. Spell wheat, noticed under cores

Z, Italian spring toheat. This is the
variety which was introduced by Sir.
Hathaway, of Rome, and which seems
to have proved congenial to our soil and
climate wherever it has been tried. 1t
is bearded, the product is abundant, and
the grain makes excellent flour.
There are besides those we have emu
merated, several other varieties Of spring
wheat, which we do not find described
and with which we are not acquainted,
as the Black Sea aud Tea Wheat, which
are probably mere varieties, which have
been modified by climate aud culture.
The white, or spring or summer
wheats, flourish best on light soils. The
ground, however, requires to be well
PulveFized. a good preparation is q
clover ley, ploughed in May, aud sowr
the 18th in this latitude, so as to escape
the grain worm. The straw of spring
wheat is generally shorter than that o
the winter varieties, the berry les
plump, the flour less abundant. and dark

And with his thong he beat her,
And cursed her as she wept
Alas! what hours ofhorror

In toll, and pain, and sorrow,
They slowly pass away:

The threads they ofener broke,
The rapid wheels ran quicker,
And heavier fell the stroke.

But night brought no repose

To take her last hours labor,
While by her frame she laid.

While, close beside her kneeling,
She knew him not, nor smiled.

Her last perceptions tried;
When, from her straw bed springing,
'Tis time!' she shrisked-and died:
