INTERESTING TO FARMERs.-Au English pa
per relates that practical farmer the annual
dinner of the Preston Agricultural Society, gave
some accounts of various interesting discoveries
in farming, particularly related to economy of
seeds He said that he had always been OF opin-
ion that much less seed than was generally used
for grain would answer the purpose. With this
impression he made experiments upon different
portions Of the ground. He had planted at the rate
of one grain of wheat 10 square foot, or nine
grains to q square yard. In several instances one
grain had produced thirty ight stems, in others
rather less, but in all crop amply sufficient. He
had also examined the heads and found that one
head contained as many as forty grains
The general result of his calculation showed a
produce at the rate of fory-two bushels per stat
ute acre. There were 4640 grains in half pound
of wheat, and thus, according to the proportion
he had named 4 lbs. 10 or. of seed would be
found sufficient for statute acre. This he thought
was Il subject deserving the consideration of ag-
riculturists. He bad this year drilled three acres
of wheat at the rate of six bushels for three acres
in rows of from twelve to Thirteen inches asunder
and though this only to Il small extent toll
lowing out the former experiment, yet it would
be guide to the Observation-Disclosures Journal

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
SATURDAY, May IL.
SURVEY OF THE ALLEGHANY RIVER.


A motion in the shape of report, from the Com.
mitee on Roads and Canals 10 print 1900 copies of
the report Of the Secretary Of War; upon the survey
OF the Allegheny river, was first in order upon the
Speakers table.
The question being taken on this motion no quo
| rum voted.
Mr.. WHITTLESEY hoped the further cons-
Iteration of this question might be postponed till
Mr.. MERCER hoped the question would be taken
at once. He represented the object of this motion 10
be deeply interesting the country and gave reasons
why it should prevail.
Mr., WHIfTLEsEY hoped the printing would
be ordered, and urged the great importance of the
proposed survey to his immediate constituents as
well to the whole West
Mr.. POTTER also made similar statement to
show that the Improvement of the Allegheny river
was an object ofthe greatest importance to the whole
population OF Pennsylvania and the entire West;
and that the proposed survey would be but the carry
ing out of national enterprise, already commenced
and carried into partial effect. He asked for the
printing of the extra copies of the report of the Sc
cretary of War.
Mr.. FILLMORE was in favor of the motion to
Mr.. DRoMGooLE asked if the usual number
of this report had been printed
The SPEAKER responded in the affirmative.
MIR. sDROMGOOLE was opposed TO the printing
of extra copies, on the ground that the motion was
but covert attempt TO pledge The House to this and
other internal improvements. He moved TO lay the
motion on the table.
MIR. THOMAS asked for The yeas and nays and
they were ordered.
Mr.. MERCER remarked that his colleague (Mr.
DRoMGooLE) had cast reflection upon the motives
of the friends Of this motion, and had closed by
moving to lay the subject on the table. He hoped he
would withdraw his motion to enable him (Mr. NJ
TO reply. .>~..
Mr.. DROMGOOI.E said he was unconscious of
having cast any such reflections as those imputed to
him, and could not withdraw his motion
The House was then divided and the motion to
lay the table the proposition to print 1900 extra
copies of the report was decided in the negative as
! follows: Yeas 90, NAYS 81.
| Mr.. MERCER made some remarks in reply 10
those Of Mr. DRoMGooLE for the purpose Of reiuting
the charge adduced by the latter that the object Of
| the pending motion covert. He also defended
the motion 10 print as highly expedient and proper,
and one that the intelligence of the House WILL not
now, yet at some future time prompt them 10 sane
! ton. ...
Mr.. MARVIN could not but express his surprise
at the opposition which had been nterposed upon
this occasion TO the printing of report Of this i'm
portancc. IL was no unusual motion, and he could
conceive OF no sound objection to il. He went into
exposition OF the national importance Of the pro.
posed work, which he described az but plan for
the extension of The navigation of the Ohio river,
and one in which one-half at least of the people
ofthe United States were deeply interested.
