al English account published some years
since, which practice have adopted for
five or six years past with success, and !
do think mnchfof it.
Make a brine of common salt, strong
enough to bear up hens egg: then put
in your wheat, not more than the brine
will cover. Stir it and skim as long as
anything will rise. Il will float off all
the light kernels of wheat, oats, light kerr

Injurious to the seed Then take the
wheat out, and put into The same brine
another lot, and so on till you have clean

wheat into heap--let il lay six hours
then mix sufficient quantity Of dry ashes.

as adding to the growth of the wheat The
English account says, Gas well as individ-

More proofs from the same account

begins to head out use an instrument

an. inch ia diameter, with socket into
which insert handle, say four or FIVE

may 90 over large piece of ground in
day. The method is to take the grub
and cut offsa thistle. dock, or anything
that is injurious to the wheat at the sur
face Of the grounds and leave j on The
spot where It is cut off. A field that has
had this dressing will look much better:
weeds always take the starr Of the wheat
