indeed a melancholy truth, that thousands fall

find hundreds, nay Thousands who treat such
complaints with the greatest indifference, aud

CROSSING GRAIN.

Messrs Editors:-Wilh your permis-
sion, will give to the public, through
your paper, my views of the method or
course which all farmers ought to pursue,
to obtain a good crop of grain, and to per-
petrate good quality. The same theory
Will hold good in ali kinds of seeds and
vegetables planted. have made known
to severa. intelligent farmers my ideas
these two years past, and all have agreed
with me. My plan is simply this. Every
farmer ought to cross his grain Of the
same kinG-lfa at is, by mixing it on the
barn floor with some from neighbour,
hut not the same neighbour every year,
after some years have elapsed, he may
cross with the first again, he having also
crossed with some others. By mixing
in this way, the blossom will he crossed
in the production of the grain. and bet
ter and larger gra II will he produced.
On the contrary, If the same grain is
sown for number of years in succession
without crossing or mixing, it is natural
or reasonable to infer that the quality and
size Of the grain will degenerate.
1t IS az necessary in nv opinion for
farmers to mix their grain in sowing to
raise a good crop, (other causes excepled)
as it is to cross their live stock, which, it
is we'll known will soon degenerate irnot
crossed.
Farmers general believe much advan-
tage is derived by changing grain from
one soil to another, as if all depended on
the soil.-This is an erroneous idea, as
all soils, when in good state of cultiva-
ton. Except the pure white clay) will
produce good crop. But when crops
seem to fail. it is natural Cor man to look
for some caIrse, and in the infancy Of his
knowledge, that will present itself to his
mind which is most simple in its nature;
hence the production of grain by the bios
som will not have entered his mind for
reflection, to see if he cannot discover
some cause there.
