SEED WHEAT.

As some varieties of Wheat are preferable
10 others, the best should be obtained. By the
use of sleeves which will not allow all grains to
pass thro', the large plump berries may be selec.
ted for sowing-which will make a great i'm.
provement. If a person has grain enough to
select from, it is best TO have sieve that will
retain only about one fourth, fifth, or sixth of
the grain, that it NAV be the best.
There are various methods ofpreparing seed
wheat to prevent smut, which have been atten-
ded with good success. We published one in
our last number. Seed wheat should be thor
oughly washed, TO remove all dirt or minute
seeds that may adhere to the grain. And all
light seeds such as oats and the like, that will
SWIM should DE skinned off.
The following method of preparation is ex-
tensively practised and with success. After
thoroughly washing the seed, make strong
brine of common salt, using as much salt as
the water will dissolve in this put the wheat
and stir it well, this will cause imperfect grain,
seeds, &c. to rise which are too heavy TO float
on water. Remove these and let the grain
! remain sometime in the brine,as is convenient,
keeping it in cool place, if ii remains long in
this state.
In several instances wheat has remained in
brine two or three weeks without injury to its
! vegetativc powers. A few cases have occur
red of wheat not negotiating after soaking long
in brine, but the most of these occur with the
Italian wheat, which is supposed to be more
liable to injury in this way. Ifthe grain soaks
long in the brine. it should be in cool place.
and the brine should be strong, then it will
preserve it in a sound state, and prevent its
vegetation in the brine.
| After the above preparation, mix fresh slack
ed lime with the grain. sufficient TO dry it for
sowing conveniently. Let it remain in the
lime several hours before sowing, but not
long time. In case of long storm or any
other cause of delay in sowing after the grain
is in the brine, let it remain in that state, and
not lime it till shortly before sowing. The
salt and lime are both useful in promoting the
growth of wheat.
As there are several cheap preparations of
seed wheat that are complete preventives of
smut, as has been abundently proved. and as
some of these can be attended to with conve.
nence. every farmer should guard against an
evil to which this valuable crop is very liable.
"Prevention is the better cure"
Be merely washing wheat, and then mixing
with it fresh Stacked lime, about half peck to
bushel, and letting IT remain half a day, or a
day, smut is generally prevented. This meth
cd is practised to great extent, and with good
success. Some farmers have followed this
way for thirty years, and have never had
smutty wheat.
As there are various ways ofpreventing smut
in wheat, no farmer should run the risk of SOW
ing seed without some preparation that has
proved ef1ectual.

Importance ofths quality Of the Sail used

At late agricultural meeting in Augusta,
Me-, DIR. Bates stated the Quakers of Fairfield

GEN. JAMES HAMILTON, OF S. C. Accus-
toned, for long time, to look in common
with the whole country, upon this gentleman
as every thing that was unstained in point of
personal honor and public integrity, we could
not see the facts lately published to his disad-
vantage, without a lingering persuasion that
he would yet vindicate his conduct from re-
proach, and make it appear that the facts up
on which he was condemned were susceptible
of better, perhaps an innocent interpreta-
lion.
A document, just placed before the Virginia
Legislature, goes far, we think, to exculpate
Gen. hamilton from any breach of personal
probity, in the matter in question. Apparent
ly, he has committed an imprudence and an
improperly; but not for any individual gain.
We rejoice, therefore, in once more placing
him before the country in that honorable light
in which very large body of friends have al
ways delighted in regarding him.-IVash. In
