New VARIETY OF WHEAT.-Seve-
raj farmers in this quarter have cult
waited a new variety Of Wheat, for
a year or two past, with great satisfae-
ton. 1t is called Alabama Wheat.
from the fact that about a half pint
was brought here from that State in
1889, by an observing farmer. After
finding that it succeeded well in this
climate. he disseminated it for seed.
and 1t is computed that this year, g.
900 bushels have been raised, chiefly
IN the Whitewater Valley. Ii takes
the preference, by far, over all other
kinds of Wheat brought this market,
weighing from Ga to IS lbs. to the
bushel. Its yield has averaged a.
bout 80 bushels TO the acre this sea-
son; and the crop was so forward,
that, at Harrison, in this country. it
was all harvested by the 9th of June;
one man in that place has raised this
season 500 bushels, that sell quick at
81 per bushel for seed. It's culture in
this quarter, and in the neighboring
parts of Indiana and Kentucky, will
be largely extended this fall. The
C!ermont Fourier Association will a
lone sow one hundred acres with it.
Mr. Bradbury, Mr.. Fagin, and prob
ably other mllers here, are selling
it TO Farmers for seed, at 81 per
bushel. The supply, however, is far
short of the demand.

nThe apparatus consists OF number OF cast
iron pots holding FIVE or six tons OF lead each.
10 them the metal is melted and suffered TO
cool slowly, while workman keeps constant

is to say, particles or crystals OF solid lead
fall 10 the bottom and are Withdrawn by a
perforated ladle. These solid particles con-
tain less Than The original lead, while the re-
naming fluid part is so much the more enrich
ed and made valuable. 'fhe same operation
is repeated, from time to time, both upon the
crystals when melted in another pot, and also
upon the liquid portion remaining from which
the crystals were Withdrawn, until The silver
is contracted in the one-tenth part or nearly OF
the original melted lead. This rich residum
is then subjected TO another process called Gu
pelalion, which is curious though simple
method. A cupe is a shallow eaflhen vessel.

PLANK RoAps.--Wc copy the fol

cnt ofthe Star in the West. 1t is an

Through all Of Canada that | have

their hoti0ireS or side walks, of pine
planks; these when properly laid make
not only clean and pleasant, but also

1t might not, however, be for the health
of some of our Western folks to adopt
them, for they have been so long &C
customcd to padding through the mud
and slop, that a change to comfort and
cleanliness, might occasion a violent
shock to their constitutions. The
plank roads of Canada arc another
Improvement which has not yet been
adopted in the States. 1t is as much

across these planks arel laid, and fastened
down with large spikes; then the whole

SANTA FE 'TRADE..-The new Wing
paper at independence gives some use
full statistics in relation to the Santa
Fe trade of the present year. The
Santa Fe companies during the last
year imported in specie about $780,
1000, and in robes and pcltries about
| $4,000. Four companies went out
this year containing about IG0 men.
taking with them goods to the value OF
$500, 900, and their outfit at that place
cost about $4,000. Ninety-two wag-
ons were in the companies. The trade
of this year is said TO be much less than
usual, owing to the fact that a large
number of the traders failed to return
from Santa Fe on account of the rains,
high water and bad weather.
The editor says that if they were
entitled to drawbacks on the articles
exported by them, our traders would
soon supply the entire trade ofall New
Mexico, and he urges the allowance
Of draw backs, and The establishment
ola port of entry at independence for
the accommodation of this trade. We
see no good reason why draw backs
should not be allowed on goods cxpor-
ted by land as well as on those cxpor-
ted by water.
All this valuable branch ofcommcrcc
would be cut off and ruined in the
event of a war with Mexico.
