OREGON AND CHINESE WHEAT.--Just
~ received few sacks of the above new and su-
perior seed grain, from H. r. Smeltzer, esq, of
Bloomfield farm. The Oregon is a red kernel wheat,
and the Chinese beautiful plump white kernel.
These extraordinary varieties produced Mr.. s. last

So to 66 lbs per bushel
''OREeoN AND CHINA wHEAT.-There have been
lef at our Office two new species Of wheat-one called
Oregon, the other China II was taken from the
Bloomfield estate, belonging to Henry r. Smeltzer,
near Middletown, Frederick county, Maryland.
The Oregon wheat was found or discovered by a
missionary travelling through that territory, who
brought it to this country in 1889. Mr.. Smeltzer
this year rnsed from four and quarter acres 2l2
bushels and d lbs., which is fraction over so
bushels to the acre. This wheat is very hardy, of
beautiful red color, with smooth chat, heads from
to 6 inches long, and average from 80 to 100
grains TO the head. II is believed it will yield at
least 20 per cent more to the than the ordinary
wheat from the fact that it has from Is to 20 grains
more to the head. The history of the China wheat
is rather singular. A few heads were found in a
box Of China-ware imported from the north of Chi
ma; and the heads being so very large and compact,
the discoverer was induced to plant them. Mr.. s.
informs us that last year he raised 42l bushels per
with it, and this year Al bushels per acre, This
is beautiful white wheat, and has heads or ears
about as long the Oregon wheat, and about the
same number Of grains to the head. The China
wheat is of the early kind and, far, has not been
injured by smut, mildew, or fy."-Sun.

nATENT 'GALvANlC HlNG, AND Mh6-
i NETIC FLUID.-These wonderful Rings,
and the Gavanic Fluid, have created great sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and are attracting crowds
to see them, both in New York and Boston. They
cure with astonishing rapidity rheumatism, govt,
tic-doloreux, fits, cramp, sick headache, indigestion,
paralysis stiff joints, general debility, deficiency Of
nervous energy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results of the ordinary gal
vanic battery, or electric and magnetic machines,
without the injurious shocks which always accom-
pany their application. The secret of preparing
the Ring was discovered by Professor Harmance
Christie, of London, in October last, and they have
been recently introduced into this country by Dr. A.
Christie, who warns the American public, from the
beginning, to beware Of spurious limitations. To
guard against fraud he will appoint but one agency
