AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL AssoCf-
ALTON.

Alta meeting Of the American Agricultural
Association, in N. York, on Wednesday even
ing, Il. l.. PELL, Esq, Of Pelham, Ulster
county, detailed an experiment III the cultiya-
ton Of Wheat which appeared to US entirely
new. He said that ON the 9Th OF October, last
wear, he cleared the tops from a potato field,
burnt them and returned the ashes with view
OF sowing wheat. The seed was prepared
thus: soaked four hours in brine that would
buoy up an egg, then scalded with boiling hot
salt water mixed with pearl ash--passed over
a sieve--distributed thinly over the barn floor,
and dry composition sifled on it, composed
of the following substances: oystes-shell lime,
charcoal dust, oeaginous charcoal, ashes, Jer
sey blue sand, brown sugar, salt, Peruvian
guano, sicate OF potash, nitrate of soda, and
sulphate of ammonia the sun was permitted
TO shine upon it for about half an hour, when
the particles became as it were chrystalized
upon the grain; III this state II was sown at the
rate OF two and half-bushel TO the acre, direct
ly on the potato ground from which the tops
had been removed, and ploughed under TO the
depth of FIVE inches with a Scotch plough,
narrowed once. a bushel of timothy seed sown
10 the acre and narrowed twice. Atthe expl-
ration Of fifteen days the wheat was so far
above ground as to be pronounced by neigh
Dor far in advance OF his, which had been sown
in the usual way on the first Of September,
thirty nine days earlier
The -four made from this wheat, which
weighed nearly 65 lbs, received the first pre-
mum, silver medal, al the last fair of the
American Institute. The superiority Of the
-four was owing to the enormous amount Of
gluten it contained. Mr.. p. read DR.. ID. z.
Gardner's analysis of the -four, which showed
that il contained Is percent. of gluten after be-
ing dried by an air pump over sulphuric acid
his manures Were applied for the purpose
of producing gluten. Ii may be as well 10 say
thata composition made by MIR. r., containing
so different chemical substances. was spread
broadcast over the whole field before the wheat
came up, at an expense not exceeding So
The yield per acre was somewhat about 20
bushel.

CHARCOAL FOR PEAcH TREEs.-A friend of
mine has Just informed me of the success he
has met with, by the application of charcoal 10
his peach trees; few years ago he had some
fine trees in his garden which invariably had
wormy fruit; and the trees full of gum; when
the fruit was about the size OF marbles. he had
the earth removed from each tree about 2 feet
around and inches deep, and filled up with
charcoal; the result was that the fruit grew to
Il tine size, free from worms; and every year
since, the fruit has been good, and the trees be-
came healthy and free from gum; while TWO
trees left without the charcoal, continue to bear
wormy fruit, and the trees unhealthy; as this
will be in time for the readers Of the CuItvator
10 make a trial this year, and should il prove
as good with others as in this case, it viii GER
tainly be Of great benefit TO the fruit grower.
Hfanners will plant their pumpkins, melons
and other vines on land that brought corn the
past year, they viii never be troubled with the
striped bug. This course has been practiced
here for many years, and has Arrays proved
successful, when vines planted on land that
had any other crop, even vines the year prevl-
Gus, are destroyed BY the bug Caltivdtor,

WHAT A FARMER WANTS.

The Farmer wants stable mind;
A purpose sure and steady,
To patent industry inclined
For business always ready,
Good, careful habits, well infixed,
And judgment acting clearly,
To sift out truths with error mixed,
Though ii should cost hun dearly.
He wants neat and prudent wife.
Who, when he earns, can save il;
Who kindly soothes the cares Of lie,
(Besi gift of him who gave it,
lie wants a snug and tidy farm,
And health and strength togethef;
A house and barn, TO keep all warm
In cold and rainy weather.
Heavens blessing then must crown the whole,
Or all his hopes are blasted;
But with this resting on his soul,
The purest joys are tasted
He then enjoys bliss unknown
To those the world calls greatest;
Known only TO the good alone,
The earliest and the latest.
