RAIsINe GRAM AT THE SoUTH.-Mr.
Alexander Mcdonald of Alabama informs
us that he sOwed In September last, several
kinds Of wheat that he obtained from the
Patent Office; one variety of which entire.
lY escaped the rust, and produced the finest
grain that be has ever seen. He also has
raised from seed obtained from the same
source, half bushel Of multicole rye, and q
small quantity Of Polish oat, which will
soon enable hint furnish supply Ofthese
invaluable grains to others in his section of
the country for seed. he says, 81 took
hold Of my business on the 18th day of
May, since which time, have spent some
twelve hours each day, in personal atten.
ton to the plOwing and hOeing Ofmy grow.

FATTENlNG CATTLE.

Alta late meeting ofthe Newcastle Eng.
landl Farmers Club, an account Of which
we find in the Agricultural Gazette, Mr..
Glover the Secretary, spoke of his mode Of
stall-leeding cattle. He said he was par.
ticular TO have his cattle fed at stated times.
The cattle he said, "knew perfectly when
meal time had arrived, and were restless
and uneasy when disappointed oftheir food. +"
He thought " cleanliness and a good sup
ply Of litter should never be neglected. To
keep the skin clean, and use the currycomb
literally, tended to fatness." He remark.
ed that the food should also be given with
regularity as to quantity. They should not
be exposed TO alterations of hunger and sur.
felt. The food Of cattle should also be va.
ried as much as possible. Like human be.
ings they we're fond Of variety and capri.
cious in their appetites. Two pounds of
oil.cake, five pounds Of barley meal and
five pounds Of hay chat; with plentiful al.
lowance Of Swedish turnps, had been re.
commended as daily allowance.
He spoke of the use OF inseed oil in
feeding, which be said had been attended
with much success. "The oil was sprink.
led on good oat straw, layer after layer, at
the rate OF gallon Of oil to weeks al, |
lowance of straw. The straw to be fire.. |
quently turned over, and kept two days be.
fore used, by which time the oil would be
a slight fermentation in the food" He de. |
scribed, also, the mode ofmaking Warne's
Compound, which is highly esteemed for
fatteDing cattle. He put ls6 lbs. water
into a boiling cauldron, and when boiling,
stirred into it for five minutes, 81 lbs. lin.
seed meal. Then So lbs. of crushed bar.
ley was sprinkled upon the boiling mucil-
age, by one person, while another rapidly
stirred the mixture. This occupied anoth.
er five minutes" 1t is then left to coOl-ifl
there is much fire it should be put out. 1t
should be used the next day or by being ex.
cluded from the air, may be kept longer
The quantity given to each bullock per day,
is eight pounds, with hay or straw in add.

WEEDs-HINT FOR THE SEASON.


A very common instance of neglect at
this season of the year, and through the
middle and latter part of the summer, is the
omission Of the continued destruction Of
weeds Corn, potatoes, ruta bagas, carrots,
and ether hoed crops, usually receive one
ar two good dressing with the hoe and cul-
,.yator early in the season, and are after.
wards neglected. How many fields ofcorn
exhibit, in autum, when the crop is cut and
cleared of, smooth clean surface, like a
newly Ploughed field, as they ought to in.
stead of which, we lar more frequently see
half ton of luxuriant weeds to the acre.
The old saying is, "One years seeding
will make five years. wedding" But there
is another reason why weeds should never
be suffered to go to seed. The exhaustion
caused by growing vegetables, which are
destroyed ON the surface, and not buried in
the soil, every one knows but the e1haus.
ton produced by the formation and ripen.
1ng Of the seed, is not so we'll appreciated
1t has been justly remarked, that it requir.
es more strength Of soil to form the hall
ounce of seed on a single plant of the tur.
nip, than TO grow the large succulent bulb
in the ground, though weighing fifteen lbs,
Hence the great importance of never al.
lowing crop ofweeds to draw the life from
the soil of ripening crop Of seed.
The importance Of cutting up and de.
stroying weeds when only an inch high, be.
fore they have shaded and stunted the young
crop, and when the work can be done with
One.tenth Of the labor subsequently requir.
ed, needs no reasoning to show its policy
The advantage of keeping the soil entirel,
free from the seeds Of weeds, so that the
necessary stirring Of the surface may be
entirely performed by the plough and cult.
vatOr, instead Of by hand, is equally Obvi.
