llARVEsTs WITHOUT PREVIOUS SOWING
In the Schnelpost of Wednesday we find
an account of a method of compelling the
wheat plant to become perennial, like grass,
and to perfect its grains annually without
annual growing OF seed, which has been
successfully practiccd at Constance in Ger
many. 1t was discovered by the steward
of an estate named Kern. His method, al
ter ploughng and maturing the land, and
sowing it with summer or winter wheat, is
to NOW it in the spring before the ear makes
its appearance. This process is repeated
several times in the season, and the product
is used as hay. The plant is then allowed
to grow and be cut in the ordinary manner.
The next year it ripcns earlier, and bears
more aLundanhy than wheat treated III the
ordinary manner. 1t is MANFRED in the au-
tunnT, like grass in the meadows, and i'll
spring cleared from weeds. In this man
n2r from one field four successive harvests
have been gathered.- journal of Com.

Sparks, in his appendix TO the life of
Washington, discloscs fact in the history
Of the American Revolution, on which the
world has been In fault. Fl is, that Lord
North, instead Of opposing, was in favor of
doing Justice to the colonies, and was prl-
vatclv in favor of a recognition of American
Independence long before it was granted.
II appear> ~ the extracts from Lord North's
papers, that the notes and letters of the
King reverse the generalimpression, which
has prevailed from the period Of the Revo-
luton TO the present moment, and shows
that il was the King, and not the minister,
who insisted upon pursuing he war, and
who refused peace upon any terms, less than
