Care For sznut i'm Wheat.

A correspondent Of the Gennesses Far.
mer thinks he has discovered an entire new
remedy for smut iu wheat. His idea il
worth considering though il may not proys
all that he claims for it.-Pro,Tfe Farmer.
am an old farmer and have been 10 the
business Of cultivating wheat for more than
thirty years, and I have heretofors raised g
large quantity of smut. I have tried ell
the preventiVes that have seen recon-
mended in the Farmer, without sn entire
cure: but for the last ten years havd rais-
ed no smut. Twill now state my former
practice, when did raise smut, and nv
present practice, and hope other farmers
will try the experiment, and / think they
will give up the practice Of stepping their
seed wheat in any solution whatever; nei-
ther will they need & sieve 10 separate the
large seed from the small; IL it is ripe and
sound It will not bring smut.
formerly harvested my seed very green,
or in other words, before it was fully ripe
aud made use of the same for seed, and
from that always raised plenty Of smut
AT length my bump of csusuality whisper
ed to me, "You cut your seed wheat too
green," and from that time have selected
the part Of my wheat field that ripens
evenist, and let il stand until It is dead
ripe, and until the heads appear weather
beaten, and !, have raised no smut since
have followed the above rule.
Some seasons my wheat does not ripen
even, and find green hssd when 1 am
cutting my seed wheat, throw it ou,;f forI
I'm fully Of the opinion that small unripe
grain Of wheat, if it vegetables at all, will
bring smut. Such grain contains but q
very small particle Of vitality and strong
solution Of salt, vitriol or lime will some-
lines destroy that vitality, 20 that the grain
does not vegesate; and here Is whore far
msrs are misssken-they suppose they des-
troy the smut, when in fact II il the upripe,
.ickly grain which produces smut, that they
destroy.

A NOBLE SENTIMENT.

Henry A. Wise, in his late Address, on the
subject Of Education, says: "Teach your chill
|dren the element. Of Christian philosophy, the
Bible, lessons Of Love and Temperance, and
knowledge, and Virtue, and Faith, and Hope
and Charity, and you may turn them out into
the world withouta pang Of apprehension, with
out doubt, or distrust, or fear; they will never
hurt each other, and never injure the Stais."-
That i, the true idea-an Education which looks
both % the Head and the Heart.

The Farmers Danghfer.

She may not in mazy dance,
With iewelled maidens vie;
She NAV not smile on courtly swain
With soft bewitching eye;
She cannot boast form and mien
That lavish wealth has brought her;
But, ah, she has much fairer charms,
The farmers peerless daughter.
The rose and lilly on her cheek
Together lore to dwell;
Her laughing blue eyes wreathe around
The heart a witching spell;
Her smiles are bright as mornings glow,
Upon the dewy plain;
And listening to her voice we dream
That spring has come again.
The timid fawn is not more wild,
Nor YET more gay and free,
The Iilly's cup 10 not more pure
In all ito purify
OF all the wild flowers in the wood,
Or by the chrystal water,
There's none mere pure or fair than she,
The farmers peerless daughter!
The naughty belle whom all adore,
On downy pillow lies
While forth upon the dewy lawn
The merry maiden HES,
And with the larks uprising song,
Her own clear voice is heard
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings,
The maiden or the bird.
Then tell me not Of jswelled fair---
The brightest jewel yet
Is tie heart where virtue dwells
And innocence is sci!
The glow Of health upon her cheek
The grace no rules have taught her,
The faiTest wreath that beauty twines,
Il for the farmers daughter!
