Wheat for Seed.

As the season for sowing is near at
hand the suggestion offered in an article
contributed TO the Paten, Office Report
for 1880, by E. Weston, of Bloomfield
Maine, may be of value 10 some of our
readers.
at has been suspected for a long time
| that our SEED was in the fault, at least
for part of the deplorable deficiency in
the wheat crop. / could not see why a
flour mill cleanser should not be the best
thing to prepare wheat for sowing, till
all experienced miller told me it would
kill one half of it. Rejecting on this
fact | was led to see what effect the com
mon threshing mill would have, when
many kernels are broken in the operation.
These suggestions have been experiment.
ed upon aud i is found. on repeated trials
Of samples sown in common sausers and
bro al cast in the ground, that one fourth
or more Of the largest kernels are killed,
and never germinate, and some will pro-
duce shoot and no root-the root sprout
being killed by the machine. This ac-
counts in some measure. for wheat com
ing up thick enough, but shortly becom-
ing thin. Many kernels, from native
strength. shoot up, but having no roofs
die.
In our flour mills may be seen the caps
of the root sprout blown out, by the
blower or fan, under the hopper, By
quarts at time, besides that which is
blown out above. One farmer told me
that he had tried the experiment by acci
dentally having barrel of wheat thresh
ed by hand, and sown with another barrel
threshed with a machine. and the differ
ence was al least one quarter. Thus it
is seen that one quarter of the seed is
killed by the machine for threshing; and
then the whole is run through an or"ina
ry flaming mill altogether. and sown
from the mass. We raise our wheat,
year after year. from about three -fOurths
of the seed sown. and that of the poorest
quality; the best and fullest being killed.
Now, to my mind. this is enough to ac-
count for the dimnuition of the wheat
crop from 20 to 80 down to from 10 to
l5 bushels. No seed on earth could
stand such a test. Formerly the wheat
was threshed with a fail, and winnowed
in the Northwest wind. and then the
seed taken very carefully from the North
west corner Of the pile. so that very lit
tie wss sown except the first order Of
kernels. some went so far as to select
heads of the largest and best growth by
pulling them from the sheaves. A gen.
tleman who tried the last experiment, had
a quart of wheat which was sown on a
corner of the field and he assures me that
he could see the difference in the grain.
forty or fifty rods. the plants being a
darker, broader leaf, and taller growth.

FuGIrIvE SLAVE LAw.-The grand er-
ror to use the mildest terms, into which
| the opponents Of the fugitive slave law
have fallen. and into which they are try
ing to lead the people, is assuming that
ii is the fugitive slave law that gives
power to the slave owner to reclaim his
slave in free state. when the fact is, as
they all know. or ought to know, that the
power is given by the Constitution of
the United States, and existed in full
force before the passage of the fugitive
slave law. and that, under the tonstitu.
tional power of the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that the owner of
the fugitive slave might seize him wher.
ever he could find him, and take him to
The state from whence he had escaped
without any process of law whatever.-
Such was the law Of the land at the time
" hen the fugitive slave law passed. The
power. then. is given by the Constitution.
and the fug live slave law steps in and
prov ides legal remedy, by affidavit. war
rant. and investigation. instead Of the
remedy under the constitutions of seiz-
ing and carrying away the fugitive by
night or by day, without any process
whatever. Had the fugitive slave law
no: been passed. Ellington could have
seized Freeman and carried him out of
the state. and sold him as slave. without
any process of law whatever The fugi-
tive slave law is protection to the free
colored man. and should be supported
even by the aboli'ionests. unless they de-
ny the binding obligation of the Consti-
tuiion of the United States. We. there
fore. think it self evident that those who
are fighting the fugitive slave law are the
enemies of the compromises of the con-
stilation. and their war against fugitive
slave law is a mere pretext.
