question involves mere choice OF agents, and Is not
question of constitutional power; or, IN other
words, it is mere question Of patronage and prac-

rivers, and roads, the agency OF States, with right
to collect tonnage duty (dutes) for such purposes,
has been long since abandoned, as utterly inefficient
and unavoidable. And those who desire to return

Winter Wheat.

The Maine Farmer, with reference to this
subject says -
s'As far as our observation extends, the
winter wheat crop in Maine is very fair. The
uncommonly dry weather during the summer
and the early part of the autumn last year, was
rather unfavorable to that which was sowed
and indeed it prevented some from sowing al
all. Some fields that we have seen are not
thinned out at all by the winter or spring
frosts, others have been thined by this, or some
other cause, say nearly third, and in very
few instances there has been general failure.
A field of ours, of five bushels of sowing, that
we had put in during the latter part Of Octo-
Der last has been thinned out, say one-third by
drought and frost &C., but the remainder looks
very promising.
We have noticed that the fields that were
laid down to grass last year, exhibit the same
diversity as the wheat fields. Some of them
had very good ''catch" as the farmers say;
some have been thinned by various causes,
and have but very little indeed We have for
years been trying to make 1t apparent to our
farmers, that winter wheat would not fail us
in Maine, oftener than the grass does, and we
believe it. But a failure of grass seeding,
does not seem to excite much tIouble in the
minds of the farmer, while failure of wheat
seeding, would set him to moaning, and look
ing dismal all the summer, and bring him to
conclusion never to try again.
Now in some of the best wheat districts in
the United States. they have to incur the same
chances, changes, and accidents. A cores
pondent of the Granite Farmer, last week
writing from Michigan says:-''Our wheat
crop is the hardest crop we raise, that is, re-
quired the most hard work And then again,
itais the most uncertain crop, we are never
sure of it till we get it into the half hushel. -
If such is the case in the great wheat regions
of the far West, can we expect to be more ia
vored than they are If they fail crop they
try again, and so must we.
