PREPARATION OF SEED WHEAT.
THE WEEVIL.

One Of our subscribers, who evidently has
not read what we have published in former
volumes about wheat insects, expresses the
opinion that soaking seed wheat in brine, then
rolling it in lime, is useful as means of pre-
venting injury from the fly and the weevil; as
he supposes the eggs of these insects are in
some way attached to and sown with the
seed.
Any person who has read at all on the sub
ject, or observed the habits Of these and similar
insects, must know that there is no danger
whatevero the eggs being sown with the wheat.
1--WE shall treat of the history and habits of
wheat insects, quite fully, in our articles on
Entomology before long.
The brnng and lining Of seed wheat has
been found beneficial in the prevention Of smut
in wheat; and it may be of service generally in
giving an early and healthy start 20 the young
plants; but the only means that we can suggest
as q prevention Of weevil, is to sou earig on
ground well prepared, that is naturally dry, or
well drained, and sow the hardest and earliest
variety Of wheat you can obtain. AS we have
before stated, the Mediterranean wheat has gen.
orally been found the least liable to injury from
weevil as well as the Hessian fly, OF any var
iety that can be easily obtained; and although
worth few cents less per bushel in the mar
ket, it is found the most profitable, in the long
run, on the majority Of farms, at least in dis,
tricts affected by these insects CWh,

Little Too Rare.

Years ago, blunt Vermont farmer, not al
together versed in public literature of fashion
able cookery, having by hard knocks acquired
considerable property, took it into his heaC
to visit Boston, and started accordingly will
bis best one-horse gig. Stopping near noon a
one of the smart villages on the route, he pu
up for time and ordered dinner. When ask
ed what he preferred, he mentioned beef steal
wheyeupon the landlord inquired whether hf
would have it rare or well done. This was
stunper for our friend; but thinking there might
be something glorious in the uncertainty he
assumed the air of one who knew the bricks,
and ordered it rare. All things in readiness,
our hero took seat at the table and commen-
cea a vigorous onslaught on the smoking vi
ancs placed before him. Atthe FIRST cut of the
steak, blood very generously followed the knife
at which be started back in astonishment, and
rang the bell furiously. Directly waiter an
swered the summons, and inquired what he
wished
4 want this beef cooked said the guest.
But you ordered it rare, replied the waiter.
4 know it, said the guest, assuming to un.
derstand the matter fully, but it is not quite
right: you may take it out and rare Il over

Editorial Farming,

Horace Greedy, it is welknown, has taken tc
farming Last year, when in Massachusetts
attending the poultry show, he bought half-a-
dozen pure Cochin China eggs at six dollars a
dozen, which produced him six ugly ducks.
An editor from Maine, however Jared still
worse He bought half-a-dogen eggs, of the
new variety which the dealer assured him
would produce very rare BIRDS So they did,
for they were put under the very best hen, and
in due time came out-'what do you think p
i could not guess, said his friend, what
were they p
LAND TURTLES and what was, as soon as
they were hatched, they seized upon the old
hen, and such squaling was never heard in
