CAUSE AND CURE OF SMUT IN
WHEAT.

A correspondent of the Genesee Farm
er writes as follows, respecting the cause
and cure Of smut in wheat =
l am an old farmer. have been in the
business of cultivating wheat for more
than thirty years and have heretofore
raised large quantity OF smut. l have
tried all the personalities l have seen
recommended in the Farmer, without an
entire cure ; but for the last ten years
have raised no smut. I will now state
my former practice when l did raise smut,
and my present practice, and hope other
farmers will try the experiment, and
think they will give up the practice Of
sleeping their seed wheat in any solution
whatever ; neither will they need sieve
to seperate the large seed from the small !:
if it is ripe and sound it will not bring
smut.
1 will now say that formerly harvest
ed my wheat very green, or in other
words before it was fully ripe, and made
use of the same for seed, and from that
seed always raised plenty of smut. At
length my" bump of casualty" whisper
ed to me, " You cut your seed wheat too
green ;" and from that time l have select
ed the part of my wheat field that ri pens
the evenest, and let it stand in the field
until it is dead ripe, and until weather.
beaten, and have raised no smut since
l followed the above rule.
Some seasons my wheat does not ripen
even and if fnda green head when I
am cutting my seed wheat. throw it
out for am fully of the opinion that a
l. e -
at all, will bring smut Such a grain
contains but very small particle Of vi
tality and solution of salt, vitriol, or lime
will sometimes destroy the vitality, so
that the grain does not vegetate and
here is where farmers are mistaken
they suppose they destroy the smut, when
in fact it is the unripe, sickly grain, which
produces smut, that they destroy. say
again to my brother farmers, try it, and
my word for it you will not be sorry.

ROCHESTER,, Feb. IL 1858.
Having heard many statements prciudicial to
your Patent Conical Mills, the result ofignorance
aud prejudice, l confess was unfavorAbly i'm
pressed for a long time, until had used some
flour made by them, when was convinced that
they were capable Of making as good or better
flour than had ever had from any other kind
of Mills. Now this is to certify that have in
my basement, No. l Buffalo street, two run of
your Conical Mills, with which have made,
within the last four months, large quantity of
flour, from an average of four bushels and 10
pounds of wheat to the barrel, onc-half OF which
passed for extra in the city of New-YorE, the
satisfy myself as to the yield. 1 believe your
Mills require not more than onc-half much
power as the fiat stones, to do the Same amour
of business. They also grind cool, consequently
the color is better andmore pure, and the flour
brighter, the fermenting properties Of the -four
not having been injured also having more
strength, and absorbs a larger quantity of water
when made into bread, than flour made by the
fiat stone. Yours, Respectfully,
SAMUEL RICHARDSON.
