Cause and Cure for Smut in Wheat.

A correspondent ofthe Genessee Far
mer writes as follows, respecting the
cause aud cure of the smut in wheat -
am an old farmer, have been in the
husincss of cultivating wheat for more
than thirty years aud ! have heretofore
raised large quantity ofsmut. have
tried all the representatives. have seen
recommended in the Farmer. without
an entire cure but for the last ten
state my former practice when ] did
raise smut, and my present practice,
aud hope other farmers "ill try the OK
pertinent, aud think they will give up
the practice Of steeping their seed wheat
in any solution whatever; neither will
they need sieve to separate the large
seed from the small; if i is ripe and
sound it will no, bring smut.
will now say that formerly har-
vested my wheat very green, or in 9TH
er words before i'll was fully ripe, and
made use of the same for seed, and
from that seed always raised plenty
Of smut. Al length my dump Of cas-
uaIiry" whispered to me, "You cut
Your seed wheat too greeu;" and from
that time have selected the part Of my
whea, field tina, ripens the evenest, and
let it stand in the field until il is dead
ripe. aud until wealherbeateu, and
have raised no smut since | have fol-
lowed the above rule.
Some seasons my wheat does not RI
pen even aud if find u green head
when ] am cutting my seed wheat,
throw it out; for am fully Of the o.
pinion that small, unripe grain of
wheat, II IL vegetables al all, will bring
'mut. Such grain contains but very
small particle of vitality and solution
ct salt, vtiiol. or lime will sometimes
destroy the vitality, So that tho grain
does not vegeta,e; and here is where
farmers are mistaken--,hey suppose
they destroy the smut, when in fact it
is the unripe, sickly, grain, which pro-
duces smut, that they destroy. | say a.
gain to NV brother farmers, try it, and
my word for it you will not DO sorry.

SH;a2lSlaIais.

There are objections to Shanehuis,
no doubt, but We never thought of this.
1t is very curious, but it is true. The
way of it was this:
Mr.. S., an old resident Of Still
water on the upper Hudson, introduced
among bis family Of hens a few Shang-
hois, including rooster, of formidable
dimensions, who had "run to legs" a
good deal. His "crow" was peculiar,
and easily to distinguish from that of
the pro-celcstjal cock. 1t came to be
a Second nature for his ownc2 to hea,
it in the early neutrality-suspicious., for
which he was wont to wait, before get
ting up. One morning he had waited
to hear repetition Of the usual SUN
mons; after being aroused by the shrilI
clarion once sounded; but lie heard il
not again. The other roo3tcrs were
doing their best; but the prc-cmincnt
chantlccr was still. Mr.. S. went
ont TO see what had caused the silence.
lie found the rooster lying on his back.
with both legs out Of joint. After an
examination, he set both legs; the
cock walked off, and gave vent to his
satisfaction in ii lusty crow. In tic
very act, he dropped as if he had been
shot. He had crowcd his legs out again
lie was kept three or four days, and
hen killed.
" 1t was too much trouble" said Mr.
