The Agricultural Report Of the
Patent Office.

We are indebted to the courtesy Of
the Hon. Charles Mason, Commissioner
of Patents, for a copy of the agricultu.
raj portion of the annual report issued
by the Patent Office. in which much
valuable and interesting information is
given. concerning certain new seeds,
plants and cuttings recently introduced
into this country by that Office, agreeably
to the design of Congress, indicated by
the appropriation of March Sd, 1855,
together with an account of the benefits
their Introduction is likely to confer up
on our agricultural population. Among
the seeds. plants, &c., which have been
obtained and imported by the Patent
Office within the last three years, and
the cultivation of which has been very
successful, are the following: hae
A THE Turkish Flint Wheat,
from near Mount Olympus, in Asia, il
found to be we'll suited to the soil of the
Middle States; to be b eayier and to pro-
duce better -four than the ordinary
wheat, and to be protected against the
serts BY the long beard with which it 10
furnished. Experiment made with this
species of wheat in Virginia, prove that
with good cultivation it faill yield thirty
bushels to the acre, and it is calculated
that if this species alone were cultivated,
the addition to the aggregate yield of
the Middle and Southern States would
be no less than 10000, 600 bushels
taking 100, 0o0, 900 bushels as the pres.
snt yield.
The Improved KangPhaHip or Broaon
earn, obtained three years ago from an
island in q lake in New Hampshire, has
been sown with great success in the ex-
posed districts of Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia, yielding from so to
100 bushels of shelled corn to the acre,
aud taking but ninety days to mature
from the day of planting. Other ad-
vantages of this corn are, that it may
be planted close, is of a dwarf growth,
and all its stalks and leaves may be used
for fodder. r
FORAGE PLANTs.-IKe Chinese So
gar Cane, recently introduced into the
country from Natal, in South Africa, is
particularly recommended to the Ameri-
can iagriculturist. If the seeds are
planted in May, or still earlier in the
Southern States. they will produce two
crops of fodder in a season ; the first of
which may be cut in June or July, the
second a couple of months later. With
careful cultivation, the Chinese sugar
cane will yield seven tons of green or
two tons of cured fodder to the acre.
When almost ripe, the stalks are filled
With . saeeharine sap from which sugar,
