growing crops and judge for ourselves. In
Michigan the corn is backward. but the rains
and sun are bringing it forward fast. and an
average crop is Looked for. The winter
wheat IS good. In the northern part of
Illinois, wheat. both spring and winter. is
rank Corn is breast high, stands well, and
promises heavy yield. There is, too. in
this State an immense breadth of land sown.
Farmers are getting more independent.
have more facilities, and can take care of
more grain than heretofore. The trouble
has been with them, that they could sow
more than they could reap. help in harvest
being scarce. But now, machinery plows,
sows. resps. rskes, thrashes and cleans their
grain, and but little is left Tor man TO do. ex-
cept to make his crops. There is no old
wheat in the country, but plenty of corn.
Every farmer, almost has half or two thirds
of his last years crop on hand. lying in
heaps about his barns. In Iowa and Wiseon-
sin there will be an immense yield Of wheat

Remedy for smutin wheat.

DIR. STERE publishes, IN the New York
Country Gentlemen, that soaking wheat, in
tended for seed, in a solution Of Choloride Of
Lime, is an effectual remedy for smut in heat.
The Dr. has made series of experiments,
from which he infers:
|. That wheat seed infected with smut
produces plants, the grain Of which is filed
with a similar fungus.
2. That the presence Of the smut or fun
gus is injurious to the straw. as well as de
structive to the grain.
3. That sleeping the infected seed in a
sprinkling it with quick lime, has but little
effect in preventing smut III the future plants.
q. That sleeping the infected seed in So
lution Of choloride Of lime, is nearly spe-
cifc in preventing smut in the future plants
and very much more efectual for this pur-
pose than the steep If Glauber salts, so highly
praised by a French commission.
The choloride Of lime has, during a few
years past, been used as wheat-steep by
several farmers in different districts, and with
the same satisfactory results.
The solution used is made BY mixing one
ID. of choloride Of lime in one gallon Of water
(soft;) stirring frequently with a stich OF
something rooden, for two hours, or till dis
solved. Put the grain to be stepped into
large quantity of water, stir frequently, and
remove all the grains that swim. Pour off
the water and add TO the seed enough Of the
cholorde of lime solution to cover it. Allow
il to remain two hours, and then dry with
sand, mould, lime or other powder The
solution poured off may be used again and
again, or while it lasts.
