Jatnset's Experiment.

We find the following in the link Lane

may be worth an experiment BY the farmers
Of this country:
efnE MlxING OF SnEBs An Interesting
experiment persorned III France, III mixing
different kinds of wheat for seed, has lately
been published. Fifteen varisties of wheat,
amongst which were Hunters and Fenton,
were sown s,rarately, en- about twenty four
poles Of hand for each, and sixteenth plos
was sown with a mixture composed Of all
the varieties 5; this latter Ilot was the most
