Seed.

We call the attention Of the c~ultiyator, 1T this early
day, to the Importance Of securing good seed. 1t is
undoubtedly as true in nature, that the vegetables and
grains may. be so cultivated so IS to yield large, plump,
healthy fruit, as that the animal world by dint of good
breeding may be- highly improved In sowing wheat
great care should be taken that we take the largest and
~plumpess kernels. This may be effected by a common
farming mill which will allow all the small, shriveled
kernels to pass through the .sieveb together with tbs
foul grass seed that may be in it. / was first led to 3
consideration of this subject from the fact that a certain
tain man in our neighborhoodr William =. Oliver
raised the best crops Of wheat-one year an average Of
forty bushels tathA iae--s4sand Iii 10 well known that he
put one bushel Of seed only to the acre. In 8 conversa-
ton With him last spring, he stated that he invariably
took out she smalrgfains' Hence his'largs yields, and
it is perfectly philosophical. A small grain of wheat,
and perhaps shriveled at that, cannot have life in j. to
produce much yet it must have room in the field. and
its fruits be small heads and shriveled kernels. Let
the seed be all of the fairest character, and NC may
reasonably expect a good crop of plump grain With
cut questions he same remarks apply TO oats, corn. bar
icy and rye.
i. is . Question much argued by farmers, whether or
not it be "a veil * Plapt small potatoes Is Larger. Some
who argue tfkaass Because they have received for one Of
two ye=rz as good yields from small seed potatoes as
from large, there need be no question, are xery much
deceived. II IS true that in a good soil, for one or two
years, smdsnSFpa1tsstoess may field larss stbpA buet6st4s'
continuation ot ,.his process will . common
term run the potatoes out. is equally certain, or else
shere must be some great discrepancy in nature. Now
it is q we'll known fact, that the seed raised from tho
cabbage stump will for = season or two raise good heads,
but S continuation Of that process, will exhibit finally
: growth of cabbage stdsuanlps%ddiaay' iifnsseM oflsrgsse plump

from the largest heads and roots you can fod, and then
you may, expect. large and beautiful seeds, and if you

Relation IL Crops.

There IS no element, In the MIND OF the agrlculturlst
50 importsnt TO the soil, as Il constant rotation OF crops.
Men have searched, the world over, for fertilizers which
should have the powers of renovating the lands yearly,
aud 80 far as that is concerned they have signally failed.
Agricultur;sts arc at this time questioning the fertiliz-
ing properties which it is said guano possesses. Some
contend that after G series Of large yields, BY the ap-
~plication Of guano. they have experienced An alarming
r~etrograds oyement, and have been compelled to adopt
sone othenmethod, to rescue farms from further de.
terioration ; they have even applied to their barn yards,
snd by artificial methods, sought to increase its piles Of
manure, upon whose fe~rsilizing properties they could
safely rslys snd knowing from experience tina. a yearly
application Of il was beneficial Modern times have
disclosed the fact tina: the earth has its own peculiar
ways Of renovation, and when man violates those rules,
he must expect 70 receive punishment in the shape of
slim crops, and ) deteriorated quality OF grain. 'a"-
Observation-Disclosures has proved long since that every
one Of the cereals (grains) demands . separate class Of
chemi csl equivalents; that is, they are 80 different III
composition, that each enc abstracts from the soil =
peculiar class for itself: Surprising that the earth, or
speaking more definitely, our fields, contain all the in
gradients necessary with the aid Of moisture and the
atmosphere; to form all the grains, let us begin our
operations practically. Let Us 6rst SOW wheat, and
withou, 3 knowledge of the above principle, We continue
70 SOW wheat. Foetwo Or three years, theereund rich
IN that class Of chemical equivalents needful TO form
wheat, produces large crops, but then begins to fail-to
our astonishment-aad we think the soil is exhausted.
Not so; it is pregnant with those other ingredients ne
eessary to produce corn, OF oats, or buckwheat, or minet,
OF potatoes, or onions, or clover, &c, and it only re-
quires tha. we shall son , different kind Of seed in Or
der to obtain good crops, and permit that exhausted
class Of equivalent to recupsratc, or acquire new
strength.
You may nov offer an objection to this-as you have
a perfect right to-and say that all the grains have a
few ingredients in common. That is indeed true, and
while we advocate rotation in crops, we do not by any
means object to enriching the soil BY manures. But
We demand that the tiller shall restore to the ground
those very elements which are formed in common, in
the composition Of the grains. For instance, if a
nitrate is a common ingredient, then should the manure
be nitrous in character. If lime be a common ingre.
dent, then We should not fail to keep the earth we'll
supplied With lime. But if ammonia, for instance be
peculiar only to one kind Of grain, then ammonia need
not necessarially be applied. for rotation will give a
fresh accumulation. Let there be A CONSTANT RoyA-
TON or THE UNMARRIED WHEEL
