Drilling Whear.


We copy from the Louisville Cour-
ier the following communication on
the subject Of the drilling Of wheat,
which embodies some excellent sug-
Igestions to farmers. The views ex-
pressed will apply to the raising Of
wheat in Southern Indiana as well as
to that business in Kentucky:
IN the Agricultural department Of
your paper, yon describe in very pro
per language, the careless, slovenly
mannerin which wheat is cultivated
in the State Of Kentucky, and the re-
suits Of poor and uncertain crops fol-
lowing such cultivation. .
IN addition to what you have said,
permit me to add, that one great cause
Of failure Of the wheat crop in this
State is the irregular and superficial
manner in which the seed is put in
the ground. As long as farmers will
persist in sowing wheat broad cast,
they must expect poor and uncertain
crops. In this latitude We seldom
have snow to protect the plant, and as
a consequence large proportion,
sometimes nearly all, freezes ont dur
ing the winter. I = the. last three
years ] have sowed most Of my wheat
with seed drill, with the most deci
ded advantages. In the first place it
saves seed. Three pccEs to the acre,
sown with drill, brings fully equal to
q bushel and half sown broadcast.
This i in consequence Of the seed be-
ing deposited at proper and uniform
depth. where the ground is moist, in
suring early termination and vigorous
growth. whereas much Of the seed
sown broadcast is lett on or near the
ground, exposed to birds, or to perish
for want Of sustenance.
In the second place, it prevents 1t
from winter killing or freezing out
Seed drilled in is left in trench or
small furrow. and as the earth crum-
bcs during the winter it falls round
the roots Of the plants, protecting
them from the frosts and winds, which
are the cause Of freezing or winter
killing.
IL the third place, drilling in wheat
saves it in a great degree from rust.
Rust in rain is caused by the burst
ing Of the straws in particular kinds
Of weather, by which the sap or juice
Of the plants, which is needed to'ma-
ture the seed, escapes and rms down
the straws, causing the red appearance
which we too often see in orr harvest
fields As grain put in with dill
stands in rows, freer circulation Of
air and penetration Of the rays Of the
sun are permitted, which harden the
straw and prevents IL from bursting.
This fact, and .hc additional one that
from the increased vigor Of its growth
it ripens from five to eight days earlier
than that sown broadcast, are almost
a certain protection agairst rust.
That portion Of my wheat which
was drilled in, yielded me thirty-iive
bushels to the acre, while that sown
broadcast scarcely produced fifteen
bushels. r rr hlls
Ny wheat this year, having all been
drilled in, stands beautiful on tho
ground, and promises well, while that
of my neighbors, with very few exccp-
lions, Of early sown wheat, is almost
! failure. 1 consider my drill among
he most important implements I have
IN my farm, as it is useless to provide
&c., unless. have somct
hing to harvest. rA wv anfi..

New ORLEANS, March ed, 1860.
Ed Crescent--Several q cards y have appeared
in the daily papers, recommending the expediency
Of sending aid to the strikers " of the North, but
tile cards Iii this mornings Picayune has more
particularly attracted my attention. The writer
seems to sympathize deeply with the Northern
tstrikersn during their adversely brought about
BY their own rashness, and inyokes the charity OF
the public and attention Of the capitalists. This
may be very good in its proper place, but therels
an old, but not the less true saying let charity
begin at HoME!'' These charitably inclined indi-
yiduals had better look round and assist, first,
those who are already fully identified with the
South and her institutions, and especially New
Orleans, rather than play the Good Samaritan
to those who have, by word and deed, and In TACT
every way in their power, endeavored to crush the
very existence of that institution which has more
than any other contributed to their support and
weiI-being. The wants sbooksn u of our own
charitable institutions, as well as glance at our
streets and private life, will expose field in which
these charitable individuals can operate with more
certainty and as much benefit as in Massachusetts,
There will be found men not lacking in capacity
and integrity, and fully identified with New Or
leans, who are unemployed and who actually need
thropy! Many events conspire to make it neces
sary for Southern employees to look to their secur
ity. What say you, fellow-craft, to Mutua
Protection Society?
