CULTIVATION OF WINTER wHEAI

CULTIVATION OF WINTER WHEAT
From prize essay in the American
Agriculturist, on this topic, we select
the following paragraphs:
Wheat, one Of the greatest staples
Of the country, if rightly managed,
may be made one of the most profitable
of our cereals upon almost any SOIL
Twenty years experience has demon
strated TO me that we hardly need fail
of success, if the following mode Of
preceding be strictly followed:
Selection Of Ssed.-Select none but
the best seed of bearded wheat. The
white chaff is preferable, it being worth
some ten ceI.ts more per bushel in
Eastern markets. Prepare a strong
brine-do not depend upon old beef or
pork brine-and wash as long as any
filth or immature grain rises 10 the sur
face. By this process, We shall expel
from two to three quarts of foul seed
and shrunken grain per bushel. from
what would be called an "extra" arti-
Gle. Seed prepared in this manner,
will send up none but the most hardy
and vigorous plants, consequently will
be less liable to winter-kill; and as
like produces like, we may look for an
article in the increase, equal, if moi
superior, to that which was sown.-
Add three quarts OF dry, fresh-slaked
lime to every bushel Of wheat; mix up
thoroughly two days, or two weeks,
previous to sowing. This is importan
-neglect the time, and nine times out o.
ten, you will have more or less smut
which will depreciate the value OF the
wheat.
Preparation of Ground, Seeding, dc
The ground, if rich and strong
enough. may be sown after peas: 9th.
erwise, after summer fallow. In either
case, manure on the surface, and plow
or drag in with the wheat. 1 prefer Il
use about fifteen loads TO the acre thur
prepared; then, after sowing thinly, tC
plOw it in. The seed, by coming il
immediate contact with the manure, re-
ceives thrifty and vigorous start
which it otherwise would not attain
This think is highly important to in,
sure success. have never used th,
drill, but in its stead, Ide's cultiyator
which answers a good purpose. Ifyor
harrow in the seed, 10 no case roll af
tarwsrds, IS the inequalities of the sur
face will prevent the snow from blowing
of, and the plants will be less liable t
be affected by frost. But if covered
with drill or cultivator, this precau
ton is unnecessary, the seed being 81
much deeper, and the roots less ex
posed. When the ground is settled il
spring, go over with heavy roller; j
covers many exposed roots, and offer
adds five to seven bushels per acre.
Have the ground well pulverized fol
sowing; it is useless to SOW on lumpy
and badly prepared soill In case there
is no manure 10 be had, cover the sur.
face immediately after sowing, and be.
