Wheat and ITS Culture.

1t has been well said, "Ggricul-
ture is the precursor of all the arts
Of civilization, the foundation of
commerce, and the basis of nation
al wealth." and as it advances to.
wards science, the character and
intelligence of those who conduct
it, must undergo a steady improve
ment. None of our sensible far
mers will take umbrage at being
told that our past and present sys-
TEN of culture is far behind that of
many other civilised countries, and
that from these causes mainly,
many OF our crops fail to quit cost.
But there is no serious cause for
their encouragement, especially if
they will but avail themselves of
the information and means they
have at command, and. emulate the
praiseworthy examples of improved
farming that we have scattered
throughout the land.
But TO return to our subject
Wheat is both biennial and an an
nual plant, according to the climate
in which it is grown. With US, it
is cultivated successfully only as a
biennial. Investigation teaches us
that this plant has two sets Of
roots, styled the seminal and the
"coronal." The first named, spring
from the germ of the seed, and
serve to nourish the young plant
until the first joint has been form
ed, and from it, just before tho SUR
face of the ground, the second puts
fOrth-which growing slantingly in
the soil, contributes to its nourish-
ment.
Wheat has, properly speaking,
no tap root; yet the seminal roots
NAV be considered as answering in
its stead for they, in loose, sandy
soil, have been traced six feet or
more below the surface, evidently
in search of water. The two sets OF
roots are connected by what,
though below the surface, must be
styled the first joint of the stem
the length of which is governed by
the depth at which the seed is buried
in the earth. If this be shallow, no
coronal roots are thrown out. These
facts go TO show that early and deep
sowing is best for winter wheat /;
especially in protecting it from
those accidents and injuries which
are Occasioned by the frost laying
bare the roots or the freezes killing
them out The enquiry naturally
suggests itself, what is the proper
depth TO cover wheat? This will,
of course, depend on the character
of your soil, and the degree of pains
you have taken in preparing it and
the enquiry may be best answered
by giving the result of careful ex+
periments that have been made
published and authenticated. Ii
has been found all the (perfect
ones, of course, are meant) grains
sown at depth of l inch came up
of those at ., (; Of those at 3, I o
those at 1, J; of those at 5, Z; o
those at &, 7 and so on to II inches
at which point it entirely ceased Il
produce plants. Now, as these ex
periments were doubtless made il
/soil better prepared than our fielt
culture can be made, liberal allow

Good Old MARYLAND Ree,nes.

Mrs. NJ. Shepherd, of Anne Arun-
del county, Md, communicates the
following "good old Maryland re
cipes" to the Country Gentleman
CHICKENS IN PAsTE.-Make a crust
as for pies, and roll it out in cakes
large enough TO cover a chicken.
The chickens should be very nicely
picked and washed, and the inside
wiped dry; put in each a small
lump of butter, little salt, pepper
and parsley. Have the pot boil
ing, close the chickens in the dough,
pin them up in separate cloths and
boil them an hour. Unpin the
cloth in deep dish SO as not to
lose the gravy. Pigeons can be
cooked in the same manner.
CHICKEN PUDDING.-Make a bat.
ter of five eggs, milk, -four and a
little salt, cut chickens into joints,
grease a tin or earthen pan, and
lay the pieces in; put in some
Jumps Of butter, and season well
with pepper and salt; then pour the
batter over and bake it an hour.
Cold roast or boiled veal or lamb
makes very nice pudding done in
the same way; but the batter need
not be as rich as for chicken. Or
it makes a good dish, if you cut
slices Of ham after it will not doto
appear on the table; make a batter
as for other buildings, put in little
butter and pepper, and bake it in a
pan. The batter for all of these
puddings must only be a little
thicker than cream.
BLACKBERRY FLUMMERY.-Stew
three pints of blackberries with
one Of sugar. Soak a teacupful
of ground rice, or arrow ROTOR
good -four will do if the others are
not handy; and when the berries
have been stewing about fifteen
minutes, stir in the rice, and stir
the whole time until it becomes
thick. This should be eaten cold
with cream, and will keep two
days.
APPLE FLoAT.-To a quart of
stewed apples we'll mashed and
sweetened, put the whites of three
eggs well beaten. Beat well to-
gether for ten minutes, add little
nutmeg, and eat with rich milk or
cream.

Farm AND GARDEN.
FaII Planting.

The Southern Planter and Far.
mer of Richmond, advocates the
planting of fruit trees and vines in
the fall. That paper says: "our
autumns are late, our winters
short and mild, SO that the roots
OF vines, planted in October and
November, take hold of the ground
and grow frequently during the
greater part of the winter. Then
again, we are subject to long
droughts in summer, and these
often occur so early in the season
as to destroy vines planted in the
spring, before they get sufficiently
well started to enable them to resist
the dry weather. Experience is
the safest guide. Ours is,
that trees, shrubs, vines, roots, ETC.,
but more especially the small
fruits, succeed much better when
planted in the fall. We have never
lost five per cent. of fall planting,
while frequently fifty per cent. of
spring planting has failed, because
of early droughts. We often see
August recommended in Northern
journals as a good time to plant
Strawberries. This will not do
here. Our Septembers are too hot
and dry, October is generally too
dry, SO that November and Deem
Der are by far the best months for |
transplanting all kinds of nursery |
stock. We even plant our Seeding |
stocks for budding in these
months A"

Mr.. McNeely has placed up in the
public part of the Post Office a photo
graph picture of Postmaster General J..
All. CresswelJ, and his six Assistants.
Among the assistants is Mr.. Joseph H.
Blackfan of this city, Superintendent Of
Foreign Mails. The group makes a
very fine picture, all the men being ex-
traordinarily handsome specimens of
the genius homo.
The above is from the Trenton Ga
zette. AS to Mr.. Joseph Ell. Blackfan,
we shall never forget the many kind
nesses which he showed us during the
"three months campaign. 4" He was
never ashamed to have us "boys in
blue" call on him at his home. He al
ways insisted ON our remaining to din
ner or tea, as the case might be. BE-
sides, he and his family were always
glad to make room for us in their
church, pew, and not bit afraid of hav-
ing their clothes soiled by our Virginia
mul-5tained clothes. We are glad that
Mr.. Blackfan continues to be useful to
his government.

Part of the evening session was devo-
ted to answering questions, which had
been deposited in box at the door,
The topics referred to furnished an OPP
portunity for remarks from individuals
who were prepared by their peculiar
experience to respond. Large num-
bers of questions were handed in, but
rs the most of them were not of great
interest to the general reader, I will
not give them here.
Fridays session was harmonious and
interesting, the galleries being well

esq and impartiality, giving entire sat-
isfaction to every delegate. Gems,
Howard and Fisk, who proved such
gallant soldiers in the service of their
country, show themselves equally de-
voted to the cause of their common
Lord and Master. A spirit of true de-
votion seems to characterize all the del

fellow citizens could be in this charm

ceedings. The singing alone, is almost
enough to repay one for the journey.

The Cuban LibeFatOrs.
THE MIDNIGHT RAID ON NEW JERSEY.

On Monday night, ut about 8 o'clock,
the tug Rocket, with so marines and Is
sailo belonging to the receiving.ship
| Vermont, started from the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, under orders from Marshal
Barlow, for the purpose of breaking up
the new Cuban rendezvous at Waiver
ton, ON the Hackensack river, which
was fully described in The TRIBUNE of
yesterday. The marines carried mus
kets, the sailors clltlasses, and the
Rocket bore, in addition, her regular
ordinance-a brass howitzer. On reach
ing II point opposite the Elysian Fields
the Marshals naval feet lay to until
about the noon of night, awaiting sig
nails from the shore. In the course of
time light was displayed from the
northern end of the fields, and without
loss of time the forces were noislessly
landed. Marshal Barlow with num-
Der of his deputies received the
troops, and at once ordered an adj
vance. After tedious march Of
three miles or more, fankers were
thrown out, the ranks of the marines
kept we'll closed, and the sailors with
the howitzer ordered to be in readiness
for immediate action Then there was
a long halt, and after consultation with
the officers and the deputies, the Mar
shall ordered party of 30 picked men
to be sent toward the river to recon
hotter These moved forward with
alacrity, and soon reached the large
building in which the filibusters were
soundly sleeping. This was surround
ed by the marines, and II messenger
dispatched to bring up the reserve with
the artillery and the Marshal. AS soon
as the achievements reached the
building Marshal Barlow sounded n
call upon the front door of the belea
CURED mansion, whereupon the Cuban
patriots, aroused from slumber, rushed
for the doors and windows, and were
captured as fast as they emerged.
Some, however, escaped to the woods,
Many of the captured men were rough
ly treated by their captors, but are al
most unanimous in acquitting the ma
rines and the uniformed officers of any
thing like cruelty except under the or
ders OF their superiors in civilians
dress. Fifty prisoners were taken.
These were carried to the rear, I'M
der guard, and the house was then
searched from cellar to garnet with q
result not at all satisfactory to the Mar
shall. The assembly" was again
sounded, the troops fell in line, flank
ers were thrown out as before, and the
sailors with their little brass howitzer
brought up the rear. Down through
West Hoboken marched the victorious
little army with their crestfallen prise
ners, the astonished people all along
the route wondering what warlike PROV
ince OF New Jersey was now about to
lay siege to New York, or levy war up
on the brave people on the yon side Of
Hudson.
At last the troops reached the water
side and the little howitzer was tender
ly shipped aboard tho Rocket. Thea
the prisoners were put aboard and when
the marines and the sailors had secured
standing on deck, the Deputy Marshal
embarked and the tug steamed down to
Fort Lafayette where the captured men
were turned over to the commandant
and locked up with their fellow cap
tives from GARDENERS Island.
