Salt 10 Keep weevr from Wheat.

1t is said by those who have tried
it, that they never lost any wheat
by weevil after sailing it. The
wheat should be allowed to stand in
the field in shock ten or twelve
days, when it should be threshed,
famed and sailed. Half pound
of salt is the quantity generally
used TO bushel of wheat. If the
room, or granary, in which the
wheat is put away, is dry, by fol-
lowing this method of sailing, the
wheat is sure to keep well. Wheat,
when put up in the usual way, will
always diminish in bulk as it gets
old, and many persons consider
that il will not yield as much, or rs
: good flour, as when it was fresh
from the field. Be this as it may,
the diminishing iii bulk TO which
wheat is subject, is prevented by
sailing in the manner above stated
The best salt adapted to this pur'
pose is that brand known as The
"Kanawha Salt" This salt il
preferable, on account of its all dis
solving, and being soon absorbed
by the wheat. For the first eigh
or ten days after sailing, the wheat
if examined, will be found some
what damp; but if examined fey
weeks later, it will in all cases b
found perfectly dry, having kcp
cool all the time.

How 20 Keen Batter Sweet.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to keep butter sweet. Simply put
it in clean jars, and cover with 8
strong brine. This will keep your
butter a year, fresh and sweet, as
we know by experience. 1t is
almost equally good to put in oak
casks, headed tight. This is equiva-
lent to canning fruit. The brine in
case ola jar acts as heading, keep
ing the air out. But butter should
be made well; we have never ex-
perimented on poor butter. Work
J out the buttermilk till you have only
pure "beads" clear as rain-water ;
but do not work so much as tC

The Cause OF smut I'm wheat.

10 the Editors OF the Union and American.
There have been many reasons
adduced for this disease, but none
have proved satisfactory. Some
contend that it is produced by
faulty grains, etc. During the
present season l have experimental
with wheat to find if possible the
cause of smut. l think l have
found one cause that produces it.
During the past season l took up
thriving wheat plants as soon rs
they had covered the ground and
transplanted them in the same soil
as that from which they were
taken; others l transplanted before
they had jointed; others 1 trans
planted after the plant was fully
jointed, and the result was that
every plant produced head, every
grain of which was smut.
My theory is this, that when the
tap-rOOtis destroyed by freezing out,
smutty wheat is the result. If 1 am
wrong, will some of your reading
farmers set mo right? l am fully
convinced this is one cause, viz. {:
the transplanting of the plant by
the action of the frost, and the COM
sequent destruction Of the tap
root. 1 will not say this is the only
cause, but / hold it to be one. If q
preventive can be found for this
disease, it will add largely to the
wealth of the wheat grower.

The Proper way 90 Use Blue Stone IN
Prevent Smut.
To the Editors Of the Union and American.
1t is unaccountabIe that farmers
have overlooked the value of blue
stone as a preventive ofsmut. The
proper way to use it, as laid down
in the Agricultural Report from the
Patent Office, for 1855 or 1856, is to
dissolve one and half pounds of
blue stone in three gallons of warm
water, and then pour the solution
on eight bushels of wheat, spread
on tight floor, and stirred with
shovel until every grain is wetted.
This is the way it is wetted in
Europe, where the remedy was
discovered. / have used it IL this
way for ten years, and have induced
many others to use it, and all agree
that it is effectual in preventing
smut. l always prepared enough
before breakfast for the days
sowing, and it is ready for use as
soon as it is stirred effectually. Be-
lieving this remedy will be useful
to wheat-growers, 1 ask that you
will publish it. A FARMER.

Turnfps.

As it is probable that corn will
be a short crop this year, prepare.
ton for meeting the deficiency
should be made as soon aspossible.
Turnips of various kinds are very
useful on the farm, as they not only
save hay and fodder, but are fire.
quently used in place of grain for
feeding all kinds of stock. For
growing animals they are in some
cases better than grain, and for fats
tening stock the Ruta Baga or Swe-
dish turnip is extensively used in
Europe, especially for stall feeding
neat stock, and some of the best
beef in the British markets is pro-
duced by cattle fed on Swedish tur-
nips and hay or oat straw, with a
small portion of oil, cake. White
turnips, although not very suitable
for fattening stock are good forage
for growing animals and are very
well adapted for sheep.
Every farmer should have few
acres of Ruta Bagas, and they
should be pretty far advanced in
growth at this time. 1t will be found
convenient to have large seed bed
of this variety of turnips for trans
planting in August and September.
The plants may be allowed to grow
until the bulb is as large as an egg.
The transplanting should be done
during showery weather, into well
prepared soil. Ruta Bagas, or tur-
nips of any kind, which have been
transplanted are more solid and
keep better than those grown in the
ordinary way.
Every vacant spot in the garden
and few acres in some clean wheat
stubble field should be freshened
up, MANFRED and sown with turnip
seed. 1t is much better to use
drill machine and SOW the seed in
rows than to spread it broadcast,
as the plants can be more easily
thlnned TO proper distance, anu
the soil between the rows made
mellow and freed from weeds by
the drill, harrow and hoe. The
manures best suited to turnips are
superphosphate of lime, ground,
crushed or dissolved bones, guano,
barn-yard manure or compost, wood
ashes, lime, plaster. The three
latter are most serviceable when
composted with muck, leaf-mould
or old saw-dust. A comparatively
small quantity of barn-yard manure
composted with seasoned muck in
June will make an excellent CONS
post for applying to soil in July
or August as manure for turnips.
The variety Of turnips best suit
ed for late cropis the Purple Top
Strap Leaf. The Early Dwarf Six
Weeks comes to maturity in a very
short time but is not of very good
quality and does not keep we'll.

who practice this mode of sailing
and saving wheat, are as follows
L. 1t preserves the wheat with
more certainty than summing:
/ 2. The wheat does not lose in
volume or weight by long keeping.
3. 1t makes more and better flour.
4. 1t costs much less labor.
5. The wheat is better for seed,
because it is preserved in a perfect

TRIBUNE ON OUR ELECTION


The NewYork Tribune is warm adj
vocate of the admission Of Virginia. 1t
holds that there is no law nor right to
prevent Virginia from resuming her
place in the councils of the nation. The
following from that paper is we'll wor-
thy of attention
Mr.. Walker canvassed the State upon
the broad platform of universal amnesty
with impartial suffrage. He everywhere
avowed himself friend of Genl Grants
administration, in favor of the fifteenth
amendment, and opposed to all disfran-
chisements or prescriptions of white or
black. By that sign he conquered. And
now he holds the same ground, and has
proclaimed himself since election ia favor
of universal education as we'll as univer-
sal suffrage and the Virginia journals
unite in resenting all attempts of North
ern democratic journals to represent the
Walker triumph as democratic victory.
Such are the circumstances under which
Gov. Walker presents himself at Wash
ington. He wants no offices for his
friends or his party, What he does ask
is that the Legislature of Virginia shall
be subjected to no test oaths that have
not been required of the Legislatures of
other reconstructed States, but that the
members shall assemble, take the oath
to support the Federal constitution, or.
ganize, ratify the fifteenth amendment,
and the members elect to Congress shall
thereupon be admitted to seats, and the
restoration of Virginia perfected.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

These are times of progress. The
old time notions have been left far be-
hind, and things have taken an entire
leap forward. Commerce, agriculture
manufactures, civilization, are all far in
advance of what they were fifty years
ago, and let us believe that other things
aro improving in proportion. Even
Virginia, with settlement of the
Anglo Saxon race dating $50 years back
we regard as yet young and growing;
for "a thousand years scarce serve t.
form a State"
We cannot close our eyes to the fac
that the immediate future is big with
portentous results to the former laborers
of the South; and in Virginia, however
desirable it may be that friendly feel
logs should be maintained towards the
colored race, there is great anxiety,
uneasiness and distrust existing towards
them in connection with the labor
question. In plain words they are
growing out of favor. People begin to
think that the friendly feeling is all on
one side,-and when they see, as they
did see, in the late election, that the
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-07-21

colored hands, as general thing, show
ed no regard for the interest of their
employers, the feeling intensifes, and
predisposes the public mind to look out
for cheaper, better skilled and more
reliable laborers.
On this account the proposal to OBJ
tain Coolie labor to build our improve
ments, till our lands, and fill our do
nestle employments, meets with Pc
cullar favor at this time; and we are
fully of the opinion that the experi-
ment should be tried; and under proper
regulations and a judicious system, we
have no doubt of its success. There
has been too much tampering with the
oauthern negro; his political masters
have inflated his mind with sense of
Importance and capability of govern
Ing, until he has become FESTIVE under
the restraints necessary to make his
labor available and profitable, while
they have also spoiled him with no.
tions of social equality. So far has
this influenced many of them, especially
servants, that they refuse the more
mental jobs of securing and scrubbing,
and such like, and stipulate against
them, often refusing situations where
such work is required. In this view,
many Of them become untitled for the
domestic duties which families regard
as requisites in their housekeeping; and
they will gladly avail themselves of any
faithful substitutes for such unwilling
and negligent servants. Here is the
danger, if the colored people will only
see it-that they may DO thrust out, and
their places filled by mora industrious
and tractable race--in which case they
will receive little pity, as their discard
will have been incurred by their own
misbehavior.

KOOPMA NSHOOP

The gentleman who rejoices in THE
graceful and euphonious name, and
also in the Office of Coolie contractor,
proposes to settle the labor question
which has become so mixed in the
South since Sambo became an alder
man, postmaster and Congressman.
Koopmanshoop (how Borie would swear
and shiver the timbers of the Flowery
Kingdom if he had to deal with such a
name) proposes to import Chinese
Coolies direct from China to the Southern
States in such numbers as to relieve
Sambo altogether from the degrading
occupation of picking and cane
growing. 1t seems that Koopmanshoop
is backed in his idea by influence in
high quarters. No less gentleman
than Senator Wade has expressed him
self in terms of admiration at the skill,
industry and docility of John China
man. 1t is not known whether the
doughty Senator is stakeholder in the
Chinense god factory recently establish
ed in Connecticut, but it is certain that
be is greatly pleased with Mr.. Coolie as
laboring machine. How happy ought
we Americans to be With Sambo to
relieve us from the annoyance of legis-
lation, and Mr.. Coolie to work our
farms, and fill up our manufacturing
and mechanical avocations, we may
realize that Utopian era which prophets
and kings desired so long, but died
without the sight Washington Ex-
press.
