L. G. Edwards, Baltimore correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman, writes "A
farmer friend of mine in Virginia has told
me how he keeps off the rust in wheat. He
procures good healthy wheat for seed, (elther
white or red, and then makes solution OF
blue stone (sulphate of copper as follows !
To every -four gallons of water, lie puts one
pound blue stone. He then mixes or dis
solves the blue stone as well as he can, and
then puts it on to boil-allow it to boil three
or four hours-then takes it off and allows
1t to COO After it is cool, he sleeps the
wheat IN it, say twenty-tour hours, and then
pours of the ISOLATION and puts the wheat on
The barn floor to dry little before it is put
into the ground. A half barrel that will hold
about three or four bushels, is u nice thing
to put blue-stonc solution in and to- steep the
wheat in.
"After the wheat is partially dry, there
will be q crust on the kernel that seems Ia
head off most diseases that befall wheat. My
friend usually uses some good superphos'
phate Of lime when he seeds his wheat. lie
advises that the wheat that has been thu:
treated, be seeded as soon after as convent

Successive observations and experiments
with reference to consumption affirm the be-
lief that II is contagious. Prof. Chauveau,
OF the Lyons Veterinary school, has made
some important invesii cations on the sub
iect. Tubercle, it will be remembered, is pc
cular formation, which being deposited IN
the substance of the lungs, like millet seeds,
gradually enlarges, by accretlon to lis Ike,
into masses of various sizes. While the pro-
cess is going on, the symptoms oil pulmona-
nv consumption, with lis cough, hectic lever,
SC show themselves. How and under
what conditions OF the animal economy Is
tubercle formed, has beena question not yet
satisfactorily solved. AS general thing we
can say that whatever tends 10 weaken the
body by interfering with healthy digestion
and the making OF good blood, predisposes
| to the formation OF lubercle. 1t is only of
| late times that this substance has been ad-
mitted to be propogatcd on occasions by
cOntagion and incubation. For long time,
however, tie people Of the south OF Europe
entertained the belief that consumption is
contagious, and that the infection might ex-
tend TO the clothes and bedding OF the pa
tient, and hence after his death these articles
were ordered TO be burned.
Mr.. Chanveau purchased four handsome
heilcr1, and he tubercuiizcd three OF them
by causing them to swallow an ounce OF tu-
hcrculous matter taken from the body OF an
old phthisical cow The result was wonder
fully rapid. AT the end Of twenty days the
first COW had lost flesh to a surprising extent;
its pulse was quick and full, and it coughcd
incessah,y. Al the end of stly-two days il
was killed. and it presented perfectly malket
tuherculous changes, especially about tht
mcsenlcry, or that part through which th'
chy0us vessels pass from the small intes
tines to the duct that empties It's content!
into the Great vein near the heart. The i'll
tts.ines ul The aliual were also iuberculous
The lung was full of crude tubercle. Th'
other two tritrrs exhibited not less perfect,
; marked alterations, while the fourth, II
which none uf the tuberculous matter ha'
