rxpEa1MENr IN wHEAT CULTURE

The following report from "TAe
Carolina Farmer" dated at Maxey,
G eorgia. July 18th, 1869, is worth re-
me membering until the season returns
for preparing tor a wheat crop ; a.f
| lake the liberty OF giving, you the
result OF an experiment in wheat cul-
.ure lust concluded in this vicinity.
Mr.. Samuel Bally, of this piRce was tho
experimenter, and he has succeeded IN
raising nearly fifty-seven bushels OF
wheat from one acre OF ground. This
astonishing yield was produced asitold
to me, by the following means: 3gi...
In the first plrce, the land WAS thin
and exhausted d-had been In corn the
previous year, and by the use OF man
ure he succeeded in making seyeHteen
bushels ofthat crop on the acre. h ~
About the last week in last Octoper
he broke it up with stwo-horss Bsiniy
plow. Upon this he spread. Droadcass
sixtwo-horse wagon loads OF weli-rot,
| ted stable manure which was turned
| by GROSS plowing with the same plow.
| Upon this he SO we'd, broadcast, two
hundI ed and fifty pounds Of dissolved
| bone. which was narrowed i'll wl.h q
two-horse revolving harrow. he then
| sowed one hundred and twenty pounds
| of wheat on the acre and covered 1t
with a heavy brush, uisSscd over II py
two mules. The clods were beat down
with a maui in the absence OF . roller.
This was on the I'd of November.s IN
.he early part OF February, the wheat
being then about six inches high he
sowed broadcast top dressing OF TWO
hundred and fifty pounds amnloniated
phosphate. Late in March. when the
| wheat was in the boot. he applied two
hundred and fifty pounds of ammoliiat-
ed dissolved bone ana seventy I'VE
pounds of salt ground together. This
was applied early in this morning. on
the dew, one half the mixtue first and
the other half at the end OF the week.
The grain WAS cut oil with common
reap hook as 1t ripened In places, COM
mencng on the 4th OF june Thespro-
du ction of the acre was three thousand
four hundred and fifteen pounds OF
good wheat OF the variety known here
as johnson wheat. Mr. Bailv does
not know what tile six loads of stable
manure cost him but the prices OF the
others amounted to $27,55.
The land was manured and the waeat
threshed and weighed by disinterested
persons. NdshuiAe Union. ai1 4h

THE TRUNDLE BED

AS rumaged through the garret,
List'ning to the falling rain
As 1t pattered on the shingles,
And against the window pane,
Peeping over chests and boxes,
Which with dust were thickly spread.
Saw in the farthest corner
What was once my trundle bed.
And drew it from the recess,
Where it had remained so long,
Hearing all the while the music
OF my mothers voice in song,
AS she sung in sweetest accents,
What since have often read,
"Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
AS listened. recollection
That l thought had been forgot,
Came with all the gush of memory
Rushing, thronging to the spot,
AS wandered back to childhood,
To those merry days of yore,
When knelt beside my mother,
by this bed upon the floor. .4.
Then it was with hands so gently
Placed up my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said.
Never can they be forgotten.
| Deep are they in memory craven
"Hallowed by Thy name, Oh Fstherl
| Father! Thou who art in Heaven"
This she taught me, then she told me
of its import, great and deep,
| After which learned to utter
"Now they lay me down to Sleep"
