n EXPERIMENTS WITH WHEAT.

The Superintendent OF the Eastern
pennsylvania Agricultural College
Farm has been experimenting with six
ty-nine varieties OF wheat, the past sea-
son; and we presume that every pre-
canton was taken to have the expert
ment just and fair to each variety.
Many of the varieties are entirely un-
known to us, and the yield is all the
way from four bushels per acre up TO
thirty-seven and q fraction. This lat
ter yield was made by smooth wheat
known az the Rogers; the Tappahan-
mock gave nearly twenty-five bushels {;
Week's White and Rough and Ready
both went over thirty-two bushels ;
Red Chaff Mediterranean over thirty -one
bushels, aud French White ChaH Med
iterranean thirty-six aud q fraction ;
Witter, thirty-six and q half; Parker's
Italian, over thirty-four; and Russian
Amber, nearly thirty-one. Thirty-iwo
varieties, not named above, went over
twent bushels per acre.
This statement, which we find In the
Department Reports, gives no clue TO
the treatment the crops received ;
though this will, doubtless. be furnished
In The annual report of the College.
The Tappahannock has been cultiva-
ted in this State, to some extent; and
80 far as we have heard, the yield has
been uniformly large. one crop Of ten
acres over thirty EIGHT bushels per acre.
We are inclined to believe 1t will be
found TO be one of our most valuable
varieties. Ohio wheat-Rrowers have
told Us, however, that IL does not sue
coed well In that State.
Our wheat-growe do not attach
much importance to a change OF seed
but we believe that very much OF tht
success of wheat-grOwing Is due tC
frequent judicious changes Of seed.-

NEW IDEA ABOUT ToMAToEs.-P. E.
Bucks, Esq, In the Canada Farmer,
says the following plan is the right one
for raision early tomatoes:
"There is, however, no doubt in my
mind, from practical experience, that
cuttings taken from plants in the autumn
lust before freezing up time, stuck in
damp soil, and when well rooted re-
moved to six inch pots, kept In an at
mosphere of forty TO fifty degrees, and
water just sufficiently to keep them
alive during winter, and keeping the
shoots as they appear properly pinched.
and part OF the larger leaves, so as to
retard growth as much as possible, Is
the true way of obtaining the earliest
fruit. It will be found tbatif the plants
are well attended TO, by the spring they
will be thick and strong at the base, aud
as woody almost as a wall flower.
Crowding tomatoes as almost all gar
deners do, in hot beds, is decidedly the
wrong method, as no doubt many Of
them have found out. The hot bed
plants are weak and spindling. Many
put down seeds in this way SO early
that the plants run up TO the glass be-
fore the weather becomes sufficiently
warm to put them out in the opeI
ground, and the leaves either scorch OIL
become frost bitten. have seen many
frame of tomatoes for which / woulC
not give five cents for the hundred
plants in them"

are also great value in those affections which

THE HORRIBLE FAMINE IN PERsIA.-A
correspondent of the Levant Herald, writing
from fabreez, April 80, gives an account Of
the famine, which goes to confirm ths later
telegraphic news Of extremities to which the
people have been reduced. The writdr says
The details which reach US here pf the
destitution and misery which the drought Of
last season has caused in the centrpl and
Southern provinces of Persia are farfully
heart-rcnding. That the people are dying
of hunger even in the streets Of the capital is
a minor phase of this terrible calamity. In
Khorassan parents are selling their children
as slaves to the Turcomans in order to keep
them alive, and in Ispahan, as is said, man
have been seized in the act of digging up
the corpses to serve as food for their starving
families. In Shiraz-kerman and; Yezd the
wretched sufferers endeavor to support Life
on the grass and roots which they may find
in the neighborhood, and, as might be er
pected, pestilence follows hard On the foot
steps of famine; between them, the half pt
the Kingdom Of Persia is being rapidly do
populated. IL.
