To the Editors Of the Union and American:
As the failure in the wheat crop is ex-
citing good deal of interest throughout
the country, and its cause speculative
theory, the discussion of the subject
through your valuable paper might lead
TO some light SIS TO it's real cause. 1t is
well known to farmers through this sec
ton of country that the introduction of
almost every new variety of wheat did
well the first few years of its production,
but gradually decreased in yield and value:
fresh impOTtai0nS and varieties tried IN
I'll We have exhausted the catalogue, and
find Ourselves at present almost ready to
give mp the production Of this great ap!e
and prom unCe it failure. This gradual
depreciation of the different varieties
do not think attributable to the effects of
our climate AMI soil, but to negligence in
sowing the best and purest grain,
and the habit practiced by our
grandfsthers of seeding wheat after
corn, while it is a well demonstrated
fact, that wheat sOwp on fallOwed clover
or weed land, produces from one to three
hundred per cent more than when fol-
lowing corn. On the other hand, corn
planted after wheat sown on good fsllow
will yield from ten to forty per cent.
more than when planted on the fallow and
the, wheat reserved to follow it.
Corn is one of the mast exhaustirc
crops to the soil we produce, and it is
not reasonable TO suppose that after so
much of the fertilzing element is with
drawn to mature the corn crop. that
enough remains to sustain q vigorous and
healthy growth of wheat Our best
wheat and largest yield is generally from
our tobacco land, from the fact of select
ing the best lands for this plant, and The
thorough preparation in working the
crop.
The almost total failure of the present
season l think attributable more di-
rectly to the fly than to any other

lance of a road TO Nashville. Many ia
telligent men here are not disposed to in
vest in the proposed Cumberland and
Ohio Railroad, mainly, as gather their
reasons, because this city cannot control
it. Cincinnati is determined to have a
great Southern railroad under her own
control; she will rest contented with moth
ing less. That she will get it, no one can
doubt who knows the spirit, the energy
and the enterprise of her citizens.
HOW WE WERE RECEIVED.
The excursionists have spent in ming
ling freely with the business men of Gin
cinnati. Every where and by every body
they have been greeted with open-handed
and open-hearted kindness. These en-
cinnatians are live men, full of enterprise
and good men.
BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILROAD.
To-day dispatch FROM President Gar
rett, of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
was received by the Committee of Re-
ception, saying: SIT affords the Balti-
more and Ohio Company pleasure to fur
nlsh your guests, representing the press
of Tennessee, passes over its road to Bal
timore and Washington. The party
leave tonight over this road.
CINCINNATI HOSPITALITY.
When the excursionists came 10 pay
their hotel bills this evening, they were
informed that they had been settled by
the generous citizens of Cincinnati, whose
guests we have been for three days. Such
unbounded hospitality deserves conspicu-
Gus mention by the press of Tennessee.
The following resolution was adopted by
the excursionists this evening:
"Whereas, the Queen City of the West
has entertained the Press Association of
Tennessee with q generous hospitality
commensurate with her social and COM
mercial advancement; therefore,.
"ResolVed, That the Press Association
excursion party tender to the Mayor aud
Aldermen, to the Board of Trade, and to
the Chamber of Commerce, and through
them to the people of Cincinnati, their
thanks for the princely Inequalities ex
tended to them, and that we shall always
cherish kindly recollections of our viait,
and 60 away impressed with the enter
prise, commercial activity and social worth
of her citizens"
The visit to Cincinnati will always be
a green place in the memory of those

FARM AND GARDEy.
TO PURIFY RANCrp uaRp.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tlemdn says lard that is rancid may be
made sweet, by adding after it is melted
teaspoonful of saleratus to every quart
of oil. Boil and skim off the crest that
rises, and strain through cloth.
A better way is to reboil the lard with
lime water-putting in about two gallons
of the clear lime water with twenty gal
Ions of lard and boil until all the water is
out. We have seen lard made perfectly
sweet in this way.

CURE FOR CABBAGE.

NASHVILLE, Aug. II, 1871.-The sui
ject OF cabbage worms having found its
way INTO your paper, and as your friend
has made suggestion of a remedy that
cannot be applied at this season of the
year, allow me to introduce aremedy that
is in the reach of every farmer. 1t is no.
thing more or less than weed called
Pennyroyal. Insert 8 small bunch of this
weed in the bud of the cabbage, about
orce week, commencing now at this
season. 1t is sure preventive. This is
no mere hesTsay, but my Uwn experience.

PROTECTED CUBAN COLONY IN
VIRGINIA.

The Lynch5urg Republican says: Il
viii be bit of fresh intelligence TO read
ers hereabOuts that q project is on foot,
and successfully maturing, we are in
clined to believe, which looks to the ia-
PRODUCTION of considerable number of
Cuban families into Fauquier county, in
this State. The proposed immigrants are,
for the most part, of the best social class
of that island, and, no doubt, will invest
largely in lands ard the sppurtenauces
for agriculture, if they be induced
TO locate in any part of our
State. OF such is the immigration that is
most desirable in the South. The Cubans
are tired of living under the bane of
Spanish despO!ism; they see their own
island torn with dreadful war, her social
aud political systems turned into license
and anarchy, and when they cast about
Tor new homes and more inviting sur.
rOundings they can have in view nothing
short of permanent settlement. These
people have money, industry, AID, what
is perhaps equally as important, they are
not divided from Us by political gaps Dor
differences of political faith. These fsc;s
we gathered in recent interview with
MIR. 5. N. Casanova, Cuban gentle
man, and prominent farmer of Fauquier
county. Mr.. Casanova is hopeful OF the
success of the scheme, a hope which we
are disposed to cordially share, with the
added wish that the Cublns, driven by
the fierce accident of war, from their
beautiful islsnd may find in Virginia a
pleasant and effectual substitute for the
homes which they are forced to abandon.

CRAPS AND WINE CULTURE.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
The subject of grape growing and wine
making has in all ages occupied promi-
nent place before the public mind, and
has continued to swell in importance as
civilization, art ard literature have adj
vanced, SO that to-day it is regarded by
some nations as second to scarcely any
other branch of industry. 1t mas also ar
rested the attention of the philanthropisis
OF all civilized nations. They have con-
sldered 1t in relation TO the social and
nlordt interests of society, and, perhaps,
when considered in this light it becomes
subject OF paramount importance to
our whole country.
drunkenness is q curse that has swept
over our country like 'besom of de-
Structlon." In its fearful track are to be
seen the stricken forms of our noble
youth, mature mankind and those bend
ing under the weight of years. Good
tmen have met in council to arrest this
bGghting curse; temperance organizations
have been formed; stringent laws enacted;
public conventions called to frown it
down; the Christian world ia exerting its
power against it; yet, while they have
done much TO arrest this evil, its devas-
tating tread is still felt; it is yet fearful
and defyiDg power in our land. The moral,
social aud industrial interests of society
imperatively demand that all available
agencies be brought to bear TO break up
and destroy this dreadful evil. And now,
sir, l lay down the proposition. deeply
Impressed with the correctness of it, that
wine-making will prove powerful rem
edy against drunkenness in any country.
All travellers in wine-groWing countries
unite in saying that drunkenness is sell
dom seen there, although vast quantities
of wine are used daily by the inhabitants.
In fact, carefully compiled statistics on
this subject show that in the Empire {
France the amount of wine used aver .oe
