THE CULTIVATION OF SPRING WHEA

THE CULTIVATION OF SPRING WHEAT.
Land must be In state ofexcellent fer
tilty, or it will be useless to attempt to
raise either winter or spring wheat. The
wheat plant is dainty feeder. More than
this growing wheat must have the benefit
of the entire ground. Some plants will
dispute their right to their right to foot
hold in the soil, even with rank weeds.
But the wheat plant is Of such a delicate
nature, that even the young grass and
clover which start up among the growing
crop, often retards the complete develop
ment Of the grain. The character of a
farmer is often estimated by his success,
or failure in the culture of wheat. That
tiller of the soil who can produce paying
crops of wheat, and at the same time
maintain the fertility of his land, is en-
titled to the appellation Of a progressive
farmer Wheat land must be well manured
with such fertilizers as will produce grain
as well as straw. Hence, the manure that
is made of the litter Of fattening animals,
or of teams that consume large quantities
of grain, or meal, if applied to the land
where wheat is to be cultivated, will sell
dom fail TO render material in producing a
paying crop of grain. Unless barnyard
manure has been composted, it will be
better always to fertihze wheat land several
months prior to the period ofseeding, as
coarse unfermented will not supply the
delicate wheat plants with the plant food
that is required. a.-
If one has clean and rich field, where
Indian corn or potatoes were raised last
season, by procuring seed OF a choice quail.
ity, he may raise a paying crop of spring
wheat. Many proprietors ofseed stores in
our populous citrs have large supplies of
pretty good seed. By running the grain
through tanning mill slowly, with heavy
blast, and by stepping it in brine, all the
oats and light kernels of wheat may be
separated with very little labors
In case the land Is inclined at all to be
wet Wheat cannot be cultivated with profit,
AS the delicate plants will not flourish
luxuriantly where there is an excess of
water. Growing wheat likes soil in
which there is liberal supply of available
inorganic matter. Hence, lime, and wood
ashes will be found excellent fertilizers on
wheat land. Gypsum, or plaster often
will exert an important influence on the
growing wheat on some kinds of soil;
while on other land, it will not pay to sow
any amount per acre. For this reason,
every farmer should understand the char
acter of his land.

The GREAT ILLINOIS FARMER.-The
Chicago Tribune has the following about
John T. Alexander, the great Illinois far
mer, whose reported failure turns out not
to be true after ALL
The failure of John II. Alexander, the
most celebrated stock raiser and large
farmer of Illinois, is reported by the
Prairie Farmer. The amount of liabilities
is placed at 100000, and of assets
larger sum, the inference being that the
assets are not Immediately available to
satisfy the claims of creditors. Mr.. Alex
ander is one OF the Alexander brothers,
whose operations in blooded stock, especi-
ally thoroughbred horses, in Kentucky,
have been so extensive as to give them a
national reputation. His $4,000 acre
farm in Morgan Co, Illinois, and his
Broadlands farm of Is, 900 acres in Fort
Co., are, probably, the envy of all north
western farmers and those who only
know Mr. Alexander by his connections
with these farms will, doubtless, be prompt
to comment on the condition into which
they have brought their owner. Some
will Immediately observe that the cause
which made this Alexander fail is the same
as that which made his historic namesake
of ancient times weep.-viz., the thirst for
territorial aggrandizement. Others will
opine that Alexander has come to grief,
through fostering false demand for fancy
stock, and not getting out of the way
before the bottom dropped out. But the
fact, VT believe, is, that MIR. Alexander's
farming operations have been largely pro-
ftable, while it is his enormous specula-
tons in beef, at the South, which have
brought his present strait upon him. His
dealings every year are several times the
amount of his present liabilities, and he
will doubtless be going again on a solvent
basis, retaining his two great farms (the
rumored sale of Broadlands for 100000
having fallen through and enjoying the
congratulations of his fellow agriculturists,
who point with pride to the millionaire
farmer as brilliant oxanPlo OF the oePe

CROSSING DOMESTIC ANIMALS The
product of judicious cross between two
animals of distinct breeds will often be
found more valuable for certain purposes,
than full blooded animals. Judicious cross
breeding usually gives an increase of size,
earlier maturity, and an Inclination to
fatten satisfactorily than many other ami
mails that are full-blooded. The largest
and finest fat bullocks that are sold in the
New York cattle markets, are cross
breeds, showing liberal infusion of the
Durham, Hereford, or Devon blood. The
largest and best mutton sheep also that are
sold at the sheep markets, are not fall
blooded- they are the products of a judi
cious cross. The very best gallinaceous
fowls for the production Of eggs, are the
product Of some excellent cross, usually
between large full blooded rooster with
good hens which are product of judcious
cross If, for example one possesses few
good hers whose external appearance does
not Indicate the infusion of the blood of
any particular breed, by employi ing a full
blooded rooster of the Bramah, or Creve
Cuur fowls, he would be certain to obtain
excellent layers, and fowls possessing
desirable characteristics for the table.
II is important when crossing horses
neat cattle, sheep or fowls, that the male
shouldbe larger than the female, and should
Rave those points and characteristics we'll de
veloped, which it is desirable to reproduce.
1t is admitted by all good breeders of do
nestle animals, that the male parent-ir
full blooded-wil influence the size of the
progeny more than the female, while the
female if strong and possessed of good
constitution, will influence the vital powers,
stamina and the general health more than
the male. There will be exceptions, how
ever, to this rule. Yet the full blooded
male when crossed with females not SO
highly bred as he will almost always trans
nit to his progeny, much larger proper
ton Of the desirable points than the female.

THE CULTIVATION OF PEPPERMINT.
e. w. Sylvester of Lyons, New York,
being introduced to the Club Submitted the
following suggestions touching the cultiva-
ton of peppermint, and distilling the oil.
He said; +sHA.f ~
You will perhaps, be pleased to learn
that peppermint is an important farm pro-
duct, and serves instead of gold to pay
our foreign Indebtedness. There is sold
annually, from region within ten miles
from my residence, $500, 200 worth of pep
permint oil, large proportion of which
is consumed in England and on the con-
tinent of Europe, and this oil is the product
of land nearly worthless for any other crop
except willows, and one half of the labor
employed is that of old men, women, and
children, which cannot be made available
to large extent on farm. Hence the
mint grower, instead ofmaking two blades
of grass grow where one grew before,
makes bright dollars grow where none
grew before.
Mr.. Sylvester then proceeded with an
able and exhaustive discussion Of the soil
best adapted to the cultivation of pepper
mint, the best method of preparation and
cultivation, and various other points con-
nected with its culture, which is unavoid
ably crowded out by the pressure upon
our space.
