To Raise a Good Crop of Wheat.

81 have made up my mind Of one
point" says the Deacon ''it docs not
pay to SOW wheat unless the ground is
in good order, and rich enough to pro
duce a good crop" Good for the Dea-
con! I think thousands of farmers
have had this truth brought home to
them by the results of the present wheat
harvest. The difference in the crops on
good and poor land was never more
striking. I saw wheat to-day (July
74th) in a field planted with apple trees.
Some manure had been spread for two
or three feet round each tree. Here
the wheat was four or five feet high, the
straw stiff and bright, and the heads
well filled. On the rest of the field the
wheat was not over eighteen inches
high. 1t was thin on the ground, the
straw fimsy, and the heads empty. 1t
would not yield five bushels per acre,
and the wheat would be good for moth
ing but chicken food.
1 have made up my mind to SOW my
wheat early this Fall, two bushels to
the acre, and drilled in pretty deep.
Then as soon as it is well out of the
ground, I will harrow it with Thomas
harrow every three or four days, to see
if I cannot kill red-root and other
weeds. Narrowing in the spring will
not kill red-root plants. But in the
Fall, just as the weed-seeds germinate, |
see no reason why the harrow will not
kill them. At any rate, mean to give
it thorough trial, and I wish others
would test the matter.
We must d. som,th to destroy the
weeds on our farms, and we should try
every method that commends itself to
ur;judgment- The great aim should
be to kill them before they get to the
surface, or soon after as possible

O'Conn0r Yet Alive.

A gentleman by the name Of O'Con-
nor-Charles O'Connor-a lawyer Of
some note, Democrat by claim and
party record, astraight-out, ,Blanton-Dun-
can, Grant-supporting, hard-shell Dem
ocrat; the nominee Of the forlorn hope
of the Democratic division of the Ad-
ministration army, has been airing his
vanity and his patriotism in letter, os-
tensibly written to one James Lyon, Of
Virginia, but really to "the whole world
and the rest of mankind"
In this remarkable production Mr..
O'Connor proves to the world "afore-
said," that his wits have "gone a wool
ing" that there is a screw loose in his
.s:tntal, moral and political machinery,
and unless his friends care for him, he
will soon erect heathen funeral pyre
and immediate himself upon it.
The letter is remarkable for the terms
e'desolation," disastrous" ""war, ""bloody
chasm," "fratricidal slaughter" "debt,'
characterization" folly "mischiev.
ous," ''inexpressible aversion" &C., &C.
But the grand climax is found in the
heroical, the selfabnegating spirit Of
martyrdom with which he closes. As
theblood of martyrs is said to be the seed
ofthe church, thevolu UNFAIRLY lyofered body
and life of O'Connor may become the
salvation of the administration, and, la
boring under that defusion, we may yet
hear of a sacrifice to some modern polit
ical deity, unless O'Connor's friends fine
him a comfortable place in the Bloom
ingdale insane asylum, where he can be
restrained. Think of a sane man writing
this sentence: -
off the ideas of heather times pre-
vailed, would cheerfully surrender my
person as a sacrifice on the altar of thai
deity whose controlling events might
thus be propitiated, and induced to save
my country from the impending eyil.'''
The impending evil being the election
to the Presidency of honest Horac
Greeley. The friends of Mr.. OConnor
if he has any left, shouldrejoice that tn
"ideas of heathen times" in the matte
of immolation, do not prevail, even il
New York. 'Twould be dangerous 70
some others besides Mr.. O'Connor,
they did, for Tweed might be induce
z to offer his burly body as sacrifice 70
the sins of his soul. His friends ca
rest assured that he would not lik
O'Connor, offer that Precipitation for an
one else.
How grateful "Uncle Horace" shoul
be, upon witnessing such hard.shell dc
yotion!

The Paris papers announce that
when the Assembly resumes its
sittings, an effort will be made to
make NJ. Thiers President Tor life,
create an upper chamber, and the
office of Vice-Presinent ; to remodel
the Assembly and modify the elec-
tion laws by restrictions on universal
suffrage. 1t is supposed that this
will give stability to the republic.
In view of the manner in which
Gambetta's republican ideas are
popularity received, and the infam-
mable material Of France, such an
effort would likely produce another
revolution.
