IMPROVING WHEAT AND BARLEY.

In citing Maj. Hailett's statement
that he had raised 2l6 bushels Of wheat
on three acres on which one bushel Of
seed was planted, in an article under
the heading THE improvement of our
Cereals" by leaving out the word of
the sentence reads that the 2l6 bushels
were the produce of zone seed" With
out this error of the type, the state
ment is quite large enough; for the har-
vest of 2l6 bushels from one of seed, by
the acre, is over twenty times the aver
age obtained in Great Britain. One
bushel of barley planted on four acres
gave 32S bushels, or 50 to the acre.
The report from the Agricultural
Department for September contains a
paper On the experiments and improve
ments of Maj. Hallett, In which we
find the following judicious remarks:
"Such is the interest taken in this
subject in England that the Midland
Farmers Club at Birmingham appoint
ed deputation of its most distinguish.
ed members to visit the farm of Mai.
Hallett for the purpose of making a
personal inspection of his growing
crops, his pedigree, barley and oats, as
well as wheat. This examination was
made on the 10th of July, 1874, and
the report of this deputation to the
society was highly satisfactory 1t ap.
pears TO have been established beyond
a reasonable doubt that & pedigree
In its capacity to transmit powers OF
production is as certain as that of Z
horse for swiftness of speed, or that OF
a COW for her quantity and quality Of
milk"
A moments reflection will satisfy
the reader that, if offspring did not
follow their parents in form, organs and
function, by a law of nature al
distinct species, orders and classes OF
plants and animals would soon be lost

FARM AND GARDEN.
sHIPnENT OF FRUIT.

At a meeting of the Western New
York horticultural Society, Mr.. Hoag,
from the Committee on the Shipmentof
Fruit, reported that from statements
obtained from members Of the Society,
100000 barrels of apples were shipped
from Niagara county. and 100000 from
Monroe county, the past season. These
counties have a hmestors soil, the
underlying rock being generally the
same geologieally as that of Davidson
county and others in Middle Tonnes
see. We shonld be happy TO chronicle
the shipment Of 100000 barrels of
apples from Nashville in year, the
growth of the county of which it is the
capital; nor is such hope unreason-
able In one who owned the old GeHesee
Farmer, and edited it, IN Monroe
county at the time many of these
large apple orchards were planted.
There are very enterprising
nurserymen near Nashville as
there are in the neighborhood of Roch-
ester, the county seat of Monroe coun-
-ty, NY; and to the latter no small
credit is due for the ability of the far
mers of a few counties to ship apples
by the million barrels a year. The
nursery men of Davidson county
should have patronage that Will ena-
BILE them to produce apple trees at a
low figure by the million. Twenty-Five
years experience in the South has
taught us that the Shockly is probably
our best keeper. There are single far
mers who will haze a thousand barrels
of winter pears to sell this fall, which
will bring a handsome sum of money.
Grapes and other fruits have grown to
be very large interest.
The Southern States have many
advantages to invite industry
and enterprise in this direc-
ton, especially in raising pears,
The experience of Mr.. Smith, of SYRIA
cuse, in growing pears free from cracks
on ground that overfowed, while trees
standing on higher land near by had
diseased fruit, shows that the water
kills the living germs or eggs of this
malady. What a,e- they? Time viii
reveal. Flooding ground for the pur
pose of irrigation often destroys In
sects in great numbers; and this fact
Will tend to promote the construction
of large ponds and reservoirs of water
to drown these pests, as well as t.
moisten and fertilize the soil. Water
is power to kill enemies and multiply
friends on the farm, in the service o.
science, art and industry.

held her baby up under the Indifferent light OF
