LESS SEED WHEAT.

Upon examining authenticated state
ments in the annual reports of the Agri-
cultural Department, we see from the
experience of both English and Ameri-
can farmers, cases of marked success in
using much smaller quantity than
usual of seed wheat.
George Wilkins, in LONDON CuRoNI-
GLE, says: In fourteen successive crops
he has never sowed more than two
pecks per acre, and often less, always
put in with drill. Average yield for
the fourteen years was A bushels per
acre and two of the years he got Sc
bushels per acre.
Il. L. NJ. Cartwright, another English
farmer, with drilling two pecks to the
acre, he got % bushels and with SOW
ing one bushel he got only % bushels
in harvest.
Another, Hewitt Davis, with three
pecks of seed per acre, for several sue
cessive crops, he got at harvest an
average of 40 bushels per acre.
And here are some instances report
ed of the results of American farmers
with small seeding:
w. II. Stanton, of Georgia, in 1868,
sowed % quarts per acre, end got so
bushels at harvest
w. P. Shepard, Nelson county, Va,
from five pecks of seed got "a bushels
per acre, without fertilizers.
Charles Baldwin, of Michigan, in
1869, from one bushel of seed per acre,
harvested SO bushels
Augustus Fendal, of Missouri, in
1869, sowed 90 quarts per acre, and got
40 bushels.
1t may be seen, we think, by the
above, that much wheat is wasted by
putting too much on the ground.
When we carefully consider the struc-
ture and habit of head of wheat, we
may see the reason, to some extent,
why great quantity of seed is not
necessary, but injurious.
Frequent examinations have shown
that good heads of wheat generally con-
tain from SO to G5 kernels; while the
heads often contain nearly twice that
many cells, of which from 80 to so are
found to be empty, and do not get filled
out with kernels; but which, if they
did, would nearly double the usual
yield. And it is also found that those
stalks or straws which stand most iso-
lated are generally the best filled out
with kernels. From these facts, OBJ.
serving and intelligent farmers will
draw their own differences and shape
their own practice, as they shall think
it wise

Any farmer owning a drill can very
readily test thin seeding by planting an
acre or two on the side Of his wheat
field with three pecks of seed. If the
yield is only as much as sowing of
six pecks he may save three pecks in
seed for every acre planted, which will
more than pay for the drilling of the
crop,

why should Not Public Officers Per-

A vicious practice is rapidly growing up

too valuable TO admit OF their personal

table institutions for the occupancy ~ de-
cayed or incompetent politicians II used

to have from one TO half n dozen private
counsel employed. This is the ease even
in this city, where we have District At

most oncrous and difficult duties Of his
Office.
