breed; while even a little observation would
teach them the error of this conclusion. and
that each grain produces its own like, and
that really no hybridization takes place at
all, and that the mixture Of seeds produces
the unmitigated evil of mixing wheats which
perhaps ripen at different periods Or perhaps
require different treatment when reduced to
flour. Z.
A little study of the nature of plants
would seem to be necessary to a knowledge
OF their proper treatment during their
growth. Of the flowers of plants some are
male and some female. In some the stami-
nate and pistillate flowers occupy different
parts Of the same plant, as in Indian corn.
In the larger number of plants, the male and
female organs mature at the same time in
the same flower and Of these some are
subject to Standardization and others to
cross-fertilization Such plants as pease,
beans, wheat and barley have the male and
female organs in themselves, and are not
subject to cross-fertilization; and therefore
it is that wheat do not mix their qualities at
all by being planted together; and as it is
Objectionable for other reasons, it should
never be done. The leaf or flower which
protrudes from the glume Of wheat is neither
an anther, a pistil, nor a stamen, and neither
emits nor receives the fertilizing pollen

GOOD VARIETY OF WHEAT.

Mr.. w. M. Powers, of Shedd's, Linn
county, Oregon, informs us that three years
ago he received from the Patent Office
the label of which was partly destroyed,
but which he thinks was called & White
French Wheat This he sowed, cultivat-
ing 1.-two years Last year he was about to
abandon it, as it was growing on swale
land and badly mixed with Chile Club, SO
thought it not worth saving, but one day he
happened to notice that while the oats
growing with it were Of little account and
the Chile Club was not filled at all, this
white-bearded wheat was perfect. I'M
pressed with the value Of wheat that will fill
and y4sld wen where other best varieties
fail, Mr. Powers cut it with a scythe and
thresaasd out with fail, saving and clean
ing the bearded wheat, so as to have seed
for six acres that he sowed Oh the Goth of
May last from which he lately harvested
nearly or quite twenty bushels per acre,
which, considering the late sowing, and
character Of the land on which it was sown,
was a remarkable yield.
This variety is white, bearded wheat
and Mr. Powers experience is that it will
do well on all lands, except black beaver
land where it does not fill. It fills where
Chile Club and Sonora wheat fail /; the grains
are full, the yield large, and quality Of the
wheat is excellent. Mr.. Powers is inclined

WINTER OATS.

Having recently had letters Of inquiry
from Missouri, Indiana and Kentucky, rela-
tive to winter oats, where Qike here) spring
oats seem often a failure, it may not be I'M
interesting to say something regarding that
crop with us. Winter oats have been grown
in this county (Greene county, Tenn for
nearly thirty years, to some extent, but did
not attract general attention until the often
repeated failures of the spring varieties,
s-thinh hogan a dozen or more years since.
The great failure in that crop this year
seems to have destroyed all confidence in it,
and winter varieties will soon entirely super
sede those sown in the spring. We have
several varieties of the former, but that
mostly grown here was originated in this
county, thirty years since, by the late Rob
ert Henderson, who found oats among his
wheat, which had been sown on oat stubble,
and sowing it again in the fall, and repeat
ing the practice, it became an established
winter variety, spreading slowly, because
spring sowing was then rarely q failure.
and "customs will govern us when their
cause is extinct"
This variety grows as tall as wheat, never
rusts, straw always bright, and grain much
heavier than any variety sown in spring. It
has attracted the attention Of the Agricul-
tural Bureau at Washington, and one hum
dred bushels have recently been sent there
from this county, for distribution, weighing
forty pounds per measured bushel. 1t is
also a good variety to SOW in early spring,
/ but the grain is, like other spring oats, not
so heavy. It should be sown in August or
| early in September. Indeed, some sow it in
. corn at the last plowing, the shade of the
corn delaying very much its early growth,
and often making it fair pasture. have
just finished ploWing in twenty acres on its
own stubble--a successful practice here
without any other seed than that left on the
land in harvesting. It., is the crop for ou1
poorest land.-Cor. Rural World.

CRcss-BREEDING G OF GRAIN.

In this age Of enterprise and thought,
when science is casting so much light upon
the operations of men, and when the study
of the best and most profitable modes of per-
forming the work of the world is becoming
more essentially necessary to the production
of successful results, the farmer is especially
called upon to bestow Industrious thought
as well as Iaborous labor upon the work
which he is daily called upon to perform. 1t
is not enough that he should know that
seeds cast upon the earth will germinate,
grow, ripen, and produce fruit, but that his
hand which guides, aids and stimulates this
natural process, should itself be guided by
the knowledge OF the nature Of the seed it.
self, how it germlnates, how it grows, how
it ripens, and how and why it produces
fruit. This knowledge will enable him to
give a right direction to the effort and labor
which he bUsto>va upon #, in order to obtain
the most profitable results. The thought
and conviction that frequent blowing ana
stirring of the soil is important to its
fertility, because the earth itself is set Of
mouths and lungs which feed upon the nat
ural elements Of the air, and iInbibe its
moisture, light and heat, induces him to the
performance Of the work in the promotion
of his own interest. That seeds are charac-
terized by good and bad is thought that
should always lead to a careful selection, for
as like will, throughout all nature, produce
like, SO will the hopes and fears OF the farm
er be realized by the character OF the seeds
he sows or the tree he plants. small and
shriyeled grain OF wheat, when sown, will
produce weak and unhealthy stock, and a
corresponding failure of product, while a
plump, bright grain will exhibit its healthy
and vigorous growth and abundant product.
1t is certainly true that many of the maxims
of farmers, upon which they thoughtlessly
base their action, have no foundation in
sound reasoning. That to change seed from
one kind of soil to another wilr produce 8
profitable result is maxim Of almost uni
yersal acceptation, nor does the farmer stoI
to reason with himself as to its soundness OF
fallacy. eFg SIS
4 Here is a point at which farmers fail tx
bring into requisition their own powers o
reflection, or even to use the evidence Q
their own practical experience. They Ok
not stop to inquire as to the effect of remov
ing seed from a soil and climate to which j
has been naturalzed and adapted to that t
which it is not natural and to which it ha
not been accustomed; and they fail to re
member that when they go abroad for seed
and pay a higher price for it, it is to obtai
quality better than their own and com
mansurate with the price thev nav for Il
and that herein lies its superiority; that
amounts to nothing more than an imperfeo
mode of selection.
Another maxim which farmers general
accept as an axiom is, that by sowin
wheats of different qualities together, the
will SO hybridize as to produce mike

beat in half the flour; then put the milk and

an ounce of mixed spices, such as cloves,
mace, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, beat

quickly.
son for drying sweet corn, send my pro-
cess: Pick the corn the night beforehand; ;
husk it in the morning, in order to give it
the benefit of the fire while the mornings
work is being done up. Cut the corn from
the cob. It dries quicker not to scrape the
cob with the knife afterwards. Put it into
pans and set it in the oven, with the doors
open, if the fire is brisk. Stir it often until
| it is thoroughly dried Spread it in the
sun. When sufficiently dry, put up in pa
per bags and hang up near the fire some
time, as it Is apt to gather dampness. Some
complete the process by the fire entirely,
but it requires more attention. The object
in scalding it and hurrying the drying is to
prevent the corn souring. In good weather
a batch can be finished in twenty-fonr
hours. Many housekeepers do not know
the luxury Of having dried sweet corn for 4
winter dish. TO cook it, soak over night in
cold water, then simmer on the stove until
tender, then season like succotash, wits
J cream and butter. The Minnesota sweet
corn is the best and earliest variety we have
ever tried.
