WHITE WHEAT---THREE VARIETIES.

What is wanted by the farmer who de-
pends on his farm for a living, and who has
no time or money to invest in experiments,
is sort of wheat that has been tried in this
climate and soil, and is found to be adapted
to them. Such wheat is the Seneca or
Clawson, as it is also called, white wheat
which originated With farmer named Claw
son, of Seneca county, New York, seven
years ago. In its earlier days, it was named
by Pennsylvania scotsman, Early May
Red Chaff White " wheat, for the abolition
of which lengthy names thanks are due to
somebody. The same wheat has also been
called Eureka, but public favor seems to be
concentrating on Seneca as the future nam
for it.
The Seneca is white wheat. with SMOOTH
head. red chatf. and long straw; thrifty
grower and thoroughly hardy. 1t came

IIIE following essay upon the agricutll-
tai and stock-growing advantages of Mon
tana, was read by the editor of this paper at
the last session of the Territorial Grange:
Montana, the most isolated of the Ameri-
can States and Territories remote from the
seaboard without the great iron thorough
fares which are the equalizers of sections :;
her only great natural hig hway, the Missouri
river, navigable only few months in the
year; traversed by lofty chains Of snow
white mountains; to the casual observer is
possessed of but few inducements to the
husbandman. But attracted hithed by a
thirst for the precious metals With which her
gulches and mountains abound, we have
found her valleys to be fertile and capable of
yielding as rich returns for labor as any por-
ton of the Union. With climate more
healthy and less rigorous than any country
of her latitude; pasture lands in quantity
and quality unexcelled; and thousands of
Eivulets brooks, and rivers, affording I'M
alnsited water power, we have facilities not
elsewhere to be found. Yet with all these
matural advantages, our agricultural popu-
lation are not enjoying SO great a degree of
prosperity as in less favored localities.
Let us develop our resources and utilize
Our water-poWers by the erection of manu-
factories We need a paper mill to work up
our rubbish; a beet sugar manufactory to
supply our wants in that line, and a woolen
mill to convert our wool into fabrics.
BY proper disposition Of our products,
Il
Increased. Besides the increase Of consum-
crs 0ccasned by the erection of manufacto-
ries, such IS would yield handsome income
and at the same time lessen the rates of liv-
ing; by a greater diversity of crops and
careful attention to horticulture, we can bet
ter supply our wants and thus save the cost
of transportation on many articles, as we'll
as furnish MS more employment. Bacon apd
pork should be produced at home. Corn
for brea<lstutf which is regarded as a luXu-
ny here, can, in many localities, be raised
profitablS- A great many varieties Of small
fruit can be grown, in great quantity and of
superior qualty-yet we are supplied entire
ay with a fereign article.
We see Ro good reason why, by proper at
tention to the acclinaton of trees, large
fruits cannot be grown with as much success
as in our sister states of like temperature.
But what is most needed at present IS that
we study more closely and reduce more
thoroughly to practice, the science Of agri-
culture. Cultivate a less number of acres
and do it better; Summer fallow our lands,
or by the use Of fertilizers, keep them up to
their original capacity; Study the science OF
1rrigatiOn-hOw to water and how often, to
obtain the best results. The introduction of
artesian wells would be valuable, and in
many instances prove less expensive DIAN
long canals. Give more attention to stock

in winter. Provide food and shelter; re-
memberng the principles of our Order, to
protect the dumb animals from abuse. Shell
ter them from the driving storm. While
stock thrive and retain their flesh in newly
settled districts, in thcllly settled portions
Of the country, where the range is impov-
erished during summer, feed and shelter
should be provided. No stock grower should
pasture his winter range during summer,
but the high attitudes where the snow lies
deep in winter should be used and will be
when economy in range is required to be
exercised. Much loss could have been pre-
vented the past winter by a little prepara-
ton. In the future, therefore, let us profit
by experience. Feed cutters can be had at
reasonable rates, and a current wheel in any
of our streams would afford sufficient power
and at tritlng expense, to prepare the choic-
est food for beef and dairy animals. But
always brings good price in winter, and in
early spring when beef is scarce-when the
demand cannot be supplied from the frontier
by reason of impossible snowy ranges-our
farmers who engage in stock-raising Oh
small scale can find an easier and more prof
liable market for stall fatted cattle. BY con-
verting our products into beet, we would
more et1ectually eXemplify our principles Of
marketing on the hoof, and find it easier to
drive to market on foot than to wheel it in
the bushel.
Let us build up a sure and steady market
organize a simple, practical, yet complete
system Of cooperation; attend properly to
our educational interests; replenish our
libraries With useful books, and our minds
with practical knowledge; give the youths
and maidens Of our land q thorough agri-
cultural education; learn them the duties of
husbandman and matron; beautify our
homcs-they will love them-we will be
happy, and our brethren from the crowded
east will come and take fortune With us.
It is necessary that our noble Order be-
come co-eXistant with the agricultural pop
.ulation Of the Territory; that eighborhood
jealousies be laid aside, and that we meet in
the grange room as brothers and sisters
that sectional strife be buried, and that we
meet in Territorial capacity as one people,
looking to the interests of all.
10 accomplish this to aid in the dissent
nation of information peculiar to our locali-
ty; to furnish us With the best and latest
information, and our sons and daughters
with practical truths, and to enable ourselves
to confer with each other upon all subjects
of material interest, and profit by each
others experience; to proclaim to the world
our many advantages, and thereby encour-
age immigration, it is necessary that we
have a tirst-class agricultural newspaper
intelligently, cooperate to better advan-
tage, and could learn more Of each other
and our fraternal trust be strengthened.

FLOWER GARDEN.

Tree and shrub planting may be contin-
ued as opportunity and weather permit; as
rule, all the evergreen tribe are best plant
ed in early autumn, but deciduous trees from
now to the end of February. Thorns. Ii
lacs, Laburnums, Syringas, Tulip-trees,
Horse and Spanish Chcstnuts, and other
towering trees are not planted in half such
numbers as they ought to be. The rage for
Conlters seems to have thrown them into
the shade, and though this is aclass of plants
at all times worthy of admiration, the dam
ger Is that we shall soon have too much of
good thing. Herbaceous borders may now
at any time be rearranged and trimmed up,
dividing any kinds requiring it, and forking
and manuring the grounds. Usually bulbs
of many kinds are intermiXed in these bor-
ders, and therefore the operator will REQUIRE
to use great care not to iniure them: vacant
spaces may be filled in With Anemones, Ran
uncul11ses, Liliums, and Gladioli, all of which
Go well if planted at this season. Plant
hoses as soon as possible, if bloom is eX-
pected next June. Deep rich alluvial loan,
made rather firm, is the kind of soil in which
Roses delight, but such not being always at
command, the best substitute is to manure
freely, and especially by surface mulching.
Dahlias should be occasionally looked over,
and kinds requiring to be increased be at
once planted in pots or boxes, and put in
heat. Cannas are invaluable plants toy the
''subtropical" garden; old roots of these
may now be divided and started in gentle
heat; single crown will make large plant

above are easy of propagation where bot

given. Seeds of the following can be raised
with similar heat, and will, if sown now,

WERE it not for the Inconvenience and
amount OF care required to give the neces-
sary protection, great majority of the
homes in our cities and country towns would
doubtless, be made more attractive and
cheerful, during the dreary months of WIN
ter, by the presence Of beautiful plants and
flowers.
A cheap and easy mode of protection, and
one, too, which has proved et1ecual. as far
as tried, except where the house is very cold
or the weather extremely severe, is to place
the plants at night, before the room has be
come cool, in a compact form on the floor or
table, and then encircle them with a stiff
board paper, such us is used for buil,lpr
purposes. of sufficient width to enclose the

Wheat-one that it is safe to tie to-thc Sen
eca is the thing.
The Tapahannock wheat is white, beard
less variety, originating in Virginia and sent
out by the United States Department of Ag-
rlculture few years since. We know Of
but one instance of it having Deen tried in
Canada; in that case it proved very success
ful, having stoodlast winter well and having
rlpened very much earlier than ncighboring
sorts. In earliness it is claimed by growers
in Ohio, New Iorl, Vermont and MICHIGAN
to De two or three weeks ahead of Diehl
and other common sorts. The straw is short
and stiff, rendering it not liable to lodge.
The lead is heavy, and the grain is large
and gives superior quality and yield of
flour.
The Silver-chatf is another new wheat,
we'll thought of across the line, but not vet
much known in Canada. Its a white wheat
with white chaff and medium straw: it has
a long, smooth head, with large grains. A
popularity about tits, that its flower extends
about three-quarters of an inch from the
head when in bloom. This gives it a silvery
look, from which it derives its name. The
1t is claimed to be perfectly hardy, having
been tried along side Of other varieties. and
to have come out of the winter as well as
any Of them.
There is every probability from all the in
formation we can CLEAN that both the Tap
pahannock and the Silver-chaff will prove
valuable acquisitions. We recommend those
farmers who are disposed to experiment, to
try these varieties Canada Farmer
