ANOTHER FORMULA FOR THE WHEAT
CROP.
still more comprehensive than these,
and claiming to give large results, COM
prises the same chemical elements as
the Vile formula above including also
Sulphate Of Soda.
But in regard to all formulas for ma
nuring, whether intended for the wheat
erop.or any other, one thing, at least, is
certain, and should never be forgotten:
The largest results from chemical fertil-
izers are not obtained when they are US
ed to the exclusion Of animal dung. On
the otherIhand, it is equally certain that
animal dung, universally adapted as it
is to all plant growth, only yields It's
best returns when duly supplemented
with chemical munures.
The great value to agriculture of con-
centrated fertilizers is not to be question
ed, nor is there any doubt that the the
sries-of Vile and Stockbridge have CIV
en- an impulse to husbandry by shed
ding much needed light on the great
question of plant nutrition. Yet both
systems are open to improvement.
But the claim Of a complete fertilizer for
wheat, as advanced by Prof. Vile, is
not by any means warranted. The fer-
mula entitled to this distinction is not
yet discovered, nor in fact is any such
formula even possible. There are. how
ever, various degrees Of approach to
this perfection, and methods already
achieved are full of encouragement for
the future. There are condition formulas,
not only for wheat, but for all other
crops, that clearly foreshadowed, and
waiting to be developed by more per-
feet experiments, from which will flow
results more ample and more certain
than any yet known. Thisis topic of
great intereset towheat growers and may
well animate their zeal in the direction
of new and original experiments. Furth-
or investigation will yet reveal

decline, by infusing new life and vigor

improved process ofmanuring and Gull

outgrowth of any single system, but the
blended result of the best features Of
many systems. twill probably repres-
ent the best ideas of Stockbridge' Vile
and other investigators, as tested and
improved by the latest experience of
practical farmers. This final result ev-

power to help forward by contributing
something every year from his own expe-
rience, and especially by some new orig.

duction lower than any yet reached

ClaWscB Wheat.

EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN-Perlnit
me to answer through your paper, the
letters that are flowing in upon me
making inquiries in regard to the Claw
son wheat.
In the year 1867, Garret Clawson, in
passing over wheat stubble then late
ly harvested on his farm in the town of
Hector, Schuyler Co.. N. Y, observed
some heads Of uncommonly fine appear
ance, near the roots of a stump. The
wheat that had been harvested was
mixed, and had nearly all the then COM
mon varieties of winter wheat raised
thereabouts. Mr.. Clawson selected the
finest samples Of these uncommonly fine
heads of wheat, and sowed the grain.
and the next year found that he had two
distinct varieties selecting the most
promising of the two, he sowed it the
next year, and continued its cultivation.
Thus originated this now famous varle-
ty of wheat.
In the fall Of 1871, Mr.. Johnston of
Ovid, Seneca county, sent mea sample
of this wheat, and gave me short his
tory of its origin, yield, sc. This SAM
pie was so excellent, that at harvest, in
1872, l went to the town of Hector, and
to the farm on which this wheat origin
ated, and from Mr.. Clawson learned its
history. found that this kind of wheat
yields much better than any other varie-
ty. 1 published an account of my visit
inithes Tribune, being careful not to say
more in favor Of this new wheat, than
l felt confident would be found to be
be true on trial. I said
''The Clawson wheat is red chat, bald
(wlthout beard Of awn) white kernel,
very large and plump stiff at bottom,
and of medium height heads turn down
before ripeaing, natures as early as the
Mediterranean not subject to rust ];
stands the winter well, and because of
the large heads having many and large
kernels, is large yielder."
The only error fell into in my des-
cription, then given, was in regard to
this wheat not Smelling IN harvest. 1t
does shell, if allowed to become very
ripe before cutting, and this is the only
thing that can be justly sal d that is not
in favor Of this kind of wheat.
In the fall of 1872 several pieces OF
land in this vicinity were sown with
Clawson wheat, and from that time till
now, it has been growing IN favor here,
and very little Of any other winter wheat
is now sown in Onondaga county. On
poor land, it is the best yielder, and on
very rich. land is the safest variety to
sow. We have tried it IN winters of If
tie snow, and in the last winter distin-
guished for deep and continuous snow,
and we are Eow threshlng, and thus far
have not heard of a field that, does
not give from % to 80 bushels, and 1
expect to have satisfactory proof before
long Of so bushels being raised this year
on one acre.
Last year an attempt to discredit this
kind OF wheat for making good flour,
was made at Detroit, and Michigan
farmers were very much alarmed about
the time of sowing wheat. Letters

THE MINERS CARRY THEIR
POINT.

The miners throughout the state
will be gratided to learn that their
brethren on the Comsiock have sue
eeeded in carrying their point. 1t viii
he Observation-Disclosures miners Unions
of the western part Of the State some
time ago issued an order that after
September 10Th no miner would be al
lowed 10 work under ground except he
was a member of the Union. The or
der called forth from a portion of the
pre- IS in that portion of the State much
adverse criticism, but the miners. con
scious in the right and their great
$ rength, kept straight ahead With the
main point still in view. Now, the tel
egraph brings intelligence that the
whole matter has been amicably set
tied, and that, too, by the superIntend-
ents yielding to the demands Of the
miners. On Tues lay the leading
superintendents of the Com<tock
met committees from the Unions
10 Talk uidtttTs over. lne Httciius
was entirely harmonious, and resulted
in the superintendent agreeing that
after the 10Th of next month they will
discharge from the mines any miner
reported to them as not being a member
and refusing to become one" This
settles the question Of miners wages
in Nevada for years, and the Union
energies from the adjustment of the
threatened difficulties stronger than
ever before in its history. We think
we can detect the influence and good
judgement of Colonel Fair in this
settlement. He represented Cousol-
idated Virginia and California in the
conference-two mines which employ
more men tLan all the rest of the
Com>tock combined. Fair and
Mackay were "A few years ago miners
themselves, and they have always
proclaimed it fan and wide that they
wanted no miner to work for them for
less than 81 a day. Colonel Fair had
great weight in the late conference.
and we will WAGER that his influence
was thrown for the miners.
