LlPRO WING QUE SEED
WHEAT.

We have alluded to the advlslbl!l-
~ Of our farmers, in harvesting their
grain, selecting the finest and earliest
he,ds for future seeding. To show
VIII At excellent effects are to be de-
rived from a little painstaking, in
such matters, DR.. Lee, Of the Nash
Vile American, gives the following re-
suits:
A California farmer has been ex-
perimenting in planting wheat in
hills and cultivating it as we do corn
and cotton. In his last experiment
he put only one seed in a hill and
had the seeds &c inches apart, SO that
pound of wheat planted an acre.
On one-half an acre he harvested 40
bushels, and on the other half, 80
bushels, making 70 bushels of sound
wheat from one pound of seed. At
90 pounds to the bushel The return
gives 4, 200 pounds Of this cereal from
one, or harvest of / 200 fold. Moth
ing is more indehnate than the tilling
OF this grain, and the number of seeds
that may be developed in each head,
We have seen fifty stems sent up
from one germ in Tennessee, and have
counted one hundred and sixty seeds
grown in one ear of wheat in western
New York. In the town OF Wheat
land we had over forty varieties OF
wheat under experiment IN lo46.-
There is farmer in England who
raises about 700 acres Of pedigree
wheat a year. Assuming that one
seed may produce fifty culms and
ears, and each ear contains one hun
drcd and sixty seeds, the harvest
would be the incredible yield Of eight
thousand fold. We know very little
about the possibilities of vital evolu-
ton, especially in regard to the cere-
al grasses. Pedigree plants are more
important than pedigree horses, cattle
and sheep.

Cabinet or Parlor Organs,

Among Cabinet or Parlor Organs, those made
by the Mason IL Hamlin Organ Co. standi ndis-
putably highest, having a most remarkable
record. In its present form, this instrument
was introduced by these makers, seventeen
years SINCE and the almost universal result of
comparisons at competitive exhibitions and
testimony of musicians, is that the organs of
their make are unequaled by any Others. Such
reputation have they obtained in foreign coun-
tries that London alone has purchased more
than one thousand of them in a single year
At all the great Worlds Exhibitions for ten
years, at Paris, Vienna, Santiago and Phila-
delphia, they have carried off highest honors.
In the whole range of almost innumerable ar
ticles placed in competition in our great Cen
tennial Exhibition, last year, there is scarcely
one respecting which the report of the Jury is
so emphatic in recognizing its superiority to all
competing articles. They unanimously assign
to these organs 81 the first rank in the several
requisites of the class" which is equivalent to
