Land thai is well drained and dry ex' pands less on tAc surface, and this hon. y-comblng is less seen, the surfnce re- malnlng compact and the plant roots re- manning comparatively undisiurbed.
 Deep working and tineness of the soil is essential to the development of the wheat or any other crop and for the best production the soil should be well stored with suitable plant food, and nos thing is superior, for this purpose, to good stable manure well fined and dis. lribuled through the soil.
 No seed should be deposited till the soil is made thoroughly fine to the depth of several inches, and then the seed should be covered at uniform depth, not less than half an inch. Thus sown by or before the middle of September, one bushel or clean, perfect seed IS as good seeding as one and half bushels on land not thoroughly pulyerized even ly, and the seed narrowed in, leaving much exposed on the surface. Most of our New England farmers practice broad casting our grain by hand, and then har rowing to cover the seed. have found in my experience with wheat that while of some varieties one and one fourth bushels are sufficient to stock an acre, of other varieties one-tiith to fou -tiflhs more are required under similar circum- stances
 Our farmers must eventually grow their own supplies of wheat, or they will deprive themselves largely of the same, as good wheat producing territories are fast deteriorating in their product. W. II. WHITE in Co. Gent.

Art Publishing.

Few people are aware of the wonderful progress that Art has made in this coun- try during the last quarter of a century. It is but few decades since, that those who desired to beautify and adorn their homes, were obliged to depeod almost entirely on foreign artists. But such state of affairs in this age of prog ress and improvement could not last long with the great American people. Gen. jus from the East to the West, from the North to the Gulf of Mexico on the south, answered the demand f,,r beauty, taste and refinement, and to-day our leading artists are not surpassed by the leading modern masters of Art in Europe
 Great Art publishing establishments have sprung up, and by various process es the finest and most expensive paintings are reproduced in all their elegance and beauty, at a price within the mears of the masses SD that no one need be without the refining influences of beau tiful pictures at home.
 Among the progressive leading Art Publishing firms of the country, we take pleasure in mentioning George Stinson 6 Co.,, of Portland, Maine; they were among the first in the business, and we can-only understand the colossal propor- tions their trade has assumed by remcm- bering that this is a great and mighty Nation of nearly fifty million people. We cannot better illustrate the magn- tude of their business than to state the amount of money paid by them for postage stamps during the year of 1876 ; we have the figures direct from the firm or we should think there was some mis- take. They paid for postage stamps du- ring the year 1876, thirty-three thousand one hundred and four dollars and ninety two cents ($33 104,92) and, in connect ion with this it should be remembered that only the small orders were sent by mail, the larger going by express and freig ht George Stnson & Cos, agents are to be found in every State in the In ion and Dominion oI Canada, and in ev- cry county with scarcely an exception.
 Long since, this enterprising firm rec ognized the value of printers ink judic- iously used in advertising, and they in- form us that without it they could never have extended their business as is it is to- day, in three times the number of years. A short time since they paid in a single day twenty-four thousand dollars GA, 4,O0O 00) on a contract for newspaper adver- Using. They evidently long since found the road to success and have neither turned to the right nor the left Three things are necessary for eminent success in business First. standard honest goods that the people generally need and desire,-let them be the best, whatever the line of business Second, let your

Agricultural,
Winter Wheat.

Winter wheat was once grown sufii- cent to supply the limited wants of tine inhabitants of the New England States; but the lime came when insects and oth- CT enemies of the crop, exhaustion of the soil, and the opening of new territory discouraged, or made il unprofitable for our farmers to give much space to the crop, and they turned their attention to other crops, purchasing what wheat was used in the family, coarser grains being generally useo for ordinary purposes.
 With suitable care in selecting tLe soil, and in culture, 1 believe that former ob- stacles may be overcome; and that, too, at not too great an outlay to allow of the crop being paying one; but that good crops can be obtained with the same cul- ture formerly given, would not wish to be understood as claiming, for we can claim it for no kind or variety of crop. The severity of our winters cannot for bid its culture, for wheat has been and is grown here, and in climates equally or more severe
 Insec: enemies need not be complete obstacle to success, for ip other sections and countries such Cor worse) are to be contended with, and yet the crop is not abandoned on that account. Exhaustion of the soil indicates defects in culture, which, with our present aids and lights, may be remedied and guarded against with reasonable certainty of success.
 Enlightened, thorough culture will en- able us to grow, even on our New Eng land soil, remuneating crops of wheat, and to successfully compete in our home markets with wheat grown on the cheap lands of the West. If demonstration of the practicabilily of wheat culture in New England were needed we could ob- tain it from any one of the six states, for it is grown in all of them by occasional farmers-by some of them in considera- ble quantities above family supplies. In the first place, we must commence with seed for sowing; selecting such us is particularly adapted to our soil. eli mate and locality, and this is only done by experiment. When suitable variety is found cling to it, selecting and impro- wing it, for it is as capable of being i'm proved while continuing on the same farm and soil as any select breed of cat tle where the same care and judgment are used.
 Having seed healthy, hardy and in other respects desirable we next turn our attention to the soil and it's preparation. Wheat, although drawing the same ele- ments and in nearly the same proportion as rye, from the soil, will not pay to at tempt its culture on some soils that will produce good crops of rye, neither will it allow of as loose culture; the peculi- arities of the two crops are quite differ ent, end it is unimportant to my present purpose to follow them out.
 The soil on which wheat is grown should be in good heart, and in high state of cultivation be thoroughly drain ed, with no superabundanee of moisture on the surface, for in wet soil winter killing is very liable Every observant person knows how and why wheat kills out in too moist soil; he knows that freezing expsnds the s,il, while the sur face becomes honey -combed, raising and tearing the plant and roots from their
