white-bearded wheat from near Al
lentown. Pa, but of no special
promise. The Gold Medal is one

but not especially valuable.

NoTEs.-Arnold's Victor came
from Canada highly recommended,
but proved utterly worthless with
us. blighting badly and being quite
late. 1t is a white, smooth wheat.
The Colorado wheat and Nevada
rye came from G. B. Rogers, Phila-
delphia. The wheat was noc a sue
cess, but the Nevada rye had good
heads of long light-colored grains,
almost transparent. The straw
was not long, but stood the winter
well. 1t is worthy Of some further
tria Tho G~racian Is a new white
smooth wheat, largely pulled, but
worthless in this section. Specimens
of other varieties are herewith ex-
hibited, but they possess no espe-
cial interest. The following expe-
riments were made to test fertili-
zers on wheat, the conditions
otherwise being the same as before
related. The variety of wheat used
in the experiments was Gold Dust.
The cost of fertilizers was at the
rate of So per acre

ches deep, and the minimum 7
inches deep. The range from 80
inches down to / inch, varies IN
those that come up only about 20,
for the extremes of maximum and
minimum of the heads 243, of the
grains 1881. Between p, 2 and
/ inches, Of those that came up
there is only a difference of about
10 at most; Of the heads only 80 ;
of the number of grains LAO.
Looking at it, however, IN ano-
Their light, we may rate the depth
Of 2 inches as best, then Il, then
2 3-5, then l inch, then p inches.
After a inches the falling off OF
the product is J; from ! inch to the
surface it reached to $40. Where
there may have been extraneous
causes influencing the difference
between 2 3-5 inches and q inches,
which seem to vary from the general
rule; but it may doubtless be con-
sidered, so far as this experiment
goes, that the grain should not be
sown at much greater depths than2
inches, nor nearer than | inch from
the surface. The difference to be
allowed should respect the season,
the nature of the soil, &c.
The washing of the seed-wheat to
avoid smut is desirable. Some use
a strong brine and dust the seed
with p~ulverized blue-stone; others
use a solution of the blue-stone, say
one pound to a gallon of water and
stir this among two bushels OF
wheat.
In sowing by the drill, from 5 to
6 pecks are generally used; when
brOadcasting, from l to 2 pecks
more.
For fertilizers, when those Of
commerce are chosen, such should
as a rule be chosen which contain
a fair percentage o. ammonia
nitrogen being largely demanded
bv the cereals. Hence the good
effects seen in the use of Peruvian
guano and ammoniated phosphates.
Wheat besides, in its analysis,
shows considerable potash; and
where there is good reason suppose
this lacking it should be added IN
the fertilizer, and this fertilizer IN
all cases should be put as close to
the seed as possible. A mixture of
600 lbs. Peruvian guano, 600 lbs.
fine bone-dust, 600 lbs. dissolved
bone, and 200 lbs of sulphate or
muriate of potash, will make a
good formula, and $50 to 800 lbs.
per acre is a proper dose for most
land. Most of our popular ''super-
phosphates" now contain potash.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1878-09-19

In the above cases these fertili-
GERS have evidently done but little
good. and the only fact worth mott
cling is the gain in lightly blowing
down the Challenge Phosphate over
sowing it on the surface and har-
rowing it in. Our experience in
cultivating wheat is still unfavora-
BILE to this much-talked of system.
[ think there must be some pecu-
liarity in our soil that renders Guilt
walton for this crop unnecessary, as
all III previous experiments have
resulted much like the present one.
What is singular we can notice no
increase in the length of head from
cultivation, and as there are fewer
stalks there must be less grain.
The wheat on this plot was sown in
drills, five inches wide with a space
Of fifteen inches between, sowing
about one bushel of seed per acre.
April 20, we ran through the spaces
with a one-horse cultivator; and
May Sd we ran through them with
a small subsoil pillow, loosening up
the ground ten inches deep and
finished by dressing up with a
Hexamer hoe.

Seeding to Wheat.

The Importance of selecting good
clean seed, and of maintaining the
standard of weight, plumpness and
purity, ought never to be over
looked.
AS to the preferable method of
seeding, experience seems to de-
mOnstrate that, with occasional ex-
ceptions, the advantage of the use
of the drill is great. The saving of
seed, the diminution of the liabili-
ty OF injuring by frost, the placing
of the seed and the fertilizer in i'm
mediate contact, the stirring of the
surface soil just at the time the
seed is deposited by the teeth of the
drill, the regularity Of the depth
at which the seed is deposited,
r all points which are to be
counted in it's favor.
AS to the proper depth to deposit
the seel, the following will be of
interest :

Bee-Keeping

Success In bookkeeping, as we'll as
success in everything else. depends
so much upon taking hold of it the
right way, and sticking to it with d
determination to succeed, that We
will offer a few gleanings which
NAV be of use to the new beginner.
A person commencing the bust
ness, as we'll as any other, business
with which he is unacqualnted, had
better begin moderately. Two or
three, or perhaps four colonies, are
as many as it would be safe IN the
majority of cases to commence
with, these may be purchased at
moderate cost; or, what would be
better, have hives made such as suit
YOU and engage some good aplarlst
to put his earliest swarms IN them
for YOU. In any event do not Sc
lect hives under five years old, If
YOU adopt the former plan, and
move them in March or April, be-
me careful to get strong bees; an
old method of deciding this is to
rap smartly on the hive early in the
morning. or at any time on a cold
day; if there is a vigorous buzzlng
in response to the raps, it is proba-
bly, well supplied with bees; If the
reply is but feeble, try again. :,
They can be removed any cold
day by shutting them in the hive.
If the most approved system is to
be adopted, the movable comb hive
will have to be employed. If com
mon hives are to be used, twelve
inches square by fourteen high, IN
side measurement, is a good size.
No one should commence bee-keep-
ing Tor any other business, for that
matter) without profittlng as much
as possible by the experience Of
other, as found in books and jour
nails with departments devoted to
the interest. Many r afraid to
commence the business for fear OF
the moth. After learning its habits,
any intelligent, industrious person
can keep it as free from It as his
cornfield free from weeds.
