As | am interested in the progress OF
good farming, would like to give my
experience in the way of preparing my
seed wheat for sowing in order to remove
all foul seed: take half hogshead and
put in three or four pals of water, and
make it strong with salt enough to bear
up an egg or potato. Then put in a
half bushel of wheat, give it a good
stirring, take skinner and skim off
what rises to the top After all is done,
take the wheat and put it on the barn
floor, add limo and plaster 10 dry it off,
and work it over thoroughly till every
seed is separated, and then SOW it. The
lime or plaster will give it an impetus to
grow, and birds will not touch the seed
nor will anything else. II will also keep

Farming East and West.

The following, from the Mem Eng aqd

visit before his western trip

judge Bradford occupied the bench at
this mornings session of the United States
Circuit court, and declined altering the ar
rangements already made for hearing the
case between Thomas O. Hamblv vs.. the
Junction q Breakwater Railroad Company,
for breach of contract. Since this suit was
brought the junction s. Breakwater has
been merged into the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Railroad Company, and when
the pleas were ordered fled at recent SEES
sion Of the Court the defendants held that
the ]. & B. road was no more, a. II had Deen
consolidated and that the allegations were
wrong. The argument to-day was In reply
to a writ of scire .fdeids compelling the new
company to become defendant 10 the case TO
recover the amount of damages claimed by
the plaintiff. Messrs. Bradford and Higgins
counsel for plaintiff, wished tine court to
make an order compelling the defendants TO
file their plea on Monday next, so that the
case might come to trial at the January
term OF the court. To this w. G. spruance,
ESQ, one of the counsel for the defendant,
strongly objected, and argued at some
length upon the unprecedented character
of the request, when one OF the
written rules Of the court was
that rule days were on the first Monday oil
each month, and that counsel was not com
PEELED TO file pleas in answer until 80 days
after the rule day on which the rule wa
made.
After some further argument an attempt
on the part of plaintiff to file an amendment
to his declarations, which was also opposed
by defendants counsel, the court decided Il
allow the case to rest as II
was and stated TO counsel that Judgt
McKeLna, of this Circuit, would
be here on Tuesday next TO hear the de
murrers in the case and before him thes'
matters might be brought up, as he would
try the case.
Levi G. Bird, Esq, one of the counsel 70
the defendant In the libel tase of the Ma
tional Dredging Company VS.. the steam tn
Argus, asked that rule be made com
polling the plaintiffs to take testi
mony in the case wiShin 80 days
as the libel had been laid the 22d of Marc
last, and the defendant had already bee
eight months under bail for $40 900. E. q
Bradford, Esq, OF counsel for plaintiff
asked that he be allowed time to CON

was granted, and upon his statement that b
would arrange matters as expeditlously q
