SEED WHEAT. 



T D. PIPER, of Colne Engaine, Essex, (Member 



*J • of the Royal Agricultural Society), has been four years 

 raising two new Stocks of Wheat, viz., Piper's "Thick-set," 

 and " Colne Whitechaff Red." At the last Southampton Meet- 

 ing two sheaves of these Wheats were exhibited outside (notice 

 not having been given in time for their admission inside), where 

 they produced much excitement, and 6d. per ear was offered for 

 them. Last year, in the same field, side by side, the Piper's 

 Thick -set grew eight bushels and a half, and the Colne White- 

 chaff Red five bushels and a half more per acre than the most 

 prolific Wheat grown in the neighbourhood. Last autumn 

 J. D. P. measured a quarter of an acre off his field, and dibbled 

 the Thick-set in rows a foot apart, and one bushel per acre; 

 and though the plant was partially destroyed by the slug in the 

 winter, and a good sprinkling of self-sown Potatoes were left 

 to grow, still the yield was 14 bushels and a half, being equal 

 to 14 sacks and 2 bushels per acre. One person this year grew 

 15 sacks and 2 bushels, another 14 sacks, and another 13 sacks 

 per acre. One parcel weighed 643 lbs. per bushel. This is, 

 perhaps, the stiffest-strawed Wheat in England, and is adapted 

 for strong or hollow bottom ground, and is not likely to get 

 laid. J. D. P, will se»«* *«► *-«»««* vm, or 10 any piace wumn icu 

 initue of come, carriage free, and he will be glad to receive a 

 post-office order, or reference to some house in London for the 

 money, with the order for the Wheat. When it is all sold, 

 J. D. P. promises to inform the Public, by an advertisement in 

 this Paper; but if he should get any post-office orders after it is 

 all sold, he will return them. The price is regulated according 

 to the yield. Thick-set, 15s. per bushel; Colne Whitechaff 

 Red, 9s. per bushel. Samples of the above, both threshed and 

 in the straw, may be seen at our Office. N.B. — J. D. P. adver- 

 tised in the two principal papers in Essex, where the above 

 Wheat was growing, in order that Agriculturists might see it 

 and judge for themselves of the quality and quantity. 



T R. and A. RANSOME, Ipswich, have published

 TURAL IMPLEMENTS and MACHINES, which may be had by

 not to be liable to get out of order, and can be used by men or 

 women. It is easily set, so as to deliver the exact quantity of 

 seed intended to be planted, into each hole made by the Dibble, 

 at one operation, without any farther care than supplying it 

 with Seed, by the person osinf it, and will plant Turnip and 

 Mangold Wurzel Seed, Wheat, Barlev, Peas, and all kind of 

 Garden Seeds. In Tin, l/. 10*. each; or with Copper Box and

pAMPBELL'S CORN STEEPS.— The Material for 



Vy Wheat is on Sale by the undermentioned Agents, at 2s. 6d. 

 per gallon. 



Notwithstanding the extreme drought of the last spring and 

 summer, the results of the experiments, in very many instances, 

 have been surprising, averaging a saving on seed, in the first 

 instance, of 35. per acre, and yielding a produce of 20 per cent, 

 additional in straw, and 40 per cent, in grain. Had the season 

 been more moist the result would have been at least double. 

 From Report of the Judges, Glasgow Cattle Show, Aug. 7, 1844. 



" Among the remaining articles of the Exhibition (of Roots, 

 Seeds, &c.;, the Judges would direct attention to a series of 

 specimens exhibited by Mr. James Campbell, of Dundee, con- 

 sisting of various Grasses (they were Wheat, Barley, Naked 

 Barley, and Oats), raised from Seed steeped in a Fertilising 

 Liquid. These were contrasted with others which had not 

 undergone the process, and were in all cases decidedly superior.**

PATENT ASPHALTE ROOFING. 



T^HE above Material has been used and approved by 



■*■ the Nobility, Gentry, and Agriculturists generally, as a 

 Roofing and Covering to sides of Farm Buildings ; its advan- 

 tages are— Lightness, Durability, and Economy. Being a non- 

 conductor, it has been proved an efficient Protective Material 

 to Plants, and is now in use at the Royal Horticultural 

 Society's Gardens, Chiswick. It can be had of any length, 

 32 inches wide, at id. per foot, super. A discount to the trade.

TO LANDOWNERS, AGRICULTURISTS, BUILDERS, &c, 



McKIBBIN'S Improved ROOFING FELT is 

 peculiarly applicable as a substitute for Slate, Zinc, 

 Tiles, and other articles used for Roofing, from its ECONOMY, 

 LIGHTNESS, and DURABILITY. 



The disadvantages attending other materials used in roofing, 

 preventing, to a great extent many useful houses and sheds 

 bo >n2: erected or rendered waterproof, it is submitted that 

 the improved Rooting rwi win In a great measure— and in some 

 instances altogether— obviate them, and prove most service- 

 able from its lightness, durability, and impermeability to water 

 and damp, in covering Houses, Cattle-she.K Workshops, Rope- 

 walks, &c, and for the sides, as well as roofs, of light struc- 

 tures for plants, being likewise a nonconductor of heat; be- 

 sides its economy in repairs, the timber where it is used may 

 be so light as to save its whole expense ; it requires no other 

 coping, and may be applied by any person of common inge- 

 nuity ; being flexible and portable also, it is free from breakage, 

 the expense of carriage is inconsiderable in comparison wi.h 

 slates, tiles, &c, and it is not liable to contraction like zinc. 



Sold in sheets 32 inches by 20, at 5d. each (beins less than 

 95. 6d. per square of 100 feet), with printed directions for apply. 

 ing them, same as adopted at the Government Dock-yards and 

 various other public buildings.
