for seed. But the clear white color of the 
upper sides of the grains having been 
changed by the heat, to a reddish, or “ lox 
color, it was deemed unsafe to rely upon it; 
and the field was again sown with clean 
good sood, of the same variety. And it was 
again “ dragged in.” The wheat grew well 
and appeared to promise a tolerably good 
crop. But when the plants “ headed out, ’ 
there did not appear to be one-fourth part 
of them that were wheat: the rest were 
chess, and of the largest and best quality .— 
So little wheat was there in the field, that 
my father had the whole crop mown, and 
made into hay; there not being sufficient 
wheat to pay for harvesting and threshing. 
In my next number I will state the facts 
of another instance of nature’s legerdemain, 
oquully strange and inexplicable. IIikl. 
FARMER’S CLUB OF TEE AM. INSTITUTE. 
Eds. Rural :—I do not know of any body 
of men in this country who present so much 
scientific agricultural knowledge, for inves¬ 
tigation, as the Farmer’s Club of the Amer¬ 
ican Institute. I have frequently attended 
their regular weekly meetings, on Tuesday, 
and have always been dwcidcdly instructed 
as well as interested. 
• At a recent meeting, Judge Mf.igs, their 
very learned Secretary, presented as usual, 
valuable Transactions from Agricultural 
Journals in England, among which was an 
account of a gentleman who collected some 
of the seeds of the wild and troublesome 
weed from the shores of the Mediterranean, 
called Egylops, and gave thorn high and 
careful cultivation, the product of which 
seemed to him, so much to resemble whoat 
as to induco him to continue its cultivation 
until at last it has arrived at perfect and 
well formed wheat. All this of course opon- 
cd a wide and interesting discussion among 
the members, somo contending that no one 
plant ever changed into another. This 
opened wide the question of whoat and 
choss, &c.; Mr. Robinson assorting that 
when in Illinois, ho plowod up some twenty 
acres of prairie land, that had not been dis¬ 
turbed for centuries, and sowed it to puro 
whoat and the proceeds of which developed 
at least one hundred heads of choss to ono 
of wheat. Prof. Mapes said innumerable 
seeds of chess might have been in the 
ground for an indefinite time, which when 
brought in contact with light and air, ger¬ 
minated. To which Mr. Robinson roplied, 
that no chess was to bo soon on adjoining 
acres, sowed to other crops. All this left 
their controverted subject in a very unset¬ 
tled state, but a few days after I mot with 
another member of the Club, who was then 
absent, Mr. R. L. Pell, who romarked that 
the decaying matter of wheat, or similar 
matter, in its procoss of germination was 
necessary to give germinativo life to the 
dormant seeds of choss. Oats possessed in 
a loss degree the same properties, whilo with 
other grains no chess would spring into life, 
although tho pabulum surrounding the 
seeds of tho chess, would protect them from 
docay when buried in tho soil below the ac¬ 
tion of sun and air, for thousands of yoars. 
This throwing off tho matter by tho docay 
of one plant, for tho quickening into lifo of 
another, was obscrvablo in the pine and oak 
—for instauco, whore a fire or hurricane has 
prostrated thousands of acres of old pine 
trees— where tho mattor adapted to tho 
growth of tho pino has bccomo absorbed 
from the soil—you will see the oak spring¬ 
ing into lifo in innumerable quantities, al¬ 
though tho soil is full of tho seeds of the 
pino; and then again, after tho pino seeds 
have lain for ages and tho oak has used up 
all its appropriate element in tho soil, then 
tho soil has so far recovered in an adapted 
state, that tho pino seeds will germinate and 
for ages again, tho pino will flourish. 
I do not know that I have reported this 
thought intelligibly, but I acknowledge this 
conversation with Mr. Pell, unfolded to me 
more insight into the chess question, than 
all I havo known before. 
Tho Club then procooded to tho order of 
tho day, which was tho preparation of the 
soil for vegetation, &c. Prof. Mapes said 
tho first thing to bo done was to thoroughly 
drain tho soil and then plow gradually 
doeper, and subsoil until tho soil was work¬ 
ed thoroughly to tho dopth of 18 inches. 
From this, tho Professor branched off into 
a vast amount of information connected with 
tho whole subject of sub-soiling and drain¬ 
ing. For instance, in regard to drains, ho 
said tho mouth of tho drain should always 
be left open, so that tho air could circulate 
its ontiro length, for tho air thus brought 
into contact with tho subsoil, was almost as 
important as the removal of tho surplus wa¬ 
ter. Again, tho subsoil plows now in use 
raise the soil about six inches, and thus 100 
pounds for overy foot, or 100,000 pounds of 
oarth are raised six inches, unnecessarily by 
ono ordinary subsoil plow. The Professor 
gave us tho form of a plow raising tho earth

over usod on tho placo, was three men with 
good lovers and spades, and a good yoke of 
cattle with plenty of chain. In this way a 
great many stumps could be turned out in 
a day. Tho farm has been pretty thorough¬ 
ly underdrained, and some of it subsoiled. 
It has required several years to accomplish 
all this, but Mr. C. says the time and money 
thus expended, has proved a most profita¬ 
ble investment. 
Tho distinctive featured of Mr. Cone’s 
practico, and the principles upon which ho 
lias proceeded, wo will now enumerate ; and 
wo respectfully claim for them tho sober 
consideration of our readers. 
Deep Plowing .—From much reading and 
reflection, Mr. Cono was induced to plow 
deep—much doepor than usual, and to mix 
thoroughly tho upper and lower portions of 
the soil. For this purposo a team, equal to 
3 yoke of heavy oxen, was attached to Ma¬ 
son’s No. 5 plow, (wo think.) and the fur¬ 
row gauged to about a foot in depth. The
