SAVE THE BEST SEEDS. 
The season has arrived when somo of the 
seeds are ripe, and a little care is necessary 
in their preservation, not only to securo 
them from waste, but to preserve only tho 
best for future sowing. Farmers never 
think of raising a puny, badly formed calf, 
pig or lamb to be kept as a breeder, but 
make all animals pass the scrutiny of a se¬ 
vere judgment before they decide to propa¬ 
gate from them. The preservation of early, 
large and perfect seeds for continuing crops 
is 110 dess important, than that of retaining 
the most thrifty and best formed animals. 
A gentleman in Maryland gathered the 
earliest and largest heads of wheat from a 
field and sowed them, gathering tho best 
and earliest of their produce and sowing 
again, and continued tho process three or 
four years. In a recent visit to that State 
wo collected some heads which are now 
hanging by us, and measure, beard and all, 
ten inches in length ; the grain heads being- 
five inches. 
This wheat is known by tho name of thc 
Coade Wheat, taking tho name of the gen¬ 
tleman who had by his pains increased tho 
quantity and quality so much. We cut tho 
samples before us from tho farm of Thos. 
Blagden, Esq., of Washington, one of the 
best cultivators in that region, and who is 
setting the Marylanders a fine example. 
A gentleman in Essex county went thro’ 
a similar procoss with onion seed, until seed 
of his raising readily sold for four dollars a 
pound, while common seed was selling at 
fifty cents. The great improvement in the 
crop from these seeds justified tho cultiva¬ 
tor in paying this great price. 
In our farm stock there aro always some 
who grow up rapidly and strong, taking the 
lead in health and vigor from the first. It 
is so with plants. A proper consideration 
has not been given to this fact. 
There will be a succession of seeds com¬ 
ing to maturity until tho Indian corn har¬ 
vest is over, and wo are confident that more 
attention to this point will* give us better 
crops hereafter.— JY. E. Farmer. 
DEEP PLOWING. 
The present season has proved to the 
satisfaction of every observer that in deep 
plowing, is to bo found tho principal securi¬ 
ty against drouth. Fields tilled only to 
the depth of six or seven inches have suf¬ 
fered from the severe dry weather, while 
side by side with them may be seen crops 
that have not seemed to feel tho drought at 
all. In passing over several river farms a 
few days since, wo found pieces of corn 
where the leaf was rolled and the color light 
and verging towards s? yellow. On ono of 
these we passed with a step from corn of 
this description to that at least of a foot 
taller, of a deep lively green, and a broad 
uncurldd leaf.; Everything indicated an en¬ 
tirely different crop. We immediately 
turned to our companion for an explanation. 
The seed was the same, tho manuring and 
culture were thc same with the exception of 
the use of a sub-soil plow on this latter part. 
Tho gentleman had never used the sub-soil 
plow before, and tried it upon this piece as 
an experiment. It was to him perfectly 
satisfactory, (it certainly was so to a looker 
on) and he said he should use it on all his 
farm. 
We have no doubt that sub-soil or deep 
trench plowing would bo equally beneficial 
in a season of much rain. Of course when 
the supply of water is from springs or the 
under current from higher land, it must he 
cut off by draining. To prevent crops suf¬ 
fering from the drouth, plow deep and stir 
frequently tho surface.— Granite Fanner. 
We may keep tho devil without the swine, 
but not the swine without the devil. 
Sin and sorrow are inseparable. 
EFFECT OF PLOWING ON THE SOIL. 
At one of the agricultural discussions 
which took place in this city last Winter, 
lion. John Brooks made the remark that 
“ plowing was a process of exhaustion to the 
soil.” The idea seemed to be regarded by 
some gentlemen as very absurd, though no 
reasons wore brought forward against it.— 
But is the effect of plowing to add fertility 
to the soil, or only to develop and render 
available thc vegetable nutriment it already 
contains ! If the latter, which we think 
must be the conclusion from a careful exam¬ 
ination. then Mr. Brooks’ position is perfect¬ 
ly tenable. We notice in a late lecture of 
Dr. Lyon Playfair, a view of tho subject 
which strikingly coincides with the remark 
of Mr. Brooks. 
“Fallow,” says Dr. Playfair, “is only a 
legitimate operation of farming, when the 
soil, as it generally is in clay, contains a 
practically inexhaustible amount of alkaline 
silicates. In poor soils, the process must 
be one of rapid impoverishment; and unless 
the ingredients thus removed from the soil 
by manure, the operation of fallow can only 
be characterized as an exhaustion of the 
capital of tho land, and not as the use of in¬ 
terest.”— Boston Cultivator. 
PLASTER ON WHEAT IN THE FALL. 
As many farmers in this vicinity are put¬ 
ting jilaster on their wheat in the fall in¬ 
stead of the spring, as heretofore, I have 
taken pains to inquire the reason of the 
change; and believing the information ob¬ 
tained important to wheat growers general¬ 
ly, I take this method of giving it to the 
million if you think proper to place it in your 
widely extended journal. 
Wheat, when plastered in the fall, obtains 
more root, and is thus enabled to stand the 
frosts better; it has tho assistance of the 
plaster at a season of tho year when it is most 
needed —namely in tho very early spring; 
it gets its growth and ripens in good time ; 
whereas, when applied in the springi the 
wheat continues to grow late, sometimes to 
tho injury of the crop—a superabundance 
of straw, falling down, rust, &c.. &c., often¬ 
times being the consequence.— Cor. Genesee 
Farmer. 
ENTERPRISE WANTED. 
That ho is a public benefactor who caus¬ 
es two blades of gfciss to grow where but 
ono grew before, is a truth which needs no 
elucidiation ; but that a duplication of tho 
aggregate harvests of our country is not 
merely practicable, but would bo signally 
profitable—this is a truth not yet adequately 
impressed on tho public mind. Tho popu¬ 
lar deficiency is rather want of thought than 
want of knowledge. Ask severally the next 
ten farmers you meet if they do not 
think our cultivators generally overrun too 
much land,—if they do not plow too shallow 
and manure too light, and sow too late, and 
till too slovenly—and nine of the ten will un¬ 
hesitatingly answer, Yes. Then take pains 
to inquire carefully as to tho habits of these 
same farmers and you will find five or six 
of them practicing habitually tho very errors 
they so freely condemn—shallow plowing, 
scanty fertilizing, late sowing, shabby tilling 
and probably feeding off their meadows, 
gnawing down their pastures, keeping more 
stock than they can feed well and so iinpov-, 
erishing their land from year to year. 
“My people do not consider says tho 
Good book ; they know, if they would only 
use and apply their knowledge, far better 
than they do. But two-thirds of tho farm¬ 
ers suppose the great truths revealed to ag¬ 
riculture by science applicable everywhere 
but on their own farms. Ono with two hun¬ 
dred acres will say, when pressed to do 
better, 
“ Oh I cant afford to drain and subsoil, 
and buy guano or phosphates, and so put 
my land into the best condition ; I haven't 
the means.” 
“ But my good Sir ! don’t you understand 
that you could turn off more produce from 
fifty acres thoroughly cultivated, than you 
do from your whole two hundred ? ” 
“Well, perhaps I might.” 
“ Then why not sell enough of your ara¬ 
ble land to pay for putting the residue in 
the highest state of cultivation ? Can’t you 
realize that it is sheer, ruinous waste to fence 
plow, plant, till and harvest five acres for a 
hundred bushels of Indian corn, when that 
quantity might surely be grown on two 
acres ? Can’t you understand that ten 
acres of grass that will yield twenty-five 
tons of good hay, are more profitable than 
growing those same twenty-five tons on 
twenty-five to thirty acres ?” 
“ O yes, but—” 
“ But what ? ” 
“ O, I don’t believe in whitewashing forest 
trees and laying stone walls in mortar. I’m 
none of your gentlemen farmers—I have to 
make my farm support me, instead of my 
business supporting it.” 
And so the hard-pressed cultivator slides 
off into a fog of his own raising, and perse¬ 
veres in averaging twenty bushels of grain 
or less than a ton of grass to each arable 
acre, mainly because he is mentally too 
sluggish and Unenterprising to move out of 
the jog-trot ways of liis grandfather.— JY.

HONEY BEES. 
The Albany Cultivator has an interesting 
article on honey bees, from tho pen of a 
distinguished professor, from which we 
quote the following paragraph. 
“Many, nearly everybody supposes that 
the bee culls honey from the nectar of flow¬ 
ers, and simply carries it to his cell in the 
hive. This is not correct. The nectar he 
collects from the flower, is a portion of its 
food or drink ; the honey it deposits in its 
cell is a secretion from its melilic, or honey 
secreting glands, (analagous to the milk se¬ 
creting glands of the cow and other animals.) 
If they were the mere collectors and trans¬ 
porters of honey from tho flowers to the 
honey comb, then we should have the comb 
frequently filled with molasses, and when¬ 
ever the bees have fed at a molasses hogs¬ 
head. The honey bag in the bee performs 
the same functions as the cow’s bag or ud¬ 
der, merely receives the honey from the se¬ 
creting glands, and retains it until a proper 
opportunity presents for its being deposited 
in appropriate store-house, the honey comb. 
Another error is, that tho bee collects 
pollen from the flowers accidentally while 
it is in search of honey. Quite the contrary 
is the fact. The boo when in search of 
nectar, or honey as it is improperly called, 
does not collect pollen. It goes in search 
of pollen specially, and also for nectar. 
When tho pollen of tho flower is ripe, and 
fit for the use of tho bee, there is 110 nectar; 
when there is no nectar, there is no pollen 
fit for use in tho flower. It is generally 
suppose also, that tho bee constructs the wax 
from which it constructs its comb, from such 
vegetable substances. This is also an error. 
The wax is a secretion from its body, as the 
honey is; and it makes its appearance in 
small scales or flakes, under the rings of the 
belly, and is taken thence by other bees, 
rendered plastic by mixture of the saliva of 
the bees’ mouth, and laid on the walls of 
tho cell with the tongue, very much in tho 
way a plasterer uses his trowel.” 
Weeds. —If any yet outlive the vigilance 
of your garden hoe, attend to it at once.— 
Don’t if you valuo future labor, let them go 
to seed—a few weeks neglect will suffice to 
seed enough to require years to eradicate. 
Remember that they punish forgetfulness.— 
Is there a noxious plant just ready to go to 
seed in that neglected corner—or along the 
fence,—tako care of it,—cut it down to tho 
root, and burn it. Again wo say, take care 
of the weeds. 
Bv stabling and shedding stock through 
the winter, a saving of one-fourth of the 
food may be effected ; that is, one-fourth less 
food will answer than when such stock may 
be exposed to tho inclemencies of tho 
weather. 
To manure and lime wot lands is to throw 
manuro, lime and labor away. 
DITCHING AND DRAINING. 
August and September aro the best 
months for performing tho above operations. 
And wo firmly believe that there is scarco a 
farm in tho State upon which ditching and 
draining might not be done to advantage.— 
The operation would be a paying one. 
Many farmers class this notion of draining 
as one of tho fancies of farming; well enough 
if tho farmor is overburdened with surplus 
revenue, and no railroad handy in which to 
bury it. They will admit that it may not 
injure tho land, but that it will pay them 
any thing for doing it upon their own farm, 
appears to them vastly more foolish than to 
consult tho moon or almanac, when wo wish 
to kill a pig. There is many and many a 
piece of land that will pay not double or 
treble the interest of the money invested in 
the improvement, but in two or three years 
will entirely repay tho principal. 
Wo well recollect when a boy that our 
garden lay at the foot of a range of hills and 
was always lato and cold in the spring. A 
ditch across tho head of the field near to the 
base of the hills made a difference of a fort¬ 
night or three weeks in tho time the garden 
could be worked ; and the temper and qual¬ 
ity of tho soil was much changed. If a far¬ 
mor is in doubt on tins subject as applied on 
a large scalo to his farm, let him try the ex¬ 
periment and then judgo. Wo might add 
to thc arguments in favor of draining, that 
on many lands manuro fails of its appropri¬ 
ate influence through tho presence of water. 
To apply manure to such lands is to throw 
it away.— Granite Farmer. 
MR. ALLEN ’ S HERD OF IMPROVED CATTLE 
The Short-Horn, Devon, and Hereford 
cattle left over from Mr. Allen’s sale at Al¬ 
bany, embracing many of the best animals 
in the herd, are now on tho farm of Mr. 
Hough, in Whitesboro, where they will re¬ 
main until the State Fair, tho’ they are now 
offered for salo. An opportunity is thus of¬ 
fered to farmers in this section of the Stato 
to securo good animals without inconven¬ 
ience or expense, and at reasonable prices, 
for we understand that although Mr. A. is 
unwilling to sacrifice them at public salo. he 
is nevertheless desirous of disposing of his 
stock, and will sell at reasonable prices. 
Mr. Allen has much knowledge of improv¬ 
ed stock, and we think his animals may be 
relied on as precisely what they aro repre¬ 
sented. If any of our readers are desirous 
of procuring improved stock, wo would re¬ 
commend them to profit by the present op¬ 
portunity of procuring such as they may 
need. 
It may be proper to stato that the animals 
offered by Mr. A. have been bred with 
especial reference to the development of 
their milking qualities — a consideration of 
no small moment to the dairymen in this 
part of the Stato of New York.— JY. Y. Far. 
Salt for Horses. —A person who kopt 
sixteen horses made the following experi¬ 
ment with seven of them which had been 
accustomed to eating salt with their feed. 
Lumps of rock salt were laid in their man¬ 
gers. These lumps previously weighed, 
were examined regularly, to ascertain what 
quantity weekly had been consumed, and it 
was repeatedly found that, whenever theso 
horses were fed on hay and corn, they con¬ 
sumed only two and a half or three ounces 
per day, and when they were fed with new 
hay they took six ounces per day. This 
fact should convince us of the expediency 
of permitting our cattle the free use of salt 
at all times; and it cannot bo given in so 
convenient a form as rock salt, it being 
much more palatable than the other in a 
refined stato, and by far cheaper. A good 
lump should always be kept in a box by tho 
side of the animal without fear that it will 
ever be taken to excess.— Boston Cultivator. 
A bushel of plaster per acre, sown broad¬ 
cast over clover, will add 100 per cent, to 
its produce.
