Look well to weeds. Would you 
avoid an inventing arrn’ydf rolifters ? 
Then destroy weeds on tlieir first 
approach; for they devour more of 
the riches of the soil and of the 
weight of the crop, every year in 
the country, than would feed the 
army of Napoleon.

Many hundred thousand bushels of wheat were lost in I 
1850, by the continued rains at harvest. A large por¬ 
tion might have been saved, if all had been well put up 
as soon as cut, into 
water-proof shocks. 
Another reason for 
putting up shocks se¬ 
cure from rain, is the 
fact, now thoroughly 
established.that wheat 
cut a full week before 
it is dead ripe, actual¬ 
ly weighs more (as the 
writer has carefully 
tried) than dead-ripe 
grain, besides furnish¬ 
ing less bran, better 
straw,and shelling less 
in the field. It also FiSk ** 
allows the farmer more time. Now, when put partly 
green, it must stand a few days to mature, before drawn 
into the barn. 
Various sorts of water-proof shocks have been tried. 
The common mode of setting the sheaves in simple dou¬ 
ble rows, affords no protection from long and heavy 
rains. Covering these with two nearly horizontal 
sheaves, with heads meeting in the middle, as often 
done, is not much better. A very good way is repre¬ 
sented in the annexed figure, (fig. 1.) This shock is 
riol- 
>\CU fierce 
SHOCKS OF "WHEAT. 
made by setting up half a dozen sheaves in a round, 
compact form, and then binding another sheaf firmly 
near the butts—breaking down the straw equally on all 
sides from the cen¬ 
tre, and finally plac¬ 
ing the cap, thus 
prepared, in an in¬ 
verted position up¬ 
on the shock. A 
shock, thus made, 
with the sheaves 
compactly, evenly, 
and neatly placed, 
will withstand per¬ 
fectly a week’s rain. 
A more rapid mode, 
and nearly or quite 
asgood, is shown by 
fig. 2, and consists, 
first, of the six round, compact sheaves, winch are then 
covered with two others, broken at the middle and laid 
on in the form of a cross, spreading out the ends so as 
to form a perfect shield from storms.. 
Many of our readers may have already tried these 
modes of securing wheat, but others, in some parts of 
the country, have not known them, and it is for the 
benefit of the latter that we have pointed them out. 
Money .—If you would know the value of money, go 
and try to borrow some.
