voyage round the world. He had previously 
served under his lordship on the coast of 
Guinea, andin the West Indies. When Lord

Vversation enlivened with frequent narrations 
of former professional occurrences, of which 
he retained to the last a perfect :ecollection.

The follow'ng account is given by the 
gardener of the Rev. Dr. Drake of Amershamy 
respecting the extraordinary produce of asingle 
grain of wheat inthe gardenof that gentlemans 
* On the ist day of August, I sowed, or ras 
ther set, a single grain of red wheat; and io 
the latter end of September, when the plant. 
had tillered, I took it up, and slipped or. di- 
vided it. inte four sets. or slips. Those four 
sets I planted, and they grew and tillered 
as wail as the first. Inthe end of Novem- 
ber | took them up a second time, and made 
thirty-six plants or sets. These I again 
planted, which grew till March, in waich 
month I, a third time, took up my plants, 
and divided them into 256 plants or sets. 
For the remaining part of the suminer, tid 
the month of August, they had nothing 
done to them, except hoving the ground clean 
from the weeds, tillthecorn wastipe. When 
it was gathered, [ had the ears counted, or 
numbered, acd they were 3,5115 a great 
part of which prsved as good. grain as ever 
grew out of the earth. Many of the ears 
measured six inches imlength, some very mide 
dling grains, some very lightand thin This 
was the reason! did not mumber the grains ; 
but there was better than half a bushel of corn 
inthe whole produce of this one grainof wheat 
in gine year.” Would not this practice (spring 
_pianting) be of great use where the Crops miss 
by various atcidents incident to farmisig ?
