Italian Spring Wheat. \ THE subscriberoffers foe sale bush* ~'fels of this famous VRieat, growth of the present season, received direct from J. Hatha way, T5sq., of Koine, Onqjda county, New York., . '? ' V *? On tie sterling qualities of this Wheat Mr. Hatha way remarks: ? "The Italian Spring Wheat, which has be?n disseminated through ray -means, is an ? ex cellentgrain, and a very sure crop ; it yields largely, and ha* the wonderful property of doing well on poor wom-cutland^ though of course the crop will be hea vier or a more favorable soil ; the fact is well ascer tainedhere, that land so light and worn down that it will net produce a crop of oats, will bring a foir crop of Sping Wheat. The original imported- Wheat weigh?d.full 631bs. to the bushel ; and now that the fifth crjp has come in, it weighs 621bs. .The llour is fine, aid the yield good ; the miller speaks highly of j its qualities, and the flour makes good, light, sweet ' bread, lather more moist, perhaps, than that from winter wheat. The Italian is a bearded wheats white chaff, bright yellow straw, the berry variable in col or, generally of a reddish yellow. "The proper time for sowing is in April, if the ground can be well fitted ; this season has been pe culiar, and late sown wheat has succeeded best with [his, and in some instances ripened soonest. It is sel dom affected with smut, ana, if limed, never." From one aritTohe fourth to one and a half bushels of seed aresownto the acre, rich land requiring the most. This wheat appears to be a cosmopolite, as it grows well and does well on almost every variety of soil, from a stiff clay to a sandy plain ; it usually ripens by the 14th August, and yields from fifteen to thirty-five bushels per acre, although in this county (Oneida) we have very little good wheat land. "I came in possession of the original wheat by ac cident. An Italian gentleman of Florence married against his father's will, was disinherited, and emi grvied to America, bringing, among a quantity of oth er seeds, a tierce of this wheat, intending to turn far mer. . The wheat did not arrive seasonably for spring sowing in this place, and was left in a srorehouse on the canal. The gentleman contracted for a farm in the town of Florence in this county, (induced by the name, probably,) was no farmer, made bad calcula tions and worse experiments, and failed in every .thing, soon bccame reduced and was about to eat his impDrted wheat, when I happened to see it, was ! struck with its excellence, and as I had advanced him I money on it to pay trdHSIt Charges, took it at its cost in Italv? /$2 50 per bushel), I succeeded in gcl> ting it into the hands of some of our farmers, though without much confidence on their part, but the result was most gratifying: the wheat actually producing I about double the quantity usually grown on an acre, and selling at more than double the price of common spring wheat. From this it has all arisen." ... JFresh Garden Peas. The subscriber has this day received a few kinds of Early Garden Peas, for early planting.

Sir, I am greatly opposed to anything like auackery,. but when ] reflect upon the good your invaluable remedy has done, and might continue to do, if made generally known, I;am wil ling to throw aside auy thing tike prej udice, and freely give my-opinion upon your medicine. In my situa tion of life, it frequently happens that diseases of every kind come uijder my observatiiw^tont-thO major part of them seem to be, at this * year, premonitory symptoms of Cho!< which, I have no doubt, prove fatal for' . a preparation as yours. Now^ sir/ the Cholera (as you Cf^l it) is the very thing I ing to stay thepjpgress of this distressing This I speak from experience. * 1 have nd it repeatedly in my own family, but hav tered it to many others, and I can vvith tr effects have surpassed ray most sanguii tions. In several cases where the bowels most deranged state, other remedies had ministered, until really the patient veas ifrg ger of dying, and from simply ^giving a dose your remedy for cholera as described, in. relief was found. In one instance 1 used it,, servant, a member of my family, thatwa^ta under a dreadful bowel complaint, spasms'and- vdl ing ? for some time my wife and self had serious prehensions that she would die ? butafter.giyiugor dose of your remedy for cholera, the vomiting Ct?sej the pains gradually disappeared, and the neit da "!lC ?Plirely recovered.
