Jons QuIscr ADAMS is one of the in sellectual prodigies whose charneters dis. tinguish taasof time. A hundred years hence I doubt whether the American an nals will show more than two names Bai.t'nc FaANK.LIs and Groaoc WAaU as-rots -brighter than that of JoHN Qusr cr ADAMs. Mr. ADAMS is now 74 years old. But =.. have made no impression upon his saellect. Mr. MoRaAN. whose sea: in the House with permissoo to publish,,tf thfe jou1rnf0a. a copy of the Poem which I enclose. It was written in July, 1840, under these cir cumstances: Gen. Ogle informed Mr. A dams that several young ladies in his Dis. trict had req'uested him to obtain Mr. A.'s autograph for them. In accordance with this request, Mr. Adams wrote the follow iag beautiful Poem upon "The I1anis of Maan," each stanza upon a sheet of note paper. What Americanyounglady would not set a precious value upon such an AU -roeaoPs from the illustrious statesman: THE WANTS OF MAN. "Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long." Goldsmith's lermit. "Man wants but little he-re below, Nor wants that little long." 'Tis not with me exactly so But 'lis so in my song. M wants are many. and if told Would muster many a score; And were each wish a mint of gold, I still should long for nore.

Varions-epinions prevail in regard to the proper time of sowing, somie consending that late sown grain is not so subject to in jury from insects. Be this as it may, we are very certain that late sowing is more exposed to casualities than early. And we also find, that the most successful wheat growers, generally endeavor to avoid very late sowing.-Perhaps frot the middle to Ihe lust of October, would be as safe a lime, all things considered, as any. The quality and preparation of the seed, is thought by most wheat growers to be anuother ohjbet of particular importance. That none but the best seed should he sown, is a position that we think but few will deny; still its intrinsic importance with regard to wheat, as well as all other plants, is, it would seem from the common prac tice among farmers. not duly appreciated; hence we would arge the importance of in varia'ly selecting dic most perfect of thr crop for seed. Besides ancareful selection of seed, it is strongly recommended slant the seed, be fore sowing be immersed in a brine imale by adding (o the water as mueh salt as it will dissolve; in which the wheat may re main, if necessary, several days without injury: then drained, and while wet as iuch lime or atshes apilied and stirred through it, as will adhere to the grain and prevent its'sticking tgether. Or. if the weather should prove unfavorable for sow ing, it may be spread tin a flour and dried, it prevent its sprouting until circusstances will admit of it-4 Ieing sown.-This plan af preparing seed wheat is thought to be n excellent preventive of smut; and some hink it renders the plant less subject to the mtacksof insects.

WAsItNGTON, 14th June, 1840. J&ricultural. From the Farmer's Adcocate. WHEAT. As that season of the year is approach ng and not far distant, wrhen the provident ushandivan is aware that his seed fur this aluable crop must be committed to the arth, the necessary preparation should y no means be neglected. A practice has been quite commonly dopted of ratter years. boy many of our iorth Carolina farmers, of immediately ucceeding a crop of corn with whest, this evidently a very improper course, and ught to be abandoned; being extremely xhausting to he soil; uncernin, or rather nfavorable in its results; and in all proba ility. affords additional facilities for the crease of those mischievous insects that rey upon, and often destroy the wheat rop. Crops that are grown mainly for the rain, and hence are allowed to remain on e ground till fully natured, are found general rule to be greater exhaust amn those cultivated merely for the foiln 1 roots, and are of course removed ,...:t their seeds, hence, the prod rmer will, in a ro aelrve to ute or fix the time owi op as far dista-taunsue by such regultions as will secure to ie land an interval of rest. - The practice of growing wheat im itely after corn, is evidently uncertain favorable to successful results; beca ie corn crop matures so late in the sea-. in, that before the corn can be safely oused, the ground afterwards prepared, nd the sowing of the wheat accomplished, te seafon is of course so far advanced, iat a full crop cannot reasonably be ex ected. And in order to evade this diffi ulty a course ifoften adopted, that in our pinion is much more objectiotable, which i, sowidg among the standing corn: be use in consequence of the ground not aving been thorughly broke since early the spring, and still encumbered with a rowth of corn, it would be impossible to ut the ground in such order as to justify 1e sowing of a crop of wheat, with even prospect of obtaiiiin a full crop. And irtnermonre. it itusually the case, thnt af r the laying by ofeorn.t lie grass and weeds cquire such a growth, as to render the eeding difficult and imperfectly accom lished; besides ahundantly furuihing in rn stalks. and other trash partially cov red, a commodious retreat for all kinds or tacts, such na grasshoppers, chinch 'iugs, essian flies, &c., to escape the rigors of rinter. which is doubtless one gratid cause f their rapid increase, and the extensive avages commtt~ittedl of late years oti our rops, In order to av.al an alternative that pre enils such unfavorable pirospects, somec ystem or rotation should be adopted that rod admit of timely sowing. in a soil tell prepiared, and free from the seeds of 1I kinds of wveeds avnd noxious vegetation, at might spring up and contest the right foctupancy. To secure these objects fully, would seem that pasture land~or at least, ch as may have been pastured duoring ie latter part of the summer, sufficiently lose to prevent all kinds -of weeds, &c. -Ov ripening their uceds, should be pre -red. The next object is, to properly prepare e ground for the reception of seed, an hjet too ofltn not strictly attended to. onto successful wvheat growers in our lat ude, (see Farmers Advocate. 31 vol. age 14,) recommended first coulteringvthec ad deep-in August. The coulter shouldI set to cut and open the ground, at least -em eight to twvelvo itnches deep; and if tde with a broad point, so much the bet tr.

It is not ong since I share these pijudicies nyself. I know tha bacon cured at the North and in the Wes was quite too large and fat for our tast and tbrerore any breed that would su their purposes would be quite too large ar. expen-,ive for u-s, and to eed hogs to weig two hundred or three hundred pounds i twelve months, and six hundred or eig. hundred pounds when full grown. woul cost more grain than we rould afford I give, and would after all, be fatter tha we could relish. I knew also that our do mestic bacon was always superior to theirs and attributed this to some peculiarity i our own degenerate race. I was awar that our common hogs are seldom fit fo br cou under one and a half or two years are great and unprofitable consumers, an< sometimes cannot ie fattened at all, yet thought that as every thing could not easil: be combined in one race, v e had to choom between an improved and profitable breed whose meat was not so good, and our ol stock, whose meeat was good but expen sive. The sight of a pair of fine Berk shires staggered ine somewhat in my reso lution to stick ito the old race; and the re collection, that I had in the spring, beet obliged tu turn out a pair of old barrows after a whole winter's feeding on potatoes and corn foir bacon, without any apparen improvement in their condition hien there was plenty of roomt for it, determined me to try ileilerkshire for mysef. I began to think whether the qality of Westert bacon might not be owing as much to the manner in ,vbich the hugs were fed as t< any peculiarity in the breed, and it appear ed to me to be unreasonable to expec1 that an animal raised all it, life in a smal pen, fed upon slops and cooked food, ant killed long before it could attain anything like maturity, could have much iean meat. which is muscle, and which can be ob. tained only by exercise and age. I there fore thought that an improved breed witi different treatment, would give different meat, and accordingly purchased three pigs just weaned. I have now had them eigh or nine months, and feel no hesitation i saying that they are more active and in dustrious, consequently better able toshirl for themselves than our common breeds and with a little corn every night, wil weigh at a year old nearly, if not quite twice as much as a common hog, with ex aetly thesame treatment. My experience coincides with that of other gentlemen around me in this respect. Let me not be ore kee; atnadiere is no breed that can live W'1h out eating, therefore persous must not ex pect Berkshire hogs to grow fast and keep fat without g-iod pastures, or some grnti but in return, they certainly make an am ple rei urn in flesh for any food given, anc to a person unaccustomted to see the growth of animals of improved breeds, thei growth will appear astonishing. They are very gentle anid domeastic in their hah its, being ftid of beiig about the yard and stable, and show little disposition to root when well fed. They are good breeders, raising Many pigs. Laissing says, that he and some of his friends raised annually twenty-five pig% to each sow, and that thev are such nurses, that when well fed ihey never lose any of their pigs unless froin accidenst. Like the Chinese, they masy lie fattened at any age, and make go0l bacon at eight or nine months old, yet they do not attain their full growth tnn ter lne ani a half or two years, ani! to have goll.juicy and leatn bacon.hogs ought never it) lie killed under eighteen months old. and two vears, and even iore would ie Iuch better. Let it nlot be thought that it would be too expensive to keep hogs so long, for as long as they are growing, and ti,thtey do for naore tihan two years, they pay well for their fooid. Atay onte who hans never seen a Berkshire hog itn good order, casn have little ideca how mutch beauaty, yea beauty, there is in one of them, atad I amti certaitn that anay one interested in breedinag haogs wotald tnever regret going fv,or even tena miles to see a fine Hlerk shire. lTaev aire so dometstic that they mtight very essily be raiseid in a smaall lot or field lay such planters as are opiposed Ic allowing hogs to ruta at large.

Mr. Editor.--lt wonbd appear thant"H~e breeding'' is to shtare a large portion of the tentiona uof thae commstunity the necxt year, It is a deser ving object, atnd might be mtadc iotha profitabile and agreeable, in propet situations anad under careful managemernti lit neither will that or any) other pursuit stcceetd, unless it be well attendied to and nade a regular business. Already there are aumnerous contrivances to stop the rav ges of the heemioth, but to me, in this, as in most other cases, it seetms by 'ar bet* ter to present the evil by keeping the bees strong and healthy;i and it is only a part of the. ..st.m which I have laid down for d myself, to consider the moth the efect, d rather than the cause of the destructon it complained or. i believe that the moth , has to desire to deposite its eggs in a hive, until it knows by instinct that the swarm I is unhealthy; by the putridity which is a then engendered, it is taught that its ser i vices will soon be required, according to t that beautiful theory so well set forth by t Agricola, "wherever animal or vegetable i substances are in the progress of decay, a mouths are found ever ready to convert dead matter into food fur living things." And this is no vow idea; I knew, ma. ny years ago, a person who kept from 20 to 30 hives of bees with uniform success, but he was peculiarly attentive to the mothe r and when he saw them fitting around the entrance of any particular hive. he knew I that the bees were sickly, and he would immediately remove them to a clean hive, by turning the box which contained them, t placing upon it an empty hive ; and by giv ing the lnwer box a few gentle blows, the bee% would ascend and tale possession : this was done in the evening, after the bees had retarned from their labors, and the next day they would he found busily em ployed on their new premises, without any fear of the moth. Now it is all very pretty-hese ingenious contrivances to de i ceive the moths by furnishing them with large and conventent entrances to sham boxes. brushed over with honey or wax, while the bees are restricted to one sumall iad inconvenient hole of entrance-but I do not consider that nature is so imperfect as to be so easily bamboozled; I believe the moths know full as well as the man, when they are inside the hive. and that they will not be induced to deposite their eggs in an out-house where there is no food for their young when they come Into exis tence. I beg therefore to repeat, I consid er the moth the effect and not the cause of the mischief; the sickness of the bees and the putridity of the internal atmosphere of the hive being the true cause,teaebing them that the labors of their progeny will soon be required to act the part of the turkey buzzard. Remove the cause, therefore. and the effect will cease-depending upon it that "when the constitution is in a healthy state, there is little liability to infection of any kind." Let, then, all those who enter the race of bee-breeding be attentive to this, and by shifting the swarms to other boxes so oon as they perceive them attacked by the moth, they will. I am persuaded, fnd that prevento is much easier than cae. With e e is no doubt. the cause. the boneyhy means of boxes and glasses placed on the top of the hive redtcing the bees to the necessity of ever breeding in the same cells, by which they become il thy and putrid; I therefore much prefer to add another box below, on remeviug one fron above, according to the plan propo sed in that interesting little work, "Bee breeding in the West," which is quite a manual ofthe art. lit Weeks' late work on the same subject, the evil here pointed out is admiited to its full extent, but, strange to say, it is proposed to be remedied only by transferring the bees to another hive ; it is said, "when bees have occupied one tenement for several years, the comb be comes thick and filthy by being filled up with the old bread and cocoons made by young lees when transformed front a lar va to the perfect fly: and are so contracted that the bees c..me forth but mere dwarfs, and cease to swarm;" and yet, by the use of the Vermont hive, they are compelled to breed in the same cells continually. It would appenr, th:erefore, that these patent palaces are constructed on false principles. Via. stnteCtNAL StRtN.
