while a shudder pa?sed over her frame as

the head from the hody of some one who
had been iin'ortunste enough to fall under
the ban of the leaders.

The pauper led the way in a narrow
nod fi'iliv street, and then down into a
cellar, and into a dark and filthy room. |
The other female could not but feel a i
sickening aetisolmn creep over her, but she
recovered herself. After contemplating,
for a time, the apartment and what it
contained, she asked I I

A GRI CULTURAL,
From U10 Southern Cultivator.
Practical Hints on Batting Wheat*
The wheat plant and iu eeed, being
very nutrition*, are quite subject to the
attack* of paraaitee, both animal and
vegetable. Of the latter, "rust" and
''smut" are moat common. Ot tbe former,
the Heaeian fly and wheat fly or midge,
are moat deatructive and prevalent.-?
Ooulti the wheat grower diacover a pre
ventive ol these evil*, it would greatly
ancournfire the cultivation of this staple
in the South, to the benefit of all classes;
but no sure remedy is likely to be found,
and palliatives alone are within our reach.
Late seeding is perhaps the l?est preventive
of serious injury from the Hessian
fly. This insect deposits eggs on the
leaves of wheat, first when the plants are
a few inches high, where they soon bateh
minute worm* which pass down the leaf
between the sheaf and stem where, near
the lower joint, they attach themselves to
the stem and grow to full maturity by
sucking the juices of the plant. The-fly
comes out early enough in April or March,
in the South, to raise a second and far
more numerous generation before the
wheat gels ripe. These insects cause the
Dlant to look sickle an/? f?ll ?r.4
sometime* wholly destroy the crop.
The midge or proper wheel dy, attack#
the seed when in the milk and before, it#
offspring destroying it in part, or wholly
as the starch and gluten are formed.?
Smut does precisely the same, only the
product belongs to one of the lowest
types of cellular plants, being a mass of
black fetid cella of extreme mixtorenesa.
Fortunately washing seed in bluestone or
salt brine will kill the germs of smut on
the grain ; and in clean land prevent the
malady. No seed wheat or oata should
be sown without first washing the seed in
brine, copperas or bluestone solution to
prevent black and poisonous heada.
The MEsrly May" is perhaps the best
kind of wheat to raise, as it rinans aarlia*
? - "" ' ?
than any other, end it therefore lee* exposed
to blight from rust or mildew, or
to d?atrucli? n by the second generation
of the HeMian fly. Rich land and thorough
cultivation are important elements
in wheat culture.
High Farming.
Three gentlemen in tbie county have
been experimenting this season on high
culture m cotton, in opposition to tbe old
method, of a wide extent of cultivated
land, to produce tbe tame amount of
pound* in yield. So f*r, tbe advantage
i* decidedly in favor of tbe new method.?
There ie a saving in labor, and consequent*
ly in wage*, in cultivating lb# field?few*
er mules being required?a vary import*
ant estimate, in the coat of tbe crop.
Dr. Durham baa also tested the value
of d'flerent kinds of manure. On that
part of the field enriched with it*l>le me*
nure, kept under a ibed and not laacbed
by rain, or evaporated by the tun, the
. growth is one.fourth better than that en
riched with an equal quantity of stable
manure, treated at it usually is in our
farm yards. Good judges estimated the
yield on this Geld, (August 15th.) at fire
oalea to three acres.
Several persons consider Mr. Kdward
Bancroft's crop better than this. One ea
timate was, the stalks stand 4X 3 feel?
averaging 150 bowls to the stalk to ripen
?as there was, at the time, a fair prospect
of so doing?one lb. to the stalk?
i 3640 lbs. seed cotton to the aere. Is this
a fair estimate t Should tbis method, of
j farming become general, the old cotton
