Shilling Wheat.
A correspondent of th? Richmond
Dispatch, writing from Loudon oounty,
lha grx> ?h?a( ragiuo of Virginia,
lata* that '.be farmer* in thai aoction
hn?? ftlraoftt universally adopied (he
plan of d'Uliug their wheal, instead of
the old method of so wine broadcast.
The adiulsgn claimed for '.bis
method are : 1. Only ha!f the quantity
of seed is tequired : tho* saving $1.25
in the seeding ?>f each acre of land. 2.
The wheal t* covered a uniform depth,
and m protected from the freeaes and
thaws of winter by having its roots
prote:teJ. 3. Where manures are used
their whole foroe can be applied direct*
ly in the drill, at a saving of over fifty
per cenL in quantity, 4. The facility
with which weed*, cockle and other foreign
vegetation can be cleaned from the
drills, and the ease with which it can
be cultivated. 5. And lafttlv, though
not leant, an increased yield of from
23 to 100 per cent, over the broadcast
method.
In most of the wheat growing States,
the seed drill is brought into use for
seeding wheat. The land being first
broken, the drill?drawn by two horse*
?opens the furrow, drops the seed, deposits
the manure in the trench and
eovers. The drill covert nine rows at
,0?ce?nearly the tame breadth made
by the broadcast tower?i? easily man
aged, and does the work of half a dox
an ploughs in coveting the grain*
The *y>tem of drilling U an improve
mem, in id? *ctenoe <>i whew I growing,
that thould eoininmid the attention ol
tha South. The Cool of a drill io tboul
eight)' fire dollars; and *hm uoal bt
a large farm, or by several farmer* unit
ing in the purchase, wnuM par for it
rrlf in a few WMom by the saving of
grain alone. A* the t-enaon for reeding
wheat i? cUr at hand, we commend
theee facte to the consideration of wheat
grower*.

ome of bit ln>pree?too? of ?b?t eitjr at

It ie cavernous, disagreeable, damp
deeolate, and very unintereeting. The
narrow etreete are arehed like cellar
vaults. h abounds in cavea and ci*
tern*, aquadoct* and tombe. Creeping
into a little fox hole jnet outtide of the
Damaecue gate, we wandered for hour*
through spacious and lofty Cavern* undermining
half the city?the ancient
anairiee discounted bv I>r. Baidav. In
Wifrtn'i recent tieav?lio?i we groped
through trehM and covered wave of
' llerodfan lint down to the original
rock of Solomon's foundations. Yon
are struck with the incongruity of new
and costlv modern buildings rising from
among the rubbish end decay of the
old city, and of no tire, except for the
pilgrims of all Christendom who with
jealous care their respective rights in
the lioiy City, and are kept from biting
and devouring one another by the sabre
of tbe Turks. There are great empty
Jtaoee of desolation within tbe walls
list inside the Dung gate I saw Jeru'
enlvna ploughed as a field, and got lost
, in the great cactus wilderness of the
Tyro pea n valley just where that mag
r nifioent causeway of Dr. Robinson's arch
ones connected Mount Z"?>n with tbe

garbage up tbe steep of Ziun, I wee run

A an u For Witt at.?A correspondent
of tbe Rural U?bilrm?o, in Delaware,
wrhes airongly in l.ror of aahes
to prevent ruei in wheat, and from experience
ha* found them of great value.
As to tb? effect* of a.he*, he *ay* they
will have, like Sbak?pear#'s "sherry ack
" a three fold operation:
1. The a?hea operate a* manure upon
the wheat, even in tbe limited quantity
of eight bushel* per acre.
2. They pu*h the wheat forward *ev
era I days, and in time to escape the hot
ultry days, which often prevail about
the time of tbe ** heading out " of the
wheat; and
9. They strengthen tbe stem, giving
it aubetatenco and solidity.
f may add one or two more proper
ki of the a*hes: They afford jual that
kind cf pabulum or food, which ie for
the development and perfection of the
grain, and wMi, in my ooinion, elan

How much manure do vi us* to
Alt Acme f?An acre of land contain#
48,600 ?<,uara feat, 4,840 square yard*
or 100 square rod*. Uy those who
bava used guano, it is said 300 pounds
is sufficient to manurwan acre: 302$
lbs. would give 1^ ounces avoirdupois
to tha square yard. One cubic yard
would give a trifle over one cnbie inch
to tha rquare foot. A cubic vard of
| highly concentrated tnauure. like night
aotl, would, if evenly end properly
spread, manure an acre very well. A
cubic yard of long manure weighs about
1,400 lbs.; a cubic foot not far from 60
lbs. A cord contains 128 cubic feet ;
1 i cord would five about a cubic fool
to tbe square rod. If liquid manure be

R*d Tapb i* Uuasea.?A Memel let
ter relat*? an incident wliich shows
that the rule of red tape is etill power*
ful in Ka**ia. On the 0th of August,
a fir# broke out in a farm hou?e in a
Russian village, just across the Prussian
frontier. The fire might easily have
been confined to one building, bv a sin
SU fire engine ; but, unfortunately, tha
iuaataoa cia w*/\ such a thing.
But tirl is near ; a fire cosine from a
Prussian village cume? rattling up to
the resctio, anJ, in ten mioutcs, can be
in full play. It reachee the barrier of
the frontier, but the firemen bad no
passports, and the whole village, with
the exception of three houaee, burned
dowu in the meantime.
A well known wealthy Parikhtn
has bad Jtimseif painted, by an enti'
nent artist, " a? he ? *," M as he fa,'*
and " as he will be " " As he wsi"
represents him, at the age of tweenty
five, a poor devil in ragged garment*,
with his to?e peeping through holes in
his shoes, sinking, half lamishtd, by the
side of a wall. u A* be is," figures him
fat and jolly as an alderman, well-dressed
with gold chains decking hi* waistcoat
and diamond tings binning on his
finger*. And in " as he will be," he i?
made a rotting hideous corpse. Not
Mhe least single feature of such a singu
lar freak, i* the fact that be has the
, paintings hung in his drawing room.
