Ml Edss?In conformity to my promis?
last spring, that I would let you know t
the result of the experiment I recornmend- ^
ed to prevent the destruction of wheat by e
the weevil?viz: sowing Rye with Wheat.
I forward this communication. ^
I sowed two quarts of rye to a bushel t(
. of wheat, the rye blossomed a few days
^ before the wheat, and I observed the fly
on it busily employed as soon as it was in ^
blow: and found to my satisfaction that ^
when the wheat came into blow they still ^
committed their depredations on the rye. t|
The rye by branching, keeps up a supply
in a proper state for them to work on un
til they finish their business for the sea- "L
son. The last week of their work the Jj,
weather was very calm, and the flies were j
extremely busy on the rye, but very seldom
te be seen on the wheat. The result n
was the rye was a total failure, for, take c
a handful of heads as they come, and you 0
would not find more than one kernel to n
seven or eight heads. The wheat was n
not damaged scarcely any. 1 should not ^
think there was more than two kernels
missing in a head by the weevil. I found 0
in some instances more man irnny eggs j
in with one kernel of rye, so many gener- t|
ally that there was not enough for them ^
to subsist upon, and they of consequence
all died. Now, Mr. Edes, I think it much (j
easier to bait them to their own destruc
tion than to drive them with skunks,
bedghogs, pr even Loafer s long nines. "

J. B. Gray. Esq. near Fredericksburg, pi

cut to pieces by the fly, whilst this s(
wheat, immediately alongside, escaped n

aiiogemer. a
44 Of its productiveness, last season, at tl
least three bushels were made for one of w
the common varieties of the country. It n
has the largest grain I have ever seen, and fi
is a red bearded wheat; from which it is p
argued by a miller, with whom I have si
just conversed, that it will not make super
fine flour. It admits of being sown as fl
soon as the 15th of September. My pre- b
aent crop is so luxuriant, that, a month h
past, I was advised to mow or graze it, o
notwithstanding a heavy harrow had
been passed over it." d
Mr. Taliaferro has furnished the fol- d
lowing history of the wheat described, in "
a letter to Mr. Gray. The latter gen- t

HAOLEY.May 22,1811. t
Dear Sir,?Your note, desiring a history 3
of the wheat you had of us last fall, is re- 1
ceived, and I regret that my information I
in regard to its origin, does not enable 1
roe to give such an account of it as may I
t>e satisfactory to you, or to your agricul- <
tural friend in Richmond. In a con versa, c
tioo with my friend, Dr. A. Naudaine, t
United States Senator from Delaware, t
' - about five years since, 00 agricultural,
opics, I mentioned the ruinous ravage*
:ommitted by the Hessian fly on our crops 1
>f wheat in Virginia, whereupon he in- s
ormed me that the farmers in Delaware *
lad for some years cultivated a species of t
rhe it entirely exempt from the ravages h
>f that insect; and he kindly offered to l
end me a specimen of it for trial. Ac- I
:ordingly five years since he sent me a d
raction over two bushels' of this wheat, b
.nd we now have the fifth crop of it, and a
i remarkable fine one it is, without the r
east injury from Hessian fly, or rust, two t
ormidable adversaries to wheat. During a
II this time our other descriptions of a
rheat, injuxta position in the same field, o
nd often on very superior land, as well d
s that of our neighbors, have been seri* e
usly injured both by fly and rust. Such a
i my experience in regard to this wheat, d
nd such is the result in ail cases where it c
as been tested hy many to whom we o
ave furnished it the last two years ior r
xperiment. A few facts in relation to
his wheat will satisfy any farmer why it e
scapes the Hessian fly necessarily, and r
rhy it is more exempt from rust and rot, f
han any other winter wheat. It will be g
aund by all wha try it, to possess more b
nergy of root than any other known a
'heat. So that if seeded, as it ought to 9
e.betweeen the 15th and 25th of Sep. n
ember, though the fly will attack and cut J
AT the fall shoots, its energy of root is
uch as to leavethat uninjured. And in
lie spring, owing to this energy of root, b
he growth is more vigorous and rapid ?
han any other winter wheat, so that by *
he 15th of April, a few days before the A
pring fly begins to hatch, the ground. t<
>int of this wheat becomes hard and sa. ?
less, and consequently free from the e
pring ravages of the fly. This wheat g
ipens about one week earlier than any b
ther winter species, and is, therefore. ^
lore exempt from rust and rot. All I c
ould learn of Dr. Naudine as to the origin 0
f this wheat was, that it came from Ger- P
fiany, but by whom it was introduced b
ato Delaware he could not inform me. n
ill who cultivate this wheat should not r
mit to sow it between tha 15th and 25th c
f September?in all that month will do. f
t should be seeded thick, because if thin, 11
k* nnAAmmon tar ai ?hf r?f fh#? head will I "
,.v
ear much of it down. And it should
ot be harvested till fully ripe, for if cut in
le milk state, the grain assumes a dark v
nd unsightly aspect. Unless we could v
et rid of the Hessian fly, I have never 8
nown so desirable a species of wheat as v
lis. v

hich had been vastly numerous and de- tj
ructive for many years before, dead in ^
rcat quantities under it?as many as a
int or quart might be swept up under it
t a time dead. My first impression was,
iat the bugs died about the linden tree ^
fter depositing their eggs and terminating ^
ieir natural career, but such is not the
icf, and I now speak with confidence
fter several years observation and ezperi.
nee when I say, the hlossom of this tree
estroys them, and will extirpate or nearly ti

sems to be out of the ordinary course of s
ature, for we are taught to believe that ti

Messrs. Editors?Having spent aom<
ime this spring in Gennesee county foi
lie purpose of purchasing cattle for th<
Eastern Market, and seeing an ardent de
ire prevailing among a considerable por
ion of your intelligent and enterprising
armers of improving their present stock:
f cattle, I propose giving some genera
lints upon that subject?more especial!)
o those, however, who breed for the Eas
ern market. For steers and working
xen, I prefer the Devons to any othei
reed ; as their fine horns and beautifu
ed color, united with their quick, gracefu
notions, give those of tho same weight
>ver other breeds, a price varying fron
110 to 840 per pair more.
For cows, the Durhams stand unrival

Durham. I have frequently sold a cherrj
ed cow when driving, for full as much ai
' could a Durham, where the blood of th<
Devon was evidently to be seen, from th<
ine color and horns taking the fancy o
he purchaser. But I would not by an;
neans wish to be understood to rank tb
Devon or Holderness in the same clas
vith the Durham, but would either advis
he cross, or the pure Durhams for cows
would also suggest the evil which result
rom the too frequent practice of many o
rour farmers in overieeaing tneir ouuso
>ure bloods, of either kind mentioned
vith grain, dec. 4tc. in order to make j
* great show to their neighbors, in the sise
? of the animal, and also in publishing the
1 weight, at 7,12 and 18 months old, which
. is proof sufficient that they are not proper
, animals for sires. More especially where
s this practice has been persevered in for
' some two or three generations. Itisgenj
erally known that the offspring of healthy
3 men. who live and wade in luxury, hand
m '
r down to their posterity a curse which
* will follow them through life, and which
* cannot be easily shaken off; and most
B certainly whore two or three generations
f follow the practice of their ancestors,
0 their bodily powers sinking into numer*
s ous complaints incident to the human
family. So with the brute creation.
J And, depend upon it, if you rear calves
j from bulls that have had their digestive
, organs distended, the same will be band*
3 ded down, and if not fed with the stme
bountiful hand, such stock will sink into
* comparative insignificance.
s It would be much better for those rais
5 ing stock to seek that their bulls should
* be fed well; that is, have as much good
' hay as they wish to eat, and kept as the
? old saying is, "heart whole." A few
j roots in winter, say given as often as
once a week, would be advantageous per.
' J haps, and advisable, as in winter all ani*
mals like a change from dry hay, making
9 them most " hearty."
s I noticed a small stock of very fine
s Devons in Sheldon, in this country; also
r a fine Deyon bull, near Le Roy; also
* a fine herd ofDurhams, the property of
* Mr. Remsen, near Alexander, and the
8 i ery Devon bull, Red Jacket, near Batavis
* the property of a Mr. Cone, lately from
Connecticut.
^ All the above named cattle I would
particularly recommend to the farmers of
B Gennesee county, as they have not, I
B think, been over-fed, any cf them suffi.
. ciently to injure their stock. Mr. Cone
>f assured me that he had let his bull run
j with his other stock, none of which had
r any food but hay and straw,
ii This is the best way to produce
* fine stock. For what farmer is
there that can feed and nurse his whole
stock ? and what farmer is there that
t wishes any stock of the kinds mentioned,
B but that will improve his old stock, on
4 the same keep ? Rest assured that good
j blood improved your stock, but great leea
j to particular animals should be condome
nod.
a The Devens have proved themselves to
i, the particular favorable attention of the
* farmers generally, (excepting, however,
* those who keep dairies,) for hardy con.
* stitution, standing the long winters, and
* keeping, as well as any other stock on the
J feed. Yours,

* CRUSHED CORN MEAL?FBEDINO HORSES?
PRESERVING BACON.
Since my former article, in relation to
crushed corn meal, was communicated to
* the Register, I have been informed by the
r highly intelligent iron-master, therein at.
r luded to, that he kept his mule teams, of
r six each, fat last summer, though hard at
work every day, on a daily allowance of
one bushel of crushed corn meal, and the
1 same quantity of bran, mixed thoroughly
together and fed with cut straw?with a
moderate quantity of clover hay in the
rack. With corn at 371-2 and bran at
10 cents a bushel, this mode of feeding
3 would reduce the cost of a six* mule
team to lest than thirty cents a day, or
* . ?? j
five cents a mule, exclusive 01 nay ana
the straw mixed with.the meal. A sincalculation
will show every farmer
) how much he could gain every year, by
r adopting this economical mode of feeding
? his work horses; dc ubtless enough in a life,
time to buy a respectable farm for his
. sons.
r I was also informed by this gentleman
3 who is one of the best farmers and mana|
gersl ever knew, that he fattened twenty
r bullocks last fall on crushed corn meal, at
. much less cost than he could have fatr
tened in any other way. He is decidedly
\ of opinion that he saves more money by
] crushing and grinding his corn, than by
) any other economical process practised on
, his extensive estate; and I know no one in
i whose sound practical judgment I have
j grater confidence.
As ray sheet is not full, I would add a
word on another subject* A respectable
| neighbor informs me that he has preserved
f his bacon for twenty years, without the
i loss of a single piece, white, washing each
i joint, on the fleshy side and at the end of
t of the hock early in the spring, before the
5 fly depositee its eggs. He gives the pie.
f ces a thick coat of ordinary white-wasb,
s with the common brush, then hangs them
b up in bis smoke-house, where they remain
s until taken down for use. The white,
f wash does not impair the flavor of the

Considerable excitement has been ereated
among scientific men in France, by
a series of experiments performed by tbe
ilfarquis de Jouffroy, with the view of ira.
provement in steam navigation. This
gentleman haviog concieved a plan for
gettingrid of the inconveniences of the
ordinary steam paddles, has been for some
time working out hiitheory, and has only
very recently brought it into practice.^The
apparatus of M. de Jouffroy, consists
of two pairs of articulated duck's feet,
placed either at the sidefe or stern of a
vessel, having an alternative motion, so as
to open, in order to give the impulsion,
and close again precisely the same as the
foot of the duck. M.de Jouffroy's first experiment
was made in the canoe of the
raisin A* In Folia. Sr. James, near the
?""") ? ? - -?, - Bois
de Boulogne, with the model of a
frigate, made on a scale of 1 foot to 37
feet, and ?o constructed that the common
paddles or his improvement might be used
at will. With the common paddle, they
performed a distance of 130 feet in seven
minutes; the paddles having performed.
130 revolutions: at this the propelling
was completely exhausted. The common
paddles were then taken off, and the
duck's-foot paddles submitted. With
180 oscillations of these paddles, the
, vessels performed, in the same space of
time, a distance of 158 feet; but what
was the most remarkable was the fact,
that instead of stopping short when the
clock-work, which in both cases put the
machinery in motion, had rundown the
impulsion communicated to the vessel by
the steady and undeserved motion of the i
duck's-foot was sufficient to keep the
vessel moving 150 feet more. This experiment
was in both cases against the
wind. With the wind the vessel performed
with the common paddles 160 feet
in eight minutes, the paddles giving 182
resolutions: the impelling power having
ceased, the vessel scarcely moved. When
the new paddles were put on, the distance
performed in the same length of time
was 230 feet; and the clock-work having
run down, the vessel so far from stopping
performed in eight minutes a farther distance
of 160 feet. The report on these
experiments by the Committee of the Institute
composed of practical knowledge
is highly favorable; In their opinion,
the experiments on a small scale are sufficiently
conclusive to induce them to recommend
to the French government, in
strong terms, the addopting of M. de
a
JoufTroy's principle, which wu allowed
by many scientific gentlemen present to
be superior in many respects, to that of
the Archimedean screw, which has been
found so valuable in getting rid of
the strain upon the vessel and the Agitation
of the water, which is so destructive
in canals and so dangers in river navigation.
Another advantage i?, that M.
de Jouffroy's principle may be adapted
to vessels of any construction.?N. Y.

pobtbr's patent anchor.
The longstanding objection to the anchor
at present in use is its having, when
in the ground one arm, which is not only
useless, but frequently mischievous. It
is well known that the only reason for
having an anchor made with two fixed i
arms, according to the plan of the present
day, is to insure one taking the ground
on whichever side it may fall: and the
crther immediately presents a dangerous
projection, which in a crowded anchorage
becomes a hidden peril, frequently doing
incalculable injury to the ships and boat,
and only found out when two late to be
remedied. The patent anchor invented
by Afr. Porter differs from that in common
use by the arms being movable:
they fit into jaws formed in the head of
the shank, and secured with a pin or pivot
on which they move in byone direction:
this means, when inuse one arm is brought
quite down upon the shank; thus removing
a great source of danger to shipping
and also lessening considerably the
strain or leverage on the shank. A further
advantage presents itself in the improved
construction which the patent anchor admits
of. The arms and shank of a comraon
anchor being made in seperate peices,
and then welded to the crown; the
- * ^
risk, in the hour of peril, of taiiure irom
one unsound weld, is great. But ill the
patent anchor, the shank and arm* being
made apart, the latter can be laid up with
bare extending from pea to pea, thereby
securing the full strength of the metal.
It issaid to cant and bite quickly in the
roost stubborn ground. The advantages
in stowing, from the arms taking apart
from the shank, are strikingly evident.
Numerous trials made by an experienced
marine surveyor* Capt. Danbam, It N.
. ' t '
fully bare out all that we have stated in
regard to the advantages of this anchor
over that in common use; with this addition,
that the same effect is produced at
one-taentieth less weight. Each arm
has upon it a small projection or tooth
that serves to bring the fluke, should it lie
close to the shank, into a position for entering
the ground. From a personal inspection
of this anchor, and a perusal of
certificates of its efficiency, from officers
of the highest rank in H. M. navy, in
which its general adoption is confidently
expected, we have no hesitation in reCommending
it to the profession. For
steam vessels it appears to be peculiarly
fitted, as also for floating lighthouse*,
breakwaters, and piers. Brown, Lennox,
& Co. of Billiter square, are agents for
the sale of this patent anchort and they
will give every information to inquiring5

has proposed an amendment to the Con*
stitution in the words following, to wit i
ThatM Congress shall make no law to ?
rect or incorporate any bank or other mo*
nied institution, except within the district
of Columbia; and every bank, or other
monied institution which shall be estab* ?
| lished by the authority ofCongrem,ahall
together with ite [branchee and offices
of discount and deposits, be confined to
the District of Columbia;" in which that
State requests the concurrence of her ais*
ter States ; That the Statee of Ohio and
Illinois have concurred with Penosylvan*
ia in the proposed amendment; and that
the Stetes of New-Jersey and Vermont
have disagreed thereto. Your Committee
are unanimously of opinion, that as Co*
grtss is constitutionally vested milk tie
right to incorporate, a bank, it would be
unwise and impolitic to restrict its opera*
tions within such narrow limita as the
District of Columbia. They apprfbeod
no danger from the exercise of the powers
which the people of the United Statee
have confided to Congress; hut believe
that in the exercise of these power* that
body will render them subservient to tho
great purposes of our national compact.
Your Committee therefore beg leave to
recommend to this House the folio wing
resolutions:
Reso'ved, That the Legislature of the
State of South Carolina do not concur in
the amendment of the Constitutionefthe
United States, proposed by Pennsylvania
intha following words s? * Congress shall
make no law to erect or incorporate toy
bank or other monied institution, except
within the District of Columbia;, and
every bank, or other monied institution
which shall be established Jby the authority
of Congress, shall together with its branch*
