RYE A PREVENTIVE OF WEEVIL IN WHEAT. .
SangervilJc, May 8, 1841.
Mr Edt3S?In conformity to my prom,
ise la9t spring, that [ would let you know t
the result of the experiment I recommend- ^
ed to prevent the destruction of wheat by
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 davs
^ before the wheat, and I observed the fly C
on it busiiy employed as soon as it was in t
blow: and found to my satisfaction that t
when the wheat came into blow they still (
committed their depredations on the rye. ^
The rye by branching, keeps up a supply
in a proper state for them to work on un.
? - ...... . ? .i 1'
til they finish their business tor the sea- "
son. The last week of their work the J
weather was very calm, and the flies were '
extremely busy on the rye, but very sel.
dom to 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 r.ot find more than one kernel to r
seven or eight heads. The wheat was
not damaged scarcely any. I should not ^
think there was more than two kernels Q
missing in a head by the weevil. I found 0
in some instances more than thirty egg a j
in with one kernel of rve, so many generally
that there was not enough for them ^
to subsist upon, and they of consequence
all died. Now, Mr. Edes, I think it much ^
easier to bait them to their own destruction
than to drive them with skunks,
hedghogs, pr even Loafer's long nines. I

J, B, Gray, Esq. near Fredericksburg, p
Va., gives in the last Southern Planter a a
description of a kind of wheat which is tl
termed "Jfy-proofintroduced into that a:
county by the Hon. Jno. Taliaferro. He tl
ays; f?
M Whether, in the abstract, or practical, ai
ly, the opinion of several farmers, for two ei
or three seasons, authorise the opinion d
that it is Jly:proof, and in one case, the or- s<
dinary wheat of the conntry was entirely tl
-I i
cut to pieces ny inc ny, wnusi mis s<
wheat, immediately alongside, escaped n
altogether. a
44 Of its productiveness, last season, at tl
least three bushels were made for one of u
the common varieties of the country. It ri
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 s<
just conversed, that it will not make superfine
flour. It admits of being sown as fl
soon as the 15th of September. My pre- b
sent 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 fob d
lowing history of the wheat described, in i(
a letter to Mr. Gray. The latter gen- t
tleman, in communicating the same to o
K the editor of the Planter, under date of I
3d inst. says?44 Up to this date there is t
no appearance of fly in my crop, whilst I
an adjoining field is materially injured by a
that insect." l<
HAGLEY.May 22, 1811. t
Dear Sir,?Your note, desiring a history y
or the wheat you had of us last fall, is re- r
ceived, and I regret that my information b
in regard to its origin, does not enable *
roe to give such an account of it as may b
bo satisfactory te you, or to your agricul- c
turn! friend in Richmond. In a conversa- c
tion with my friend, Dr. A. Naudaine, b
United States Senator from Delaware, t
about 5ve years since, oo agricultural,
topics, I mentioned the ruinous ravages
committed by the Hessian fly on our crops
of wheat in Virginia, whereupon he informed
me that the farmers in Delaware
had for some years cultivated a species of
ivhe it entirely exempt from the ravages
sf that insect; and he kindly offered to
send me a specimen of it for trial. Accordingly
five years since he sent me a
fraction over two bushels1 of this wheat,
ind we now have the fifth crop of it, and
i remarkable fine one it is, without the
east injury from Hessian fly, or rust, two
formidable adversaries to wheat. During
ill this time our other descriptions of j
vheat, in juxta position in the same field,
ind often on very superior land, as well (
ts that of our neighbors, have been seru <
>usly injured both by fly and rust. Such
s my experience in regard to this wheat, <
ind such is the result in all cases where it <
tas been tested hy many to whom we i
lave furnished it the last two years tor
sxperiment. A few facts in relation to
his wheat will satisfy any farmer why it i
scapes the Hessian fly necessarily^ and
rhy it is more exempt from rust and rot,
han any other winter wheat. It will be i
bund by all whetry it, to possess more I
mergy of root than any other known j
vheat. So that if seeded, as it ought to i
>e. betweeen the 15th and 25th of Sep- i
ember, though the fly will attack and cut ,
iff the fall shoots, its energy of root is
uch as to leavethat uninjured. And in
he spring, owing to this energy of root, '
he growth is more vigorous and rapid <
han any other winter wheat, so that by 1
he 15th of April, a few days before the 1
pring fly begins to hatch, the ground- 1
lintof this wheat becomes hard and sa- <
less, and consequently free from the ?
pring ravages of the fly. This wheat I
ipens about one week earlier than any J
ther winter species, and is, therefore,
nore exempt from rust and rot. All I <
ould learn of Dr. Naudine as to the origin '
f this wheat was, that it came from Ger- I
nany, but by whom it was introduced '
ato Delaware he could not inform me. 1
Lll who cultivate this wheat should not 1
mit to sow it between the 15th and 25th 4
f September?in all that month will do. J
t should be seeded thick, because if thin, 1
be uncommon weight of the head will '
ear much of it down. And it should
ot be harvested till fully ripe, for if cut in
"?e milk state, the grain assumes a dark 1
nd unsightly aspect. Unless we could 1
et rid of the Hessian fly, I have never '
nown so desirable a species of wheat as 1
lis. '
I am, dear sir, faithfully yours, 1

hich had been vastly numerous and de- t
ructive for many years before, dead in ^
reat quantities under it?as many as a ?
int or quart might be swept up under it

lat the bugs died about the linden tree j
fter depositing their eggs and terminating s
ieir natural career, but such is not the
ict, and I now speak with confidence

when I say, the blossom of this tree
estroys them, and will extirpate or nearly t

jshing into the enjoyment of the delicious t
agrance and honey of this flower, they t
recipitate themselves on their own de. c

Disease in Oats calle d 44 seooiifo."
44 There is a disease by which oats are
sometimes extensively affected, called
'Sedging the oats heard well, and con*
tinue for some time apparently to thrive,
but soon get into a bushy ntate, and the
leaves become broad., like flags or 'sedge.'
Upon examining the roots, i:hey are found
diseased and full of tubercles, which, upon
being opened, contain a redish powder
and animaleulae ;?the plants, incapable
of bringing their seed to perfection, con*
tinue some time in this state and then die
away, reducing the crop, both in quantity
and quality, to almost nothing. Potato
oats are more liable than others to this
disease, and early crops hate been attacked,
while thosiof very inferior quality,
and cut green, have escaped. Were a
discovery to be made of the cause and
cure of the disease, it woi ld confer an
obligation on the farming interest to
make it known."

ease in oats, we have always observed its

bad left with us a. specinen of this
new species of Cotton, which we
would be pleased to show our
Friends. For fineness and beauty of texture,
and length of staple, it is, without i
exception,the most superiorlirticle we have
sver seen. Specimens of the plant, together
with the cotton in the seed and
boll, are to be seen at Messrs. Anderson.
Walker & Co's. It differs from the
:ommon cotton and the Okra cotton
both, in having no large branches?the
plant growing in a straight stem, with the
bolls growing in clusters around it, generally
five in a cluster. It matures, also,
more rapidly than common cotton, and
sonsequentlyjshould not be planted earlier
than the 12th or 20tl* of May. We deem
it cmioently worth a trial in this latitude.

Patent Shingle Cutter.?When
we called attention to this machine last
week, we had not then se?n it; we have
iince taken occasion to examine it and
witness its performance. It is indeed
rery simple in its construction, but is only
he more valuable on that account, since
t requires no great mechanical skill to
mild one and put in complste operation,
either by water, horse, or hand power.
Die shingles which it turnaout, are supeior
to any drawn by hand, and are fit
:or use as they come from the machine.
With horse or water power, we suppose it
would easily cut twenty or t hirty thousand

-night be made to cut staves for barrels or
tubs with the same facility. The followng

PRESERVING BACON.
Since my former article, in relation i
crushed corn meal, was communicated
the Register, I hare been informed by tl
highly intelligent iron-master, therein a
hided to, that he kept his mule teams, <
six each, fat last lummer, though hard i
work every day, on a daily allowance <
one bushel of cruiihe-d corn meal, and tl
-t ti
same quantity ot bran, mixed tnorougni
together and fed with cut straw?with
moderate quantity of clover hay in tfc
rack. With corn ait 371-2 and bran t
19 cents a bushel, ithis mode offeedin
would reduce the cost of a six- mul
team to less than thirty cents a day, <
five cents a mule, exclusive of hay an
the straw mixed with the meal. A sit
gle calculation will show every farm<
how much he could gain every year, b
adopting this economical mode offeedin

I was also informed by this gentlema
who is one of the best farmers and mana
gersl ever knew, that he fattened twent
bullocks last fall on crushed corn meal, t
much less cost than he could have fa
tuned in any other way. He is decidedl
of opinion that he saves more money b

gentleman having concieved a plan for 1
vc getting rid of the inconveniences of the
. ordinary steam paddles, has been for some i
1 time working out hie theory, and has only i
ne very recently brought it into practice.^? 1
t0 The apparatus of M. de Jouffroy, consists |
of two pains of articulated duck's feet, (

'Id vessel, having an alternative motion, so as
od to open, in order to give the impulsion,

as periment was made in the canoe of the
>r. Jardio, de la Folia, St. James, near the
Bois de Boulogne, with the model of a
OK frigate, made on a scale of 1 foot to 37
feet, and so constructed that the common
paddles or his improvement might be used
ne at will. With the common paddle, they
90 performed a distance of 130 feet in aev*
s? en minutes; the paddles having performed
? 130 revolutions: at this the propelling
,? was completely exhausted. The common
18 paddles were then taken off, and the
>m duck'a-foot paddles submitted. With
j, 180 oscillations of these paddles, the
r 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
1 impulsion communicated to the vessel by
w' the steady and undeserved motion of the
? duckVfoot was sufficient to keep the
19 vessel moving 150 feet more* This ex*
' ? periment was in both cases against the
* wind. With the wind the vessel per'
* formed with the common paddles 160 feet
in eight minutes, the paddles giving 182
, resolutions: the impelling power having
6 ceased, the vessel scarcely moved. When
n* the new paddles were put on, the distance
performed in the same length of time |
0 was 230 feet; and the clock-work having
e run down, the vessel so far from stopping
!r* performed in eight minutes a farther dis* |
n* tanee of 160 feet. The report on these \
1 experiments by the Committee of the In*
10 stitute composed of practical knowledge i
is highly favorable; In their opinion, t
the experiments on a small scale are suf* J
ficiently conclusive to induce them to re* 1
commend to the French government, in r
_ strong terms, the addopting of M. de *
Jouffroy's principle, which was allowed 1

to be superior in many respects, to that of o

in the house OF b e pees bmt ati vbi,
decexbeb 11, 1821.
The soecial Committee, to whom warn
referred the resolution from the see*
jral States of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
Jersey, Vermont, and Illinois, beg leave
to Report, That they have had the same
inder consideration, and find, that the
Stateof Pennsylvania, by iu resolution
?as proposed an amendment to the Con*
rtitution in the Words following, to wit t
rhatM Congress shall make no law to 6*
rect or incorporate any bank or other roe*
nied institution, except within the district
rf Columbia; and every bank, or other
monied institution which shall be estab*
lished by the authority of Congress, shall,
together with its (breeches and offices
rf discount and deposits, be confined to
the District of Columbia;'* in which that
State requests the concurrence of her ais?
ter States; That the States of Ohio and
Illinois have concurred with Penosylvan*
ia in the proposed amendment; ana that
the States of New-Jersey and Vermont
have disagreed thereto. Your Committee
ire unanimously of opinion, that as Cow*
grtss is constitutionally outod with ths
right to incorporate, a bankt it would be
unwise and impolitic to restrict its opera*
tions within such narrow limits as the
District of Columbia. They apprehend
no danger from the exercise of the powers
which the people of the United States .
have confided to Conarem: but believe
O w
that in the exercise of these powers, that
body will render them subservient to the
great purposes of our national compact,
i our Committee therefore beg leave to
recommend to this House the following
evolutions:

rhich shall be established J)y the authority
if Congress, shall together with its braochs
and offices of discount and deposite,
