variety of wheat, ed this considered,
drat has been growu in this cou,ttry in
•the last `f fty years. In 1872 I made a
journey to the place of its origin, ex-
pressly to learn its history
In Reed"Cyclopmdia, published about
thebeginning of this century, 1 find
the following description of one of the
English vari+ei:ies : "It is not bearded ;
14as a red bloeson, red chaff and red
s'teaw ; white grain ; the sample coarse,
being in price u.,d+-r the finest sorts.
It is, however, a great yielder, and re-
,quireslee be .cut forward" (early.) This
answers quite well as a description of
+oar Clawson wheat.
Long ago, an Englishman at Brad-
leld, walking throngs Itis wheat field,
was eteplek with the varieties of color
which the blossoms assumed, and after
-careful examinati al, concluded that
'these different Males were 'certain signs
'of a specific d.fference in the quality of
'the wheat. Impressed with thin idea,
le selected the ears of unlike colors,
.and particularly marked eleven distinct
',umbers, noting', very minutely their
'char8eterie+tics qualities and appearrnoe
in the field. These lie gathered when
ripe, and kept separate, and planted
them apart from each other in his sar-
•den. The same charaetcriatic ditfer-
'encea were observed to continue on the terhood. Having endured this gentle

A pretty May custom still obtains in
the mure primitive villages of Suabia,
Bavaria, and the Tyrol, distant from
the great railway routes, and compara-
tively untouched by the prosaic temper
of contemporary German culture. On
th first Sunday of the flov e y month the
unmarried girls of the hamlet, armed
with leafy boughs, visit in procession
the young wives who have been wedded
during the past year, and make formal
inpniry, in certain set phrases hallo
ed by long custom, with respect to
their health and happiness. Etiquette
prescribes that each ma►ried woman
thus distinguished should receive her
maiden visitors at the outer door of
the house, before which they take up
their stand in double line. After
thanking them tor their kind inquiries,
she passes slowly between their ranks,
receiving from each in turn a light
blow, inflicted with the green branches
as a mark of maidenly disapproval of
her faithleesriess to their virginal sis-

other varieties, and which produced
from six to eight bushels more per acre,

In these experiments that I hove
taken pains to condense, we find the
.door opened to useful knowledge. I
will conclude thio paper by sneeesting
