From the Intell'gertcer. While r.a'ure has con so r.iuoh to favor the ciilt.vatio-i of Fiseed throughout most of the irc-a States, and while the demand for it is on;::n;fci in al! our markets, at remunerating nr.veJ, is it not singular that farmers have given solltt'e attention to its production? Having be..i :t5 ' Western New York, where this artkl.- is en cf the great staples with the farmer, arid having seen how much the Ohio farritrs iepenu upon it for a large portion of their reetp's. I have been surprised to find in all this ivjloa of coaiitry, accessible from St. Louis, so llule attention is paid to it, where, from the nature of tV.e soils, and the enterprise of the far-

The farmer should s;irt fit with this distinct principle, that to r.-.i"s the crop profitable he must expect to .cant the straw nothing, and look to the seed for profit. To seed well, it must be sown so t'r.'.n lh";t the fibre is too short and too ccarse to be ot much account. Six or eight quarts of seed,

important article in the manufacture of cotton fabrics. It has great bleaching powers. Every child knows that lime formations, especially carbonates and sulphates, are alike essential for the purposes of agriculture and architecture. They are essential to the greatest fertility of soils. By a proper mixture of quart aud feldspar, or sand and clay and lime, a soil becomes rermantly feritle. The three may be considered the essential elements of soils, though sand and clay, withont the presence of lime, produce vegetation. Both the sulphate and the phosphate of lime probably add more as tempo

rary stimulants of vegetation than as essential ingredients in soils. By takings review of the ides and ates already presented, as forming the elements of mountains, rocks, and Foils, no one can well fail of bemilies. Experiment: By applying the thumb nail and the point of a knife to the different lime formations, especially the carbonates and sulphates, it may be found which give to the former, and whether all yield to the latter. Their hardness, compared with each other, also with feldspar, quartz and other minerals may thus be ascertained. To rrrvrnt (lira Iron hnnting or t'rotvdittg.
