Of the fmut there feemstobe two kind*-; the one comes out a little earlier than the other* but both fpn'ng from the fame root, and have the fmut formed in what 1 call he uterus^ or folium vagindns, fome time before the ear makes iu appearance. The «>ne that is the mMl early, comes out na¬ ked, the whole of its chaff being quite dep¬ loyed; fo that the dyft is molHy carried •ft by the wind before the crop i* harves t«d. Tl.is kind is confuiered as the lead eftru&ive of the two, as what of the duft lemain*-, may be removed when fpread up- •n the thrafhins floor. But I am not mite certain, whether the wind may not be the means of conveying it to found ears, at that tirre haftenirg to maturity in the tame field. 1 he other kind of fmut doe* not deftrny the ch ff 5 fo that the ear puts on a hea'thy appearance. The fmut is contained in round ba^g c^mpofed of a •a k green cuticle, which, when broken, discharge the. black powder This is ".ore dangeiou. than the other. a6 the fmuciy cars cannot be difiinguilhed from fuch as are found, even when placed upon the thraihing floor. The fmut is evident- ;v a minute vegetable body, "f the order of ungiy ard may frequently be confidered as a parafinVal plant , but how it comes, at f > early a period, to take poflefBon of the infant germ, is a matter hitherto unknown. It is ffi6it certain, that when thi* black powder is rubbed upon found grain, that 'he produce will be in general fmuttv. I have fomttime* found found ears to arife from an it:feded root; and I have fecn, though but fcldom, found and fmutty grains in the fame ear. The whole of this part of natuial hiflory. 1*9 wrapt up in obfeurity ; but it if a fingular happinefs, that the negative principle of fmut may be delroyed by certain fteeps, well known to the farmer. Thele feem to operate in a twofold capacity, by deftroying the germination 'f the Imut, and by allowing the farmer to flcim it off during the time When ftale urine and lime are alone ufed it is plain that the cultivator has no view beyond the deftruc"tion of the vegetative principle of the fmut ; a prac¬ tice recommended by many judicious farmers, in preference to brining and (let ping. to be paid for at the usual rate, sleep or eat in the Cabin.

On the mischiet arising from This¬ tles and other weeds by the sides of roads and fences. Gentlemen, 1 wifh you would, through the channel of your Magazine, point out the mifchief ariiing from the flovenly practice, of allowing thiQles, and other bearded weeds, to mow and (hake their feeds by the road fides, and along thc whole line of fences in Se mary farms, and which are annually car¬ ried by the winds into the adjoining fields, where they prove a fruitful fource of mifrhief. ^ Were a liitle more attention paid 10 thr* fubj &, and to the kind of hay feeds fo«m, much expence and labour wo..!d be faved, and fewer abfurd com- .'; ints made, of the tendency of particular fk;d8 to run to weeds. It is to flovenly p»actice3, that dirt is owing : " What- loeveraman foweth, that mail he alfo reap :" Whoever fows bad hay-feeds, will reap the natural produce ; and vice versa. I hope, at no diltant period, to fee a law, making diny farmers liab'e for the damage done, by t-eir bad management, to thei« j<t cleanly neighbours. Yourt, frC. R. S.
