Excerpt from On the Varieties, Properties, and Classification of Wheat This little w'ork On the Varieties, Properties, and Classification of Wheat, by John Le Couteur, Esq., Colonel of the let Regiment of Jersey Militia, and aide-de-camp to the King, 1836) should. Be in the possession of every cultivator of wheat. We do not regard itas exaggeration to say that it will do more for the agriculture of the empire than has been effected by all the societies instituted for the purposes of agricultural improvement put together. Colonel Le Couteur has struck into the right path, and not only has exhibited that care and discrimination which alone Can render the culture of wheat com pletely successful, but has pointed out the means by which all the Cerealia may be managed with the fullest benefit to the grov'ver and to the public. To our surprise he has dedicated his work to the Central Agricultural Association of Great Britain and Ireland - an Association evidently not brought together on the principles on which our author's experiments have been founded; but for the purpose of keeping up rent unjustly, and tampering with the currency to effect that end; deeming the filling of landlords' pockets at the expense of the tenantry a fit object for legislative interference. Our author is a member of the Association and it is astonishing that he should address it with adulation while its objects are purelyselfish, and his own to bring about amelioration in the only manner that is rational-via, by select ing and improving the best varieties of corn, and cultivating them in the most economical manner.
