". The Anstralinn wheat is ft wiuter vn vrlety which has bceu jut roil m od witliin . the past year. It is a Itirse-siemmed, heavy-strawod wheat, with n very Ion? largo berry. Several farmers have tried i k in this Stato, ami aomo nf them Imvc Mind-h !lV" prnitfp largely. Still it hns not bucomQ a favorite. - In the trials to .which wheat has beeu submitted for the past three years, the. Australian variety seems to havo been wipeil out. Thcro are two varieties of Tuscan ..wheat- thoTuscnu llald ond the Tuscan Bearded. Hoth are winter varieties, nnj were introduced frun Tuaonny into the Stoto f New York in 1S37. Tho lierry 'of both varieties is large and whito. and tho heads are large, compart and well filled. Hoth varieties are tender, nnd liable to winter kill, and this defect has not permitted either to become generally cultivated. Where this has not happened, ' or where the variety has been acclimated, 'it has produced heavy crops. The Messrs. , renfield advertise Tukcnuy whcnt for sale, and could undoubtedly procure the seed of ; any variety which tmlit bo wanted. I,', "White Flint" and "Souto's Wheat" are two distinct varieties, lioth are whito wheats, nnd both are winter varieties. The first is supposed to have been origin ally introduced into New Jersey in 1S1 1. from Spain. .There is also a aort uf tra ditional claim that it was brought out from tho Hlnck Sea. Tho strnw of the White Flint is of medium length, not so large as thai of eomo othor varieties, but tough, olid towards the root, and Dot so liable to lodge, . The bends nro a medium length, 'wiiu from thirty to forty grains in each. The grain is whito in color, plump, not large, but solid, with a thin stein." Mr. Rawson Harmon, of Whontland, Monroe oounty, New York, states that a valuable peculiarity, is found in it, and which no other variety possesses to a like degree, and that is the tenacity with which the berry adhere to the chatr. This variety also is considered very hardy, and the heaviest crop ever grown on the Genesee Flats was from this variety and the lied ChnfT Ibid; the two giving wick 68 bush els and 43 lbs; per aero. . The "Soule's Wheat" was first intro- duced into notice by Jonathan Soute of Perrington,' Monroe county, New x oru, In 1836 or 1S37. This is a bald variety, having a straw of inodium length, with a heavy, full head. ' The wheat looks like a mixture of red and white; and some headd have . a . red chair an J ouw are whito; t The berry is white, of medium sixe. verv thin. skin, and vields a laruo proportion of flour of the best quality to the bushel. It has long boon a favorite variety in this Stato. but of late it has de teriorated, we thiuk, owing to want of care in selecting the seed. Tho IMue stein, and the " Canada "Flint, or Canada Club, or . Iutchinson wheat, as tho latter is sometimes called, have been found more prolific, and havo taken the place of the Soule's wheat with many farmers. While others have given" up white wheat alto gether, pn account ; of their inability to grow it, and have taken to tho Mediter ranean as being more hardy, and more certain to prove profitable. DOMESTIC RECEIPTS Corns. The best . cure for ihtue troublesome thiugn 4hat we have ever tried, says the Scientifie American, is to soak tho feet in hot water for a quarter of an hour, so that the corn becomes soft, and then trim it oflf a close as possible, and not cause pain. Then take the tincture of tho Ar bor Vita;, placed upon a little cotton, am apply to the corn, and after a few apiui caumts the corn will not only disapjwar entirely, but will not bo likely to return again.

We think we can show how much cheaper It ia to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars. We will take a late number of both. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 30 articles. the Lady' Book 02. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en gravings, the Lady's Book 50. The Two Dollar Magazine contained 64 pa ges, the Lady's Book 100. Twenty-four more engravings, , twenty-six more articles, and thirty-six more pages, nearly double the quantity. The lowest club pi ice of the Two Dollar 'Magazine is $1,25; lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,67, only 42 cents difference in the price, which is three nnd a half cents on each number, and for that sum (three and a half cents), you receive twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more engravings, and thirty-six more pages month ly certainly a very cheap three and a half cents' worth. This view of the case has probably never before been presented, but it is a true statement, which any lady can con vince herself of by comparing the two maga zines. TERMS, CASH IN ADVANCE.
