FARMING OPERATIONS.

SAM rot s, if hot in the grouni, should now be sown,
as directed last mouth. The plant is a native of cal-
careous soils, and luxuriates where almost uothinc else
will grow to wowsr the ground. On clover-sick soils it
• is sometimes sown successfully, if the lend is dry, n,toad
!, of clove ; but it is not so well adapted for grossing
slung with rye-gesss for • hay crop ci clover, as the
growth of any kind of grass is obnoxious to it. As •
forage plant it should he used for soiling. When grown
in drills it is hoed as soon as any weeds begin to grow.
If sown brostlctst at should be wooded. It it • rest
consumer of lime and potash, and when the ground is
naturally I letictent f those, it ilisy be t .p•dressed
toward, the Owe of the mouth with from 2 to 3 cwt.
of gypsum, siol 2 Owl, of muriste of potash per acre in
moist wettlier.

CABBAGE rirll).—Sow for thinning out, as turnips,
so as to avoiu transplanting. Where practicable, the
laud should be deeply cultivated and manured in the
autumn. If in the spring, the land it smashed up and
manure.' in March, ore, early in April an the wee. her
will permit. The cabbage plant in • larger eonsumer
of potash than is generally provided for in the manure,
and therefore 3 cwt. of touriste of perash should be
added to the usual allowance of 3 cwt. of supertMos-
',hate, an equal wei.cht et rough salt, and from 2 to 3
owk of guano, or its equivalent. This, along with 20
loaded farmyard dung, way be thought heavy manuring
by those who only give half the quantity; but the
heavier you intend to grow your drumhead cabbage, the
more food they require.
SPRING FALLOWING, for ma.ngel wursel •nd other root
crops, should be well kept forward, weather permitting.
Where the land is manured in the autumn for mange's
very little is required in late seasons until the time of
sowing, but when it has to be mattered at this season
the sooner the manure is got into the land the batter.
Some, however, prefer manuring and seedir.g at the
same time. Much depends upon the weather and the
nature of the land. Very dry soils, when ruanured in
March or esrly in April, retain more sap far breading
and starting swede! in May and turnips in June than
when manured in the more drying weather at the time
of sowing.
Bulger (common) grows naturally on chalky downs,
and on poor osleareous dover-sick *oils, and may be
sown along with rye-grass end other grass seeds instead
of clover. It stands the winter frost well, and when
the crop covers the ground in autumn (rowen), it forms
exoellent food for sheep in early spring. For & clean
crop sow a bushel a seed per acre; for mixing with
other grasses, 8 to 10Ib., or G to 71b., along with an
equal quantity of chicory, on poor sandy soils for
pasture. Bernet was more extensively grown in Arthur
Young's time than at the present day; but although its
cultivation is thus on the decline, its peculiar adaptation
to certain soils for early sheep feed ought not to be lust
sight of.
HORSES feed with ctrrots is an old April rule—and
although steacti-power, with improved implements and
modes of tillage, have greatly "eased the shoulder,"
the current month is still a trying One for the teams.
In late situations the hack ward state of the grass is
against brood mare. and young stock, so that more
artificial food and attendance than usual will be
required.
