Some of the superior Sdrantages of the Drill to the
Cast ilusbernaiy pointed out, particularly
for Turrnps, Beans, Potatces,
Drill lin.htmdly is toe practice of a garden
b,,,,igtit into the field
In drilling, the laud must he well cultivated and in fine
order; the seed is sown or set at proper distances, in trenches
of rt proper depth drawn regularly on the top of the ridge.
By being equally and speedily eurered, it is protected from
vermin and other injuries. The deep furrows drain off the
superfluous water, which, if allowed to stagnate, would pre-
vent vegetation; the intervals between the rows may be
horse-hoed frequently ; and therei,y nourishment may re-
peatedly he given to the plants, and the weeds almost totally
extirpated. Ti•ie effect is the same which digg,ing has upon
young shri.lts in a garden. In dril!ing, no more plants are
raised on the soil than it can well support ; if any are
particularly over crowded, they may he censored by
hand weeding or superficial hand•hoeing. But horse-hoeing,
besides the facilii! with which it cleans the ground, also di.
tides-and breaks and eau, affords tcthe-plants the full
advantage of all its fertility; so that the practice of the gar-
den is literally introduced into the field; and the least refice•
tine will point-out the superiority of thi, to ariy other mode.
Tile extra expence of drilling is generally much more than
repaid by the superior goodness and value of the crops---4rom,
the quantity of seed saved, arid flora the cireuinstanco that
hurse-hoeing is less expensive than haud-hoeing. In tht
broad-ca,t method, the land is selders so well tilled, cr so
finely dressed, as is required for the drill system. The seed
falls in some places too thick in others too thin; and being
imperfectly covered a part of it is devoured by vermin, white
another part is left exposed to frost, or rain, or heats, which
greatly injure it. Whelk harrowed in, part of the seed is be-
vied so deep, that if the soil bet wet, it perishes before it can
vegetate. When the seed is 30W14 in this manner, the growth
of the crop must he itregular. The toil cannot prcperiy be
itrolien to give it more !tout ishment nor can even the weeds
and superfluous plants be destroyed without much inconve- 1
nience and mischief.

In either.of the above nmdes, no care in tilling the land,
previous to towing, can prevent weeds rising with the crop;
if these are not destroyed, they will prove injurious and re-
tard its growth; which, in the broad-cast husbandry, cannot
he done, but in drilling will be easily effected by the agency
of the horse-hoe.
