HINT TO FARMERS.

Why is it that our farmers, or so great n part of
i,m, will depend upon merchants for what they
,y, There is hardly any article which the farmer
bo,, in which he suffers himself TO be so badly and
,lbe same time so unnecessarily shaved as he does
ngnss seed especially clover. Merchants, like all
as true yankees, like to make profit on the arti-
,s they buy and sell. They generally buy up all
dO grass seed that is for sale in the winter at such
rco as tho Boston market will warrant and then they
g0 carry all of except what they think they can sell
}ae among the farmers. When spring comes the
i,mers are told that grass seed is scarce and of
course the price is high and the farmer has to pay
ION 10 to IA cents per pound, which is much above
gctuaI cost But this is not the worst Of the Story
One pound Of clover seed in the chaif is worth one
pound and quarter Of clean seed. The hull which
rcoss the seed in its natural state il wonderfully
calculated by nature to attach the dirt to itself, and
ocOurse hold the moisture, and therefore will ger
inmate and grow when the cleaned seed will not, bo-
cause the ground is too dry. Although my ground is
dry and sandyyet for sixteen years pastJ never have
filled of having what we farmers call good catch,
when have sowed the chaff.
Let not our farmers say the season is dry and my
crop of hay will be small and my hay will be worth
more than the seed. his is mistake, for clover
generally, seeds the best in dry seasons. VIII our
farmers Try it, and then they will know that they
have not got southern seed, nor unclean seed, and
know also that they are not paying out their money
for that which they can raise on their farms much
cheaper, or will they say we shall get our faces smut
y, when thrashing t, and thistle or two in
our fingers when we SOW it, AN OBSERVER.
