SOAKING SEEDS.

There is an exception to the oft repeated
directions to soak seeds before planting. 1t
is when the earth is so dry rs to attract the
moisturcfrom the seed. Then it delays rather
than hastens the vegetation, if, indeed, it
does not Kill the seed. In all other cases,
it is of great beneiitto steep, or even scald
the sceds. | have tried all methods for some
time, from soaking one hour to sprouting
various seeds, and the above is Tie result.

large amount Of manure, which is applied
in the spring TO the poorest portions Of his
corn ground, Con wheat stubble,) but the
quantity isnot half sufficient go over tho
land annually planted with corn. He
.ploughs deep and cultirates thoroughly, and
finds his land every year increasing in pro
ductivencss. siil
Tor the corn he p%loughs in the fall ito 8
inches deep, and in the S nc lists the

Lastspring, a field of 20 acres was so
badly killed by @frosts, tina, only a few scat

dinghy he ran a small plough between til"
rows, and planted anew, the 9th and 18th Of
June. This left the rows only about 20
inches apart east and west, and i feet north
