Hints 10 FdrmcrS.-Therc are some
things that farmers ought to know-and a
nonS them, the following will be worth re-
mcnbcring
1t Ia an error to plant seeds from State
Further south. In n cold season, only the
seed OF acoldcr climate will ripen well.
Often breaking up the surface keeps
>oIl III health-for when it lies in hard
bound state, ehriching showers run oil, and
the salubrlouS air cannot enter.
Never kcepyour cattle short; few farm
erS can Afford it. you s,arve them, they
will staive yon.
1t will not DO to hoe grea, field for lit
Tie crop, or to NOW twenty acres for five
loads olhay. Enrich the lard aud it will pay
You for it. Better farm thirty acres well
than fifty by halves.
Drive your business before you and it will
so easily.
In dry pasture, dig for water on the brow
OF hill; springs are more frequently near
the surface on height than in a vale.
Sow your clover deep; it secures against
the drought.
Never plow in bad weather, or when the
ground is very wet.
1t is better to cut grain Just before il is
fully or dead ripe. When the straw imme-
diately below the grain is SO dry, that on
twisting it no juice is extracted, il should be
cut, for there is then no further circulation
ofjuiCc TO the car. Every hour that it stands
uncut after this stage is attended with loss.
When an Implement is no longer wanted
Tor the season, lay it carefully aside; but
first let it be well cleaned.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground
well, sow early, aud pay very little atien-
ton To the moon.
Do not begin farming by building an ex
tensive house, nor n spacious barn till you
have something to store in it.
Avoid low and damp site for the dwell
ing house. Build sufficiently distant from
your barn and stockyard TO avoid the dan
ger Of accidents by fire.
Keep notes Of all the remark able events
on Your farm. Recording even your errors
will be of benefit.
Sheep put into fresh stables are liable to
be killed by eating too much grain.
