except such as may be IN corn, should be
ploughed. In ploughing recolect that
YOU cannot plough too deeply with any or.
binary team on your farm. If the field
you are about TO break no for whea, is
grass sward or clover ley, be sure TO take
narrow slices, and turn them down flat, so
as 10 Govern beyond the possibility of We.
setation. ell seeds Of grass or seeds of
weeds. We think all grounds except
where clover leys and meadows NAV be
broken up, would be the better of second
ploushings and repeated puverzation as
there is no crop that, probably, requires
finer, and deeper Nth, and that The grain
Is always better where the soil abouuds in
lime, potash and phosphoric acid.
Ihreshiag out Graia.-We have ever
been The advocate Of early threshing on,
grain. and especially so ,hat the grower
should avail himself Of the first opporlua.
iy which may present itself Of selling i, ad.
yantageous'y. By such a course, he Sc.
cures himself against loss alike from his
poultry and yermin, and from shriukage
"a loss that we are sure, amounts TO al
least 20 per cent. where the taTeshng,
cleaning and sale may be delayed 6 or 8
months, as is frequently the case.
Drilling in Wheat. We are convinced
that putting in wheat with drill is no, on.
ly The preferable plan, but that great saw.
ing of seed may be effected by il, and an
increased product obtained. To sow 100
acre field broadcast, as it ought to be, will
require 200 bushels Of seed; whereas 1875
il put in with the machine, will answer full.
" as well, thereby saving - bushels in
seeding 100 acres. The ti1ge raised BY
the machine protects the plants through
the winter; and in spring, if the roots
should he thrown out, many, or most of
them, will be covered by the crumbling
down Of The ridges. All that would be ne
cessary TO render this certain, would be in
the spring, to pass roller over the field,
as soon as the frost was out of The ground
and the soil dry, as the pressing down, or
compression Of The ridges, would necessa.
rily cover up most Of the roots that might
be found exposed upon the SUI face, and thus
ensure their taking root and growing
Besides, the intervals between the drills
would secure a free circulation Of cir
through the plants While growing, and be
particularly seryiceable 10 preventing TO a
very great extent, Inc gram from rust.
Ii the cause Of this disease Be amospher.
ic, az we believe II is, the free circulation
OF air could not fail to be productive Of the
good we have claimed for It.
