OATS AND RYE.

Now is the season for sowing rye intend.
ed for a crop. The general experience
seems to be, that although this is very har.
dy grain, standing the winter better than any
other, yet the fall sowing does not generally
seed so well as that sowed in January. Let
it be sowed now. In most places in lati.
tudes as low as this, oats may be safely
sowed early in January, especially the black
oat, which is regarded little more hardy
than the white There is some little hazard
from very hard freezes, but they are not often
killed, and usually make much larger yield
than those sowed in February. We ask for
this very valuable crop little more attention
than is usually bestowed in the manner of
sowing. No work on the farm is 20 much
sighted as this. Any sort of plowing will
do for oats, is the argument. Now, we know
that any sort has had to do, but we think
we know equally well, that ample compen-
sation would be found for better work, and
that crop of such general use, and of so
much value, demands it. Pow the land well, !,
and as far as practicable, make the surface
smooth, that your reapers may have good
work, and be able to cut cleaner and pass
over more ground, with less labor in harvest.
BREAKING OxES.-.Ihe editor of the
Massachusetts Farmer" recommends the
following method of breaking oxen:
" When you first put yoke OH your two
years old.steers, coax them with an apple or
q year of soft corn,- (solt corn is allowable
in this CASEY then they will hold up their
heads and be glad to follow you No.whip
will be needed at the first yoking. Let the
yoke and the soft corn be associated in their
minds, and they will never be shy Of the
yoke: bat if you use force alone they will
hold down their heads to avoid blows. AT.

THE SUNFLoWER.

The sunhower is plant of much greater
value than is generally known. Instead OF
few being permitted to grace a parterre,
and considered only as a gaudy flower, ex-
perience warrants my saying it should be
cultivated by every planter and farmer as a
part of his provision crop. 1t can be turned
to profitable account on all plantations; for
certain purposes it is more valuable than any
other grain known TO us; inasmuch as it can
be made to yield more to the acre in ex-
hausted soils, with little labor, and with
greater prospect of success.
Its seed is Wholesome and nutritious food
for poultry, cattle and hogs, and very much
relished by them.
From the seed an oil is obtained with
great facility, as delicate, it is believed, as
that of olires
They are also pectoral. A tea made of
them is quite as effective as fax seed, or any
other in catarrhal affections. On one occa-
sion, this tea, sweetened with honey, was OF
so much more service to me than the pre-.
scription Of my physician, that attributed
my early restoration to health to its agency
alone. Certainly a favorable change did not
occur till used the tea, which | did upon
the recommendation ola citizen OF one of the
upper counties Of North Carolina.
Its leaves and stalk, in green state, are
preferred by cattle to any other provender.
| have thrown green grass and fodder in one
heap, and sunAower leaves in another, to try
the cattle, aud they have even commenced
eating the latter first; this have tried often
with the same result. The whole, cut up in
the green state, and boiled with cotton seed,
or little meal, affords delicious food for
cattle and hogs.-Farner d Mechanic.

at the same time natural. Once put on, it
cannot be efaced, except by the process of

how they apply it. The ladies of Paris, is
said, are so afraid oft, that they have an

CHEAP DRAINING.

1t is stated in the foreign correspondence
of the Michigan Farmer, that Il method Of
cutting drains has been adopted in Scotland,
being all done with the plow. 1t is very
useful in all cases where the ground is clayey
and tolerably free from stones. In the first
place common plow is passed back and
forth, turning out lurrow on each side.-
Then follows the draining pow, which goes
down from 2 to D feet, the mould board
being so formed as to turn the earth all out.
In this manner twelve acres in the vicinity
of Sterling were drained with three plows
in one day, the tile being laid in the furrow
Just as the pow left it. The earth was re-
turned to the ditch by means of scraper in
the form OF letter V, the legs Of course
protruding forward and team attached to
each leg, on each side of the ditch. We
have been long since satisfied that the cost
of excavating bitches might be reduced by
more horse labor than is generally used.
For instance, let Michigan sub.soil plow,
with ample team, be set in foot deep, a
thing very easily done, by throwing furrow
each way leaving but narrow strip in the
middle) the Crst foot Of the ditch is at first
thrown out with sufficient rapidity to pre-
pare some miles for the spade in each day.
By running twice each way greater depth
and more perfect work might be attained.
A regular and thorough system of draining
is at present quite expensive, costing some
twenty-five or thirty dollars per acre, and if
its cost could be reduced one half by the
application of horse power, it would greatly
contribute towards its general introduction,
and be worth millions to the country, lying,
as it does, in most cases, at the very foun.
dation Of successful farming.
