TIME TO PREPARE FOR SPRING.

r Do not let the fall pass without hav-
ing something done to facilitate the
spring work. Farmers should recol-

for destroying weeds. briars and other

and many other things that the time
would fail us to mention. All the nee
essary work that might be done in the
fall, that is too often left as being

ADVANTAGES OF DRILL CULTURE.

We cannot too strongly urge upon
our brother farmers the propriety of
putting in their wheat with the drill.
The advantages ofdrilling wheat have
been so often held up to view, that a
repetition of them might seem unnec
essary, yet we can hardly forbear to
name a few Of the most important
And first with regard to II sving of
seed. 1t is fully concedsj that wheat
put in with the drill need not DC sown
80 thick by perhaps one peck Per acre,
as that sown broadcast. Wheat is
now 81 go per bush. and to many
farmers good clean seed wheat will be
worth much more. Here, then, is a
saving Of 81 cents per bushel. or
enough to pay for adrill in the amount
required TO SOW less than 600 acres
Where several farmers who live near
each other join in purchasing a drill,
as is frequently the case, il would in a
very few years pay for itself in the sa-
wing of seed alone.
But this is only one of its advanta-
ges. tits the most efeetual means
yet discovered for preventing the win
ter,kill, 10 which the crop on a large
proportion Of our western lands is very
liable. How does it do il? First
The drill leaves the ground in small
burrows, beneath the centre OF which
the seed is planted. During the free
zing and thawing of winter. the fine

dirt is continually falling into these
from the ridges on either side. and
covering the roots Of the young plants
rs they are elevated by the lifting
process Of the frost
Secondly. The seed being buried
ut a uniform depth and in very COM
pact rows. the plants on coming up.
form kind Of tuft which greatly pro-
tects the roots from the piercing winds,
whereas, in hand-sown wheat. the
plants being isolated, form little pro-
lection for each other, and are much
more easily drawn out Of the ground
by the frost, than il in compact rows
or punches, for ii is evident the roots
of single plant will be much more
earily broken or loosened than those
of large number all united together.
But if our reasoning were false, the
evidence in the case, is indisputable.
Drilling does, in great measure. pie-
vent the winter-kilL
Conyersing. a short time since, with
an intelligent farmer, and successful
wheat grower, on the advantages oil
the wheat drill. he pointed to n field in
which he did not think there would
have been three bushels TO the acre,
the past harvest. had it not been sown
with the drill. From the appearance
Of the stubble, we should think il has
yielded good average crop. or an
other field Of ten acres, he said he was
not positive but the drill has paid fol
itself on this field alone the past sea-
son. Having used drill from their
first introduction into our county, hi:
Judgment is certainly entitled to re-
spect Many others, with like expe'
renee, speak Of the drill in similar
terms, and, in fact. we have yet tc
hear Of n single farmer who discard'
its use after having giving it fai
trial.
AS we have incidentally limited, sew
eral farmers of one neighborhood ma,
unite and purchase drill, sow all thei
wheat with it, and then hire it out Il
their neighbors. la this way almos
any farmer may have one to do all hi
seeding. An outlay Of some $40 o
S15 each, is all that is required. o
course every one who sows two acre
of wheat should have one himself ifh
is able to do so. X.

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.

George ID. Norris, OF NEWMARKET,
in the Northern part Of Alabama, and
within few miles of the Tennessee
line, where the thermometer some
times sinks TO zero. and az sin rises SO
as to render FIRE uncomfortable, has
been for many years past very success
full in keeping the sweet potato. He
expresses the opinion, in the Farmers
Companion, that sweet potatoes may
be kept as well at the North as at the
South. He does not usually lose a
peck in 400 bushels.
His method is in substance as fol-
lows:
Provide good open shed; on dry.
well-drained piece Of ground, around
which a good trench is cut AS soon
as the autumnal frosts haye killed the
leaves. carefully dig the potatoes.
handling them as if eggs, and make
piles Of them under the shed, each
pile containing say 10 or 20 bushels,
The separate piles are for the sakeof
removing poruon as wanted, during
warm weather in winter. without dis
turbing the rest. Immediately cover
each pile thickly with good 'cheat straw
mot hay, as light Injuries them. and
the straw with foot of earth. The
The shed keeps the whole dry. This
is the whole process. 1t is found much
better than packing in barrels with
sand, which retains the moisture and
rots them. The moisture is absorbed
by the straw. They should never be
bruised.
The most successful keeper Of the
COMMON potato whose practice we ever
knew, always covered his large heap:
TO or 30 bushels) with straw packed
foot thick, which absorbed the un
necessary moisture. so that he rarely
lost peck in one Of these large heaps
Only three OF four inches of earth wa:
needed outside the straw; and if he
had covered the whole with shed
doubtless the roots would have beer
still more secure from any danger
