Ha.ro-zing wheas in the srri,e.

a correspondent of the Michigan Farmer
says that Mr. James Worthington, of Homer,
Michigan, had last spring lot of wheat which
looked SO bad that had not the field been seed
cd down to clover he should have ploughed it
up and sown ii with spring crops. Instead of
doing so, he took ''shafp strap-harrow'' and
with it ''tore the land thoroughly to pieces. .
He then rolled it down with a smooth heavy
roller. This covered the roots again and they
soon took hold and the wheat began to i'm
prove. The field contained some 40 acres,
ard the result is that ::every acre Of it will
probably yield over Is bushels and majority
over go bushels'' per acre.

SOAP Versus Hons and Crows.

Mr. Levi D. Cowles, of this place, informs
Us that he and his brother, Chester Cowles,
have thoroughly tried the soaking of seed-corn
in soap over night and rolling in plaster be-
fore planting, as means of securing quick
AID vigorous growth, and as remedy against
crows and hens; and he says that nothing
will give the corn better start, and that nei-
ther hen ror crows will touch the corn when
80 treated. We have often heard of this be-
fore. The Messrs. Cowles say it is positively
so.-NGsh's Farmer,
