improvement Of Meadows.

From the constantly increasing price Of
hay, farmers are beginning to give the sub.
ject OF the improvement Of grass lands aud
permanent meadows their earnest consdera>
tions, and We confidently look forward to tile
speedy Introduction of undertaking, irri-
eating and top dressing permanent meadows,
to an extent altogether improbable. but for
our well known go-ahead habits.
The practice Of undertaking meadows
will appear ridiculous to s0me who have me-
yer witnessed the great improvement in the
quality and quantity produced BY il. I'm
derdraining lies at the very foundation Of all
improvements Of meadows. lrrigating and
tol,-dressing are comparatively useless on
any meadow surcharged nine months Of the
year with stagnant water. There are hun
dreds y! thousands Of acres which nov prn-
duce nothing but coarse innutricious herbage,
which By undertaking would become the
most profitable land on the farm. And much
Of such land is so situated that il could be
irrigated with very little trouble or expense.
a dam on natural stream, and cutting a
few artificial bitches, are in many situations
all that is necessary TO irrigate a large mea
dow. The English farmers are far behind
thnse Of several countries in irrigation, but
they are very far in advance Of American
agriculturists, while from their moist climate,
the advantages Of irrigation would be sup
posed to be less than in our dry, hot, shore
seasons. There are but few farms in Eng
land on which there are 40 permanent mea-
dows more or less ariiicialls watered. And
the immense quantity Of fudder produced on
these lands materially helps To keep up and
increase the fertility Of the upland portions
ui the farm.

The RusT IN WHEAT.-An old farmer--an
intelligent friend, who was cultiyating the
soil successfully years and years ago, informs

and as soon as it appears commence cutting
don't delay, but begin at once-and the
rust will die in one hour from the time tie
wheat falls. the nutritiye juices in the stalk
will rush to the-hrads, and the grain thus
managed will be nearly as good il not quite,
as that which is left standing to arrive at ma
turity undisturbed by rust. The informant
speaks from experience. One year he lost
his entire crop, IN consequence df the rava-
yes Of rust during another he saved it by the
course here indicated.

Curing Clover for HaY.

The season is near at hand when those who
are so fo-lnate as 70 have clover high enough
ought to reap il. Mr.. Edmund Ruffin, some
few years past, published an essay upon this
subject, for almost every word of which |
vouch, from some years of experience.
The plan is this :--Commencc as soon as
the dew dries of in the morning. Let it lie
in the swath or row until one side is barely
wited, not dried then turn over and lap the
swaths into wind-rows. Let il lie until the
other side gets barely wilted; then with hay
forks throw it into piles, enough to be con-
venienty taken with the fork to the little
cock or stack, presently to be described.
The improvement which have made is this
Finding that the scorching sun burnt the tops
of the piles. and permeated them to cunsi-
derable depth TO their material injury; after
willing both sides barely, instead Of piing,
take the wilted clover directly to the little
stack. which is prepared thus: Take pine
poe. the size of the wrist, about five aud a
half feet long. sharpen both ends. trim off the
limbs, but leave the bark then, with mallet
or small maui drive down stob to make hole
to set the end Of the little pole in ; then, with
the hay-fork, convey the clover at once to the
little pole slightly fastened in the ground.
Raise the fork TO the upper sharp end of the
pole, and gently pressing il down to the
ground, make little stack about al feet in
diameter-and so with successive iorkfuls.
until the stack is completed. The reaper
will see the Importance Of leaving the bark
on the poles--for the clover soon begins to
air-cure and settle down, but that immedi-
ately around the pole clings somewhat to the
bark--so that the little stack assumes gem
lie slope from the pole to the circumference
of the stack--assumins enough Of the rool
shape as 10 turn smart shower Of rain, with

other way that Know Of 10 stack or shock

plan will stand rain for a week without spoil
ing but il is safest to store il carefully the
next day after reapins il, taking care Ia
let a plenty Of air circulate around and
through il. II will very rarely be damaged
by its own sap; aud being air-cured instead
Of sun,cured, Mr.. Rufin says truly that il
will preserve green color, and many Of the
blooms will appear nearly as fresh as when
they we're cut; whereas, if you attempt to
dry BY the sun alone. the leaves and tender
branches become as dry as snuff. and you
have nothing but dry rats tails Of stems, with
crisped blossoms upon them.
When our people are sending TO Rchmond
buying ordinary Northern hay at dollar aud
half, and paying railroad charges to boot
il is surely worth while to learn TO make good
hay for ourselves. UycoTPF

Those who intend 10 put their fields down

the proper mechanical preparation Of the soil
They should recollect, that deep plowing is
now the order of the day, aud not al mere
matter Of fashion, but IRON the well-ascer-
tanned fact that deeply disintegrated soils
will furnish larger amount Of pabulum for
plants than those which are surface worked.
Where the roots Of plants can travel readily,
they must Of necessity come in contact with
greater amount Of surfaces Of particles, aud
therefore receive larger amount nf those
materials which have been rendered suited
to their use by the action Of natures laws.
They should remember, also, that in deeply
