STEERING SEEDs.-We have been re.
quested to put upon record a fact in re-
lation to this subject, which may serve
as a caution of some utility to a good
many. A farmer soaked his seed corn
this spring, as he usually does, some of
it IL, and some of it "a, 80, SO, and up
to AZ hours. Towards the last days of
his planting the land became very dry,
and as there was no rain for upwards
of two weeks afterwards, there were
many parts of the ground so dry that
seeds could not possibly terminate.
The consequence was, that much, or per
haps all, of the seed corn which had been
STEPPED long enough to cause it to sprout,
co lid not procure in the earth moisture
enough to have the process, already com
menced, continued. The sprouts or swell
led germ finding no moisture. rotted or
died. Had as severe a drought as ae-
tually did occur, been anticipated, our
informant would probably have prefer
red to plant unsoaked seed in the dryest
portion of his field. He thinks that
when there is considerable probability
of a dry spell" after planting, it would
be safer to plant seed which had not
been stepped at all, than put any seed
into dry ground-already dry-which
has become soft or CT commenced to swell
or terminate.

GREEN FRuIT.-Never permit green
fruit to decay on the soil beneath the
trees. In every aPple,..pear, plumb and
cherry, which is pnematurely cast, there
exists a minute insect which eats its
way ont in time, and becomes the source
of evil to the succeeding crop. Gath
er all up, and either feed them to your
domestic animals or dispose of them in
some way which will secure you against
the results which must necessarily ensue
from neglect. Swine turned into or
chris the last of June, and permitted
to have access till the fruit is gather
81, guard against insects by destroying
the Wormy fruit that produces them.
