SoLos RoBissos-l would, If here apply it entirely
as topdrexirg upon grass land. Some Western soils
are full OF potash now and don't Deed ashes.
Striptd Squrrels.-I have letter from some one

oEs-Our practice Long Island formerly was to
pillow the land very much. Now prefer to plow but
once, ard that in September, and Immediately,
adding mature until Spring, and then top dress with
INQUIRE guapo or other fertilizer. We potato or
oat croakd; the sol is clay loan, and pretty level. 10
PENNEY vapia saw farmers turn clover sod, and SOW
and harrow In wheat, and get good crop. We count
thirty bushels Of wheat per acre tirstrate crop.

On new lands the surface is covered with that timely
pulverized coil, Of the woods mold After that's eI-
hsused the land fails to produce because the oEner
fails to pulverize It sufficiently. The reason Mr. III

worked curing the Summer and consequently does not
require much stirring at the time Of sowing.
Mr.. EULLER-My rule is TO stir land at any time
any month. l would like to hoe my garden every

Mr.. QUINN, the manager Of Prot. Mapes farm.-Tbe
| best crop Of wheat have seen was upon we'll

fered with superphosphate, and finally pulverised,
ard drilled in. and cultivated. Ii produced % bushels
per acre. Until We adopt some such Improvement, a:
general thing, must expect to hear Of continual
| failure Of wheat crops.
| JoHy G. Observation-Disclosures it may be in some
places as a general thing on Long Island, under
draining will not pay. 1t won't co 10 lay down an I'M
perstiye rule for understanding. We muet keep the

Mr.. QUIsS thought there is no sandy soil that will

increase Of crops and be thought IN drouth that IN
