these great advantages, the latest improved

II is we'll known thai many Of our most
successful wheat growers IN the east, men who
raise from 30 to 10 Bushels Of wheat 10 H..
acre, are in the habit of narrowing lightly
their wheat fields in the spring, and some both
harrow aud roll their grain field with marked
benefit TO the crop. All kinds of vegetation
will grow the better by being cultivated W.
dig around all our garden vegetables and would
raise bot scany supply, were it not for
thorough cultivation. II would be novel idea
TO advise oar farmers to hoe their wheat. We
have only heard this spoken OF in derisiou as
the scanty crop Of some pooT hoTSotrsd ia
field after a hard winters freezing.
Bot at the risk of being ridiculed allow Us 10
make a suggestion. You have drilled in ycur
grain on nicely prepared soil in The Fall, with
a gum Spriag and gum roller grain drill, tor
! this is The only kind we know of that will drill
with perfect regularity all kinds Of grain,-
, without cracking seed. When spring opens Up,
q say the last OF March or frat Of April, take
vonr clover seed, drill and team 10 the field,
n put your seed in the grass seed hopp-r psery
good grain drill should have grass see sower)

Won now 10 cultivate Immediately between the
n row ,your clover seed will be thus distributed
with perfect regularity, and as the seed will all
