DRILLING IN SEED.

We understand that the above system of
putting in grain, and especially wheat, has
been much more extensively practicea the
past season than ever before in this State
and that it meets with almost universal IA
vor especially among all good farmers. Il
is claimed to save from one-fourth tc one
third Of the seed invariably; and further, tc
be much more likely to grow early, par.
Iticuiarly if the season is dry. The drilled
wheat last sp,;ng came up and grew right
along, while the broadcast sowed made lit
Tile or no progress until the rains came, al
which time much Of IT was picked up BY
the birds and other depradators. The
reason why drilled wheat did so much the
best was, because it was put in at uni
form depth, and deep enough 70 be kept
permanently moist, while much of the sur
lface-sowed was covered so shallow as to get
little or no moisture; hence it did not veg
etate.
| We know Of no good objection whatever
that can be urged against drill-sowing,
while, on the other hand. the economy and
safety Of it certainly highly commends it to
the consideration of all. We know thai
some object because, they say, the ground
must be in such good order; but we know
good reason why all old ground that is
clear of stumps, and stones, should not be
in equally good order for broadcast sowing
or drilling.
The cost of drills, we presume, is about
the greaest reason why they are not more
used, but if they will save fifty cents worth
of seed to the acre. they certainly will soon
pay for themselves; besides the important
fact that in putting in with drill, voul
work is constantly and regularly finished as
far and fast as YOU 60. We hope our far
mers viii interest themselves in this NATTER
and fully debate it at their farmers clubs,
and elsewhere; and if they find drilling to
be both economical and superior to broad
casting, that they will ere long adopt it, and
thereby most probably save some hundreds
of thousands per annum for the State and
to hemselyes.-Farmers AdVocate, CHI

EXPERIMENT ON Conn A correspon-
dent of the N. H. Journal Of Agriculture
writes: "First took two gilIs of corn and
mixed with one gill of SCOT, and water
enough to moisten it. Next | took two
gills of corn and an equal amount of water
and let it stand through the night. In the
morning ! took two gills more of corn, and
an equal amount of water, and let it stand
one hour. | then had the corn dropped
and covered as near alike as possible. The
result was as follows: That which was
planted with SCOT came up three days be-
fore that which was soaked the same length
Of time without SCOT, and four days before
that which was soaked an hour. After the
second time hoeing, the difference in coIors
as well as y height, could be told fifty rods
distant. That which was planted with SCOT
was Of dark green color, and the other
was Of lighter hue. In the fall, that
which was planted with SCOT was ready to
harvest two weeks earlier thar the other,
but didn't produce any more or better look
ing ears than the other.
