PLowINa a word on this important
operation is all that our space will allow.
Land should never be worked when it
is wet. Subsequent cultivation viii never
correct the injury done land by plowing it
when it is wet We llol9 tao ri@e Our
springs arc SO short, that it is desirable.to
plow as much land in day as possible
But still it is bad policy to. .fop over such
wide burrows. One of the objects Of plow-
ing is to pulyerize the soil, This can be
better done with narrow farrow5 than
with wide fat ones. The best Scotch and
English farmers consider that the dPh
and soidth Of the iurrow should bear a
constant proportion; that they should be
rectilinear, and that, when raised, the OK
posed surfaces should be of equal breadth
on either side of the furrow. \ furrow
seven inches deep by ten inches vile, with
a lap of three inches on cash side the fur
row, and forms an admirable seed bed
when narrowed down.

THE OLD FARMER.

THE OLD FARMER.
The twilight ofilfe's autumn time,
How sweet its holy tpell
Tothose who rest from earthly toll
And know they've labor'd well,
such joy as thine, those hands have taught
The wilderness to smile,
Thy patient years ortoil have won
A garden from the wild.
Thy cheek that harvSEts stn's have tAHn'd
still wears hoalihml glow
Aud loves sweet fountain 10 thy hear,
Still glides with peaceful fov,
The years that upon other brows
Have set the seal of care,
uilishtly passed oe'r thine, and len
A crown Of glory there.
The hoary head is beautiful
when found in wisdoms ways,
with honor she has crowned thy brow
Blessed thee Vi ith length Of days.
On sunny hillsides strohg. hands
The ripened shcavcs shall bind,
And younger voices raise the song,
Al merry autumn time.
Thou't wait amid the mellow light
'Till angel reapers como
Te bid thee join, ,riumphantly,

How THICK SHALL WE SOW OATS -
An experiment made on the State Farm at
Westborough, Mass, to determine the hest
quantity of oats to SOW per acre, resulted
as follows Two bushels Of seed per acre
gave IS! bushels three bushels, 40 bush
els per acre four bushels, 80! and FIVE
bushels, AZ bushels per acre. Before the
general introduction of undertaking, and
other improved methods Of cultivation, five
bushels Of oats per acre was the usual guam
tity sown in England Now, three to four
bushels are sowu. In this section, two
bushels are considered sufficient; and in
the Western States, one and half bush
