concerning the best methods Of produ.

il for the last three years, and have
always planted dry seed, and it has gem
orally taken it four weeks to come, and
very thin at thGt. When II first comes
up, il is hard TO discover il, o: cultivate
on ground covered with weeds, Os most
ground will be that remains undisturbed
long enough for dry seed to germinate.-
Last spring. hearing tina. il was better
TO soak the seed before planting, | com.
menced by putting tin pan and pour
ing warm water upon it. then, turning
of tho surplus wafer, and sitting thunder
the stove, keeping il warm, and renew
ing the warm water every day. I CON,
sinucd this process for two or three
weeks, yhon about one seed in hun
dEcd had fprouied, ! then planted up.
on freshly plOwed land, marked both
ways dropping twenty or thirty seed in
hill !! comes up in about two weeks,
averaging fifteen stalks in a hill.
The remainder Of my ground was sim
ilarly prepared, and dry seed planted, US
ing The same amount in hill II was
planted at the same time After waiting
three weeks for this planting to come up,
and finding that but one hill in ten had
come up, any in those only one two or
three stalks in a hill began to des-
pair ofraising q crop for the season was
SO advanced that either process would be
100 late to secure much Of crop.
With these facts, and the Southern
rebellion in full blast, and the probability
Of higher price for swcctening, in my
mind, after examining my cane on
Thursday evening, ] concluded. after
consultation with my "better half" to
try the following experiment. | placed
about two quarts Of seed in pan, poured
upon il. water as warm as lcould bear
my hand in, and stirred it up we'll In
tho course of a couple of hours, changed
the water. leaving It in wsrm place
The next morning to my surprise /
found all the seed had sprou,ed--some
oil them to full on inch. l Immediately
commenced replanting the ground pre-
vionsIy planted with the dry seed. The
sproEted came up in two or three days,
Tho cane from the first planting Of
soaked seed was ripe enough towork up
two or three weeks before that from dry
planting, which latter came up finally,
so that it stood about half and half with
the last planting Of sprOuted seed. The
two latter ripened at about tho sane
time. The earliest ripenod, made much
the best syrup, and was the frs. worked
up in the neighborhocd
The experience of the lasi season,
cOnvinces me that it is far preferable to
soak, the seed before planting Earli-
ness in coming up, in giving the plants
the start of the weeds and grass, insures
easy cultivation, is of nearly as much
importance as early maturity. Soaking
the seed accomplishes this.-T. D. Ken.
