Planting Seeds.

As the season has about arrived whom seeds
should be planted, few remarks concerning
this operation may not be amiss. As early as
the ground is in ct condition tho seeds of
hardy annuais may be sown. They may not
start, but If they do they will be SO much
earlier than those later sown, that it will be
advisable to run the risk of losing few seeds
rather than 10 lose an early bloom of flowers
Ii hot bed can be had, seeds Of half hardy v
and tender ANIMALS may be sown TO be trans
planted when the weather is sufficiently warm
to make it safe to do so.
In planting in the open air. seeds should not
be put into the ground until the surface soil Is
tolerably dry. If the ground is hard and stiff
1T will be better to put in a spadeful OF lighter
soil In which to SOW the seeds, particularly
when hey arc very small. Be very careful
not to SOW the seeds too deep. A little sprink-
ling Of fne soil over small seeds is sufficient
Most of the failures of seed to germinate
arise from too deep planting.
Do not plant too thickly. Where too many
seeds are planted the plants come up so thick
ly that they are spindling and weak, and it is
impossible to thin them out soon enough to
avoid this. Of course moro than enough seed
must be planted, as many Of them will fail,
but in very many cases so many are sown that
the plants when they come up are crowded
together as thickly as they can stand

Preservation of Leather.

NJ. Jenne, Of Elgin, Kane Co., Ill, writes
TO the Prairie Farmer, in answer to an inquiry
for preservation for leather, that he has two
-one for boots, the other for harness, which
he obtained from a man who had been en-
ployed in cleaning and oiling harness in the
East India service-as he said-by paying for
it; the former was given him as an especial
favor. He says:
81 have tested them both for several years,
and find them first rate. They are as follows:
For boots and shoes, take six ounces bayberry
wax, four ounces beeswax, six ounces mutton
or beef tallow, one-third paper lampblack
pulverized. Melt and stir good deal. Heat
a brush to apply with. For harness-Beeswax,
one-halfpou mutton tallow, one half pound; !;
neatsfoot oil, one pint; yellow soap, one-fourth
pound. Boil until completely melted, keep
ing them we'll stirred all the time Apply
warm; the leather being moist and clean.
Hang the harness in a warm place-a warm,
sunny day is best. When finished, if rubbed
briskly with dry, clean cloth, fine polish
will be obtained, giving every appearance Of
new leather. If any blacking is needed, add
lampblack. / am confident that fifty per cent
will be added to the wear of harness treated
once year with the above preparation"
