Advantage Of Drilling Wheat;

Among the advantages Of drilling
in winterwheat over broadcast sowing,
are the saviog oflabor, the saving of
seed. and securing more abundant
crops. Whether the grain is sowcd
broadcast, or drilled, theground should
receive the same. thorough prcpara
tion previous to distributing the seed.
If drilled in, one man will complete
the operation, BY simply going oycr
tke.Hfoundbncc. Ifsowed broadcast,
thosererind must be narrowed twice
after the seed is sowed. This, in adj
dition to the time consumed in sow
ing by hand will require about three
times longer than is necessary to drill
il. Moreover, the drill, If properly
made and adjusted, will deposit every
ksrhl at a uniform depth, whorcas--
the harrow covers some of the seed
too deep, some not deep enough and
some not at all; and il the soil be
deep and mellow, the feet of the teams
will dress a considerable portion of II
quite too deer" fL ..I..
Anoiher' advantage in drilling in
the heed il, az soon as an acre or two
is plowcd, the grain may be put inI
Immediately, thus finishing the work
asfastas playground isplowcd. When
grain is sowed broadcast, il il much
more convenient and rather impor-
tant to have tho entire field plowcd
before sowing, so ns TO be abloto har
row both ways When farmer has
drill, he can plow an acre, then har
row IL and drill in the seed all in one
day, while the soil is fresh, which is
the best condition to hasten the ger
minatiou of the grain, Ilo thus fin.
ishcs his work as he progresses, and
is always ready for temporary inter.
ruptions by storms of rain, which are
often attended with moro or less in
jury to the crop. Such delays ospc.
cially with spring grain, are often ia
tai toa good crop.
No man can sow wheat broadcast ms
evenly as good drill will distribute
il. But as man when sowing by
hand will vary his steps, and the force
applied at every east of the seed, and
as the wind win often blow the grain
from its course, it becomes noce ,sary
to SOW much more. seed per acre, to
secure as thick stand of plants, as
when it is deposited with u drill, -

slight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more sem
sitive 20 tho changes of temperature. In this
.ondition Che nose may be dry, or a slight dis
.harge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may onsue. -.r...
AS the disease becomes chronic, tho dis
charges are increased in quantity and changed
inquality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawlxed or coughed OF. The secretions
are offensive, causing bad breath; the voice
thick and nasal; the eyes arc weak the sense
of smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness
frequently takes place. ....
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is, that the person is obliged to clear
his throat in the morning Of thick or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen from the hoad dur
ing the night. When this takes place, the
person may bo sure that his disease is on its
way TO the lungs, and should lose no time in
