The Largest Farm in the World

NJ, l.. Sallivant, Esq Of Champaign
county, Illinois, owhes seventy thous-
and acres OF good land as is to be found
on the face OF the globe, twenty-three
thousand acres of which is under fence
and active cultivation, while the re-
mandcr is used for herding purposes.
This is undoubtedly the most extensive
farm in the world, and it it said to be
conducted on the most approved plans.
Nearly all the labor is erformed by
machinery, so that one man can per
tOrm, or rather superintcnd, the labor
OF five. He drives his posts by horse
power cuitivatcs bis corn by machiu-
cry, bitches, sows and plants by ma
chincry, so that all his aborers can
ride and perform their duties. Mr.
HuIllvant gives employment to two
hundred farm hands, two hundred
horses, and large number OF oxen.

Culture Of Oats.

1t is almost useless to SOW oats in
this country unless they arc sown early
and the earlier the better. The best
oats we ever SAW were sown in Febru-
airy. Farmers should have their ground
plowed and prepared for seeding oats
the first good weather after the middle
OF February. They may not have time
TO plough tho ground then. and also put
IN the seed-but might have time to
SOW the seed and harrow it in. 1.-The
ground is not yet plowed and the open
weather continues, by all means keep
the teams going, not only for oats, but
tor corn and all other crops. Fall and
winter plowing are highly beneficial.
Turning up fresh ground to the frost
is almost equal to giving a coating Of
manure, The teams are now fresh
and feeling we'll Give them more
work now aud less in the Spring
Every day improved now is one gained
for Spring.--Rurat World.
