WORKING THE GROUND WHILE III Ia
WET.

The temptation is often great, to use a fair
month for the preparation of the soil for crops
before the water is sufficiently dried off, or
drained out Of it, to warrant its being stirred
at all. Thus the gain of forty-eight hours
in time in often serious detriment to the
field for the entire season. Light sandy loans
are not injured in this way, but every elayey
loam is, and as general rule, SO is any soil
which ever dries in Jumps. The plowpresses
the furrow slices into clods, which often dry
Ike pressed bricks, and the treading of the
teams In narrowing makes bad worse; though
the harrow tears them up somewhat. Even
heavy loan may be worked into q light, po-
rous, warm seed-bed if in proper condition
for plcwing before being worked--AmeriedB

Tbetime for planning has well nigh passed,
and the lengthening and milder days indicate
that work may now soon begin in earnest. If
there be any who intend TO plant, and have
not ordered their trees, or who intend to SOW
and have not yet looked after their seeds, we
counsel them to do it forthwith. Do not or
der every novelty that is advertised or noticed
in the papers, but let the main selections,
whether for fruit, vegetables. or flowers, be
of established sorts, with only a few of the
newer things for trial. Better plant dozen
sorts of apples or pears, known to succeed in
your neighborhood, than Fifty sorts known
only by report We do not at all object to
the trial newthings, but encourage thosewho
have the means to test than, and are ready
TO pay any price for novelty. But to those
who wish trees for fruit, vegetables for the
table, and flowers for enjoyment, and whose
space and means are both limited, we advise
caution and moderate investmentsin unknown
things. s.-American Agricultartst.

roo MUCH LAND.

The desire TO own very large farm is nat.
ural, but often proves unwise in lis results.
When man wishes to practise mixed hus-
bandry, and his present acres are too few and
unsuitable, il is doubtless wise to annex more
territory. Neighbor Jones has twenty acres
ofmeadoE land, which is suitable only for
hay, or grain, or hoed crops. But as he finds
small dairy would be profitable, and sheep
would bring in good returns, it would be ad-
visable for him to buy several acres of rolling
or hilly land adjoining. But this accomplish
ed, let him stop, and be careful to buy no
more than he actually needs for his special
purpose. For, this new land viii have to
pay taxes, win have to be fenced, and may
need expenses laid out upon it. At any rate,
it viii add to his cares, and perhaps will
bring in no adequate return.
We know farmer who, ten years ago,
owned 100 acres, and was doing very ssll;
he now owns FIVE hundred, and is worse off
than before. And why? Because this large
farm is q great bill of expense tohim; he can
not afford to keep it up in good condition,
and it hangs milestone of care abont his
neck. His wife and children, beth sons and
daughters, are obliged to work hard to keep
the great machine a-running. We presume
his boys declare they viii leave home as soon
as they are old enough; and the girls say they
win marry farmers. Neither sons nor daugh-
ters ars educated as they desire to be; they
cannot be spared for this from work on the
big farm.
Now we declare that such farm is a curse
to its possessor and his family and an injury
to the whole agricultural interest. If that
man wants to save himself and his household,
he should sell at least one half of his land,
improve the remainder to make it more pro-
ductiYe, release his children from bondage,
and try to make his home place of comfort.
he win live longer, lay up as good proper
ty, and win train up more intelligent and a
happier family.--Ans. Agricaltnrist,

TRAINING CATTLE TO JUSP--A ives.
tern farmer says he made it 4 rule
that whenever cattle are made to
pass fence, whether through bars
or "slipgap," to leave one rail fol
them TO pass under. This gives
them downward tendency, and les
sens their inclination to jump or look
upward, as they are sure to do when
lazy attendant throws down part
Of the rails and makes them vault the
rest Cattle may be taught to go
over any fence by the careful train
ing they often get for this end, and
performed as follows:
First, starve them, or give them
poor feed, which will make them
light and restless. AS soon as they
60 over the lowest part of the fence
after better provender, make them
jump back again, and put on one
more rail, saying: Il guess that
will keep EN- out" Next day, (as OF
course they will be in mischief
again, repeat the process, adding
another rail; in short time they viii
take care of themselves, and harvest
the crops without charge.--7acker's 5
