Some soil is harsh-claybound-
and will crack. Such soil requires
sand. But as sand is too expensive
to apply, other means must be re-
sorted to.
The first Of these is to pillow in the
fall or early winter-plow dry. The
elements arc the best amelioraters.
at the same time lime may be applied
to advantage.
Next in order, and the great con-
sequences, is cropping the land with
certain kinds of grain, etc. Peas will
mellow the soil. So will buckwheat.
And so will clover. These can all
be applied without any difficulty, not
being hood crops that require fine til
age.
A stiff soil turned up in the fall and
! we'll lined, tie lime narrowed in, fol
lowed by a crop Of peas, and sown
in the fall to clover, will, when the
sward, few years thereafter, is put
under, show an improvement that
amounts to complete change.
The land is now in fair workable
orler, and needs but manure and
blowing, when dry enough, to keep
it in good condition. OF all soil the
clay is the worst.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1868-08-20

The even ripening of wheat and of
other grain, is of great consideration
especially if the grain is to be cut
while in the stiff dough. Broadcast
sowing, unless performed by very
skillful hand, is always uneven. Any
kind of grain " i'll ripen soonest when
it is the thickest. We do not recon-
mend thick seeding unless the soil is
thin, SO that the plants do not tiller
much; rs rule the thinnest soil
needs the thickcst seeding.
The aim Of every thorough farmer
SHOULD be TO have the seed cover the
ground evcnly-no matter whether
thin or thick seeding be adopted.
The best way to attain this is to use
a seed drill, and pay strict attention
to see that every tube is open and the
machine evenly adjusted. If there
were no other consideratiOn-but
there are higher ones-this alone
should induce farmer, even if but a
little wheat is raised to purchase a
drill.
