Gett;no Reaefv for Spring.

To talk Of sowing seeds and planting
POTATOES while the mercury in the Their
mometer stands at zero may seem to be
little out of season. Still there is work
that can be done even now, and so much
valuable time saved tor spring. Potatoes
can be assorted, and the best laid aside
for planting; seed corn can be looked
over, and all imperfect specimens thrown
out; for we cannot expect to produce the
best Of crops withou. having the best OF
seeds. Plans can be laid for next seasons
operations, and we may just as well de-
eide now where each crop shall be grown
rs 10 wait until planting time.
We have known farmers to be all the
spring trying to make up their minds
what kind Of crop to grow in a certain
field, and then failing to decide, The
consequence was that the land remained
idle during the entire season. lndecision
is very common disease, affecting peo'
pie in all classes of society. but nowhere
is il more manifest than among the cul-
ivators of the soil. To-day they think
they will do this thing and tomorrow
that. and so until it is too late to do any
thing.
Now every farmer knows very nearly
what kind OF land and how many acres
he is going to cultivate next summer
There are certain kinds of crops of which
he VIII plant more or less of each and 1t Is
Just as easy to decide now IS to quantity
and where each shall be grown as when
planting time comes. Write ont this
plan and look over carefully; see that the
requisite amount Of seed is on hand, and
iii is not, where il can be obtained. In
fact. have all the plans for next seasons
work carefully drawn up and placed where
they can be referred TO at 4 moments
notice, Just as the architect does before
the foundation is laid for a building -
Even the names and quantity of each
kind of vegetables required for family use
may be decided upon now as well as two
or three months hence.
The boys or hired men may be con-
suited in drawing up these plans, and the
work to be done first in spring should be
placed first on the catalogue, 81 that
regular system can be maintained during
the entire season. We believe that if every
farmer would lay down plan in advance,
not only As guide for himself but those in
his employ, he would not only have his
work done better, but would avoid much
needless coniuSion.-iN. Y. sun.

Prepare Seeds for Spring Plant
iag.

During the comparatively leisure time
of winter the farmer should do every
thing he can TO shorten his work in the
spring; for then work will press upon
him. and he viii be tempted 20 DO things
slightly.
Procuring seeds is sometimes attended
with difficulty and requires time that
would hardly be missed now, but would
be very serious loss in planting time
To illustrate: your oats last year were
mixed with foul seed, and at the county
fair YOU had samples of very fine oats
exhibited by a man who lives ten miles
from YOU who had seeds "a sell You
decided 70 buy your seed oats Of him
With very little trouble YOU can now get
them and have them ready against the
time of sowing bat if YOU wait till that
time your team must Dc taken from the
field for day. the roads may be almost
impossible, and there Is a chance that
the oats will all be sold before YOU get
there, and after all YOU viii be compelled
10 60 home and SOW your own oats-and
weed seed To avoid any such dilemma
let all the seed needed for the coming
season be secured al once. Care should
be exercised in this matter, especially in
selecting grass seed; look sharp for sor-
rel among clover seed; Get the pureSt,
if you have 10 pay high price for it
1t is . good plan FOR farmers who live
some miles apart, and on different kinds
of soil 10 exchange seed; especially Is
this true Of potatoes; in some eases il
makes difference in the crop almost *
marked as in crossing the breeds of an
imals
lfyou live far from store you should
supply every deficiency in your stock of
garden seeds the first opportunity, and
test the seed by sowing in box prepared
for the purpose, and kept in the house

WHERE DO STORMS CONE FRoM9 In 4
letter Of Rev. II. W Beecher TO 4 cor
respondent in Maine, during our wet
spell, last summer. he said
4 hope Won Maine people are not con-
spring to drown Us ont, rs our storms
come from down East.
This i a very common belief and is
often stated Mr.. Beecher can hardly be
supposed to partakc Of this error He
must have been facetiouS But, as coming
from him, il helps continue the delusion (;
let me state a few facts: \ balloon which
rose in st. Louis. landed on the St
Lawrence river. \ balloon which rises
high on the Atlantic sea coast, goes 20

sea coast, and expecting storm tele-
graphs 10 the south and west 10 ascertain
il one is coming. \ storm that was in
New York State yesterday is in Maine to-
day, and in Nova Scotia tomorrow
Why do all these movements in the air
point eaSterly' Because the whole bulk
Of the air one or two miles above the
surface Of the earth in this latitude is
moving easterly and always moves
easterly. No balloon can enter there.
No whirlwind, shower or storm can thrust
its head into that overwhelming current
without following It's course The
eaSterly and other surface winds which
enter the storm supply it with moisture.
and, rising up high in lis center furnish
the sail by which the great upper current
watts it TO the East, always. and not from
the East as often supposed.
The air which rises at the equator and
flows north is the great current referred
20. This warm air is replaced by the
cold air of the north which flows south,
equalizing the temperature of the earth,
4 storm on the equator moves westerly.
In the southern and middle states northerly
and in this latitude easterly, always with
the flow of the upper current. The
telegraphic report ola storm in the middle
or western states, to-day, notifies US. il
the storm continues, what we are to
expect on tomorrow or next day, for il
