WHAT Is THICK Sow1NG.-Alderman
Mechi, the eminent English farmer, and
the advocate OF thin seeding, speaking of
his present grain fields says: could not
find the half acre Of wheat drilled with
only two pecks per acre, for it looked as
thick as where the bushel was sOwn.
Thick sewers should really come and see
my 80 acres OF wheat. / call one bushel
per acre thick sowing. Barley with six
pecks, and black oats with two bushels,
seem thick enough.
IT is said that to remove cbaff from an
animals eve. all that ia needed ia 70 roll q
niece of paper around a little stick anv
length or size desired. and nut into a nuiIl
some white coffee-crushed sugar and blow
it into the eve. Hold the COW hv the
horns and take by surprise GenerslIv
two applications are sufficient. if the film
is comnletelv over the eve the sugar
scours and cleanses and heals all at the
same time. / tried it twice in the winter
of 1864, on the same cow, with complete
success Both times it was from oat chat,
and both times the white film had covered
the eyes. Pulverized loaf sugar is equal
ly good to remove the film from the hui
man eye.

by several farmers of nv acquaintance.
which, as far as l can learn, has proved
very satisfactory for several years. The
hay Is all cut in the afternoon, when en-
tirely free from external moisture. Next
day, after the dew is all of, it is turned.
After dinner it is raked and cot in with
out delay. There is no cooking at night
and opening next day. All such labor is
saved. One man who has practiced this
several years is Justly considered one of
the best farmers in town. His stock look
well, and produce as much as any. His
farm improves yearly. and he makes an
