A Hint to Farm q RS.

The first work in the spring. on our
own farm, when the snow begins to mel,
is to let of any water that accumulates
on the sur:ar~e. NJ matter how careful;
" the dead burrows and outlets may
have been made in the fall, there is
always more or less to be done in the
spring, to provide free egress fur the
water. 4 few hours work with IL hoe
and spade, at this season. will often lei,
IF thousands Of gallons Of water, which
otherwise would soak into tho soil and
keep it wet tor several weeks. Nc
would urge every reader Of the 4lyr;-
cuttW'st to attend TO this matter. We
are sure that many i farmer would III
this way save enough i" one year to pay
for dozc" god papers and IL score OF
the best agricultural bucks. In letting
IF II shallow pool Of water, the c:.sicS,
and quickest plan is to commence u,
the pol and make i little furrow with
u hoe, letting the wafer follow you.-
But where the wafer is in u somewhat
deep basin, with little apparent fall
from it to the outlet, a better plan is Il
commence ut the outlet and di: with I;
spade up to &c basin and III order I,
be sure that yon lose no fall, dig the
ditch deep enough tt let the water 'ol
low you up t" the basin. IL this WI,
VIC have rarely, found i. basin ,h,t could
not be drained. There is morning tina,
