EDS. CHRONICLE: Half of the wheat
fields this season are almosta failure. A
| few have good crops, have taken pains
to observe the causes of this in my COM
munity. 1 notice dozen fields which are
hardly worth cutting. Around in the
same scope of country find fields in the
same quality of land, but farmed by diff
! ferent men, bearing first rate crops
What CT uses this? The manner in which
| the different fields are s0wn. | find that
the manner in which the fields were sown
which failed to produce good crops was to
pow up with a turning pillow and
then sow the wheat broadcast on the
clods and harrow it in. Some fields were
sown while crop of corn was standing
on the ground. All such careless sowing
seems to have resulted in poor crops this
year. The fields mentioned above as bear"
ing good crops were prepared quite diff
ferently. They were plowed with turner
and narrowed and rolled thoroughly, and
in some cases MANFRED, and then the wheat
was drilled in. 1t will doubly pay every
farmer to hire drill for 80 cents an acre to
drill his wheat. A man in my community
had land in the same field sown with a
drill and also some sown broad cast and
the drilled wheat yielded fourth more
wheat. Why can't we East Tennesseeas
get into the idea of sowing our wheat
rightly. Five acres prepared properly will
produce more than twenty, carelessly put
in. How would the following plan do:
LIST. Plow deep with a turner; I'd, harrow;
Sd, roll; 4th, while the ground is in a
level, smooth condition, haul out a coat
ing of manure on the land; 5th, bull
tongue across the first blowing to break up
clods and mix the manure; 9Th, harrow;
18th, roll again to smooth the land and
then drill in the wheat. Some men will
object to call this" and say a poor
man can't do it. Why not poor man
prepare one acre this way, and make more
wheat than to sow five the old way, and
in this operation save four bushels of seed
wheat, and set a good example of neat
farming to bis neighbors J. NJ. b.
Powell's Station.

Col. William Clark, of northampton,
Mass, has been very successful in renovat-
ing exhausted light land, and thus briefly
states his plan in the Nc10 England Farm
err
"NIy first object has been to get grass to
grOW on these lands, and the second to APP
ply Mr.. Phinney's method, with which l
suppose you are familiar / have been uni
formly successful in the first, except in
case of severe drouth; and judging from
the short experience which | have had, l
know of no pine plain so poor as to be in
capable of becoming fair moving land
say one to one and half tons per acre of
clover, herd grass and red-top, by the aid
of a little plaster, with suitable piOWing
and rolling, and a suitable supply of grass
seed, even without manure and where
manure can be supplied, the crops of
course will be much better. If manure is
not applied, the grass should remain and
rot on the ground the first year at least,
and neUer be grd.ed, and second blowing
and seeding be given before a crop is taken
off. Corn, small grain and root crops
easily follow on these lands after a good
grass sward is obtained.
In Massachusetts, timothy is called herd
grass, and herd grass is called redtOp, One
should apply ashes with plaster to make
grass grow on poor land without manure.
Close feeding is always injurious.

Evenings at Home.

Recipe for making farmers boys love to
stay at home in the evenings
|. Treat them as partners with you, Give
them to understand that they are inter-
ested in the success of the farming opera
tions as much as you are yOuself.
2. Converse freely with them. Get their
opinions, and give them yours. If at all
prudent, make use of their plans, and
when you think your own best, explain to
them why you do not adopt theirs. Don't
keep them altogether in the dark with ref
erence to your plans in the future.
3. Don't require them to stay as home in
the evenings all the time. When there is
any meeting or entertainment from which
they might receive benefit, be sure to let
them 60.
4. Provide them with plenty of good
books and papers especially referring to
agriculture. Let them be well posted in
their own misunderstanding.
). Never scold them because they don't
do their work or attend to the business
of the farm as well as you do. Encourage
them.
6. Give them a holiday now and then,
They look for it, and they need it; and it
will be better for you and them to let them
have it.
:. A little rational amusement, such as
croquet, wicket, sail, and swim will
give variety, health and contentment.

and makes grazing at night indispensable
to their health, besides, l find they were
not at large, but in an inclosed field of
Mr.. Marston's. / would like to ask w, l..
would it hurt such ours to be confined at
night and which would be more profitable

plainly that Mr.. Marston was not mista-
| ken when he expressed his doubt of get

able way to Mr.. Marston, and prejudice
the neighbors against him, (sOme of whom

be prejudiced against foreigners.

with any more communications on this
