most important ingredient in all manures.
Fall blowing facilitates the action OF the
snow to the soil by loosening it up,
spreading out the utmost possible surface,
and making myriads of interstices through
which the ammonia-charged snow-water
can trickle down into the well-stirred
ground.
Finally, Fall blowing confers on land
some Of the advantages of drainage, CIV
ing the surface-water a better chance of
settling into the ground, or OF running of
in the dead burrows and bitches, thus
putting the land in order for seeding
sooner, in some cases, than it could pos
sibly be plowed, had it been left un-
touched until Spring. Even in the case
of drained land, this advantage of Fall
blowing is not to be undervalued; how
much more when so much land, as far Is
drainage is concerned, remains in state
of nature. IF undrained land were sub
soiled as well as surface-plowed, this adj
vantage would be greatly augmented.
Land thus thoroughly prepared III the
Fall, would be in 6rst-rate order fol
seeding in the Spring.
These considerations have only to be
we'll pondered by common sense minds
to induce the determination to keep tn
pillow in active operation during all tn

The land on which my corn was raised
is well known in this county as black
land. This is the fourth crop. The first
year it was cultivated in corn, and the
two next in cotton. The cotton had
grown very large, and SO perfectly sha-
ded the ground that there was not any
grass or weeds that had gone to seed for
two years on the land | will now give
you my plan of cultivation in as few
words as possible. l first took one horse
and long Bult"ngue pillow, and run one
turrow on top of the cotton ridge, plow-
ing up the old cotton stalks. / then
dropped my corn, one grain in a place,
about eight or ten inches apart and COW
cred it with the same pillow that used in
opening the ridge with, blowing as deep
as | could, which finished my planting
about tire 9th of April. just before my
corn was ready to come up, run a
harrow with board fastened on behind
over the ridge. When my corn was
some four or five inches high, / took my
same Bultongue pillow and run around my
corn as close and deep as / could, and
broke out the middles with a one horse

which was all that was done to my corn.

was the large white corn. The rows

little over, apart. | would not give the

fail Proving.

We know of nothing that SO tends to
make the duties of the year move on with
clock-work regularity in this country, as
the accomplishment of large amount of
blowing in the Fall. Spring is late in
this climate, and sometimes bursts upon
US with great suddenness. The quick
change from bracing cold to enervating
heat, Just after the comparative rest OF
winter, makes work very CALLING both to
the farmer and his team. Often, too,
though the weather is adapted 10 early
Spring blowing, the land is not fit. The
frost is not sufficiently out of it, or it is
in a heavy, spongy, wet condition, and
cannot be worked These difficulties do
not present themselves in the Fall. The
slow process of blowing does not contrast
painfully with the hurried rush of the
season, as in Spring, awakening anxiety
lest the nick of time for sowing should
be missed Nature is settling down to
repose instead Of rousing up to most in
tense activity. The Spring is virtually
made longer by every acre that is plowed
in the Fall. Its hurry is lessened, while
its possibilities are increased. IF the
Spring is early enough, and long enough
to admit of another blowing, the crop
will be so much the better for it, and If
the season is brief and hurried, the crop
can be put in on the tdouble-quick, !"
with cultivator and harrow. On the
principle, therefore, of taking time by
the forelock," every good farmer will get
as large breadth of blowing done in the
Fall as he possibly can.
Another important consideration Is the
beneficial effect of the elements on the
newly turned-up soil. 1t is a well-set-
tied fact that simply exposing soil to the
action of the atmosphere tends to enrich
it, as well as to improve its condition
mechanically for cropping. Hence the
ricultural proverb that 'ttillage Is ma
nure." Simply to stir the soil at any
season OF the year, and LET In the air
among its Vulnerable particles, is to do
it good. But in addition to this benefci-
al influence, Fall plowing subjects the
soil to the action of frost Alternate
freezing and thawing are of great nse,
especially to stiff soils. The more tho
roughly they are disintegrated, crum-
bled and fined down, the better state
they are 10 for producing crops. Winter
Is NO doubt very valuable in It's action in
this respect. There Is no disintegrator

pIeteness with which It does its work.
