DOES 1T PAY To DRILL WHEAT

A correspondent of the Ohio Farm.
er answers the above question as fol.
lows:
In making ready for the wheat crop,
docs not the farmer select the best
wheat land :? Then does he MT aim
to have it 10 the best possible condition
by scattering over it an abundance Of
compost, and with the dili2ent use of
the pillow and harrow render it one
grand mellow garden for wheat? With
equal care aud judgment be procures
seed large and plump aud as clean as
it can be made, even though it is at
the expense Of time. After so mach
toll, is It not wise to adopt the best
method for putting in tho grain?
1t the farmer has followed broadcast
sowing from year to year with ouly
partial success, and frequently total
failure, Why not try to drill? Certain.
ly the past year ought to convince
rational farmer of the 81 periority of the
drill over broadcast sowing. 1t has
been year Of trial, and the drill .ri-
umphed. In field, the soil of which
was black loan, easily frozen, and OF
course would not stand drought, the
drill vas used, and fine crop of
wheat CLEANED, while if sown broadcast
no crop could have been expected,
judging from similar fields sown broad.
cast Theo it is a saving of seed.
Que bushel of seed drilled is equal to
oce aod half sown broadcast; and il
the land is to be Seeded down, grass
seed can be sown at tho same time
Let farmers think OF this and act with
wisdom.
Buy a drill if the dimes are plenty,
.'ther~ise hire one. But use the drill
by all meaos if you would receive pay
tor your toll.

ing the following prescription

charcoal and new yeast, of each three
parts; flour, one part, and pulverized

hazelnut can be made Three of these
can be given daily
The same authority recommends
cleanliness and frequent bathing of
the eyes and nostrils with warm milk
and water.
