Keep the Best Soil at the Surface.

JUDGING from the numerous communl-
cations and editorials on the subject of
blowing, there is still an immense lack
of knowledge. Whatever the ground may
be it will always be the better practice to
keep the best part of the soil on the sur
face. j. S. Bowles, an Ohio farmer,
writes that according to his judgment the
true use of blowing is merely to bury the
rubbish out of the way. The surface of
the ground, if it has not been trodden,
can be made fine enough for seeding with
the harrow. From past experience l am
convinced that the best time to plow for
corn is the previous fall, and the best
time to pillow for fall grain is as early in
the summer as possible. These are the
facts. My theory is that the ground be-
ing solidified by lying so long after pillow
ing becomes more as though it had not
been plowed at all, excepting that there is
no rubbish in the way. Experience
proves that in this part of Ohio more
wheat can be raised, following corn, by
drilling it in the corn alleys without
blowing than by cutting off the corn and
breaking the ground up and then seeding"
All this may be correct on soils of Il
certain character; but if the soil is heavy
and compact it will require deeper cult
vation.-N. y. Hefald.

an interesting and instructive ad-

On concluding his remarks, a vote
of thanks was tondered, and many
OF the members came forward and

of Judge Bradley was made on a

that surrounded it, that. indicated
either "a luck Cd integrity in the

tect the same; and finally it is a
matter OF record. that Gov. Kellogg
has, by public proclamation de-
nounced the Objectionable election
bill, now before him, and declared
his purpose never to sign the same;
and that NO amount Of Democratic
