SOAKING SEED.

Many persons delay the sowing Of vege-
and then try to make it up by soaking for
a few hours or sprouting before being put
into the ground. This is q kind Of make
shift system that rarely proves satisfactory
for several good reasons or causes. If the
sprOuting OF seeds commences before SOW
ing, they must be placed in soil sufficient.
OF growth; for the least check is sure to
usual practice of soaking seeds in order to
hasten growth, by any means, where
there is a possibility of gaining time by
operation, but only wish to remind our
readers that there is more to be lost than
gained in doing it, unless precautionary
measures are taken to supply the grow
lug seeds with moisture after being
put into the ground. Frequently we have
a drouth of longer Or shorter duration
after the first dash of Spring rains are
over. and this usually comes just in time
to catch the late-sown seeds. The safest
plan with all seeds which will not readily
rot in rather cold, wet ground, like peas.
lettuce, tomatoes, beets, and spinach, is
to sow early and let them sprOut in their
SUou tIiuS, WHICH WILL always Ut dS Lue
weather permits. III should happen
that any have been overlooked, or . late
sowing is desirable, and a little hurrying
up of germation wanted, then soaking may
answer; but if the soil is not moist it mus:
be made SO at the time of sowing. and
then kept in this condition, either by rains
or artificial watering, until the young
plants have made good beginning. As
every one who aspires to good yegeta-
BILE garden may have occasion to apply
water to the plants this Spring. It is we'll
to make preparation for a supply early in
the season. Cold water from well or
spring should not be applied until warmed
a little; therefore some old hogsheads or
tanks may be prepared now and put in a
convenient place into which the water can
be stored for use. Awarm, sunny spot by
the side of some outbullding, will answer
the purpose very well and we are quite
sure the time and expense OF preparing
these receptacles will not be wasted
