SowINu SEus. -tiararn plants may

,nud,r. The hardy may hc sown as soon
az the ground can De worked and hard

get. warm. and this time is. in all parts
81 the country. that which experience
has shown O. he the proper one furplant-
ing Indian corn. The seeds that may be
sown in the Northern States generally,
this month. are: Beet, cabbage land al

Carting out Manure.
In hauling out manure at this season
of the year. SAYS T. II. Miner in the Sun,
upon fields TO be plowed in April or May,
If the heaps be made of q size 10 equal
ize It's distribution, the same as would
be made if the land were 10 be plowed
without DELAY. there will be a great loss
in the manure 10y the escape Of its am
monia and driving Of the surface of the
heaps. Suppose two-horsc load of.
frst-rato stable dung be placed in six
heaps in a field in February, and this ma
nuro remains in these heaps 20 the middle
of April or the fore part of May, and are
then spread and the land plowcd. how
much loss does the manure sustpin
Not less than ten per cent There must
be n certain degree of loss-more than
farmers can afford 81 luse-and the qucs-
tion is, how is this loss to be prevented
one way is TO wait till the ground Is to
he jlowcd. and then haul out the ma
uurc. and plow IL under rs fast rs Il ~
spread. But farmers are too busy 10
haul il out then, and are compelled often
30 draw 1t out in the winter. If one
must no sn. il would be a good plan to
make the heaps large, but not too large
to bc spread properly with a little extra
hard labor; pack them as solidly as pos
sihlc. and If they be well built up and
truddcn down, they may be made SO
compact with little labor that not over
one or two per cent. loss will take place.
Another way is to put only three or four
very large heaps 10 the acre, making
them compact, ~ in the foregoing case;
and when the time comes to spread the
manure take team and a sled with NOV
able sidebonrds aud proceed to remove
somc of the manure 70 other places, so
that when it is spread it will be evenly
distributed. 1t would bo but IA short
operation to remove "a part of the ma
nurc in that way, and | think the labor
can well be afforded by farmers, rather
than lose SO large portion of their stable
