Broadcast Sowing

Correspondence of the Country Gen.
tlen,dn:: Such work as sowing is thing
impossible to teach-it must be learned
alone, and learned anew in every field,
and often every acre. No two days or
fields are alike. The difficulties are as
numerous as the acres we SOW. Good
sewers are good naturally, while prac-
tice makes perfect; if they are not
naturally adapted to the business, they
never become experts. After sowing
hundreds of acres, think I never had
field look better than my first one,
and never had but one piece, and that
only two acres, on which a man could
tell, when the grain came up, which
way it was sowed. Then the wind blew
in hard gusts, so that in spite of all
could do a few "balks" were left.
In sowing level ground I always step
three feet at a step. This is an easy
gait for me, and I will hardly vary
from it all day. This I know from
counting the steps across fields which
have been chained by surveyors. I SOW
ten and a half feet in width, making q
cast every second step, or six feet;
grass seed the same, except when l
draw my seed l throw q little to the
right and partly in front, before the
full cast Is made, as grass seed is more
difficult to spread evenly than larger
grain; otherwise all seeds and grains
are sowed alike. I can SOW from six
pounds of clover and eight quarts of
timothy, one-half bushel Of buckwheat,
one and one-half bushels of rye or
wheat, three to four bushels of oats, or
intermediate quantities, an acre, over
large fields, without varying quart to
the acre, and the grain would be alike
all over the field, as far as the eve
could determine; but I never could
show another how. Some never learn;
others always do good work. In going
up hill less seed is cast at a step, as the
step is shorter; in going down hill, vice
versa; along the side-hill the sower
must walk little above the center of
has strip of lan', as the grain will, fall
further down hill than up hill. Allow
ance must be made for the wind, kinds
and dampness of seed; and in short, it
is trade learned, not taught.

Dairy Ventilation.

A new method of obtaining uniform
temperature and abundant fresh air in
diaries is reported. The dairy is built
of stone, and is placed on the side of a
hill and close to an icehouse, or near
enough to it to bring the drip from the
melting ice into an open tank on the
floor of the dairy. To secure an even
temperature, the building is sunk 213
meters (about seven feet in the ground,
and the wells, doors and windows are
made air tight. To ventilate the place
two pipes, lined with slate, are laid from
the floor of the dairy, underground in
opposite directions. One extends about
$3.50 metres lone hundred feet) uphill,
and is then brought to the surface.
The other pipe extends an equal dis
lance downhill, in the opposite direc-
ton, and is then brought to the sur
face. The open ends of these pipes
are protected by wooden wings
from the influence Of the wind,
otherwise they are entirely open
at all times. In the summer,
when the temperature Of the atmos-
phere is higher than the ground, the
air in the upper pipe being cool, set
| ties down into the dairy, passes through
it and escapes by the lower pipe. The
tank of ice water serves to lower the
temperature to about fifty degrees
Fahr., and the temperature of the air
in the sunken pipes is about sixty de-
grees Fair, so that the dairy is kept
sweet and cool by constant supplies of
fresh air at a com paratively low tenn
perature. In winter, the ground being
warmer than the atmosphere, reverse
current is maintained through the
pipes. The warm air in the upper
pipe rises and escapes, and draws
fresh supplies of air into the dairy
through the lower pipe. This, in its
turn raises the temperature of the in
flowing air, and prevents the entrance
of freezing draughts. This device is
said to work we'll in practice, and to
keep the dairy well ventilated, and at
nearly the same temperature at all sea-
sons.-Scfib'aer's.

Cost of Fencing,

The waste in making and mending
fences that are unnecessary is very
great. The fences and walls on farms
In this state alone cost nearly $25,00O,-
600, and the average annual cost for
repairs exceeds 100000. But this
is not oil. The loss of time caused by
small lots and the less of land and
crops, would make still greater sum,
a very large part of which might be
avoided by the removal of the division
fences. We are not obiget to build
fences to keep cattle in, and hence the
expensive fences along the public high
ways mighs, In many cases, be dispens-
ed with. -Mdssa ehusetts P5oaUmda

Winter Work for Farmers,

There is enough for the farmer to do
during this inclement season, and still
enjoy his rest, for rest may not be idle
ness. The duty Of caring well for his
animals, no farmer can without sacri-
fee neglect. All farm stock should
have comfortable apartments where
they will not sufe from cold, or from
the driving storm.
It has beens SO often said that the great
est economy is found IN feeding we'll,
that it seems almost useless to repeat
it, but there are SO many farmers that
allow their stuck to roam over the
fields and pass the winter with little CT
no shelter, with only feed enough given
them to keep life in them till spring,
that 1t is we'll to repeat the admonitlOn
to men who will not knew Or regard
their interest. Their is no greater folly
In farm management than to. allow
stock to lose In winter what has been
gained In summer, Or to have an AMI
NAL SO poor In spring as to take half
the summer to get into a thriving cOndl-
ton, but this is the case with one.half
the stock kept in our country, and more
for the want of care than for the want
Of food.
There is more in the art Of feeding
than is generally supposed. He is a
good feeder who feeds just what an an
imal will eat without waste, and it Is as
bad feeding to feed too much as to
feed too little. The animal that has
feed constantly before him has but lit
tie relish for it and will not do half as
well as one that eats his mess clean and
then rests till feed time again. The
fattening pigs viii lose more by being
once over-fed than they viii gain by
several feelings, for their appetites are
lost for two or three days following.
Attention to, and Gaze for the stock Of
the farm will afford pleasure to the
farmer and add much to his profits

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Sheep Raising.

This branch of business, like almost
every other, has had its ups and downs,
but it is question whether any bust
ness has paid better for a series of
years. The rapid increase of sheep is
very favorable to farmers of small
means who wish to engage in wool
growing. Sheep raising is too much
neglected In the west. The animal that
furnishes clothing, food and light,
which eats what other animals reject,
which crops hillsides too steep for 9th
er creatures to ascend, is entitled to
vastly more credit than it receives.

Oil on the Waters.

The good ship King Cenrie, which set
sail last June from Liverpool to Bonn
bay, encountered a terrible gale off the
Cape of Good Hope. A tremendous
sea broke over the ship, bursting in the
main hatch, washing away the hatch
houses and boats, smashing in the front
Of the cabin, and destroying the cap
tain's and officers stores and clothing.
A young lad, one Of the crew, was car
ried overheard, and it was impossible
to rescue him. The gale lasted for
nearly five days, and though the vessel
stood it very we'll it was impossible to
repair any Of the damage, as the waves
we're continually sweeping her decks.
At length the chief officer suggested
throwing oil upon the water. Two
canvas cloth bags were obtained, and
into each two gallons of fine oil were
poured, the bags being punctured
slightly. The bags were flung over
each quarter in tow of the vessel. The
effect was magical; the waves no
longer broke over the poop and sides
of the ship, but several yards away,
where the oil had spread itself over the
surface, and around the poop, in the
wake of the vessel, was g. large circuit
of calm water. The crew were thus
able to repair the damage with greater
ease, and the ship was relieved from
the tremendous shock she had pre-
viously received from the heavy seas.

SIGH NOT SO FOR SUMMER WEATHER.

Sigh not so for summer weather,
For the hot sun and the blaze
OF the bloom upon the heather;
Sigh not 70 for summer weather,
And the glory Of long days.
Winter holds friendly hand,
With quaint book of romance,
Written in cid Wonderland,
While the fairies, hand in hand,
Join their laughter with the dance.
There are fow'rs Of purest white
In his book. and you may find
Pictures painted in the night,
When the land with snow was white,
And the trees were bent with wind.
Many ballads of the brave,
Many legends of the just,
Many songs for love to save,
Sung in castles of the brave,
That have crumbled into dust.
Sigh not so for summer weather,
For the sun and greenwood ways;
Lets US go along together,
Thankful for the winter weather.
And the promise of new days
