suggsstiops for March Wort


The AmeTic an AgricUlfuTiSt for March |
let gives seven columns. of practical
HATS AMI directions CO nceTuing work to
be done on Farm, Gar den, Orchard, etc
from which We extract the following:
Barley. -Skillful management Is re-
Quirt to succeed y ith this CROP. Re
culiar soils are required CO produce a
clear, thin skinned, bright cclored sam
pie, such as brings the best price in the
market. A frat le, clean, mellow, dry,
limestone clay-lObm is PERHAPS the best
soil, but SONS l,gh,er soils, that are warm
and rich, WILL produce good barley. The
soil must be thoroughly worked, and free
from weeds Barley should always be
drilled, and the seed placed at an even
depth below the surface, There is no
better crop viii which TO SOW to eloTer.

The Cost Of DrGining can hardly evel
be leks than it now Is. Labor is yerJ
low, and those who have improvement
to make, aud have the money, or see
GhsiF way clearly to repay it, if borrowed
could have no better opportu0 itY than
the present.
Sending Water.-A very impcrtsn
work is to let off any water that accumu
lates upon the surface This requires
constant attention, and the use of Iht
hoe or a shovel Whether there is ,
crop in the ground or not, it is equal,
necessary to do this thoroughly, else th,
soil is soaked and dries very slowly. Thu
