Experiments Needed with Wheat.

The diversity of opinion which exist.
among farmers as to the best time TO,
sowing wheat might be reconciled by
means of intelligent experiments OH the
subject, with the controlling influences
kept in view. The Importance of such
experiments has been suggested to MS
on the present occasion by the report
in the Elmira Iusbandman of a recent
discussion by the Farmers Clnb at that
place, some of the statements of which
were the following:
VIM. A. Armstrong had field now
prepared for sowing but he would wait
until the tenth of September; he wanted
good growth, but not too heavy before
winter, and If sOwn too soon the Young
plants would fall and smother the roots,
James Mccain would not sow a day
later than that date. He had known
two portions of the same field, one
sowed the tenth, the other the twentieth.
the latter giving greatly inferior crop.
j. ). Van Duzer sowed on the twenty
hffh, and harvested forty bushels per
acre. The next year he sowed at the
same date and harvested forty bushels
from eight acres, the difference being
due to the seasons. The twentieth, he
thought, was as early as wheat should
be sown, The year Of his good crop a
neighbor sowed much earlier, and had
crop not at all equal TO his own.
George MaCann had sowed as early as
the sixteenth of August and had good
yield. He would never sow later than
the first of September. President Hofl-
man had sown the last day of August,
on new ground, and this proved too
early, as the plants grew to the joint in
autumn, many died in the spring, and
he had only fifteen bushels per acre.
This was an exceptional case, and gem
orally he would prefer the first to the
tenth of September; on very rich land
perhaps little later would do. Poor
land might be sown earlier, and should
have twice ms much seed as rich. But
the best way is not to SOW poor land at
all, but first 10 enrich il.
1t is obvious from these different
opinions and from similar difference
commonly expressed elsewhere that

the result, and which should be welfun-
derstood. The character of the weather
during the succeeding portions of the
year would largely influence the
growth, warm, damp autumn giving a
much stronger growth than cool and
dry one. The average must be there
fore taken at a venture. Another large
~ controlling influence is the condition
of the soil. If the weather has been
quite dry the earth will be made up
largely of small clods or humps, down
to the size of small gravel, and when
the wheat is covered only small por-
ton Of the surface of the seed can have
the soil in contact with il. Quite diff
ferent would be the subsequent growth
if the earth were finely pulvcrized so as
to be in close contact with every seed
Hence the importance of thorough
preparation of the soil by pulverization,
unless it happens to be in exactly the
right condition of moisture. If the soil
is cloddy or lumpy, the seed will grow
much better if put in after than before
rain, as after properly softening with
moisture the pulvcrization would be
more perfect, and the contact with the
the seed complete.
In all such cases Judgment and discre-
ton are necessary; for the soil may be-
come too wet, and the seed not do as
well rs if dricr. These different condi-
tons of the soil will explain why seed
sometimes grows best if covered before
instead of after rain, and rice rerSo. A
series of experiments in sowing differ
ent portions Of the same field at differ
ent dates, in different conditions of the
land, and at different depths (Which
sometimes has likewise n considerable
controlling influence), would enable
farmers to satisfy themselves on these
disputed points; and if they measured
carefully the crops from these different
modes of treatment they could assist in
satisfying others. - Country Gentle

f'uiveriZing Manures.

A farmer in an adjoining town was
narrowing his barley stubble the other
day before blowing. | asked him why
he did so, and he said it was TO break
the clods of manure as spread from the
heaps. The idea is an excellent one.
and worthy of adoption wherever pos
sible. a large clod of manure has
enough material to icrtilize ten or
twenty or more wheat plants, but if
left unbroken il will probably be reach
ed by only one OF two. The "patchy''
appearance of wheat which has been re-
Gently MANFRED is well known, and il
results from the unequal distribution of
The manure. The grain is uneven
some places ripening earlier than
others, and hence it cannot be harvest
ed without loss. A more serious mat
ter is the waste of the manure itself
TO be sure, il is all in the field and will
be available sometime, but that is not
what the good farmer wants. 1t is
said that II is better to have nimble
sixpense than slow shilling, but in
most farming operations il is getting n
nimble shilling OF a tardy sixpence. If
lot of lumpy manure is broken into
pieces one-fourth as large IA before, its
immediate value is increased iOur-fOld.
Before the crops have extracted the fer
tility of the dressing of manure, the
farmer is or should be ready TO supply
them with more. have no doubt that
the simple act of narrowing that ma.
nure more than doubled its value for
next years wheat and clover, and the
narrowing did not cost fifty cents per
acre.
Where winter grain is iop-dressed,
the manure is usually dragged about in
cultivating until il touches nearly all
the surface soil. When il is left on the
surface IL has its fertilizing elements
washed into the soil as evenly as posi-
BILE. This is one reason why top-dres-
sing is generally reckoned the best
method, unless the manure is mixed
with long straw which will clog the
drills in sowing. W. j. FIN Coun-
