The rector Of an Episcopal Church in Bos-
ton has adopted the policy Of giving the chill
dren of his flock every Easter pot of flowers
or flower plants, with the promise of a re-
ward to every one who shall tend and pre-
serve the same through the year. The result
last Faster was fifteen candidates for awards,
and probably another year the number will be
still larger The idea is very pretty and the
habits that it leads to are healthy ones to en-
courage. A child that loves flowers and is
willing 10 make some sacrifices to ensure their
life and growth has accepted one of the most
refining intmacies and influences that nature
and civilization afford and TO that extent is
on the right track

of neighbours tip-cart, about half mile
down the road, where they riAed it of its con-
tents The rumbling noise made by the bur

being arranged with a spreader, so as to put
the seed regular in the rows four inches
wide thus causing the wheat to occupy
sixteen inches of ground instead of eight,
the same quantity of wheat being sown on
an acre only half as thick or close together
In the rows as the present mode of drilling.
The wheat when sown by this drill may be
cultivated with the same drill by removing
the spouts and adjusting in their place an
ingenious contrivance made for the pur-
pose. From ten to twelve acres of ground
1T is claimed can be cultivated in day
etfectually and three civilizations is said to be
sufficient. Late in March or early in April,
according to the season, is the time to COM
mence cultivation. Glover seed sown on
ground SO cultivated is said to succeed
most admirably. This drill attracted much
attention and was closely inspected by many
practical farmers who were favorably i'm
pressed as to its practicability and advanta-
ges over the present mode of seeding
wheat.
A number of farmers around Middle
town are seeding their whole crop of wheat
by this new process, and some of our en-.
terprlsing farmers made determined but
unsuccessful effort to procure drill for the
purpose of giving the new process a fair
trial i'll this locality, being fully convinced
OF the advantage over the old mode. 1t is
claimed that from forty to sixty bushels of
wheat to the acre have been grown this
season by this process of drilling and cult
vation from one and a-half bushels seeding.
Should the anticipated results be realized
from this new process it will cause COM
plete revolution in wheat growing.
