THE Use OF THE FEET N PLANTING AND
SOWING SEED.-Peter Henderson says that
although engaged in gardening operations
for over a quarter of "a century, it has ONLY
been lately that he fully realized how indis-
pensable is the use Of the feet in sowing
and planting. In the sowing Of seeds he
thinks millions are lost annually through
neglect of ''firming'' the ground around the
seeds. During the past dry season enor-
NOUS losses were incurred by market gar
deners and other cultivators Of cabbaees,
caulidowers, celery, &c, mainly because
they persisted in sowing the seeds without
taking the precaution to firm the soil by
rolling. His own practice is, after plough
ing, narrowing and levelIing the land
smoothly, to draw lines by the ''marker,"
which makes a furrow about two inches
deep and q foot apart; after the man who
sows the seed follows another who with the
ball of the right foot presses down his full
weight on every inch Of soil in the drill
where the seed has been sown. The rows
are then lightly leveiled longitudinally with
the rake, a light roller is then passed over
them and the operation is done. By this
method his cabbage and celery crops have
never once failed, and what is true of these
0SSNo "Niu"iiS tluC VI all StcUS recurring
to be sown during the late spring or sum-
mer months. On July I'd, 1874, as an es-
pertinent, he sowed twelve rows of sweet
corn and twelve rows of beets, treading in
after sowing every alternate row Of each.
In both cases, those tred in came up in four
days, while those unfrmed remained twelve
days before starting, and would not then
have terminated had rain not fallen, for
the soil was as dry as dust when planted.
The result was that the seeds that had been
trodden in grew freely from the start, and
maturcd their crops TO a marketable condi-
ton by fall, while the rows unfirmed did
not mature, as they were not only eight
days later in terminating, but the plants
were also to some extent enfeebled by being
badly dried i'll the loose, dry soil.
The same season in August he treated
seeds Of turnips and spinach in the same
way. Those trod in terminated at once
made an excellent crop, while those
terminated feebly and were even
tually nearly all burned out by a continu- |!
ance of dry, hct air penetrating through
the loose sell to the tender rootlets. A
large proportion of the blame often laid at
the doors of nurserymen on account Of SELL
ne dead trees, he attributes to the neglect
growers to compact the soil about the
'oOts.
