Get Ready for Seeding.

The practice so frequently made use of
by some farmers to wait until seeding time
before making preparations for putting in
the spring crop, is proving to be a great
damage, as well as drawback, to the agri-
cultural interests Of this county. Two,
or three, or even Que day lost in making
preparations which should and could, but
for want Of foresight, have been made at
an earlier date, often furnishes ground
work for heavy losses in the end. Our

lost anything by exercising a reasonable
degree of promptness, in the discharge of

putting off until tomorrow those little
attentions that might be given to-day,
that meet with ill luck.

This is season of peculiar and alarm-
