SEEDING, PROPAGATION. COVERING.
The most carefully seeded mea-
dow is the most productive. Grass
seed should be sown with winter
grains, because they grow thinner
on the ground than spring grain;
tbe young plants are less shaded
and the growth folms with stronger
roots, and is better able to with
stand the hot sun and dry weather.
After harvesting the grain, the
seeding is often destroyed, because
the roots of clover and timothy are
so near the surface that they dry
up. The ground is crusty for want
of cultivation and weight of snow
after the grain is sown. The RENE
dy is simple, but rarely used. The
grain should be narrowed into the
ground after it has settled, and is
dry enough to mellow under the
harrow. Winter grain is improved
by narrowing, afording a lighter
soil for the spread and growth of
the roots covering the field with
stronger growth, consequently in
creasing the yield. This process
insures the certainty of grass seed
ing; as seed is expensive, farmers
cannot afford its loss, or ''trust to
luck" Two crops cannot grow in
the same place simultaneously.
Filling the ground with all it can
support of spring gram, and sowing
grass seed at the same time, expect
ing to produce fine meadow after
the grain, results in feeble product
and after harvesting the grain, the
weak plants shrivel and die. Spring
grain must be sown thinner when
sown with grass-then what is lost
in grain, is gained in thickness of
the clover or grass crop. Thinly
sown grain generally produces
heavier, larger heads and more
stems, consequently the crops is
not lessened. Grass is as impor.
tant to farmers as grain, and should
not be sacrificed for the chances on
the latter. 1t should not be made
the primary crop, for the soil is re.
newed by it while it is exhausted
by grain.-F. D. Curtis, in Amef-
can Asrie1ItQ'4t for Hay.

THE ART OF THINKING.

The object of the teacher is to
teach to think. The pupil thinks
enough, but he thinks loosely, IN
coherently, indefinitely, and valgue-
ly. He expends power enough on
his mental work, but it is poorly
applied. The teacher points out to
him these indefinite or incoherent
results, and demands logical
| statements of him. Here is the
positive advantage the teacher is to
the pupil.
Let US suppose two pupils are
studying the same lesson in geogra'
ply or history. One reads to get
the facts; he fastens his eye on the
page and his mind to the subject
before him; he makes the book q
study and acquires information
from it; his object is to acquire
knowledge. He attains this end
The other also studies the book,
but while reading he is obtaining
lessons in thinking. lie does not
merely commit to memory; he stops
to see if the argument is sound, he
analyzes it to see if the conclusion
is warranted by the premises.
The one who thinks as he reads
is quite different, it will be seen,
from him who simply learns as be
reads. To read and think, OF to
think as one reads, is the end to
seek. To teach to think is then the
art of the teacher. The reader for
facts gets facts ; he comes to the
recitation seat and reels off those
facts. His mind, like Edison's
phonograph, gives back just what it
received. While this power is val
liable, it is not the power the world
wants.
The teacher will find his pupils
come to the recitation to transmit
the facts they have gained. He
mustput them in quite another frame
of mind. The value of the teacher is
measured by his power to teach the
art of thinking.-Teacher's Institute

MAY.
PLANTING PEANUTS

Peanut planting is done any time
in May. The ground should be
ridged and otherwise broken by
plowing several weeks beforehand
Soil suitable for the peanut does
not harden or pack much under
rain and snn.-The best soil for this
crop is white or chocolate-color'
ed sand. Some prefer reddish
sand, but that is more likely to color
thepeas and make them less salable.
Any dry, open soil, having plenty
OF lime in its composition, will
produce good peanuts. 1t should
be clear Of weeds and other coarse
rubbish; hence ground in corn, pota-
toes, or some cultivated crop last
year, is preferred. In planting the
ground is marked in rows about
three and half feet apart, and If
any fertilizer is used it is applied
in the drill before ridging. The
ridge is formed by running a light
furrow on each side of the drill, Jap
ping the dirt in the middle. The
ridges are afterwards knocked down
nearly fiat, by drawing over them
from end to end q tolerably heavy
pole or board, or piece Of scantilng,
attached to shafts or small poles for
the horse. This is long enough
to reach across two, three, some
times ever four ridges, ard they
are fattened so as to leave only o
little elevation to keep the seed
out of the water in case of a heavy
rainfall before it comes up. Some
dispense with ridges, and lay the
seeds fat on the surface, only press
ing them slightly with the foot.
This saves labor, bat as rule the
ridging is best. For this the same
plow is used for the burrows as for
corn or other crops.-The distance
apart varies considerably, ranging
from ten to twenty inches. Sixteen
inches is fair distance for the hoe
in wedding, and for spread OF vines
on land of medium quality. An i'm
plement witha wheels pushed along
the ridge, points or pins at given
distances marking the place on top
of the ridge for the peas. Care IS
taken not to have the holes more
than two inches deep. The pea, a
single kernel in a place, is then
dropped by hand and covered by
carefully pressing a little soil upon
it. The land is left in q smooth
state for the first plowing. Being
tropical plant, the peanut re-
quires warm sun all the time. We
have known it planted all through
the month of June, but it should
generally be up and growing by the
first of that month here. Cold
rainy weather about the time Of
planting is very detrimental. The
crop can be and is already grown
successfully much farther North
than Virginia.-B. ". Jones, in
american Agricult'wist for Moy.
