How Much Seed Shall I Sow!

That depends on the size and vital
ity of the seeds, the number of seeds
to the bushel, the condition of land,
whether distributed evenly, and the
nature of the season which is to fol-
low. No fixed rule will relieve the
farmer from thinking for himself and
employing all the good judgment at
his command. 10 the opinion Of the
writer, it would be better, in most cases
if farmers used less seed to the
acre and took more pains to get all the
land in better condition. Suppose we
SOW twelve quarts of timothy seed and
four pounds of red clover to the acre.
This will make 1S,944,0OO seeds of
timothy and o,O24,OOO seeds of clover,
a total of 24,96S,OOO seeds, or about 4
seeCs to the square inch. Using finer
seed in mixtures. as prescribed by
some of the English dealers, they often
SOW from 5O,OOO,0OO to 100,O0O,0OO
seeds to the acre, ornot far from eight
to sixteen seeds to each square inch.
In either case, there can be room for
only small proportion of the plants
should all the seeds grow and thrive
Much canton must be used in apply
ing the fixed rules laid down in books
or the fixed rules laid down by men
who seldom consult the books.-By

ural College.

Sowing Seed.

The time will soon be here when
seed sowing will take place on farms
and in gardens and as there is good
deal of economy involved in the pre-
else date of sowing, we will take occa-
sion to mention that one of the most
successful sewers we have known al
lows his garden ground to get rather
dry before putting in the seed. He
then stretches line where the seeds
are to 90, sows the seed on the surface,
and then walks sideways along the
line, pressing the seed with the fiat Of
his foot. He says that he has never
had seed to miss, and sows them very
tbinly just where every plant is to
grow. By this method there is not only
no waste of seed, but no time lost thin
ming out. There is no raking in of
the seed, the whole being as simple as
possible. In the portion of the garden
adapted to flowers, the women Of the
family take it in hand. Their flowers
always grow, and paper of seed of
each is as much as is necessary
for the whole garden. These seeds
are in the same manner sown directly
on the surface, and then the ground
is patted down with the trowel and
the flowers make their appearance in
about half of the ordinary time. Now
this is all reasonable enough when We
come to think about it. Seeds like to
be near the sun and air, as we'll as
near the moisture too, and all that is
necessary to make it SO is to press
them firmly in the ground as before
mentioned. OF course it must be un-
derstood that the seed need not to be
tramped, the mere pressingis sufficient
to cover little with the soil, which
should be very fine. The hint ap
pears to be valuable, and there is next
to no trouble in trying it.-German-

To Break up Sitting Hens.

Do not drench them in water, nor
put them in a barrel with an inch or
two of water in the bottom, nor tie
them up by one leg to tree, nor any
of those cruel practices, which our
fathers in their ignorance used. to
quench the natural instinct. But
take them from the nest, put them in
u large coop in the open air. under a
shade tree, if the weather is warm, and
feed them largely with everything. in-
Guiding baked beans, that you give to
your laying hens. In many cases the
fowl commences to sit when she is in
good condition to keep on laying eggs,
if we can but get the notion out Of her
head that she must be a clucking
mother.
She needs perhaps the material for
egg.shells. which may be easily sup
piled. Furthermore, she should not
be put in small coop, where she will
sit down and not obtain exercise bet
ter put her in pen having no floor,
but loose earth, where she may scratch
for a living. Activity will tend to

desire to sit 1t is we'll to provide
also for social activity, and to this end

will be found when you may be sure

Getting out of the Ruts.

There is some foundation for the
reputation farmers have of running
their business in ruts. Routine is a
good thing in its place, but diverg-
ence has its advantages. All improv-
ments are made by those who get out
of the beaten track, and try new crops,
new fertilizers, new stock and tools,
and new methods. Every farmer
should study the new things set forth
in the agricultural papers. and at the
farmers clubs, and other agricultural
gatherings. He will find chaff among
the wheat no doubt, but the sitting
process cultivates a habit of thinking,
and adds to his knowledge every year.
1t is important to have half an acre
or more devoted to experiments in
fertilizers, in new vegetables and
fruits, in draining and subsoiling, in
shallow and deep manuring. a hint
in your paper is one thing a test in
the soil, under your own supervision,
is quite another. 1t is barren upon
the printed page but when commit
ted to the soil, it may fructify and
bear fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and
some hundred fold.-American dg-
riculturist for april.
