good vie harrow we can 90 over the field
IN pan ne time that would be req uired with
. nap .ow one. What we gain in this way
snor aid be applied TO the finer working OF the
sol AS q general thing. but one narrowing
succeeds the cultiqation before seeding. An
other cross narrowing is of immense bene6t,
and it should be given If possible. One
narrowing after the cultivation usually
leaves the field In q very smooth, even con-
dition, but it is the second narrowing that
makes the surface fine. As a rule, We should
put more work on the land before the seed
is soWn and less after. The finer the seed
to be sown the finer the soil should be made.
For small garden seeds we can hardly make
the soil iine lenough with our field harrows.
In small gardens the garden-rAke may be
used after the harrow; but one wac is gar
dening on large scale should have very
light harrow with small, sharp, steel teeth
set closely together. Such an implement il
also excellent for the smaller field seeds,
such as grass, turnips, etc. The roller should
not be used on heavy soil, either before or
after seeding. On light. porous soils it may
precede the marking for crops that are to be
planted in rows or drills. A heavy plank
drawn broadside over the land is often vastly
superior to the roller, as it grinds the Jumps
instead OF pressing them into the ground.

English New Year superstitions.

Notes and Queries.
AT Christmas parties in the country the
young men have the privilege of kissi az any
of the opposite sex they can get hold Of.
When Sir Roger De Coverley is danced the
chief guests are expedited to dance with the
cook and butler. All peacock feathers must
be thrown out before New Years Day, or
else you will have i'll luck. On New Years
Eve you must take pieces of money, bread,
wood and coal, and little salt, tie them up
in bundle, and lay on the doorstep after
l.. Some one will then come, and you
must ask his name. If he says "John Smith"
he must not be admitted, because the initial
letters Of his name are curved; but If he
says edward Thompson" admit him at
once, az his initial letters are made up Of
straight lines; but be must bring the ban
die in with him that was laid on the step.
He must then wish you a happy NeT
Year, and, after receiving q gift, pass
out by the back door. Then be-
hold. good luck is yours for
another year. On both Christmas and New
Years Ewes, when the clock begins TO strike
u. the doors-especially the front and back
are opened, that the Dad spirits may pas
out and the good ones pass in, and immedi-
ately the clock has struck II the doors are
shut, as ii is said, ito keep the good spirits
in." The first person to enter the house on
New Years morning must be q man.
Many Holderness folks tell some little chap
to be ready to come in so soon as the old
year is dead, and so secure good luck to the
household. When the master enters his
house for the first time in the new year he
must take something in which he did not
take out. A Hull friend told me he always
emptied his pockets before he left home on
New Years morning and put in some money
and bread, which he procured at his moth
er's, and so reached his home armed with the
necessaries of life. Some people place six
pence on the doorstep on New Years Eve,
and 90 soon as the clock strikes it is brought
in. N. B.-This need hardly say, is done
in the countryl You must never 60 out on
New Years Day until some one has come in
is the rule in some parts.

Preparing the seed-Bed.
fOhiO Farmar

Preparing the seed-bed after the plow il a
work Of no small Importance. In regard to
the consistency of the soil at the time OF
working the same rule laid down for plow-
ing would also be applicable here. A good
seed-bed can not be made from wet, waxy
eartn. A very sandy soil may be worked
when quite wet, as the particles never ad-
here to any great extent, as is the case with
soils containing a considerable amount of
clay or loan. One cultivsting or narrowing
when the ground is in the right condition
will do more good than three when the
ground is toe wet to fall apart readily.
Where the land is ploughed in autumn,
or quite time before seeding it should not,
a rule, be replowed. That portion which
has lain exposed to the action of the ele-
ments is best adapted to the wants of plant
life, IS it Is more thoroughly disintegrated
and therefore holding its fertility in an i'm
medistely available form. To turn this
surface soil under would be to lose all that
has been gained by the action of the frost
or by other means. A thorough stirring and
mixing is what it wants. Cultivators with
deep, sharp tseth should first be used, run-
ming them both ways across the field. After
thus loosening up and stirring the VIII Ole
depth of the soil let the sun and
air have q chance at il for a few
hours at least before putting on the
haTroTs. Thee last should have 6ne,
closely set teeth, and bs light and wide, that
the work may be rapidly as welt az effect
lively done. A team can draw q light
framed, steel-toothed harrow that takes a
ten-foot sweep IS easily as ii could many OF

taken, and found il was full OF husks aud
the remains of insects, showing plainly that
the old bird must have been maintained q
long time by its vigorous companions,
which probably were its own offspring.
Further study of other birds of the same
species convinced the naturalist that it was
the custom for the old and infrm birds to be
cared for Dy the young and strong.
There are several species of barbets io1nd
ii Africa and South America, and though
not graceful in shape, many of them are ex
ceedingly beautiful in plumage. They get
their name from the French word barbe,
meaning beard. because they have tufts OF
stiff hair at the base of the bill. Naturalists
place them in genus called Bucco, and
some persons call them puff bird, because
they have an odd way OF putting out the
feathers al over the body, which then looks
more like bale of feathers than a bird.
