value in the scattered oats and barley
plowed under on land intended for
wheat. But it should be plowed early

for wheat sowing. To sprout this
grain and thus insure its destruction is
one OF the advantages of moist weather
following harvest.-M y Herald.

course in cropping land Is better than
taking longer time to it. This is as
suming that one year of this time the
land will be seeded to clover. With
little smaller area in grain or hoed
crops the grain. from increased fer.
tility. will make the farmer more clear
profit than from cultivating more acres
so poorly that the land will constantly
be growing poorer.-N Y. Tribune.

Where timothy seed is sown with
wheat or rye In the fall the grass seed
ing should be two weeks to q month
later. in order that it NAV not get q
sufficient growth to injure the grain.
W here wheat has been put in with a
drill and phosphated it is q good plan::to
harrow Just before sowing the grass
seed. This makes fresh surface for
the seed to fall on and. besides, pre-
vents the bulk of the grass seed from
falling into the drill burrows where
they will crowd and be crowded by the
grain.-PrGirie Farmer.
