Preparing the seed-Bed.
OHIO Farmer

Unlo FARMER.
Preparing the seed-bed after the pillow is 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 blowing would also
be applicable here A good seed bed cannot be
made from wet, waxy earth. A very sandy SOIL
may be worked when quite wet, as the particles
never adhere to any great extent, as is the case
with soils containing considerable amount OF
clay or loam One cultivating or narrowing
when the ground is in the right condition will do
more good than three when the ground is too
wet to fall apart readily.
Where the land is plowed in autumn, or quite a
time before seeding it should not. as a rule, be
replowed. That portion which has lain exposed
to the action of the elements is best adapted to
the wants of plant life, as it is more thoroughly
disintegrated and therefore, holding its fertility
IN an Immediately 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 thorough stirring and mixing Is what
should first be used running them both
ways across the field After thus loosen
ing up and stirring the whole depth of
the soil let the sun and air have a
chance at it for few hours at least before put
ting on the harrows. These last should have
fine, closely-set teeth and be light and wide,
that the work may be rapidly as wen as effect
lively done. A team can draw a light-framed,
steel-tooth harrow that takes ten-foot sweep
as easily as it could many of the old-fashioned
UlIAD0rcd uTd5S bHdb COV6r0u leSS Ltldu
half the width. With good wide harrow we
can go over field in half the time that would
be required with narrow one. What we gain
in this way should be applied to the finer
working of the soil. AS general thing, but
one narrowing succeeds the cultivating before
seeding, Another cross-harrowing Is of
immense benefit and it should be given if posi-
BILE. One narrowing after the cultivating usu-
ally leaves the field in very smooth, even con-
dition but it is the second narrowing that makes
the surface fine. As rule we should put more
work on the land before the seed is sown and
less after. The finer the seeds to be sown the
finer the soil should be made. For small gar
den seeds we can hardly make the soil fine
enough with our field harrows. In small
gardens the garden-rake may be used
after the harrow; but one who is gardening
on large scale should have a very light harrow
with small, sharp steel teeth set closely together
Such an implement is also excellent for the
smaller field seeds, such as grass, turaips, etc.
The roller should not be used on heavy soils,
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.

ferred by some to the Irish potatoe in the max
ing of SOUP while artichoke pickles are really
the best pickles we have
If the intention is to cultivate artiehokes for
profit or marketing purposes, generally pre-
pare my ground in February or March, by
breaking it very deep and laying off in rows
three and half feet apart planting at the dis
lance of about twenty inches, then covering with
coat of soil over all to prevent the possibility of
freezing
When the plants are about twenty inches
high hill them up with the pillow or hoe, and
my labor with the crop is ended. Hogs should
not be turned in on them until the bloom is
about half dried up.
