Clean Up the Farm.
Germantown Telegraph.

Allowing bushes to grow in q pasture
may be excusable, but there appears to be
no excuse for allowing them to grow in
moving or cultivated fields. If there is
anything that detracts from the appear
ance of farm, it is having the sides by the
walls and fences covered with a growth of
weeds. We have been past farms where. in
consequence of sprouts, bushes and weeds,
it was almost impossible to even get a
glimpse of the field it bordered. even though
it was clear beyond. Where such cases ex-
list there is need of reform, and there is no
better season of the year in which to per-
form the labor of clearing away the nuis-
ance than the winter. Old hedge rows can
be cut down, the brush piled up and
burned, and the Improvement In the
looks of the field will more
than pay for all the labor required. This
condition in cultivated fields is quite
frequently the result of negligence during
the period of cultivation. 1t is hardly pos
close to fence or wall. and in far too many
instances this narrow strip is allowed to
remain untouched during the entire period
of cultivation, and is the very place where
foul weeds will lodge and finally terminate.
and we hardly ever had field left in that
way but that it became pretty well started
with foul growth of rank weeds or bushes.
Although it requires a little extra labor at
first to accomplish it, it is usually we'll to
grub out from the fence. and espe-
cially so by the sides of walls all that
the entire surface of the field may be Guilt
waited and kept clean. Then when seeded
down there will be no unsightly hedge rows
to be left to be cut at some more convenient
season. There is yet force in the old say
ing, "a stitch In time saves nlne."

Sowing Oats.

Sowing Oats.
ST. Louis Republican.
After sowing the grass seed this is the
next important work to be done in the
spring. Taking one season with ANOTHER it
is the early-SOwn oats that give the best
yield. If they fail to ripen before the hot
weather that we usually have in July they
are almost certain to be affected more or
less. There is, in fact, less danger of dam
age by frost in the spring when sown early
late. For this reason it is an item to SOW
them as early in the spring as the condi-
tions of the soil will admit.
There are a number of different ways OF
economical being to sow broadcast on corn
stubble land, OF land that has been
ploughed in the fall, and then cultivate
them in, either with a walking cultivatOr
and sometimes the roller is used to fine and
level the soil and cover the seed. Oats take
their nutriment near the serface, so that it
is not necessary to stir or prepare the soil
to any great depth, three inches being suf-
ficienrly deep.
An object gained by rolling. especially in
what may be termed thin land, is that the
work of harvesting is somewhat easier. In
addition to this, rolling firms the soil, and
especially if it is somewhat dry, will induce
quicker and better termination OF the
seed.
If the drill is used the disc harrow will,
in many cases. be the most economical
implement to use in preparing the soil And
where this is the case the work can be done
very rapidly with two team. as no har-
rowing is needed after drilling.
The old style of ploughing the ground
with breaking-plough, sowing the seed
broadcast and narrowing in. has gradually
given way to the more rapid plan of sowing
and cultivating in, thus lessening cOnsid-
erably the time and work required to put
in this crop. AS rule there is always a
press of work to be done in the spring, and
every advantage should be taken to save
time and have all the work done in good
season. Some time can be saved by having
the seed on hand and the tools all in good
condition, ready for work and the work all
planned out, so that while the condition of
the soil will admit, the work can be pushed
along rapidly. AS a rule. oats sown in
February are surer crop than those sown
in April. And on the farms where stock is
kept to consume nearly OF quite all the
farm products, oats should form q part of
the crops. In system of rotation, oats
should always be considered leading
