PREPARING FOR THE FALL SEEDING.

After the harvest is over and men and
teams have rested a few days, the oat
stubble and the second crop clover
ground, intended for seeding early this
fall, should be turned over, writes F..
Sanderson of Baltimore, Md.
The land must be plowed in time so
that the stubbie may rot, and also that
the soil may become settled and firm be-
fore seeding. All practical farmers have
long since come to the conclusion that
the early plowed land kept mellow by
the free use of the harrow and roller,
but firm underneath, yields the most
most grain and the best quality.
In our limestone districts, notably N
the Cumberland Valley, the corn land is
mostly drilled to wheat. The corn ripens
early, some years as early as September
9TH. It is cut off by contract at 1925
to $3.50 per acre, and placed in shock,
sixteen corn rows making one row of
shocks, and these shocks are securely
tied. The corn ground is thoroughly
narrowed and then rolled. The wheat
drill follows the roller, putting in Il
bushels of wheat and $50 pounds of some
standard fertilizer per acre. This corn
ground wheat will produce from twenty
to thirty bushels per acre, and in some
exceptional cases as much as forty
bushels per acre has been produced upon
fields ranging from thirty T. fifty acres
in extent.
But few of US have limestone land,
nor can we obtain such enormous yields.
Those of us having land of good quality
should commence right by having what
ground may be needed for either wheat
or rye plowed now, aud have the burrows
of uniform depth and we'll turned over,
90 the sod may rot quickly. IN our Sec

GOOD WALKS FOR THE FARM.

Most farm premises are not adequate
~ provided with properly made walks.
The footpath from the front gate to the
house, and from the house to the barn
should be covered with some better ma
terial than dirt. In a section where fat
stones can be easily obtained they will
make the most economical and durable
walk. They need not be wide enough
to reach across the walk, but may be
laid side by side until the desired width
is obtained. Cobble stone may be used.
In making a stone walk bank the earth
at least two inches above the level, and
press the stones firmly into this bank.
Round stones should be two inches or
less in diameter, and pounded down
with a sledge. 1t will be difficult to
keep the grass out of this walk unless
salt, or very strong brine, is frequently
scattered over it. Gravel, when easily
obta1nable, makes durable and cheap
walk, and one that is always dry. The
foundation should be excavated to the
depth of at least one foot, and filled
with small or broken stone to within six
inches of the top, then fill the remain
der with gravel, making the top little
rounding. The gravel should have been
previously freed from all earth by sift-
ing or washing. Next to fiat stone,
plank walks are the cheapest and best.
If planks are laid lengthwise of the walk,
they should be firmly spiked at the ends
to pieces of some durable wood sunk in
the soil, and if such pieces and the low
er sides of the planks are coated with
several applications of crude petroleum,
they will last much longer. Inch
boards may be used instead of plank.
The walk from the barn to the house is
the most important, as it is from this
source that the most mud is tracked in
to the house. If dry walks are provided
the housewife will each year be saved
many hours of hard, disagreeable work
in cleaning the kitchen door American

ton, which is Of clay loam-level, or
gently undu!atiug-mosta all the blowing
is done By the sulky pillow, using three
stout mules or horses TO each pillow. The
advantages these plows have over the
old hand plow is much more and better
work; the land is evenly turned over at
a uniform depth and no skips or missed
places left. The pillow being supported
on wheels is not so hard on the team,
nor on the plowman, who rides instead
of walking, and having the fire.. use Of
his hands, can manage his team much
better. Two such plows will turn over
with ease three acres per day.
After the blowing is thoroughly done the
next point is to have the soil made mel
low and free OF lumps-not only on the
surface, but some three or more iaches
below the surface. This tining OF the
soil can only be done by first narrowing
with the three horse spring tooth hGr-
row, followed by the roller. This firms
the ground. In two weeks time harrow
again, crossing the field tae second time,
and just before seeding harrow once
more, then roll, and follow with tho
drill, using one aud half bushels of
wheat and from $50 to 800 los OF dis
solved bone per acre. We always aim to
put in about twenty acres of wheat each
season after the above manner, and aim
TO get it in by the goth of September,
and rarely fail of having an extra good
crop. We think the early blowing aud
thorough preparation of the soil have
much to do with this abundant yield. 1
write this so my brother farmers may
try this plan. York Independent.
