SOWING GRASS SEED.
An opsrasien Requiring Considerable Car
and Patience.

An operasion Requiring Considerable Care
and Patience.
III you have never sowed any grass
seed on nice soft snow, by all means
try 20 do SO this spring, and after you
ha-s sowed y piece go over your ground
seeded and see how even Tor uneven) II
Is hyou have never paid any atten
ton as to how IL looks after 1t has left
your hand. or even the seeder, you will
be surprised when you examine closely.
You may have to get right on your
knees to get the full benefit of your
work. You will then see the impor-
lance OF being very particular in this
work. think l am safe in saying that
three'fourths of the seed sown is sown
by hand. 1t is almost an impossibility
to sow such seed by hand aud not get
It s'realSy on the snow.
The wheelbarrow seedcr Is perhaps
the evenest distributor OF any seeder
made. but this has serious objections.
II may do on sandy soil but il taken on
clay soil. and billy At that where it is
necessary to seed sometimes when the
gouud is quite soft this would be a
very inconvenient tool, and II am
right, it is quite expensive. My favorite
tool is the fiddle" us il is called, To
sow with fiddle and do good job re.
qnircs little thought The mistake
made by many is they try TO throw
the seed too far. When clover and
timothy are mixed and sown together
and thrown with great force clover
seed will fly the farthest, and II you
do not make a little lap your work
will be strealsy, II you want good
work with mixed seed, taking in a
little windy weather, would not SOW
more than ten feet, or two drill widths,
one on each side of you. This will
give a good lap aud will mix your seed
well, and you will not have any strips
of weeds across your fields,
In conclusion, will say that II you
are not familiar with the amount your
machine sows you can measure your
seed in quarts and count your fence
corners, aud you can tell at the tirst
bout just how you are going TO come
out Don't think It will not pay to
slap" tell you IL does pay. II will
not take over one hour more on ten
acres TO do it right No weeds will
then get foothold, besides the salts

a great deal cleaner than most cattle in

manure falls about midway, leaving an
entirely clean space next the mauger,

the manager being raised by another
board and false bottom when neces-

happen oftener than once month.
After three months OF constant occu-
