In seeding land to grass it would be
much better if greater variety Of plants
were grown. Some kinds succeed better
than others under special conditions of
soil, so that the greater variety sown.
the better the land is likely to be- coy

produced. But the advantage of much
greater palatablcncss of pasture or hay
which contains a variety of grasses is
even more important. As an aid to
make all hay more eagerly eaten, some

Spring Work for Horses.

The best way to prepare horses for
spring work is to have something for
them to do all winter, SO as to keep the
muscles firm and the skin tough where
the collar bears on it. But this is too
often not done. The result is that there
must be a week or two of preparatory
light work, resting frequently when
there is danger that the shoulder will

Flowing for Corn.

Corn ground ought to be plowpd carly,
not merely to allow the sod TO rot. and
more time to make a seed bed. but also
because the plowed surface is much more
permcable to tho air. and warns up more
quickly: 1t should not be plowed deeply.
but sufficient soil should be brought up
fellow the grass roots to make a good
seed bed. This can best he done by
blowing with the jointer. small pillow
set in the plow beam. which cuts fur
row two inches deep. and tapping about
half the width of the main furrow on it.
self. Then when the main plow comes
along it cuts three to four inches of soil,
turning the main furrow with the grass
side down, or rather the two grass sur
faces in contact. This causes speedy fer
mentation which helps to warm and ell
liven the seed bed above. The modern
spripg-tooth drag is then put on cutting
across the burrows, and still further light
ening the surface soil. 1t pays to have
the corn ground plowcd two or three
weeks before planting time. and the more
it is cultivated in this time the better the
seed bed will be. Many weed seeds will
start under this repeated cultivate and
their destruction will make the soil richer
and warmer than as if they had not been
present. TO destroy a weed so soon as it's
seed has terminated makes it not Il curse
but All advantage to the farmer.
