Flowing Frozen Ground.

If there is a thin crust of frozen soil
OF ever a light fall Of snow on the
ground when it is fall plowed, it will
be none the worse for the soil next
spring. The frozen soil holds up the
furrow better, even though when turned
to the bottom it is soon thawed by the
earth's internal heat. The result will
be that frost will penetrate to the bot
tom Of the furrow, giving the soil a
much finer filth than would be possible
by repeatedly cultivating it, says Amer
lean Cultivator.

By feeding this way all the time in

stalks and refuse, which keeps down all
mud and makes a fairly comfortable bed
for the steers. This also makes a big
manure pile, which even in this country
