Bat it is uut so generally known that the wheat will do better ceiierally if the laud is eituply disced after tha peai?, ruber tbau plowed. And yet it is a fact. The reasons are found iu tho finer character of the seed bed, in the larger aiuotiut of moisture which it bilds, aud in the firmer character of iho soil Jmiug wiiUer, which pre vents the tetideiicy to heaving of liio grain just tu proportiou aa greater firmness of the soil exists. But iu wet weather these b'.'uerits will be less realized thau iu weather that is uurmal or the op pusite in character. Aud if weeds or grass have beeu abundant lu the peas, it will be found much better to piow iLau to disc. The discing sliould be doue just after tlie removal of the pea crop. It may be acrois the ridges or aloug tlieiu. The seceud discing, however, should I'O across the cotiise of tlie di.^c marks rtrst matte.
