If the soil be in a suitable condition and the temperature of the air and the soil, be sufficiently high, there is no doubt but “ is Salvation The Baptists suid ‘twuz sartin as the morn- in' follered night, That they had the road ter glory and wax runnin’ of it right; And the proud Episcopalians said the thing wuz plain as day, , That they'd have ter take the gospel the Episcopalian way, is very much weaker than from early sow- ing, the grain inferior. and the yield deficient. The reason for this is that the plant has not sufficient time to ma- ture before the ripening season comes on. whereas with early sowing the plant has every opportunity to develop, and if conditions are favorable returns will be much surer. However, farmers should guard against rowing too soon, or before the soil and air are sufficiently warm to promote rapid growth. No field should be sown until every part of the field is in the same condition as regards the pulveriz- ation and nature of the soil and as re- gards warmth. If one part of the field is warmer than the other, the seed sown on that portion will germinate earlier, and the result will be an uneven crop when harvest comes. For example, it very often happens that when a field of cats is harvested 9. large portion of the grain ripens earlier than the rest, and is lost. This is often due to uneven con ditions in the_soil when the seed was sown. It may also be due to the qual- ity of the seed sown. If the seed sown consists of small and large grains, there is likely to be a difference in the time of ripening, as the larger and more fully developed grain will produce a plant that, under similar conditions. will ripen earlier than a plant grown from a small- er grain. Besides, the results of exper- iments carried on at the Experimental Station, Guelph,- during the past four years show that the yield will be very much greater frbm large, round, plump seed than from small seed. To ensure a good crop that will ripen evenly the farmer should aim at having an even seed bed, an even degree of warmth in the soil, and a good quality of seed. Whether the sowing is done early or late it always pays to work the land well before the seed is put in. Our best grain farmers are those who give particular attention to this pointyand who aim at having the soil thoroughly pulverized before the seen is sown. Extra cultivation and extra harrowing will always pay providing other condi- tions are favorable, and though it will pay to sow as early in. the spring as pos- sible, yet it will be injurious to do so be- fore thc land is in perfect condition for receiving the seedâ€"Farming. .* Feeding ‘Work-Horses.

HE MOURNED THE LATE MR. BRO‘VN, AND MOURNED HIM FERVENTLY. “ I have come,” said the stranger with the mild face and the side, whisk- ers to the undertaker in the little town, “ to make some inquiries concerning the late Mr. Brown. What kind of a grave did you give'him ?” “ Mr. Joseph Brown, sir,” said the undertaker. “ was a poor man when he died, and his widow could not afford really high class obsequies. In fact, there is no harm in stating that there is no stone. over the grave at all. Mrs. Brown left here very shortly after her husband's death and has not since re- turned. No one in our town has seen her subsequently." She stsanger pondered a moment or two, and then drew his chair up to the undertaker. ‘* Your information agrees perfectly with what I had supposed.” he said, “ Now I want you to erect the handsom- est stone you’ve got over the grave, and on this stone I wish the following in- scription to be cut and gilded : â€". A farmer writes to the American Cul- tivator, deprecating the too common practice of overfeeding horses. The ef- fectiveness of working horses, and espec- ially on farms, is often impaired by in- judicious feeding. This subject is bet- ter understood than it used to be, but there are yet far too many instances of horses being put to work with stomachs overloaded, and yet not providing the nutriment needed to give the muscular strength which hard work always re- quires. Hence the horse is always slow in his gait and soon tires out. This overloading the stomach with in- nutritious food is mainly due to the av- erage farmer's dependence on hay as the staple and cheapest food for horses. ‘ I Really, so far as effectiveness goes, grain, MOURN and especially cats, are always cheaper HIS than hay. Livcrymen, and those in LOSS cities who keep horses, soon discover HOW’ this fact. They have to buy all that , their horses eat, and learn to discrimi- DEEPLE nate. When they feed hay exclusively, NONE they find that the horse is incapacitated CAN for fast or long driving on the road. TELL. Farm work differs from that on the raid in not requiring so rapid moxion. Farm horses can, therefore, be fed more hay, but enough grain or meal should go with it. so that the proper amount of nutrition can be secured without too RTCHA RD ROBINSON.’ ” 'l‘hc stranger here produced a large roll of bills.
