SOWING R-VE.
The earlier this gram is gotten in the
better prospect will there be of it* succeed
jng well. In most instances this grain is
allotted to light thin soils, in which neither
the elements of mineral or nutritive man
ures exist, and then, because the yields are
li" lit, the grain is condemned, when in tact
ihe fault lies in the sower—lies in the
fact that he had not provided it anything to
for it is a truth, that rye, like every
thing else that grows,requires nourishment.
We are aware, and readily admit the fact
that light lands suit rye best, but then, this
lightness of soil has regard to its texture
alone, and does not imply that the soil also
shall bo poverty stricken —exhausted and
worn out. Rye, to be sere, requires less
fertility in the soil than wheat, but still, it
is necessary that there shall be some thing
in the earth besides sand wherever it may
be grown. In its straw, there is a very
large per centum of sihcia, but belore that
can enter therein, the sand must be dissol
ved by potash, and reduced to a consistence
to be taken up by the roots of the rye
plants. If, therefore, the field on which
r> e is to be sown, lias been long in culture
without having been treated to ashes, or
lime, the conclusion is a reasonable one,
that its mineral constituents have been near
ly exhausted, and it is equally reasonable
to conclude, that they should be resupplied.
How this ts to be done, is a question of
sotr.e moment. A moderate dressing of
cow dung would furnish nearly, if not all,
that rye requires, but as there are many
who have not that manure to give, or not
perhaps the time to haul it out and spread
it, we will suggest, that a compost, formed
in the proportion to the acre, of 5 bushels
cf lime, 5 bushels of ashes, 1 bushel of
salt, and 1 of plaster, if thoroughly mixed
together and applied to even thin poor land
would ensure a good crop of rye and carry
a clover crop alter it. The compost above
spoken of, is, of course, to be applied to
the surface and harrowed in with the grain
when seeded. And as we do not wish to
ba misunderstood, we will here remark,
that we do not prescribe it is an applica
tion calculated lor a permanent improve
ment of poor soil, but as ensurer of a crop
of rye and the setting of clover. The clo
ver once set, should, to carry it prosper
ously through its allotted time, be treated
to a bushel of plaster also.
Preparation of the ground. Plough
deep, turn the furrows flat, and harrow
thoroughly.
Quantity of seed per acre■ —The qucn
lily of seed usually sown, per acre, ts 4
pecks; vre preler to sow 5 pecks.
Preparation of the seed. — He usually
soaked it from 12 to 24 hours in salt btine
made strong enough to float an egg. and
as we were abuut to sow diaineu otfthe
brine, and mixed ashes, lime or plaster
with the seed, so as to divide and reader
them easy of distribution.
Covering the seed. —This may be done
either with the plough, cultivator or har
row—our method was to use the plough,
and cover the seed from 2 to iJ inches, then
harrow, and roll. Whatever implement
may be used, the work should be comple
ted with the roller.
If the rye should prove luxuriant and
rank, it should be grazed in earlv spring
with sheep and calves, but not with heavy
stock. — Am. Farmer.
VIEWS OF A PRACTICAL FARMER.
Raising Winter Grain. — Phis commu
nication is intended for young farmers on
ly, that commence business; and I should
advise them not to experiment on too large
a scale on what the theorists call deep
ploughing, unless they have plenty of
capital to work upon—as some writers re
commend ploughing from twelve to four
.een inches deep. I would go a consider
able distance to see the plough and team
that would plough that deep. My prac
tice for seventeen years, in breaking up
sod, fallow ground, or oats stubble, for
seeding, is to plough from six to e;ght in
chea, which I consider deep ploughing.—
If a coat of lime is intended, put on the
Ume, if a heavy soil, at the rate of fifty
bushels per acre; as eoon as the ploughing
is finished give it thorough harrowing,
then put on the manure and spread it in as
even a manner as practicable; then plough
again about four inches deep, in lands of
about five yaid3 wide. My reason lor not
ploughing the manure in deeper, is that the
sun and atmosphere will act more upon it,
and it will come mure in contact with the
sun, and will act more as a stimulant to the
voung plunt, which is of very great im
portance.
Seed front tenth to the fifteenth of Sep
tember, for rye about one bushel and a
peck per acre, and wheat one bushel and
three pecks per acre, to be harrowed in or
put in with lite cultivator—the latter most
preferable, as it leaves the ground in bet
ter condition i{ intended to he laid down in
timothy. If the land is intended for timo
thy. sow the seed immediately after the grain
is harrowed in,at about four quarts per acre;
if sown while the grouud is fiesh, it will
take much better than if sown in the spring.
Clover seed should be sown about the mid
die of March, if the weather will permit—
about from three to four quarts per
acre.
IIOVEN OR BLOATED CATTLE.
Tb is U a. disease that cattle are liable to
el any season of tho year, but more par
ticulaily w!i u in clover pasture of a lux
uriant growth. They will sometimes get
it if ted on apples, potatoes, or new corn
The best lemeuv in such cases that J have
been successful with, is lar und oil. Give
them immediately some lar, from a gill tr
half a pint. Let a person hold the cow
hy the hnr.i with oris hand, and by the un
der jaw or nostril with the other; take s
euiooth piece of a shingle or board, aur
jujt the tar on the loot of the tongue in smal
quantities, and let her swallow it. (Jive
her about a pint of common oil, or melted
lard. Put a straw band in her mouth with
a little tar on it—tie it round above her
horns, and she will be well in twenty or
thirty minutes. Let her have very mod
erate exercise.
If a cow breaks off from her milk, give
her a table-spoonful of saltpetre two or
three times a week; have her well curried
and rubbed, especially along the back; then
fake spirits of turpentine one part, and
two part 9 spermaceti or nealsfoot oil, and
bathe her along the hack bone, from the
shoulder blade to the root of the tail, and
put a small quantity 011 her head between
the horn#. She should bo rubbed frequently.
If this is attended to in time, there will be
no necessity for the barbarous practice of
boring the horns, which is generally worse
than the disease. If the udder should be
swollen, rub it with hogs lard freely, and
keep her milked clean. This will allay
the fever, and the cow will soon get
well.
WHEAT ON PRAIRIE LANDS.—Some
very successful experiments have been
made this year and last, in the central and
northern part 9 of Illinois, in the cropping
of wheat on new prairie lands.
Near New Carthage, in 1647, Mr. A.
Hamilton broke 100 acres of new prairie,
finishing about the Ist of August. This
he put in wheat, completing the sowing
by the 15th of September. Prom this 160
acre tract he cut and secured 2300 bushels
of good wheat, losing enough he thinks,
through inability to harvest it in season,
to have made the whole average 30 bush
els to the acre. Prom this crop he is real
izing the present season, Sißoo. The
breaking of the ground cost him 51.50 per
acre, or 8150 for the whole, and the inclo
sing of it $160; being at the rate of sls
per thousand for 10,000 rails, aud SI per
thousand for laying the fence.

FOR PLANTING WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY,

PIIHIS Machine operates equally well on
JL all kinds of land, and is not injured by
coming in contact with rocks, roots, &c. It
will plant point rows, and ail irregular shaped
fields, without sowing any pari twice over, j
With a saving ot from 10 to 15 percent, in
labor, it will, with ease tor two horses, plant
from 10 to 12 acres per day of wheat, oats,
barley, and other small grains; and with one
man and horse, it will readily plant from 10 to
20 acres per day ot Indian corn, beans, peas,
rutabagas, tec.
It will save from 2 to 3 pecks ot seed per
acre, and yield irony 10 to 20 per cent, more
than the broad cast seeding, by distributing
the grain uniformly at any desired depth, and
leaving a ridge of earth between the rows.
The roots of the young plant are protected
during the winter by the action of the frost
ar.d rain mouldering the earth upon them, in
stead of being thrown cut md ex posed as in
broad cast. On this account the stalk is
stronger and less subject to mildew, and is not
so liable to injury by the fly.
The farmer is frequently prevented by rain
from harrowing in his grain aiter it is sown,
which harrowing is needless in seeding with
this machine as it completes the work at once.

Mr. Amier Thompson : Dour Sir—The
Pennock Drill i got from you last summer,
worked to rny entire satisfaction, in rough and

ing separate and independent of each other, is
a decided advantage, by escaping rocks, roots,
sowing point rows, &c., and from the appear
ance of my crop at this time, there will be a
better yield to the acre than on what I sdwed
broad-cast, besides a saving ol one halt bushel
of seed to the acre. I believe it is one ot the
most profitable agricultural implements in use
by tiic tanning community.
