Ir mar lie sown mi is nil advantage in so doing—the miow, ns if melts, warliiug the seed in'o the ground. Un less Ihe soil at.fi the vauthtr nre veiy dry, however, there is little danger that the seed will niit germinate. Tin* wheat plants afford sufficient shade and moisture. Last year, the weather wa> remarkably warm early in the spring, followed by protracted mi. and cold. Mm.li of the clover seed sown early hail started, and the young phi :ts perished.— To nvoid snch failure, some of oar best farmers sow part of the seed say the fiiM wet k in April and again aboat the 20; It. This is double labor of sowing, hut it lessens the risk of fail are ; and when the second * n - commended, as the liability to injury from the midge is largely augmented by any dwlay in the ripening processes. Whether piaster real ly has this effect or not. we can not tell. In Mr. I i iwes' experiments, alkaline salts in con nection with ammonia had a tendency to in crease the quantity of straw without an increase of grain ; i e., alkalies and ammonia gave no more grain, hut more s/rnir, than the same quantity of ammonia without alkalies, it is not improbable that plaster might have the same effect. Since liie advent of the midge, and the de creased quantity of land sown to wheat, clover is sown more extensively with spring grains. Barley is undoubtedly the best spring crop for this purpose. In England, nearly ail the clover is sown with barley. The land is made as line and mellow as possible, and the clover seed is generally sown after the barley has been har rowed in and the work completed, except rul ling, which is done after the barley is up. If the land is at all cloddy, it is better to roll be-, fore the clover is sown. There is much more (dover seed lost from burying it too deep than from not covering it at all. Several years ago, we recollect seeing the results of some careful experiments, made by Mr. Stkruvu, of Scot land, on sowing clover seed at different depths. More seals germinated when covered very slightly (if we recollect aright, the eighth of an inch,) than at any greater depth—the de crease being in proportion to the depth. Tlio.-e sown on the surface gave a less favorable rc- j suit than those slightly covered, but better than any sown at a greater depth ; — i e., those cov ered the eighth of an inch did best ; those sown on the surface, nearly as well ; those covered one-fourth of an inch, not quite -o well as those on the surface ; those covered half an inch, still worse ; and so on, till at two inches they did not germinate at all. As a general rule, clover does not succeed ! so well sown with oats as with barley, spring '• wheat, or rye, though we have known several instances where a good set of clover has been obtained when seeded with oats. Willi this j crop, it would undoubtedly lie safer to sow a j little more seed. For pasture, and wlten it is intended to plow up the land at the end of one or two years, we should sow nothing hot clover. From four to six quarts, or from eight to twelve pounds, is the nsual quantity in such cases. For mowing six pounds of medium clover, and four and a half pounds of timothy seed, is the nsual quan tity, varying less or more according to the con dition of the soil. We are in favor of thick 1 seeding, and would much rather sow more than less. English farmers, as a rule, sow half as much again clover and grass seeds per acre ns we do and a greater variety. They find theirac count in so doing. We have known experienc ed English farmers sow as much ns 20 lbs. per acre of red clover, trefoil, ami white Dutch, in addition to rye-grass. Our land is so well ad apted to clover and grass, that such thi, k s< ed ing is unnecessary here ; but we are not sure if it would not sometimes be advantageous to sow more seed than we do. There nre few implements more needed on American farms than a light pair of harrows for covering small seeds. The roller answers the purpose to some extent ; but if the soil is , at all damp, and dry weather ensues, a hard crust forms on the surface, through which it is difficult for the seeds to penetrate. An imple ment which should combine the operation of roller and harrow, would be an improvement, for this purpose, upon either. The late Mr. Smith, of Dcnnsfon, invented an implement which is designed to accomplish this result.— It is called the web-h.n• roir. It consists of an iron chain web, connected by discs or quoits of iron which, lying obliquely upon their sides when in operation, roll around, thus tearing and abrading the surf ice of the ground, audi grinding the smaller clods, so as to expose and disturb the surface sufficiently to cover the small seeds strewn upon it. It is by tiie rub bing of the sides of the discs against the land, as they revolve, that they are especially useful ; more than hv the action of their edgi s, though that is also efficient to some extent The price ' of this harrow in England is aboat $25, cover ing 2.) square feet of ground. The common brush-harrow—a framework of wood interlac ed with brush—forms a good substitute for the expensive implement of Mr. SMITH. It merely scratches the surface, and so far gives the seeds a very shallow covering : but it wants the j weight which makes the web harrow to com press as well as abrade the surface, both of which conduce to its efficiency. BARl.ki'.—Since the uncertainty of the wheat j crop, the cultivation of barley is attracting more attention. Our short, dry, hot summers, arc not as well adapted fur barley as for wheat. I Our best samples of wheat are heavier, finer, drier, and more farinaceous than the English ; while our barley is decidedly inferior to that, grown in the cool, long summers of the British Isles. Barley delights in a loose, warm.quick soil. Its roots spread but little—not half as far or deep as the roots of wheat. Heuce the soil should be rich, ami as loose ns possible. It is probably owing to this fact that super- | phosphate ot lime (which seems to develop the formation of roots) lias a better effect on bar ley than ou wheat. A clayey soil will produce good barley, if it can be made sufficiently light and porous.

The Excelsior Churn! Patented by SILAB HEWITT, July 11,1857. THIS CHI UN is the result of years of experience by a practical fanner, to produce a Churn that has all the advantages of the old Dash Churn, and he a labor-saving Machine. Me claim-for this Churn, tiud are prepared to prove by aetnal demonstration, that it will produce more butter—a letter quality--with less time and less labor - than any other Churn iu market. It is perfectly simple in its construction, not liable to get out of order, anil a child can operate on it. Tt has been thoroughly tested by several hundred farmers in Seneca and adjoining Counties, and its merits fully established wherever introduced, and is pronounced by all to le one of the greatest improve . raents of the age. tie" Die following extract from the Seneca Falls papers of Mav lb;th, is a sample of what the " EXCELSIOR CHCUN " has done, in competition with oWier Churns : '• A trial between the Smith Churn, of Elgin, Illinois, : (which took the first premium at the State Fair at Buffalo last fall, and has taken the premium at all the Fairs where jit has been exhibited) and the Excel-ior Ch irn.of this village, touk place at Woodmansee's Hotel, the 20tti in>t. i The cream was taken from the same vessel, after being stirred up that it might be of the same temperature and quality—one quart at a time—each Churn receiving two gallons. The Excelsior Churn p oduced and gathered the Rut tee hard and yellow in sue and a half minute.), while the Smith Churn was 12 minute* in producing the Butter, which was soft, white and oily : and Excelsior ; Churn produced Twelve Ounces more Butter than the Smith Churn ! The Excelsior Churn then produced thir teen ounces of good Butter from the Butter Milk of the Churn, being more than half as much as they gift from the cream! The Smith Churn could not produce any Butter from the buttermilk of the Excelsior Churn.' Trial of Churns —Report of the Committee. At the trial between Smith's Churn, from Elgin,lllinois, and Hewitt's Excelsior Churn. manufactured in this vil lage, which took place at Woodmansee's Hotel, on Wed nesday morning, the following was the result of the trial: Hewit's Churn, 2J lbs.—Butter in OA minutes. Smith's Churn, 14 lbs. Butter In 12 minutes. About two gallons of Cream was put in each Churn. The milk from Smith's Churn was then changed to Hew it's. and thirteen ounces of Butter extracted from it. No Butter eonld he brought from the milk from the llewit ( 'hum, which was transferred to Smith's. The quality of Butter from Hewit's Churn was much the best, being of better color, and more solid. A second trial, which was about one-third more cream was put in the Hewit Churn than in the other, resulted very nearly the same as above, Hewit's Churn being shown to be greatly the superior.
