Odd Hints for March.
As bay and straw will become drier, with
the progress of the seasoD, the supply should
be a little increased, for feeding stock, and the
quantity of roots, not diminished.
Grass-lands which failed to receive their
dressing of compost lest Fall, may be attend
ed to now, before the ground becomes soft.—
Tne manure dropped during the Winter,around
hay-stacks in meadows, should be cleaned up
and carted away on sleds before Spring opens,
if left until May, the. grass will be badly in
jured, if not killed. Dry meadows will take
it kindly if you give them'a bushel or two of
plaster, or a few bushels of liinc, or leached
ashes, to the acre, and Winter grain, which
got no plaster at sowing time, may well Lave
it early this Spring.
Fruit trees exhaust the ground of its need
ful elements, and should be manured a little
every year. A compost of chip-dirt and barn
manure now spread over the orchard, will
help the grass and the trees themselvcf.
Water-courses which are allowed to flow
ovgr mowing lands, should be frequently chang
ed, so that all parts of the fields may get ben
efit from the irrigation, and the grass in no
part become rank and uneven. Now, or as
soon as the frost is out of the ground, this
should be attended to.
If any dead animals.—cats, lambs, dogs,
calves, cows, horses, etc. —have accumulated
around the premises during the Winter, now
is the time to dispose cf tlura. Instead of j
beiDg hauled into some retired spot, to decay !
above ground and fill the air with noxious j
smells, they should be taken to some unoccupi
ed corner of a field and covered with six or
eight inches of soil ; this will not only obviate
unpleasant effluvia, but will contribute largely
to the mannre-hcap.
Now is the time to look after seeds, ii they
have not been already provided. Let every ar
ticle be the best of its kind, if good crops are
expected. The garden should not be forgot
teu. Fens, beans, tomatoes, lettncc, radishes,
and the like, should be provided for before the
hurrying season comes.
Now, split rails, and stack them where they j
will dry well, if they are not wanted immedi
ately on the fences. Look well to all ihe farm
gates, bars, and bar-posts ; let none be out of
repair after this month. A broken fence often
costs about the value of a crop.
lIOEIXG WHEAT IN* TIIK SrnixG. —ln a pre
vious article, we have alluded to the advan
tages of bringing seed wheat from the South,
for the purpose of getting the wheat so early
that it may escape the attacks of the midge.—
Something can be done in this way ; but we
must also endeavor to cultivate the soil, so as
to enable it to force the wheat forward. We
must make it dryer, and warmer and richer —
at I'ast richer in the appropriate food rf reheat
i e., richer in the ammonia, without much car
bonaceous matter.
L T nderdraining not only removes injurious,
stagnant water, but it also makes the soil war
mer, and, consequently, plants growing on it
ripen earlier. Tho midge will force farmers to
avail themselves cf this fundamental means of
improving their farms.
But we do not now intend to give our views
on the best method of growing wheat so as to
avoid the midge, but rather to ask the experi
ence of our readers in regard to the effect of
hoeing wheat in accelerutiug or retarding its
early maturity.
We have often seen wheat hoed in England,
and always with decided benefit ; but we can
not say whether it favored the ripeniug pro
cess or not.
MORTON'S Cyclopedia cf Agriculture (one of
the latest and Lest English authorities) says :
" All drilled wheat should be hoed in spring,
both for the purpose of loosening the surface
and cutting up weeds ; it will always pay itself
either by an iucreased crop or by saving in
the after-cleaning of the land, and often it will
make all the difference between a very good
and a very bad crop."
There is one difficulty in hoeing wheat here
which is not met with in England. Our
springs are late, and the wheat begins to grow
rapidly before the ground is sufficiently dry to
hoe. Still, some farmers have adopted the
practice here on a small scale, and, we believe,
with very encouraging results. Those, too,
who have harrowed their wheat ia the spring,
have found it beneficial.
Unless the land is very hard and foul, the
Dutch-hoe is t lie best for hoeing wheat. When
the drills are twelve inches apart, wheat can
be hoed by hand for about seventy five cents
an acre —and we know of BO cheaper method
of eradicating rcdrcot and other noxious
weeds.
If our farmers will try the effect of hoeing
wheat, and the result is beneficial, some of our
intelligent mechanics will construct a
machine which will do the work well, and at a
cheap rate.— Genesee Farmer.
How TO RAISE SEEDLING POTATOES. —After
the vines having seed-balls on have been well
dried, after beiug frosted in the fall, collect as
many balls as may be wanted, squeeze the
pulp out in a basin of water, wash all the pulp
out by frequent rinsings, spread the seed ou a
board set np on the kitchen mantel until well
dried, rub them and blow out all out all bnt
the best and heaviest seed. Sow them the
next spring in a hot bed, as yon wonld tomato
seed, and at the same time you would to raise
early tomatoes ; transplant after spring frosts,
as soon as the ground wi'l pulverize well into
rich new or well manured old ground, in rows,
one set in a place, two feet a part each way.
Cultivate well, by hilling up as the young
vines grow, to prevent them from falling
down and mildewing prematurely. The better
the tillage tho liuer will be their siza and the
more abundant will be the yield.
From one rod square of rich new ground of
a clay soil I raised by the above mode, the
last season two bushels ot some half dozen dis
tinct kinds from the seed balls gathered from
the pure white Neshannock, three-fourths of
which were large full-sh.ed potatoes, although
planted quite late in the spring. A lotof the
finest in quality and size which, together with
several varieties of the second year's growth,l
have buried, and after they are all well tested,
those who are worthy of cultivation I shall
name and distribute to all who may waut
samples.
I plant altogether upon the oue eyed plaD,
as recommended by Mr. Me Williams,and have
for the last four years, and succeeded four-fold
bettor than the whole potato plau. If planted
in hills two by three feet. I would recommend
three and four eyes iu each hill, if in drills,not
more than six iuehes aj>art iu the row.
