Hints to Farm Improvements.
J-trmom are generally anxious to improve
„ Tneir farms, or at leu£t to reap the results ol
soeh improvement in better crops and greater
profits, bat very runny of ibeiu have yet 10
learn the most direct road to prospercu. agri
culture. It lies rather through careful manege
inent of abundant labor and capital, tbau in
stinting these to the lowest possible amount—
the saving is in the prudent ue of every means
of progress rather than in the miserly neglect
of all which seem to be indirect aids,but w hicb
are really the trifles which cusure that increase
above the coAof produc'.ion which alone couuts
as profit.
Let us look at one of the simplest axioms of
the better farming. "There is no way," says
John Johuston, " that land eaiq be so profita
bly improved as by grass kept iu a vigorous
state of growth." To grow large crops of grass
we must have ilch, drained land —naturally
fertile or enriched by manure and thorough
culture before seeding down and by irequent
top-dressing afterwards. It must be drained
land—artificially drained subject to stagnant
water—or the best gras-es cannot be grown,
nor can it b< brought into ;-•■; litable rotation
with the grain crops. It must be thoroughly
seeded—econcmy in grass seed "saves at the
spigot to lose at the I ang, v ia the less quantity
and poorer quality of the product. And it
must not be overstocked. The best pasture
land especially while young, can be mined by
feeding too closely and unseasonably—late in
tfutumn and early in spring time.
Hat farm improvement by this method re
quires labor and care. Autumn top dressing
comes at a busy seasun, and requires previous
attention to provide the reqtwste composted
rnuncre. Hence too many neglect it, even
though convinced of its importance and of the
frreately increased crops which follow the prac
tice felur better fa-nut 18 do not practice
economy of labor, striving to get along with as
little as possible. They have found that plenty
of help for all ihe operations oa the farm is
the ooly way tf productive and profitable farm
management.
A hint or two on getting belter grass from
our meadows and pastures next season. Let
no mild weather tempt u-, ;o allow a hoof up
on them during tlio winter. Beter boy ad
ditional forage for our stock. Where a mixture
of clover prevails we should give a top dressing
of plaster iu the eariy spring time. It bus j
bfceu found profitable lo m;x ashes with plaster !
• for this purpose, and we should never sell a !
bushel of csties from the farm, but rather buy i
instead. If intended for pasture, let the grass
get a good start before turning on stock ; the |
'product will be much larger than when fed I
closely during the whole season. Low land
pastures may bo fed early with less loss, and
especially any containing swamp grasses. We
Lave found it good policy to change pastures ,
quite frequently, benefitting both the pasture
and grazing aaimals. Farm so situated that !
they may be irrigated at small expense should '
enjoy this great means of enhanced productive- j
BOSS. Meadows should be topdassed with j
'fine manure after haying—cartaiuly whenever
the crop falls bulow two IODS pernors. If the I
gfiss land is to b? plowed up for tHlageaooth- j
er year, top-dressing in autumn will be found j
,lhe best ineaus of applying manure for the j
future product. Bat we need na£extend these 1
hints farther iu this connection —we have dwelt :
upon thorn freely heretofore.
The farmer, anxious for improvement, is
never hi a ioss for employment, upon his farm
1n win'er. Thefe are a thcu ami things he can .
do to iafctnee the com for If and thrift of his j
stock, and to increase the amount and value ol j
his manure. And it should not be forgotten
fhat the richer and better our stock are fed,
the more rapid and profitable there growth,
and the far greater value their manure.
Preparations for the krVc s -of the coming
• seed tine can- be largely nu.de—fctim -, tools,
seed-ar.d no le's important, plans ft r the work i
ean be got readiness in this time of compura- '
tive leasure. Too many are engaged off their j
forma at this season —i.i work, p ;h- pt, bring
ing in more ready money—but practically o! j
far less advantage to tin farmers j
Others idle away the winter to gromblo at bad
<ffbp3 .find the hurry of farm life during the •
summer and autumn. With the new year there :
is room for all to " torn over a new ! af " in
the Volume of progress.— Country Uenueiriun. j
TI ILicr TIME TO SOW PI ASTER —For
about a tiozeu yearn, we liuve annually tuaue
ou sowing plaster. We have had
it sowed ou grass laud iu every mouth iu the
year, except .November aud December. We
have beeu successful,
the different applications ; but have iuvariab'y
been fhlly satisfied with that sown ih the raonth
of March. Ou grass land we think three fourths
Lmshiq per acre, sown in March, of uuoro
value thah doablo the amount in M*y or
June.
Our custom is, if possible, to sow it on a
light snow,the inciting of which seems to have
a beneficial efif-et in dissolving gypsum Where
we had live acres, four yeais ago, and left a
corner to note the f fleet,it has been visible for
miles each summer since; the piece left-furnish
ing certainly a third less feed anu • T a much
paler color. I/est veer the plaster sown iu
March " worked wonders," while that of May
and June seemed to be lost entirely. Try it.—

THE PFACII CROP. —Those who are tr.ueh
interested, aud who ore competent to judge
in such matters,predict a large crop of peaches
the earning season. The winter has been moat
favorable, and the critical p riod is said to be
parsed. Due of our e<tchanges says : We are
eeffatfi that it will nay farm rs to raise fruit,
and the better the fruit the better pay.. No
patfciau ot a man s farm is quite so profitable
as a wel] cared for orchard. The crop is dull
-i certain as uny other, and requires much leas
hard wfk to raise it Farmers should give a
