A C< trep< rrdent SUIT* up the T ore promi r>ent advatilg< a t> be detivc-d fn-tn 1 oter th<* eu'l in A'l'amn, tindnr the Mlowi it 1 heads : 1. August and September is a good time to turn over bound out end land, and tnani r- i and re--eed it at once to gras, obtaining a crop of hay the billowing tear. 2 October and November it an excelt n' titue to break up sod iand for planting the following spring. 3. The weather is then cool and bracing, ! and the team strong and hearty for the work; I while the weather in the spring is more re laxing and team less able ; a: d spring wt rk bo ng always hurrying, it saves time to d. - patch as much of the plowing as posaible du ring the previous autumn. 4. Sod land, broken tip late in autumn,* -li be quite free from growing grass the following spring ; the roots of the late over-turned sward hemg so generally killed by the im mediately succeeding winter that not much j gras wtl readily start in spring. 5. The frosts < f winter disintc-rgrsfe the; p lowed land, so that it readily crumbles in : fine panicles in sp ring, and a deep, mellow seed bed i easily made. The chemical changes and modifi. at ions resulting from at mospheric ac i n during the winter, "develop latent fertility in the upturned furrows,wh' :' l , together with lie mellowing influences, ma terially increase the crop. G Most kinds of insects are either whol y destroyed. r their depredations materia lv chtcked, by la'r fait plowing, especially the common white giub • r.d the cut worm. 7.

Where the siibsi ii is fine grain d. aid unctuous,and close, or wh.ru il.re is a bard ;an of good quality. de-j t!• wing n.ay lv at tnce resort ed to, with decided advantage. Where the subsoil is ps-rrr, the plowing may still be advanUgeou!v deepened bv degrees, say an inch at each new breaking up. But in by far a majority of casea. deep plowing may be practiced at once—indeed it may be the BI LE with safety while h#llow plowing may be tiie EXCEPTION. Plow, say nine ten, eleven or twelve inches in November The subsoil turned up will grow several shades darker bv spring. The frosts and atmospheric Influ ei ces of winter will mellow the soil. The irioiganic dements and all latent fertility will be made more active for benefitting the crop. In spring, spread the manure and plow it in or otherwise work it in or mingle it with the soil to the depth,ay of four inch or a litfle more or less, and you have the very best attainable condition for realising g.iodcrois. Deeper plowing may thus he practiced than would at all time be safe or expedient, if the plowing is delayed till aprmg. GLEANINGS. Th# Chinese are said to have fed thtir stock on cotton seed mesl for many centuries past. A kind of cat'le ceuu taken in Texas gives, In r> uod number-, five million head.

To curv gapes in chickens, mix one half a teaspooitful of common sulphur with a little corn meal ; wet it with wetter so as to make ' a thick patte, and force it down the chickens' throats. A farmer named Patkhurst, in Fayette! Co., lowa, broke hi* arm in the spring, when ' abut commencing wheat sowing. His neigh - j bors made a "'bee" for h s benefit, and put in j 50 acres in a single day.
