Autumn Ploughing.
A correspondent sums up the more prom
inent advantages to bedirived Iroiu turniiic
over the soil in autumn, under the following
teaJi : .
1. August and September U a grod time
to turn over bound out sod land, and ma
nure and re-wed it at onee to gra, obtain
ing a crop of hay the following year.
2. October and November is an excellent
time to !reak up sod land for planting the
following spring.
3. The weather is then cool and bracing,
and team strong and hearty for the wo'k ;
while the weather in the spring is more re
laxing ami lust. "We : sPr'"S work bel"?
always hurrying, it saves time to dispatch as
much of the ploughing as possible during
the previous autumn.
. 4. Sod land, broken up late in autumn,
will be quite free from growing grass the
following spring; the roots of the late over
turned sward being so generally killed by
the immediately succeeding winter that not
much grass will really start in spring.
5. Tke frosts of winter disintegrate the
ploughed land, so that it readily crumbles in
fine particles in spring, and a deep, mellow
seed bed is ea-i!y made. The chemical chan
ges and modifications resulting from atmos
pheric aatiou during the winter, develop la
tent fertility in thejipturncd furrows, whieh,
together with the mellowing influences, ma
terially increase the crop.
6. Most kind of insects are either wholly
destroyed, or their depredations materially
checked by late fall plouiing, especially the
common white grub and the cut worm.
7. Corn stubble land may be ploughed
late in the fall, and thus be all ready for
very early sowing', tl erefore going far to
insure a good catch of grass ; the roots of
the new seed getting hold well,or being well
established, before the drouths of summer
come on.
8. A great deal of land needs deeper
ploughing than hs generally been practic
ed. Where the suUsoil is fine grained, anil
unciuour, and close, or where there is a
hard pan of good quality, deep ploughing
may at once be resorted to.with decided ad
vantage. Where the subsoil is poorer the
plowing may still be deepened by degrees,
say an inch at each bruakiog up. But in a
majority cf cases, deep ploughing may be
practiced at once indeed it may be the
rule, while shallow ploughing may be the
exception. Plough, s-ay nine, ten, eleven or
twelve inches in November. The subsoil turn
ed up will grow several shades tinker by
sprit'g.i'l'he frosts and atuiosphericinfluemfs
of winter will mellow the soil. The inorganic
elements and all latent fertility will be made
active for benoGting the crop. In spring
spread the manure and plough it in or min
gle it with the soil, say to the depth of four
inches, and you have the very best condi
tion for realizing good crops. Button
