They were well fed and appeared to be in good health, and I could not account for their dying. Two were found dead, and tho third was dis covered in a stupid state, and died within three hours' time Upon examination of the bogs, there was no blood tj be found, but a large quantity of water ran from each, and the veins leadiug from tho heart were filled with water of yellowish cast. The heart, when cut open, was as clean and clear of blood as though rinsed out. I have since discovered, to my entire sa tisfaction, that the person to whom the watering of the hogs was committed, en tirely neglected his duty, and am confident they died from the want of proper water ing.

Spring Wheat Our farmers in looking forward to the ap proaching spring, and contemplating how j "'V maV beM occnPy ,heir land- mav f,nd ' profitable to read ihe following, which we take from the Kural AVic Yorker : Minus Adams, of East Bloomfield, has raised spring wheat for sixteen years. He says t "Last year, owing to the backward season, 1 sowed on the 25th of April, not fin ishing until the fiih of May. I procured four bushels of the Fife wheat but it was very f-jul, not better than three bushels of pure seed. After heading out I noticed it had a peculiar appearance, so much resembling Soule's wheat as to be called such by all who saw it. It promised to yield well, and be earlier than the Italian irrowin? beside it. and I therefore took the trouble of weed.ng all the ; SeeJs 001 "T f's" huul'1 be oats and barley from it before cutting.

It is a bearded wheat, resembling the Mediterranean wheat when growing and in the berry.

It is scarcely necessary we should add, nse none but clean seej. in many parts of ihis country farmers will do well to manure their corn ground with barnyard manure in the spring.and use guano and superphosphate of lime in the fall for their wheat, thus making more corn and more wheat Corn ground should be plowed in this month, and where the soil is not very light deeply suhsoiled. The oats ground should also be prepared and sown as soon as the weather will permit,osring from two to three bushels per aete. After harrowing tbe ground should be rolled, as should mowing and pas ture land. When mowing fields are stony.the stones should be carefully picked before roll ing, and while the ground is comparatively bare of grass. Plaster should be sown early this month, so as to have the full benefit of the spring rains. When guano is usrd as a top dressing, it should be in connection with plaster, or some other substance that will fix the ammonia. Top dress winter grain which was not manured last fall.
