Perusing an editorial on the above subject, In a recent number of the Wavk, has caused me to study a little. Yes we, 1 was going to say plow, nay, turn over allghtly too much surface soil for so of ur farms little returns. Two-thirof a crop, or j tcld, shall I say i'i'cui tun to fifteen bushels of wheat per aero according to the quality of land. Wheat aud Oats has been our crop for thirty years. The soil needs a chango. Peas drilled in In every third furrow and cultivated like corn gives a change, or peas aud oats mixed, cut for feed wheu ene-tbir- d I. coming In bloom, then allowed to grow again until about one foot high, then put the sulky to work and plow under eight or nine Inches deep makes s good change. Wheat after this would give a return of threefold., Think of ltl Three crops for one plowing, planting, watering and harvesting. Lavs witnessed land, myself, that only yielded teu bushels per acre from this runlous system of wheat after wheat fer years. After ths trial wheat tnrued ont thirty bushels per acre. Ons parcel of land was planted with peas the other summer-falloweThe pea land deuoted to the very furrow having the advantage of peas over summer-falloIn this dry country the soil needs some protection from the scorching rays of the sun. A thorough farmer In the States would Mver thkiklng of leavlug the soil without some protection from the heat of summer. We are drifting Into a very slovenly way of farming and It Is now time for us to make a reformation in this line of business. What Is a fair sample of tins graio wo raise! Nearly refuse. It Is made up of peas, cockle, weeds and a little grain. Any one will be convinced that these statements are mesrly facts It they will ouly visit ur store blue and examlue the grain for themselves. It Is my belief that of our gralu would not sell lu s foreign market. A farmer here w ho tries to keep his land clean, works to a disadvantage because the neighboring farm is foul and the wind aud other agencies scatter these foreign seeds from one piece of land to auether, making it almost impossible to keep the weeds down. Let us turn over a uew leaf ; put lu less acres, change our land to some other crop or even summer-- f allow w iU be better than a straw crop evey year. Twenty acres well tended will yield a letter and a larger crop than forty acres that is skimmed over as our farmers are doing at the present time. Flow deep while sluggards sleep and you will have grain to sell and to keep was one of Benjamin Franklin's maxims and is a good motto for the farmers to follow.

If the second crop of clovi r is wanted for seed after It is taken off, apply the manure and return the clovt r haulm evenly over the ground, without it Is wanted for an absorbent in the stables. In tins spring as soon as the ground is dry enough, plow it at a depth of 8 or 0 inches, turning the clover well under. Follow with harrow and plank drag or roller heforf the ground dries enough to make It cloddy, Continne the use of harrow and drag until you have a finely pulverised seed bed. I (Irmly believe the old savthe early bird catches the ing that worm will hold good in the culture of potatoes. Therefore I would plant both early and late varieties as soon as the ground will permit to be worked in good condition. We are not as apt to be troubled with drought early, as later, neither w ill the bugs do as much damage ou early planting as on later, and the crops will mature and give you more time for preparing the ground for wheat. Mark the ground out 33 inches wide and 7 inches deep if to be planted in drills or 33 to 36 inches each wav if planted in hills. Now we are ready for the seed, which should have been selected at the time of digging, taking from the best hills those of medium to large in size and perfect specimens. The seed to be the best, should be kept lc a cool place, so they will not have sprouted, as the first sprout gives the strongest plant, and s good, strong, healthy plant is half the battle. Cut the seed.tw o eyes In a piece, or if the ground has been prepared the best and you w ill continue the best cultivation, yon may safely cut to one eye, thereby save a considerable amount of seed. If cut to one eye be sure and hare an equal amount of pulp on each piece, cutting to the center of the potato each time. Drop the seed one piece every 13 Inches or three pieces if in hills, covering 4 inches deep. In a week's time or less after planting, take a light harrow or weeder and run over the field to kill any w eeds which may have started. As soon as the potatoes are up well, cultivate thoroughly aud deep the first time, aud follow with ahailower cultivation each time and ofteu enough to keep all weeds out, and especially cultivate as soon after each rain as the ground will permit. By cultivating after each rain you will break the pores in the ground and retain a considerable amount of moisture, which you wilt lose if you omit to allr the ground after each rain. Keep up the slmllow cultivation as long as the tops will permit you between the rows without Injury to th:m. The best timo to dig and store the potatoes is in a dry time. If the weather is suitable as soon as the tops era all dead, I would proceed to dig aud store away, or if the price suits, to sell direct from the fluid, which will save much work and the potatoes will be the better for the less handling. For digging I would use the fork or hook, letting the potatoes lie in ths stiu until they become dry.

The petitioner further states that after the divorce was granted his former wife, one of the defendants was married to O. W.
