subject more fully lully on sowing solving seed cul cui culture tareo tarco irrigation and other nia matter tyvr J as a the season bd advances vances PREPARING grou ground D the ground should always fe te the first consideration therefore fore bore collect all the goot root rotten manure that thai can be obtained and take it on when the ground la Is dry or which Is better when it Is well frozen lu in lots the creates portion should always be put on the highest part party as the low ground always receives more than its due share of nutriment by the action of water which carries a portion of manure ac S c from the higher to the lower places placed a i the time of preparing ground for sowing eed seed must pe pend p nd on circumstances however one rule may be lie laid down as universal namely never plow a lot until the ground will crumble crombie freely treely atter after the plow it la Is far better to crop ground a little late than too ca cat ly ivor ivon or N hen in a wet state SPREADING manure tho rho large pieces should be well broken and every spot be regularly covered when anen manure Is plowed into the tie ground in large lumps it la Is of tittle little use to the cap during that season instead of decomposing and giving sit git ing nutriment to the plants it has hag idaia a tendency to keep the ground loose and my dry if it there Is any part of the lot where tho the ground Is is too high hinh for tor the water to pass pasi freely it should be lic leveled before plowing so that every part pirt part can receive its due i 1 of water PLOWING Plow deep jeep while sla sIn gards sleepy sleep as poor richard mchard says Is a good old adage which should always be bb born in mind both la in plowing or digging the ground should always be plowed 6 or 8 inches deep at least leasty and if a foot the better it should be recollected that vegetable root roots always go downwards in search of nutriment and the dee deeper per they can pen penetrate etrata the better in lif this dry climate many lots of good ground yle yie meagre crops owing to the bad manner of plowing when the earth Is not plowed above 3 or 4 inches deep v vegetables ege tables cannot pene penetrate 1 thor ihor wonted depth and when the dry weather comes cornea they cease ti t grows grow and all the water that can be applied Is 13 of but little use when the soil below the shallow furrow Is hard because it then does not penetrate deeper than the leow i low has removed the soil and often washes away the richness that may be near the surface plowing lots always one on way ay lg Is a bad sy temy temp for it has a tendency to carry too great a portion of earth on the theo outside in a fridge which does not nat receive the alle water freely whilst the middle loses a portion of eaith and becomes barj bard ilisan it Is an excellent system to crog plow avery every year that isy iss Is lengthwise one season and ara crosswise the next nest this method bas has the effat of cutting up vp any pieces cf f hard bard ground that have not been removed n season VALLEY GARDENER aab GAB dener DENEn we are much pleased to find here and there lone ione one who advocates the soil murtilla our
