Somebody has been at the trouble ;
of condensing a great deal of infor
mation about wheat growing, as fol
lows, into very small compass, and
somebody else has set it afloat with
out giving credit to the author;
1. The soil for wheat is a rich clay
loam.
2. Wheat likes a good, deep, soft
bed.
3. Clover turned under makes just
such ajsed.
4. The best seed is heavy, oily,
plumb and clean.
5. About two inches is the best
depth for sowing the seed.
6. The drill puts in the seed better
and cheaper than broadcasting.
7. From the middle of September
to the last of October is the best time
for sowing.
8. Drilled, one bushel of seed per
acre: If sown broadcast two bush
els.
9. One heavy rolling after sowing
does much good.
10. For flour, cut when the grain
begins to harden; for seed not until
it has hardened.
A gentleman from the country told
the writer a few days since that he
did not succeed in fruit raising. Upon
investigating the matter, the reason
of the failure was very evident, for
our friend had set out an orchard and
then suffered the frees to fake care of
themselves. Young trees were lorn
and twisted, others were permitted to
grow up guarded, and would bear- only
inferior fruit. There is no reason why
the farmer should not have good fruit
if only as good care be taken of the
trees as is given the corn crop. Or
chards require, more care and atten
tion now than they once did. They
are subject to more contingencies
than formerly. So are all other crops.
The spread of insect enemies and fun
gi must be combatted. The farmer
has done this with his field crops, and
the fruit grower should do the same
with his orchards. If he will culti
vate his trees as carefully as the farm
er does his crops, he will succeed.
Sot out a good orchard, take care of
it, and it will pay.—Constitution.
Farmers should carefully study the
wants of their land. One thing they
do, and that is that every crop taken
from the ground diminishes its fertil
ity, and he then should try and find
out with what his fields should be ma
nured to yield the largest return at
the least expense, and at (lie same
time to leave the land in an improved
condition. We advise farmers, as
above remarked, to study their lands
and see what they want. They will
discover that plants requiring ammo
nia, phosphoric acid, and potash, do
well on what they themselves con
tain. They will find that plants ab
sorb just as much nourishment as they
require for their development, and
leave the remainder of the strength
in the soil for their successors. Fer
tilizers should be chosen according to
their suitability to each particular
kind of soil.
We have a letter from a Walton
county farmer asking about the legis
lature ; the impeachment court ; how
much cotton will bo made ; and a rem
edy for the hard times; and how to
manage ?
We say to him, go to work. Geor
gia to-day is growing too many dead
heads to the acre, that arc to become
dead weights to her. The remedy for
hard times with you is to give up your
careless farming and your shiftless
management. Make your skies bright
by improving your system of farming,
by cultivating your fields more thor
oughly, draw in your fields, avoid all
new indebtedness, and gain wisdom
from past experience, and you will
reap rich harvests and aid in over
coming hard times.—Constitution.

The Hural Work --ays. it is not good
luck that makes good crops, but it is
good work. Some farmers always
have good crops, good stock, and get
good prices. It is because whatever
they put their hands to, they do well.
They have clean fields, good fences
and do good plowing, cultivating and
seeding. They farm with brains as
well as hands. If other farmers would
imitate their example, they would
have better crops. Success does not
depend so mudvupon good luck as it
does upon good work.
Additions should be made to the
manure pile on every possible occa
sion. The amount of fertilizing ma
terial regulates the farmer's prosper
ity-
If the farmer will bring all his skill,
intelligence and industry into the work
his vocation is a safe and sure one.

tilation is necessary for their health.
