When this is the case, the first rain . H| that falia covers up the seeds, and tliev ' >. are then protected from the rigid weather j h tfyat m^y. follow, and u ready to receive , Pi the genial warmth of spring to bring it S| uo.

But il the I C seed sown in January have a sutlicient hi covering t? protect the germs, as they ' pi generally have, they are exempt from ! c, danger by frost. j 'p The Southern Farmer cites the follow 1 ,, iug, to prove lite safety and superior ad- m vaatage of early sowing : Chie has only 1 vi to observe the course of nature in t lie case .?* of volunteer clover. After a clover follow, f>| the seed near the surface will c me up during the fall, but iti consequi . ne O' the c, alternate freezing and thtwing, t' young w plants are thrown out of the g'outul, and few of them survive till spring. Other i seed, wiih * little deeper covering of earth, will have their vegetatipn retarded till the warm weather of Febuary and March. Volunteer clover, front se'-d that j ? has lain in the ground all winter, is scarcely ever known to fad. It is proof ? against late frosts, and the parching droughts of summer. Should not this fact teach farmets a lesson in a ntatter, the -. success of which depends on so many i c contingencies ? The same general rules hold good, iu J regard to grass seeds, such as timothy. herds gras<, orchard grass, &o.. when de signed for grazing. To lay down a titea- | dow requires altogether a different tieat ment, and is not to be considered in the jj present connection. \N e have succeeded j verv well in sowing grass seed with the 1 H earliest seeding of wheat, say not later , ? than the middle of Octob.-r. The plants ^ being of the structure as wheat, will then have time to acquire strength of root stif- -i ficietit to withstand the alteration of free- I i zing and 'hawing.

This grass thrives much better ' . on cold moist s is than any other, wlielh er highland or lowland. Timothy grows " well, even in our climate, on any good | improved land. Orchard grass onlv sue, i I1 ceeds in very rich soils, and then it affords j an abundance of the best grazing.

The general practice is to dig ' the manure in, within a diameter of six 1 feet, having the body for the centre. The tree takes its food froiu. the young root- 1 lets, whose mouths extend just as far on ^ every side, as the branches of the trees; j hence, this manure applied close to the I laxly of the tree, is not where the roots j it up ; and, of course, but little of its value j is absorbed by the trae. If you doubt it, ( w just try the experiment on two trees.? ' h Serve the ono as al?ovo named, and the other as follows, viz : Make a circle around the tree having, .for its outline the radius formed ?Rfflhfcl!l*?r1i>tiiiriinr i.r .noiia. a.. _ p ? '"S on the inner side of dim circle h trench }' two feet wide, hiuI one foot deep; mix , 11 well rotted manure half and half with the 11 beat of die soil,. of earth dug out of the trench, and fill the trench with it; then I1 replace the turf, and wheel away the re ? fuse, or extra earth : rake clean and 1 smooth ; you will have a good growth of ^ tree*; your fruit large and more fair, and j no unsightly or unnatural hillock or s mound nro-ind the laxly of the tree.
