In our climato, w a general rul and
so far as the desired (lisintegration and
pllverization of tlo soil is Concerned,
the later the breaking up before plant
ing the better. Our clean, heavy clay
soils, if )lowed very early", will Soon1 run
togetll-r by the heavy rains of the early
mouths of the year, and to in but little
better condition when planting-timo ar
rives than if not. But on every farm
thero are lields of stublde lads, or hields
Covered with grass ad weeds that should
bh plowed at once. Crab and cro v-foot
grass if plowed under early and not cov
ered too deep, will rot and benefit the
.oil and tho crop. if deferred until just
befurn planting it will be much better to
burn oil a heavy coating of grass than
to turn it under. At this late stage the
gr s lim;s been leached of its albmuinous
'iltters and the lo;ss by burniug will
amiiiount to little in comparison with the
greatly liproved condition of the
plowed soil. Siie experienced farmer
las said that if it were practieable to do
no ho would preft r, as a general rule, to
plo)w all his land the day before plant

In view of the probable had weather,

woi animals buusy doing the hauling of
rais, lire-wood, litter Jr stable s and
lol 1, sintrials for conposting, etc., so
that ploving may be done when the
groundl is 'ii the best condition. Deep
