It consists in thor ough plowing the ground one way, then cross plowing or plowing on a level with scooter plows—laying the furrows about every twelve Inches or less so that they will be left open.— Then sow the seed with care—going over at least twice—and cover by drag ging a barrow or brush crosswise the furrows. This plan puts tbe grain In drills almost as effectually as if sown with a drilling machine, and leaves the rows slightly below the general leve|. In the case of oats this greatly lessens the danger of damage by Winter freez ing. The fertlliaers may be sown in the same way. A Tennessee farmer says: **‘T have tested this remedy.
