SOWING SHEDS...

This isoncof the most im#,ortant gar- den operations. Seeds fo germinate well, require light, heat, air and moist- ure, “They should be sown when the) ground is mellow and fine, and if pos-| sible, before a gentle rain; and the soil should be rolied or gently pressed upon tie seed, after sowing. The freshest seeds of some varieties often fail from improper management in sowing. When sown too early, while the ground is wet, they are apt to rot. When sown too shallow, in a dry time, there my not be sufficient moisture to sprout them, or they may be destroyed by dry and hot weather, after they have germinated. Insects may destroy the plants before or a3 soon as they appear out of the ground. Pcwerful manures such as hen dung, guano, and ehemical manures, if under powerful fermen- tation will frequently,..destroy tho vitality of seeds, and “sometimes kilk{ the tender plants; °C aints tre- quently made that beeds spwn) are not gooi, may quite as often be attributed to other causes as to the quality of the seeds.

The seeds must be firmly fixed in the soil, and pressed by. the ‘earth in every part, inorder to retain moistare sufficieat to encourage vege- tation; but NE eee not be so deep- ly buried as to be deprived of air, or to to have their ascending shoots impeded

‘seeds should be sown in fresh dug soil,; that they may have the benefit of the moisture within ; but they should never be put in when the soil is really wet,

asx the ground will- bake and the seeds},

perish, Moist’ weather in spring or summer is excellent for putting in seeds presided the ground is mellow. Just

efore a light rain is the best possible time for sowing most seeds. When the seeds are planted, the carth should be usually pressed upon them with a roller, or by treading with the feet in the case of large seeds, or by smoothing the sur- face with the back of a spade, or by walking over them on a board, for the smaller kinds. Light must be excluded until the roots can derive nourishment from the soil. When they come up, keep them free from weeds, and thin a» girected.

-Prorectixa Suger.—A writer in the Farmer's Home Journal gives bis me- thod for protecting sheep against dogs, which is the same as that eifectually practiced by a friend of ours in the early settlement of one of the Western States. Hesays: I have kept a flock of sheep several years, varying from one to two thousand head, and for the last eight years have not lost a sheep killed by dogs. I keep my sheep yaru- ed nights;’and occassionally, varying from once in’ two weeks to once a month, I go out at bédtime and place} around the outside of the pen, bits of meat containing strychinine, which ] take up again early in the morning, if not eaten in the night. Result—im- munity from dogs, and an ‘old well on the farm has received a layer of dogs and a layer of dirt until it is about full. I have never killed a man'sdog through malice, or anywhere except on my own premises and in protection of my.own property, and have not, to. my, know- edge, ieceiving any injury in retali-) ation for the death of any dog. The plan is just and right, and every fair minded man must acknowledge it. Every person in the vicinity! who

chances to be the owner of a dog, ‘stray-]

ed or stolen,’ concludes at once that he has found a resting place in Cotton’s old well, and will never believe any- thing else. I never report dogs buried before sunrise.

The amount of pieces of coal and burnt limestone the fowls find to eat in the coal ashea is very great, and we have noticed that hens which have free access to an ash heap are always in
