established fact that the small grains rc^ (piire to be planted at a depth no lesV than jone inch nor more than two inches to insure germination and growth. If planted deeper, the seeds do not nil grow: and if less than one inch deep, they are liable to be exposed to the depredation of. birds, fowls or vermin, or to become desicated, and the germ thereby killed. Kxperxmonts and experience have both shown that* (lie seeds of all the cereals grow the most readily and surely at an avei'age, depth of 'one and a half inches.' In order to insure this depth of planting, grain drills or plows have to be resorted to bnt it is very difficult to set a plow or gang of plows for so j-shallow a furrow, and in consequence, grain drills, if well made and of proper construction, arc tlie only reliable means for planting at a uniform depth. The drill al e.')ver.= ererv kernel, giving birds and vermin no chanca for depredations, and, of course, requiring less seed to bo sown.—

Indeed, most farmers who use drills, say the saving in seed pays the cost of drilling, "Furthermore, the seed is left in the. bottom of parallel furrows, and a small ridge I Kis thrown up between that is worked by the action of the frosts of winter over the I roots'of the grain, thus preventing winterkilling.
