i Frai Work for ' April, it American Agriculturist.! PEWtasy be made profitable " whrite the jpreen pods can be sold in the market and the straw eat for fodder. As nearly all oar native grown seed is halt spoiled by the weevil, seed from Canada, or other localities free from it, should be procured. Sowiico Clover. Krom considerable experience the writer prefers to delay sowing clover until the ground has become settled and the weather warm. A warm spell earlier may start the seed and a strong frost afterwards kill the young germs. Sheep. Lambs and sheep intended for sale should be poshed as fast as possible with safety. But most haste in this respect often secures least speed. Ewes that have raised lambs and that are to be sold, should be fed so as to be pat of the way by June. Oats From 50 to 0 bushels of oats should be the least satisfactory yield, and the aim should be to have the ground in a condition to produce this instead of the 23 or 3 which is now a usual harvest. The whole secret is in the fertilizing of the soil. Brood Makes. As foaling approaches. brood mares should be turned into a looee box. The extra exercise is beneficial and they rest more at ease. Their work should be lightened. The most gentle treatment should be exercised; the temper of the colt often depends upon this. Pios. Pork is lookiDg up, and pigs are worth more than they were a few months ago. While prices are low, the cost of feeding should be reduced. Pigs can be kept most cheaply npon grass in summer, and an orchard is a good place for them : they will do service in destroying insects. Hakrowika Winter Gbaih is a practice now generally adopted, and there are many good narrows made especially tor tms pur pose, with teeth that slope backwards, or that may be reversed for ordinary work. Harrowing after applying fertilizers or sow ing grass or clover seed is aouoiy useiui. Cultivating Small Grains. The practice of cultivating smalf grains, oats, barley. wheat, and peas, will become general as soon as the advantages are wed understood. The cultivator or horse-hoe made for this purpose may be used for corn, roots and potatoes, as well as for the small grains. Flax. This crop promises to become a staple. East as well as West, as flax manufac taring is becoming established. Low, moist ground, newly cleared swamp or meadow land suits flax exactly. In the West, fresh prairie is suitable, one bushel of seed per acre should be sown this month. Raising Calves To purchase improved stock, req aires much money. Bat the same result may be gained by keeping a well selected bull and raising the heifer calves with care. Calves will thrive well when tausht to drink from the pail the third day. Ii is well for them to suck the cow and soft en the udder for three or four days. Plowing fob Mangels ob Beets. Mangels and sugar beets should be sown next month. Hat the ground needs such thorough prepar ation that this worK should be begun in April. A corn or potato stubble may be chosen, manure spread and plowed in and the grouDd harrowed and rolled it needed, until perfectly mellow. Two plowines are advisable the first deen, if the soil is stiff. Uari.ev should not be considered as merely a material for brewing. There is no better grain tor horses, and barley-meal with corn or potatoes is excellent for cows or pigs. The two rowed variety yields more than the ' six -rowed, bnt the six-rowed brings 10 cents more from the malsters. Two-rowed Is the better for fodder purposes also. For a good yield of barley the soil must be fine and rich, otherwise oats should be sown. Soft and Hard Wheats. The millers are generally opposed to what they call "soft wheats," and refass to pay full price for them. This may be a just discrimination. because hard wheats are profitable to them. Bat it may be better to grow 30 bushels per acre or sort wheats I which is generally more prolific than the bard varieties) at 60 cents a bushel, than M basnets or hard at o cents. Bo that the soft, proline Kinds may ba more profitable and millers and farmers both be satisfied. Carrots and Parsnips, as held crops, are not to be recommended, unless for sale, when we can grow sugar-bee ta and many varieties of mangels with half the trouble of cultivating and harvesting, if carrots are desired by dairymen for special purposes, they might try as a substitute, the yellow or orange-globe or eeg shaped mangels, the red beets or the early blood turnip beets which come in for early fall and winter feeding. Srsiso Wheat should be sown as early as possible, and so should oats. These grains need a loDg season to develop their full growth. Some new varieties of wheat are very promising, and should be tried in a small way as a test. No one should "risk his whole crop on any new and untried variety. As wheat does not mix in the tield, a new variety may be tried in a strip with other kinds, without risk of mixing the varieties. Cows. There is no better feed as a steady diet for cows, than grass; but there may be cases in which some stimulating food may be used with benefit. Eealy grass is not healthful, being immature and too laxative. It would be better to follow the old English practice in this respect, and not turn cows to grata until May. May-day is an ancient farmer's holiday on this account in England, nd we might well follow their practice. This, of course, refers to localities with the same seasons earlier at the South, and even later at the far North. Horses. As the coat begins to loosen, the skin is often Irritable. This may be corrected by giving in the food daily one ounce of an equal mixture of sulphur and cream of tartar for a few days. Good grooming with a soft brush and a blnnt curry-comb should not be neglected. If the gams are swollen, rub them with a corn-cob dipped in powdered borax. Cleanliness is a great preventive of disease. As the weather becomes warmer, more oats, rye, or barley, and less corn may be fed. An occasional feed of cat rata-bagas will be vjeful. Potatoes. Experience with the Colorado beetle, should prompt the early planting of . potatoes; also abundant manuring and good - preparation of the soil. The latter often doubles the crop. An extra 100 bushels of potatoes per acre u well worth working for. It does not pay to plant large seed. Small, well-ripened seed will be the most profitable when its cost is considered. After much observation, the writer finds no difference in the crop from small and large seed. Of course there is a limit, and potatoes as small as hickory nuts are not referred to. Top Dressing An early top-dressing of artificial manure npon fall grain and grass fields is often of the greatest advantage. The ground is now moist and mellow, and the soluble fertilizsrs are at once ready to be utilized. We bare seen the effect in the cbaDged color of the foliage In 12 hoars after an application, when a gentle shower has fallen immediately afterwards. If the fertilizer can be sown daring a shower so much the better, otherwise we choose the afternoon for the work, so tbat the dew of the night may act as a rapid solvent. What Fertilizers to Use. For grass, 150 pounds of rectified Peruvian guano per acre is often useful, and so may be the same quantity of complete grass manures made lor this purpose. Those who can not procure these easily, can use 100 penndsof gypsum per acre, with 250 pounds of fine bone dust and as many wood ashes as possible up to 40 Jsoshela per acre. The German potash salts

are a good substitute for ashes. For grain ;

tne prepared complete eiuiuen,.i x ciavian guano, bone dust, or superphosphate of lime may be used. Wood ashes never come amis i for any crop. Caution. Great damage may be done by using concentrated fertilizers in close contact with seed or very young plants. A teasDOonfnl of such a fertilizer dropped up on a seed or young sprouted grain will kill the germ, or the tender sprout or "growing point" of the plant. Any concentrated fertilizer should be well mixed with the soil or scattered very thinly over the surface, and unless it is raining at the time, should never be sown upon a growing crop while the leaves are wet. Common sense will guide a thoughtful man when he knows that most of these fertilizers are eitner caustic or corrosive, excepting gypsum, which is harmless. . . Fob per Crops. No farm where animals are kept can be profitably worked without a wo vision for some green loader, sacn as oats. oats and peas mixed, oats and barley mixed, or other crops to be sown later, .Karitness la indispensable, and the first work of this month should be to prepare the ground and sow Beed for loader. The leanest Kind of oats should be chosen; New Brunswick, Ex celsior, and Probsteier oats have a good stalk and leaf, and answer well for this purpose. But two crops can be grown at once and a double yield secured by sowing two kinds of seeds. Thus i bushels each of oats and Canada peas sown together, will yield as much fodder on good soil on one acre as the same seed sown separately on two acres. So with oats and barley mixed, and other mixtares which should be studied and experimented upon. The Coming Wheat Crop. (From the Prairie Farmer. Reports from every point in the wheat growing region in the West and Northwest show the condition and prospect of the grow ing crop in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Missouri in detail. by counties and districts. With regard to the winter wheat crop the reports, almost without exception, are favorable, the present fine condition of the crop being largely attributed to the snows of the past winter, which afforded complete pro tection. Urom Ohio somewhat in creased acreage is reported, with most encouraging prospects. Ia a comparatively few counties tnere is reported some nipping of the plant Dy the late cold snap, ana some apprehensions are expressed as to the effect of the March frosts, but the best advices indicate that an increase of about 10 per cent. is promised, the yield for the year being estimated at 30,000,000 bushels, against 27,000,000 bushels last year. The prospect in Kentucky is reported encouraging, and a fair increase in the yield on last year is confidently expected. All reports from Indiana go to show the excellent condition of the crop. The acreage seems somewhat increased on the whole, while the prospect in yield is estimated as high at 25 per cent, over that of last year, though some apprehensions are expressed as to the effect of the present cold snap. The reports from Michigan are that the prospects are better than last year, and an increased yield is expected. Missouri reports are to the effdet that the prospect is better than a year ago, and tbat the yield promises to exceed that of last year. The better estimate as to Nebraska is that the acreage of winter wheat is fully 25 per cent, greater than last year, and that 20 per cent. more spring wheat will bs sown. The condition of the winter wheat crop generally is reported favorable. In Kansas the acreage is reported to be about equal to that of last year, while the condition of the crop is far more promising, the prospect being absve the average. Michigan reports show the crop to be in good condition generally throughout the State, with slightly reduced acreage in some localities, estimated as high as 20 or 25 per cent. And from other regions in the winter wheat region the prospects are gererally reported above the average. The chief question, and one which has been considerably agitated, as to the spring wheat crop, has been as to the seed supply. There bas been division both as to whether the lighter wheat of last year, the berry of which was shriveled, will germinate; and - whether if it germinates it will yield a good crop. As to the question of germination, there would seem to be small room for doubt in view of the results of the experiments made in Chicago, showing tbat in some instances 93 per cent, of the blighted berries germinated, while in no instance was the percentage less than 68. The prevailing opinion among the wheat men of this city is that not mors than 5 per cent, of the blighted berries will fail to germinate; and that with that muchjincrease in the sowing there need be no apprehension of any failure on account nf the seed. In Iowa there seems to be little apprehension as to seed wheat, and it is reported tbat by screening a sufficient supply of good seed grain can be obtained. A Diet of Fruit and Vegetables. All trustworthy hygienists and medical authorities are unanimous in recommending fruits and vegetables as the best and most appropriate food for this season, and the eatiog of much meat, rich gravies, etc., as carefully to be abstained from. And yet there is not one person in 10 who carefully and intelligently follows this advice. Many a person who is now nervous and shaky and oat of sorts would have strength and elas ticity of spirits and improved health if less meats ana mucn more iruits were eaten. Depend on it, a large proportion of the physical ills of life come from too mnch eating. There is but little danger of not eating enough. The trouble with nine tenths of ailing and chronically complaining people is injudicious and intemperate eating. Leave off eating so much meat and greasy compounds of rich pastry, and try a simple diet for a time, and, our vord for it, you win soon experience a great and mar velous change come over the spirit of your areams. An Interesting Iluinor. Quebec Mercary.l Whispers from Ottawa assign a very inter esting reason for tbe rumored contemplated visit of tbe Princess Louise to her royal mother. The proverbial climatic influence of Canada and especially of this Province, is said to have already had a gratifying eitect npon the health of her royal highness the vicereine.
