We have strenuously urged upon our
readers the Importance Of discussing the
culture of wheat, Little, however, has
been said, compared with the Importance
Of the subject, and the season is now too
far advanced for much discussion previ-
Gus 10 the sowing Of this falls wheat.
Having talked good deal with the far
mers upon the subject, we shall give our
views, and hope by another season there
will he much more said about it. Let it
be we'll discussed in the Farmers Clubs,
and faithful reports made.


Plo,c deep, if cor no other season than
TO bring the lime TO the surface. Lime
must be had to produce good crop OF
wheat; and ifit cxis. in the sub soil, as
is generally the case in the West, deep
blowing will bring it up.


Time of fSo,Oing.-For 1T least two good
and sufficient reasons, early sewing is the
bes, on the prairles. The greater growth
will afford protection to the roots, SO that
the soil will not he blown from around
them, as is frequently the case, and then
left 10 freeze uncovered. Tie snow will
also be kept from blowing away, thereby
carly ,hawing in the spring. The early
starting Of vegetation in the spring and
subsequent freezing, as appears to US, is
what is usually called winter Killing
spring killing we think more proper.


Again, our wheat being so REGULARLY
liable to rust, i, is desirable TO have ii
mature as early in the summer as possi-
bic, so as to be out Of danger from the
hot, damp, murky days SO commoa in
midsummer, and which unquesiionably
is the cause Of rust For this reason it
should be sown as early us possible, and
not have the head SO far advanced as TO
be injured by the frosts Of winter. The
proper season Of sowing will Of course
vary with the latitude.


Corcr scith The plough.-We have new
er seen a farmer who ploughed in his
VIII at who did not say that il was much
better than narrowing. The chief advan-
tage seems to be, it roots so much deeper,
that j. is not thrown out by the spring
thaw, and then frozen.


Roll it with heavy roller Immediate
ly after sowing; again late in the fall;
and again as soon in the spring as the
ground is dry enough so as not to ad-
here TO the roller.
