FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Situate your buildings otk an eminence, and never in a hollow. The man who lets his work drive him, if he can help it, is a slave. Have the courage to thin your fruit. You will lose nothing, but will gain. Do you know where things needed in spring work are? It will save you time to find out now. A smoking manure pile means loss of ammonia. Open up the pile, or better cart it to the land. < Don't cultivate any more land than you absolutely have to, which means better cultivation and less land. Make a si udy of what will be best for the road before you try to improve it. Sometimes one of the worst things is to build a road up in the center. Tn tests with Irish potatoes, deep planting with level culture yielded 254 pusbels per acre, and shallow planting with hill culture gave a yield of 224 bushels. So long as sawdust remains on top of the ground it is all right as a mulch for strawberries, but if Jt gets into the ground it may sour and be injurious.— Western Plowman.
