Farmer A hos sown in the spring, oud bod ex- collent success, whilo Farmer B failod of o stand ; end go it is for nll casons of tho year, failures and success lic along the pothway. To tho prac- tival farmer tho success 8 plsin, for thon the conditions of molsture and warmth wero favora- ble, end, on the other houd, unfaevorable. In tlus part of tho country, the bost time for seed- fug is aftor the ground has boen frozen and u light euow has fallen, Tho snow in uscful as showing how tha aced has beon distributed, and the first thaw carries tho secd to tho molst earth, and it becomes jmbedded futo it, and, on the approach of warm woather, is sore to grow. Tu short, I have never known a feihuo whon thus gown. Tor this purposo, tho land ehonld Do propared iu tho fall, barrowod and rolled. At il other sensons thero ia more or less of riek, s the senson may not Lo g0 fayorable.

Somo argua that eny timo during tho winter will do equally well; but &uch isnot tho fact, onud the botter time 15 early in tho xeason, along with the firet light falls of enow.

Tho Beeding was & gort of necessity, as tho lagd was g0 dry tho proceding fall that it conld not bo put in order, and tho spring's raips bad to bo wafted for. The same condition is now present, and I wich to prepara o large amount of land for soedivg; but thet is ont of the quostion, unless we havo & good gosking rali to make plowing possiblo. Bomo little of thia land can be propared with tho hayrow and yoller; but I fear that tho story of last. apriufi will bave to Lo repested, and the chances talon on & wet spring, No set of fixed rales cun Lo wdbored to, for things must ba ta- ken @ thoy aro; yet we nwst scloct iho best time, and talie ndvantage of it whon possible to do so.
