Stahl, in Amorican Agriculturist. “‘The early bird catches the worm,” as a general rule the early farmer makes the money. The one who has his oats first sown, his potatoes first planted, his ground first ready for corn, his garden vegetables first in properly prepared in its season, is the farmer who raises the largest crops and makes the most money; and with good reason. He drives his work inatead of being driven by 1t, and has time for doing it well. His products being early sell for better prices. Early vegetables, early poultry, early lambs and calves, always command the highest figures. His corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, vegetubles, ete., huve the entire season | for growing and maturing. But this early work requires ealier planting and | preparation. and field operations begin this month. Further north a good deal may be done |\ even now. Let us enumerate, by way of remnder, some of the many things to| be done or thought about before the time comes for action: Corn stubble may be speedily broken down while yet frozen, by dragging over the field a long pole with a horse hitched to each end. They may be hauled to the field over the ground while yet frozen, and no ruts will be made by "the wagon wheels. Ploughs and harrows may be re- paired at home and taken to the shop to | be sharpensd. Harness way be cleaned | and oiled; fields laid off into ‘‘lands” for ploughing; washouts may be filled; seed | corn shelled, and seed oats well cleaned | in the barn while it is yet cold and stormy outside. Drags, rollers, cultivators and seeders may be looked after and got ready for use. Such little tkings as whiffle- trees, chains, oil cans, and water jugs should be gathered and stored where they can he reachod at once. Npades, shovels, hoes, forks, etc., should be brightened, sharpened and repaired, if in need of it, The mow may be filled from the haystacks. The summer’s supply of ‘woodshould, by all means, be cutand stored under cover. Rails, posts, or boards for repairing fences may be hauled to their places, and the wood lot cleared up. The farm should be well supplied with gates, and now is a good time to meke and hanz them, or have them ready for hanging Set the ash leach; smoke and store away | the year'ssupply of pork; strengthen water fences and gates for the spring freshet. Pile and burn rubbish, and haul out the chip dirt. Repair the fences blown down by winds or torn down by stock. Look after the well aud pump, and clean the cistern ready for the spring rains, Remove garbage thoroughly from the cellar, Clean out the pouitry-house and have new nests made, Have the yard tidied up. Pry or blow out stumps and clear off new ground ready for the plough; take out or bury large stones. Clean off the garden; take the dead canes out of currants, gooseberries, rasp- berries and blackberries; trim the grape vines; cart manure on the ground; sturt early vegetables in het beds; select seeds and buy any needed: select potaties for planting; and look after’the agparagas and strawberry beds. Grub out orchard trees that the winter has killed; prune and pile and burn limbs removed; cover with ‘wax any wounds made by rabbits or mice. Scrub down the orchard trees with suds from the week's washing. Scale the dead bark off of old trees Manure the soil. Look after the bees. Trim osage | orange hedges and burn the brush. See igs. p ‘}u short, do spring work at the earliest ossible moment, and endeavor to do it a ittle earlier than ever before. There will be plenty of work left when spring does come, The more time, the more thorough preparation of soil for crops; and the more thorough its preparation the | better the crops. Much time may besaved have to hunt whiffletrees, repair harness and implements, have ploughs sharpened, or go toborrow in the spring—have everything ready, POTASH.
