for a reason tor their faith you will
receive a different answer from al
most every advocate of each sys
tem. Scarcely any two advocates
of shallow plowing will reason in
the same way to support or sustain
their position, and the same thing
may be said of the ad vocate of deep
plowing
The simple fact that there is a

exactly the same circumstances,

should be plowed to produce the ,
same crop, suggests the idea that '
there is a lack of Information upou
this important yet very common
subject.
The additional fact that the ad
vocate of shallowjplowing, as well
M those wlio believe in plowing
deep,- differ materially as to the
reasons entertained for the support
of their theories or practice is still
more suggestive of ignorance upon
ft subject that, above all others,
thottld be well understood by all
(MMtical ajfraultariet. Much of

; tins great uiversiiy 01 opinion may
in part be Jccounted for upon ilie
' supposition that the foils cultivated
i by different parlies, though appar-
j ently alike are still essentially dif
ferent in some important particulars,
and that consequently the plowing
of them to the same depth, under
the same condition as to season and
moisture, will be followed by dif-

I me,lt's reflection, recognize, and
J w hich has more to do with the
jerent farmers from deep plowing
.
than any and all others. A disre-
! gard of 'this law or fact by all par
, ties, or a failure to take it into
account in the practical operations
on the farm will more fully account
I for the different experiences and
consequent different opinions and
theories entertained by different
farmers upon the subject of deep
or shallow plowing.
The law or fact we refer to is j
this, that no soil, however rich, or ;
however full of the ingredients nec
essary to the production of any
given crop, will produce that crop
well, until after it has had the ben-!
efit of a proper degree of exposure
to the action of the sun and atmos-
Lphere. One man, without cogniz-
. . t
ance of this universal law, plows
up the soil some ten inches deep
and immediately sows his wheat or
bailey, oats, or some other crop
; upon the newly exposed soil and
drags it in, and because he does
1 not get a good crop he comes to the
j conclusion that deep plowing is not
the thing after all, particularly with
his soil. The next year he plows
j the same land shallow and produces
j a magnificent crop of the same
j kind of gram with which he failed
J the year before. He now becomes
j a firm believer in the system of
j shallow plowing and would not
; have his land plowed deep if any
' one would do it for nothing.
Another man, perhaps a neigh
i'bor, plows an adjoining field of the
1 como Li tul rl vi i I tn ta cimn (InrtfJt

the first year, and consequently he
, , ,
becomes an advocate, under all
circumstances, of deep plowing.
Here, then, we have two farmers
living side by side, the soil of whose
farms is exactly similar. The fact
however, is, that they both lost
sight of an element or circumstance
upon which the failure of oue and
success of the other turned. 1'pon

In consequence of the long con
turned rams and necessary delay in
seeding, farmers all over the State
will be jn a great hurry to but in
their grain as soon as the grourai
is dry enough to work. There is
great danger, therefore, that many
of them will lose sight of the very
important idea illustrated above,
namely, a prope exposure ot tbe
soil to the sun and air before sowing
the seed. Xo land should be sown
especially when in the condition in
which all our land in California is
at the present time cold and
damp mntil some days after plow
ing. Gram, like everything else in
natnre, to make a good luxuriant
growth and full development, must
be started under favorat le circnm
stances. Oue of these circurrrstan
ces is that the seed sown must be
good, for like produces like. An
other is, that the soil upon which
the seed is sown must contain a
proper proportion of the gases and
other ingredients to give it a healthy
and luxuriant start. It sprouted
without these necessary ingredients
the very first ' appearance of the
shoot as it comes out of the
soil will be sickly, and it will never
recover so as to make a good crop.
Farmers are often at a loss to know
why it is that there is sometimes so
much difference in grain in the same
field, one part being sown only a
few days earlier than the other.
This difference is sometimes twenty-
five and sometimes fifty per cent,
and can generally be accounted for
in the different conditions of the
soil and consequent difference in the
first start oft'.
lesson.
Do no get in too great a hurry to
plow the land when too wet, and
uo not ow it too soon after plowing.
It will lie found in the end that the
crop will be much more satisfactory
if the soil has only a few days' ex
posure before seeding. Rmrd.
Experience with Flax.
In reply to the question of II.
P. Smith, I would say that there
is no difficulty in raising flax, if he
can secure a rich soil, well drained,
yet not what would lie called dry.
but a good deep drained bottom.
He must have no weeds, and must
have good seed. I notice, that it
. r
has been said that the average crop
"out West" is six and three-quarter
bushels per acre. This is a mis
erably poar yield, and must be due
either to weeds poor seed, or to
too thick sowing. I have always
raised a few bushels of flax for my
calves, for which in weaning time
it is of great service. Kut I, have
raised six bushels upon a quarter of
an acre ; and my 1 Hitch neighbors
aroimd here all raise some for the
seed, and the filter, which they spin
and weave into grain bags, m the I
old-tiashioued style. If seed is the
object, not more than one Atshel
per acre should be sown, late in
April or early in May, or before
corn planting, and after the oats
are sown. When sown thinly the
plant branches greatly, and the
seed bolls are larger. It should be
harvested the same as buckwheat,
anil thrashed in the same maimer.
When the filter is wanted, as well
as the seed, it should be pulled by
the roots, or cradled and bound in
small sheaves. The seed is shed
from the stalks, either with the
flail or by drawing them through a
comb of long steel spikes, or wiref. j
set upright in a horse or tressle. j
This is called liimIiiio Then the,
bundles are laid in water, to he
"rotted," after which the fiber is
broken, hackled, and made into
tow for homespun yarns. This
ought to be a very profitable crop
upon the rich prairies, and ought
to yield at least twelve to twenty
bushels per acre, if kept clean.
Hut it is a very exhausting crop,
and it ought not to be taken from
, r4 . .
in five year. A i armr Qith i
ampton (., l'enn In this sec-
I tion of Illinois, when a great deal
of flax is raised, the usual time of
sowing is from the 20th of March
to the 10th of April, according to
the season. A sef ere frost will kill
it after it is sprouted. From
twenty to twenty-five quarts per
acre is the amount I should sow
I have never sowed any on new
prairie, that is, prairie not fully de
composed, but should think it
won'd do fnllv as well it not better
than on old land, as itisanexhaus
tive crop to the soil, and the richer
the soil the bettor. As to the
snreness of crop compared with
wheat, it depends altogether on the
seasop. It grows better in wet
yeai . as it requires moisture. The
yield here is not. quite so good as
wheat, being from seven to lfi
bushels. We obtain our seed at
the oil mill, and sell our crop there.
This vear we received 1 50 per
bushel. The market price here
has been very uniform for the last
three or four years, not fluctuating
more than 15 cents per bushel. J.

Experience with FfRehe.
After nine years engaged in
growing peaches, I find the old
method of training the trees so low
to be wrong. I fuid that cach
trees, trained three and a-half feet
to tour and a-ha feet, am as
beaithy, and not so liable to break
. . -. .... .
r ,T ...
when in fruit, as low trained trees.
The fruit can be gathered as early, 1
as the branches are not so upright,
, , ,
but more spreading. I he peach !

three years after planting, and it is

Very difficult tO cultivate the trees;
well when the branches are so low. I
I have practiced banking the ground
up around the trees in the Spring;
I find it a great help to keep the
borer out. Ashes and muck com
posted make a good fertilizer for
the peach, on light thin soils.
l'otash dissolved in water, so it
will bear a potato, is a good wash,
but care is i ceded in not usino- it
too strong; it can be safely applied
to four-year old trees, or older, as
far upon the branches a can be
reached from standing on the
ground. Old trees, in to 15 years, j S' teWJffi
can be renewed by cutting off alll2XK

and leaving al the sprouts on that

es arc cut off. The colder the
weather when the top is cut the
more vigorous will be the new
growth in the Spring. The peaches
for which I was awarded the first
premium at the American I'omo
logical Society meeting, held in
HoSton in Septemlier last, were!
mostly grown on tret-s treated ns
abov'e, 14 to 10 years of age. The
trees are now in as vigorous and
healthy condition as young trees,
and the fruit grown on them is
snixrior to that grown on young
trees. I) S. Myer, Sussex Co.,
