30 WHEAT CULTURE. 



perfectly distributed and germinated, even much less 

 than the above quantity would be needed to fully seed 

 the ground. Yet, if the planting be not done in the 

 very best manner, to secure the growth of all the seed, 

 we would recommend too much rather than too little 

 say six to eight pecks to the acre. 



TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS. 



Every prudent farmer will buy the best and most sub- 

 stantial implements and tools, and those of the best pat- 

 tern ; in the long run they are the most economical.^ 

 The greater despatch of work and saving in labor will 

 more than pay the extra price, in a single season, of a 

 superior implement over a poor one. Often the loss of 

 time and damage to crop, from hindrance by breakage 

 of a flimsy tool, more than offsets the higher cost of a first 

 class implement. Furthermore, the same good farmer 

 will always take care of and shelter his tools and imple- 

 ments from the weather, when not in use, and not leave 

 them out in the fields to be storm beaten.
