RURAL BRIFFLETS, 
The Gregg has been well tried at the Rural 
Grounds for two years. It does not stand the 
Winters... 
We find that poultry like lettuce leaves as 
well as any green food. It is easy to keep a 
patch of lettuce near the hen-yard. Even 
after it runs up to seed the poultry are fond 
of it... 
One bushel of medium-sized wheat sown 
broadcast gives 15 kernels to the square foot 
Two bushels give 30 kernels to the square foot. 
It is very plain that much of this seed is 
wasted. But it is a difficult matter so to 
prepare land and so to sow the seed that a 
large proportion will germinate and grow. 
Were this the case it is evident enough that 
the crop cnild never mature since each plant 
ti'lers so as to produce a number of stems..... 
Spinach seed may be sown in this latitude 
as late as October 1. Sow in drills a foot apart, 
five pounds to the acre. It is well in exposed 
fields to cover it lightly with salt hay, leaves 
or straw, though in warm, well-drained fields 
tbit is not at all necessary. It may be cut in 
early April and the land cleared for cabbages, 
beets, beans, p3as, etc. Near thrifty markets, 
spinach is a very profitable crop, as no other 
plant is more valued for greens. We sow our 
spinach seed in early Spring for family use 
on rich soil so as to induce a quick growth 
before the beat of Summer, as this causes the 
plants to run to seed, rendering the leaves 
small and tough. That known as Round leaved 
is as good as any either for Fall or Spring 
sowing. 
Those who doubt that Bermuda Grass ever 
forms seeds are invited to visit the Rural 
Grounds and iuspect a little plot raised from 
seeds sown in the greenhouse last Spring.

Yet Introduced for the cultivation of corn has ever won so many laurels as 
The Deere Spring Cultivator 
A sale of 3 1,000 last Spring U convln-lng proof of Its merits; and many more would have 
been sold could we have furnished them 
A good corn cr ip dipsuls upon freruent stirring and deep cultivation ; and with the 
“ Deere " you can b >«voareorn wh-«n small, so easy do the shovels move; and as the corn In¬ 
creases in size the depth can be increased to any desirable degree. 
Farmers must not be deceived 
into the belief that every kind of a spring improves a cultivator. Our springs are used to 
arrest the tendency of the shovels to run too deep, an 1 this is what lightens the draft on the 
learn, and labor to the plowman, transferring, as it does, the weight of shovel-rig* to the 
wheels. Remember the Deere Spring, and learn its merits before buying and you will 
buy no other. 
The Deere Spring Cultivator 
was first Introduce! to the farmer lathe Spring of 1875 . when It at once took 1 he leading 
position, which it hiq hel l ever alme The continuous eccentric; crank, axle ana single 
lever, and th* prinelole of carrying the weight o ' plow and furrow upon the wheels was 
bo admirable In operation, that a largo demaad sprang up which increased year by year to 
such an extent that wo have never been able to fully supply it, 
THE QUFSTIOJV OF DRAFT 
which vsed to bo raised, is now effectually settled by many caeful tests ; that doing the 
s.mo amount ol' work, the 
as II •liter than a walking plow: and after so many victories over competing sulkies, 
lie “ii 'cess of the GILPIN on lull-sides and leveling at all depths, and opening and finishing 
land in the best manner, Is settled beyond dispute. 
added last rear, Is all that was lacking to make the Ginns perfection. With this, all la bor 
and strain to operator In lifting plow out of the ground is now transferred to the team. It 
is tne greatest Improvement .vet made on sulky plows, and Is so arranged as not to give any 
sudden Jerk or strain to any part of the plow. 
The C'lpin Sulky Plow- 
50,000 SOLD IN SEVEN YEARS, 
GENERAL-PURPOSE PLOW 
For heavy land, timothy sod and deep till¬ 
ing, this plow has no equal in the market. It 
is of long, easy turn of mold, light draft, and in¬ 
verts stubble completely without “ flirting,'’ 
leaving “readable” furrows to be pulverized 
by the harrow, and is therefore an especial fa¬ 
vorite with old country farmers. It iilis a want 
long l'elt ny larmers who “ rotate ’’ their crops 
anti require the same plow for use in both sod 
and stubble. Capped standard, hardened iron 
centre steel molds, patent wrought frog, har¬ 
dened steel shares, double shin, medium steel
