can be got in, except where the 
wheat midge is likely to attack 
the wheat, the better. Late 
sowing is sometimes expedient to 
avoid the insect. % Plant early 
potatoes on warm land.

PROTECTION FROM WINTER WINDS. 
Besides the very important purposes of shade and 
ornament, trees perform another exceedingly useful 
office,—that of sheltering from wintry winds. If 
evergreens are largely introduced in the plantations 
around dwellings, they serve wonderfully to miti¬ 
gate the evils of our long and rigorous winters. A 
person with whom we are well acquainted, thinks 
he saves from ten to twenty dollars a year, in the 
diminished quantity of fire-wood, since the belts of 
pines, cedars, hemlocks, balsams, Nor ways, and 
white spruces, have grown up on the bleak sides of 
his house. 
Now, trees may be planted awkwardly, and they 
may be planted tastefully. To give a few hints un¬ 
der the latter head, we have the above plan; more 
especially as writers on ornamental planting appear 
to have lost sight of this important utility in trees. 
The prevailing winds are supposed to be from the 
south, northwest, and northeast. Hence the plant¬ 
ings of evergreen trees predominate at these three 
points, while in other directions the view is left 
more open. At the same time, artificial stiffness is 
avoided. The number of trees may be tripled if 
necessary.

Average Products or an English Farm. —The fol¬ 
lowing are the averages of some of the products of a 
firm of 740 acres, near Brighton, England, occupied by 
Wm . Rigden. He has 250 acres of wheat, averaging 26 
bushels per acre; 40 of barley, 40 bushels; 60 in oats. 
60 to 80 bushels; 240 acres in clover and grasses, two 
tons hay. He keeps 350 South Down ewes, which ave¬ 
rage yearly about 400 lambs; average quantity of wool 
yielded by the flock, four pounds per fleece, and it sells 
at 25 cents per lb
