The Farm

A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman says: If farmers would smoke their seed corn thoroughly, the birds or squirrels would not eat much of it. If seed wheat has oats in it that cannot be taken out with a fanning mili it can be cleaned by making quito a strong brine; filling a wash tub half full of it, and then throwing in half a bushcl of wheat at a time. Stir it around, and the poor wheat and the oats and weed seeds will riso to the surface, and can be skimmed off. Then take out the wheat, lay it whore it will drain off, and it is ready for sowing, eyen if it is a little damp. It generally pays ior all trouble tó procure the best seod.
