The Hand-hoeing Operations. These, as may be anticipated, were for the joint purpose of cleansing the interspaces between the rows from weeds, and of breaking up that incrustation which at all times is apt to form itself on the surface of long-unstirred soil, thereby excluding atmospheric permeation. "This hand-hoeing should be performed about the end of March or beginning of April, before the wheat is spindled (i. e., run up to stalks) and, if the weather be dry enough, you may go lengthways of the ridges with a very light roller to break the clods of the partitions, whereby the hoe will work the better. "If there should, afterwards, more weeds come up, they must not be suffered to ripen; and then the soil will be every year freer from weeds. "This hand-hoeing of the rows should be done at the proper time, though it happen, by late planting, that the horse-hoe has not gone before it; for it may be, that the weather has kept out the horse-hoe; and the earth may not be dry deep enough in the intervals for the hoe-plough, but deep enough in the partitions for the handhoe. "And the expense of this hand-work on the rows This expedient also has been followed at Lois Weedon, with success, in preventing falling through weight. r would be well answered, though there should not be one weed in them; and so it would be, if a second hand-hoeing were bestowed on the partitions of every crop of wheat not suspected of being too luxuriant. "If, after the last horse-hoeing, there should be occasion for another hoeing of the intervals, where the narrowness of them, and the leaning of tall wheat, m...
