Stock Farm: Cows now are coming more rapidly to the pail; but it is still better to sell the milk, or even to make butter at the prices usually offered, than to make cheese. The earlier calves, if heifers, are generally reared; if steers they are sold at once; or they may be reared, and even fattened, on skim-milk with calf meal or Indian meal or ground oil-cake. The ewe flock occupies attention. Lambing in the southern counties is in full swing. Fattening stock are being sold, as they are fit for the butcher.

from "Farm Work for the Year - February"
Arable Farm: Carting and ploughing are still the chief occupation of the horses. In some districts, however, they are at work with the sowing machine and harrow. Spring wheat may be sown either after beans, if the stubble was not ready two or three months ago, or after clovers if for any reason they have been kept standing so long, or after the earliest sheep fold. Beans, too, are sown in February, either drilled by the common Suffolk drill, in rows 12 to 18 inches apart, or sown two and a half to three bushels per acre on top of the manure, in land that has been ribbed up to receive the manure, in rows 26 inches or more apart. Peas may be sown on the lighter lands three bushels per acre, in rows 18 inches apart; and near towns where a market for green peas exists, dry soils and early situations may be well used in this way. Purchases of seed may be made according to the proposed cropping of the farm, 12 lb per acre of various clover seeds, one bushel or more of various grass seeds, according to the area to be seeded, and 5, 7, and 3 lb. respectively for every acre to be grown of carrots, mangels, and turnip seed. Manure, too, may be purchased - bone-dust, guano, superphosphate, special manure, soot etc; arrangements should be made for all these.
