The Huntingdon down al. farm atO tatstOlb.. Work for Jure. From the day in the Spring, when the farmer plants his seed, to the time when he gathers the corn, there aro not many intervals of leisure. Seeding, hay time, and harvest follow each other ,in rapid succession. But with this every day la bor, the farm has other incidental require ments which cannot be neglected. Na tare's law means change of decay. Every month brings its special work but June . brings with it many added duties. There is much that must be done, there is more that should be. The thrifty farmer looks ahead, prepares to do what must be done, and does what he can of what should be done. The hay and grain cutting and securing will be in hand before we are aware. Now is the time to make prepa rations. Have you secured what extra help you shall require? Is the hay rake all ready; the mower and the reaper set up; the ladders repaired, and every prep aration made in the house for the conven ience and comfort of all concerned? If sot, now is the time. Don't trust too much to promised help of a neighbor. The pressure of harvest, an accident to the machine, the loss of a hand, a little sickness that wouldn't stay away until a more omvenient time, draw heavily upon many a man's good will, and many a promise made to the car is broken to the hope. The fable of the Lark and her young, simple as it is, is good reading for June. The lesson may be supplemented with the trite proverbs : "Take time by the forelock," and "make hay while the sun shines." _ Hard Times. High prices for labor give a fair indica tion of public prosperity. A diminution of prices aggravate hard times. Demand and supply regulate values. Over-pro duction is the forerunner of enforced idle ness. The Pennaylvania Central Railway, by a stroke of the pen reduced the rates of employees ten per cent. The Pan-Handle has followed the precedent, and in a little while, all over the country, the same re duction will be made. We need waste no time to learn that a corresponding re. duction has not been made on passenger and freight rates. How many hundred thousand must economize in their mode of living we have no means of knowing. But the country was flattering itself that the burden of hard times was lifting and that renewed activities we were entering on a decade of general prosperity. But ten per cent. reduction means scantier food, coarser and longer worn clothing; it means another turn to the already faded . and worn dressi It makes 90 cents buy what a dollar bought before. It takes 10 per cent out of the general circulation. It takes more com• modities, more labor to lift the mortgage or pay the note, which, when paid, give an added wealth to one and an increased poverty to the other. It makes "strikes" with their multiplied evils. It tends to continue HARD TIMES. Principles Governing the Production of Milk. From an article on is subject in the Scientific Farmer, we eondense the follow ing items : "I understand very well, as probably every man does who handles milk, that there is a wide differenoe in the composition of pure milk, especially in the matter of the percentage of butter. AU milk it richer in September than in June, and it varies in this respect in different masons in the same herd or cow. The sow that is fleshy gives milk richer in but ter than the cow that is thin and poor. One that has reached her full maturity gives better milk than she did before she reached that age. A cow that is gaining flesh day by day gives a richer milk than a cow that is losing it gradually. Expe rience has taught me that a cow's milk very deficient in butter often fattens a . finer calf than that of a first-elass butter cow. A man esenot procure milk profita bly for any purpose without feeding his cows liberally with good, sound,. healthy nutritious food. It requires a certain amount of food to supply the demands of nature. All above that amount which she will take and assimilate will be con verted into milk and flesh. The herd should be kept warm in winter and fed and watered with regularity. This diet should be varied as much as convenience will allow." CLovitu.—The proper time for cutting clover varies with the season ; but it can not be far into Jane. The time is when a majority of the heads are in full blow, and few withered. If cut then it will b; secured in better condition than if art earlier, and be much sweeter and less lia ble to get dusty than if a majority of the heads are dying off The best plan to care clover seems to be a mooted question. A practice, now followed by some of the farmere, is, if the weather be good to spread it or titre it over when a little wilt ed after the nutting and to get it secured as soon as it can be made in good order. There is no time to be lost in curing• in cocks. Nor is there any risk from spon taneous oombustion in the mow. Though when well secured, admitted to be excel lent feed for sheep, young cattle and milk cows, most farmers have a prejudice against its use for horses. We never saw any injury from the use of goof clover hay, to horses, if fed in moderation. Many feed without stint—and not unfrequently dusty and mildewed. Herein lies the trouble. KINDNESS IN HANDLING lionsgs.— One very common habit of practice we ob serve both in the city, and in the oonntry among the rural population, is that of yell ing,sharply at horses before a cart, wagon omnibus or buggy, with that of sudden and violently jerking the reins, supple itrai d n a V4 !With sharp shrieks of the voice, i Aid make any untoward move ms—•a bait we deem no leas reprehen sible than detestable, and one that should be eorreeted, aqd abainden4 arSver.

After taking three bottles I was able to sit up and move about my room. I continued taking the Vegetine, and I was in a few weeks restored to my former health.

The following is an extract from a description of Vineland, publish ed in the New York Dibune, by the well known Agriculturist, Solon Robinson : All of the farmers were of the "well-to-do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, vary ing from sandy to clayey, and sur face gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. it is certainly one of the most exten sive tracts, in' an almost level posidon, and suitable condition for pleasant farm ing, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discov er the cause of this continued fertil ity. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we fbund evidences of calcareous sub stances, generally in the form of in durated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation; and this marly substance is scaetered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
