Hints on Farm Work for April.
Lot the fences all be prepared as soon :
possible, if any of that work is left over from
last month.
Get out the ntannres and composts for the
Spring and Snnmier crops. In this, better
fertilize half the ground well than to go over
the whole with n scant supply.
If the meadows have not been already top
dressed with manure fur the season, they had
better be postponed till after haying, as the
raw portions of the dung will remain, and be
in the way of the scythe,and mowing machine.
Besides this, the soil will be badly cut up by
the teams, and wagon, or cart wheels, doing
more hurt than the dung will do it good. Let
the loose stones be also picked off the mowing
lots, and carried off altogether. Putting there
in heaps, large or small, only gives a harbor
for mice, moles, and other vermin intent ou
mischief.
Clean np the door and wood yards of their
Winter litter. Put the chips under cover, if
yoo have any, and pile up all strut and loose
lumber. Ruke and pitch together the litter
of the bnrn yards where it can rot down into
muck or compost. " Slick up" generally, so
that thß whole premises may look tidy and
comfortable.
This is the month to set out shade and fruit
trees. Pig iurge holes—" not as big as your
bat," bnt three, four, five, or six feet in diam
eter, so as to give ample space, and more too
—for the roots, which the trees now have, but
for the young fibres that will strike from them
in the next year or two.
Put in the plows for the coming crops. Plow ,
deep not while sluggards sleep only, but plow
deep always. Recollect you haveamost excel- |
lent farm right below the one you now occupy j
and only about six or eight inches under it, '
where the roots of your previous crops have sel
dom penetrated. Only work into this new
farm thoroughly, say three to six inches, and
let it see daylight by throwing its fresh soil up
to the sun, and the effects, after the first year
or two will surprise you. Don't mind the
" hard plowing.". Put on an extra team or
two ; or if you have not that extra team of
your own, change work with your neighbor,
and you will be well compensated in the crops
—next year, if not this. Don't be afraid of!
that " nasty yaller clay," or that " leachy |
gravel," or " poor sandy stuff." if it does come ;
up. If not quite as good the first year, it will
be the second, and soon you will have a deep
rich soil a foot deep where yon only had from
two to six inches before. When well plowed, j
and the surface dry, put on the harrow, the
teeth sharp, and thick, and tear it up as fine
ly as possible for the young seeds.
riaut early potatoes as soon as the ground
is warm enough. Let the peas, barley, Spring
wheat, and oats be in as soon as possible.— '
One day of early Spring growth is worth a
week of June or July in giving a thrifty stalk
and well filled head.
Fix the ground for corn, and beans, the lat- i
ter part of the month, and let it lie up to the
sun to thoroughly warm, so as lo be ready to
plant in good season—the right time to plant
you know better than we do, as we are igno- |
rant of the exact place you live. Corn ought |
to come up quickly, and then grow right on, !
without stopping a day till it ripens. Stunted j
corn, be it either by cold in the ground after
planting, or frost, or drought after it comes up,
uever gets forward like that which has no pull
backs. And in a corn country, like ours,
where we rely largely on that crop to make
moats as well as to sell, and eat it, it should
receive the very best part of our attention.
If the apple, and other orchards trees have
rot been pruned all lhey need—and which is
not inneh, if they have been attended to as
they ought to have been for years before—
take off the useless sprouts and limbs of the;
last year's growth. Cut out the broken branch- '
es, if there be any ; put crutches under and j
straighten up the leaning trees ; throw the
head into shape, and let them go on rejoicing ,
in the protection cf a good master who appre- i
ciates their value.
Get the tools all in order, and keep them so.
When the field is plowed bring the plow in,
and put it under cover ; so with the harrow,
and other tools. Have a place for them, and
let them be in their place, so you can put your
hand on them in the dark. The same with
■hovels, hoes, axes—indeed everything that
yon work wikh on the farm, as sleds, wagons,
carts, exclusive.
The cows are now bringing their calves.—
Wo have already told you how to manage
tliem, as well as sheep with their laiubs.
Young colts usually drop in this month, and
May. Look well to the mares about this time.
Don't work them hard for a few days before,
and after dropping the foal. A sweated mare
is more injured in the way of her milk for the
young foal than is almost anything else. She
may work constantly after the colt is a week
old, but the work must bo uniform, and not
hurried. Her blood must be kept equable,and
her feed generous. Chopped hay, or straw
with meal of some kind is the best, being easy
of digestion, and producing plenty of milk.
Let the cows be still stabled every night un
til the weather is warm enough for lying out.
Cows are just as liable to catch cold by expo
sure as folks are, and as their coats are now
coming off they are thiuner haired than u>ual,
for a month or more.
In short, look well to everything about the
place. " Whatscovcr your eyes sees, or your
hands find to do. do it with all your might,and
in good time." "Eternal vigilance is the price
of— RUCCCSS in anything, except a windfall of
good fortune ; but as we " common folks"
have no especial expectations in that line we
must trust to our own stout hands and willing
minds for the achievements of what good for
tnne is to altond us in life, and as " April
fool's" day is now past, wo hope the balance
of the month is going to be appropriated to
the getting of wisdom, and understanding, as
well as the getting in of our future crops, on
which our success for the whole year is to rely.
April, is perhaps, the most important month in
the whole season.- Amerienn Agriculturist.
