farmer's Peprtuteuf.
Work for May.
May is quite ns busy a month as April, for
tlit farmer —at the .North even "more so—Near
ly all crops not already in the ground require
putting in at once, and before the end of the
month, the hoes will lie called into use.
No after labor can compensate for work
poorly done now, and a future crop is mainly '
dependent upon well manured and thoroughly
plowed ground, good seed, and a judicious
planting or sowing. We cannot too strongly
H'ge, now at the planting season, a finely ptil
verized and deeply worked soil for the seed 1
bed, whether it be a corn field, a potatoe patch
cr a grain lot. A few more bushels to the
acre will pay for an extra plowing or subsoil-.
ing.
Deans, which are not as hardy as many oth
er field crops, may be planted, or even, for'the
late kidney varieties. < over the large kind.-
rather lightly or they will come up poorly.
Bees, will be swarming in some localities.
Have hives in readiness and watch them close
ly.
CABBAGES —Plant out early sowings. Sow
for late planting.
CATTLE —Working oxen require good tend
ing, now that their labors are heavy. Keep
them from grass till Spring's work is over
Save the finest calves for stock, notwithstand
ing the butcher may offer ever so tempting n
sum. A good calf is as easy and cheaply r.iis
ed as a poor one. and the value id the future
animal may be doubled.
Cellars are fruitful sources of dbense if gar
barge and filth are allowed to aeeuaudate for
rears. We trust. they were th irouehiy ' mi
dland whitewashed last nioi th. Open the
windows daily for ventilation.
COP.N —Use seed which lias proved good.—
Failures mav be planted the first of tu xt
month with King Phillip or other quick grow
ing varieties. Sow, in drills thickly for >.> i
iflg. As soon as planted stretch twine across
and around the field to keen awav the crow-.
A few old barrels left in different parts of the
field suggest ambuscades to them. Bright tin
dangling from a pole usually frightens them.
Drain wet lands whenever other labors will
admit of it, and often when they don't. This
should be a standing rule the year around.
ECONOMY OF THE FARM. —To drive business
be up with the sun. A late beginning usually
makes a worrying day with an unsatisfactory
amount of labor done at night. Have vonr
own tools, and places to keep them in. that uo
time be lost in searching for them or in going
to ueiglinors to borrow. Spend a little time
to root out the stumps,old root- or larger stones
against which the plow has brought up for
rears. Leave no waste uncultivated places
about the farm. The soil may as well produce
a crop of vegetables as weeds. Set out a few
shade and fruit trees about the buildings, and
along the lanes and roads. Your wife and
children will thank you for it in after time.—
There is economy in it too.
FENCES —Keep stock of all kinds from be
coming breeehy, by providing good fences.
Grass Seed ruay still be sown with Spring
grain.
Hoes will need scouring up in the corn fields
by the latter part of the month in the South
and Middle States.
Horse and Mule teams require good hard
feed while under heavy work.
M ANTRES —Do not omit the manufacture of
them, although the yards have just been clear
ed. Cart in muck and loam for a bedding,
nnd absorb all liquid or semi-liquid droppings
of animals.
MEADOW# —Keep stock of all kinds from
♦ ramping over. Beat the cattle droppings
with a " mall" constructed for the purpose.—
Sow plaster and ashes over the fields.
Onions were probably sown last mouth.They
will need hoeing.
PFAS —Sow, scalding any needing it to de
stiny the fly. We have tried pouring scald
ing water over them allowing it to cool, with
no damage to the germinating power of the
peas, but with decided damage to the germs of
a future crop cf bugs.
Plowing is .-till going on briskly. Subsoil
a* many fields as possible. Remember StsT AN
INCH DKF.PKR KVF.KV YEAR.
Poultry will require little care now if run
n tig at large. Where shut up it i well to let
them out awhile about sundown, otherwise the
quantity of eggs will diminish. Ileus may still
b-" set for la'o chickens.
PUMPKINS —PIant among corn and by them
selves, both for table use and stock.
BOOTS —If not done last month, sow carrots
and beets for stock, ou rich and deeply plowed
Sheep have lambs by their side, or .are fast
dropping them, and require cere and good feed
ing. Washing and shearing may be done, in
some warmer localities.
Sorghum or Chinese Sugar Cane plant Loth
for syrup and sowing. It maybe put in as
corn, or what is mm h better, though requiring
little more labor, drilled thickly in rows 3 1-2
to i feet opart, to he thinned to 0 inches in
the row, when well started.
SWINE —The pens are supposed to be well
stocked with young " grinders," which may
properly have the range of the orchard if it is
not under cultivation. Don't make them a
nuisance, both to yourself ami your neighbors,
by turning them into the highway.
TOBACCO —PIant from seed beds.
TOOLS, MACHINES, AC. — Now that mowing
machines nnd reapers are coming into such
use, see if you had not better add one this sea
son. Have carts, wagons and other gear hi
order, and purchase whatever hay and harvest
tools arc wanted, early in the season.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.
The orcliardist so improved the mild weath
er of last month us to have his planting near
ly completed now, excepting at the North
where he is still busy. We have noticed that '
nurserymen have been pretty busy in tiding
the orders for trees. Many of them were un
prepared for such a rush, and their stock.espe
cially of standard pears, has been exhausted
The rage of dwarf trees has subsided and
standards are mainly selected now.
Apples may stiifbe planted, although all
trees should have been planted last month.
BUDDED TREES— Cut away the heads of -eed
-1 ugs budded lavt season, unless a failure is evi
dent. Remove suckers.
Lv TRORLEXS —The most appropriate season
for planting these is at hand. We prefer for
this locality, the middle of May for setting
them, although any time in the month answers
well. Remove them carefully, keeping roots
shaded during the operation.
ciralt:ng may still be done, if the scions i
were previously cut. and are in good order.
v Ki:l> ' ll lK —Keep free from weeds.— Amtr
