Hints for the Season.
I. Watch the beehives tliis month, as the
l)ee-motii is very plentiful at present. Qninby.
in the AmtricnnxAgricnlturisl ', reconiHiends the
ne of a mixture of " sugar or molasses, and a
l.ttle vinejrar and water making the" contrast
nsjreenble—the sweet and the sour, Rut this
in shallow dishes, snncers, or tin bakinpr dishes,
and set them among the bees at evening ' —
Next morning moths of all kinds will be found
in the liquid, and may then be strained out
and destroyed, and the mixture used the fol
lowing evening.
11. In watering plants that, arc suffering
from drought, do it thoroughly. Soak the
earth to the depth of one or even two feet and
to an extent in diameter proportionate to the
plants, which is at least as far as the branches
extend in trees, and to double the extent in
small specimens such as rose-bushes. Previous
to watering, remove a few inches of the sur
face soil, and replace aftewards. If the soil is
mulched, removing the soil is not necessary.
111. The present is a good time to drain
land. Help can be had easily, at reasonable
rates, and there is always considerable time to
spare during this month. When you do, drain
work according to a plan, and yon will not at
a future time find it necessary to relay with
larger tile, or sink your drains deeper.
IV. Keep your corn clean by removing all
weeds, and hoe often, for by this means your
crop will be increased. Where weeds grow,
and the soil is baked, the crop will be light.
V. Clean your seed-wheat thoroughly from
chess and the seeds of all weeds. Wash it in
strong brine, and skim off all the floating
grains of every kind. Dust with lime when
wet, and it will kill the spores of smut.—[ Ohio
farmer, Aug. T.
*
Aoßict'i.Tcrt.u. TIII THS. —The following state- 1
ments will be found correct as to the soils long
under cultivation.
1. All lands 011 which clover or the grasses
are grown, must either have lime in them
naturally, or that mineral must be artificially
supplied. It matters but very little whether
it be supplied in the form of stone, oyster lime
or marl.
2. All permanent improvement of lands,
must look to lime as its basis.
3. Lands which have been long in culture,
will be benefitted by the application of phos
phate of lime, and it is unimportant whether
that deficiency be supplied in the form of bone
dust, guano, native phosphate of lime, compost
of flesh, or that of oyster-shell lime—or marl,
If the lands need lime alone.
4. No lands can be preserved in a high state
of fertility, unless clover or grasses are culti
vated ia the course of rotation.
5. Mouid is indispensable in every sod, and
a healthy supply can be preserved through i
the cultivation of clover and the grasses, the
turning in of green crops, or by application of
composts rich elements of mould.
G. All highly contentrated animal manures
are increased in value, and their benefits pro
longed by admixtures, with plaster, salt, or
with pulverized charcoal.
7. Deep ploughing greatly improves the
productive powers of every variety of soil that
is not wet.
8. Subsoiling sound land, that is land that
is not wet, is eminently conducive to increas
ed production.
if. All wet lands should be drained.
10. All grnm crops should be harvested
before the grain is thoroughly ripe.
11. Clover, as well as grasses intended for
hay, should be moved when in bloom.
12. Sandy lands can be most effectually im
proved by clay. When such laiftls require
"liming or marling, the lime or marl is-most
beneficially applied when made into a compost
with clay. In slacking lime salt brine is bet
ter than water.
13. The cropping of grain to be fed to stock
operates as a saving cf at least twenty five
per cent.
14. Drainiug of wet lands and of marshes
adds to their value, by making them to pro
ducc more and by improving the health of the
neighborhood.
15. To mannre or lime wet lands, is to
throw manure, lime and labor away.
WATERING PERSPIRING HORSES.—A Snbsrei
ber in Warren, It. 1., inquires our opinion in
regard to "giving water to horses when they
are sweaty." If horses are to be driven or
worked at once after drinking, it will do no
harm to give them water to a moderate extent
when hot or sweating; but if they are to stand
still for a half hour, more or less, especially if
exposed to cold air during this time, they
should not be allowed to drink over two quarts
of water till they get cold, which will not be
less then from one to two hours, ordinarily.
AGRICULTURE AND LITERATURE. —Farming is
the best employment for a literary man, if he
has only been brought up to it in his youth. Jt
interests the mind, without exciting it, and
can be made to strengthen the body without
wearying it. If Walter Scott's wild, out-of
door exercise, was the stimulus of his genius,
and when lie', quitted Abbotsford for lvlinburgh
and incessant literature, the golden bowl was
broken at the fountain. One of the most vigo
rous writers of the Quarterly Review used to
spend six hours a day at the plough, and then
write with a furore. When our literary men
turn farmers, our farmers become also literary
men, our natiou will have reached its highest
point.
KCOXMY OF THE FARM. —To drive business
be up witli the sun. A late beginning usually
m ikes a worrying day with an unsatisfactory
amount of labor done at night. Have jour
tools, and places to keep them in, that no time
may be lost in searching for them or in going
to borrow. Spend a little time to root out
the stutnps, old roots or large stones, which
the plow has brought up for years. Leave
no waste, uncultivated places about the farm.
The soil may as well produce a crop of vegeta
bles 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 in after time. There is economy in it too.
To KEEP IL rrtß. —Have a stone-jar (or
butter firkin, the first is the best.) half full of
brine, that will H >at an egg, sugar may be
added but it is not indispensable. Into this
drop your rolls, or prints of butter when thor
oughly worked and ready for use. Keep the
jar closely covered, and your will probably not
have a plate of oily butter on the table first
instead of the lust thing at meal times. I
have known such.
