Calendar of Operations for WUy 1859.
FARM —From the accounts thus far received
from übruutl, and our own observations about
home, the past Winter appears to iisive beet
u favorable one for Winter crops. Grass aid
trruiu fields come out bright with very liith
winter-kill, and the continued damp weatliei
brings tlieni forward sufficiently rapid.
The heavy rain.- of April have retarded some
of the fartn operation.-, so that a portion ol
the directions given last month have neeessari
ly been retarded until now,. Read the formri
calendar anew, and attend first to any work
thus kept back
May is decidedly a working month, in which
the hnsbandmau must commit Ids seed to the
earth in faith (not forgetting the " works ") il
he expects to reap a harvest in Autumn. In
putting in seed, be it grain, corn, or roots, it
is of the first importance that it lie well done,
for no after lahor, however thoroughly per
formed can wholly compensate for wrong plant
ing. To do this properly prepare the ground
by manuring well where needed, and with plow
subgoiler, and harrow, or cultivator, loosen tuiri
pulverize tlie soil deeply and thoroughly. It
good seed be properly put in now, and the weeds
kept down, failures will be comparatively few.
But for the particular operations of the far
mer in addition t<o the wotk of last month, we
have.
Beans to plant, at the south, and in this lat
itude ami further north. They are easily in
jured by the cold, and it is not best to plant
very early, ('over lightly, say one-half to three
fourths ot an inch.
BROOM CORN. — Plant, as common corn, or
in drills, 4 feet apart and thin to 8 inches in
the row.
Cattle still require feed in some localities.—
In others, all but working teams have been
turned out to graze. Have the cow - regularly
and cleanly milked, if possible by the same
person. Raise the likeliest calves and thus
improve your stock. Coifi.ie working teams
mainly to dry food until the heavy spring's
work is over.
Cellars are supposed to be freed from all
garbage and filth. Open the windows fur ven
tilation.
Clover may still lc sow n, with Spring grain
CORN. —Better let the ground be warm and
dry before planting It will come up strong< r
nnd succeed better. In this latitude we prefi r
from middle of May to the first of June. Ltt
the ground be well plowed and enriched. Test
the seeds by sprouting before planting. Stretch
white twine over the fields to scare the crow
ns soon as planted, and avoid leaving any com
uncovered to attract the birds. Twine strung
around the field is very suggestive to tliem of
snares, of which they are are shy. If very
tronblcsornc soak some corn in strychnine watvr
and scatter over the field.
DRAlNlNG. —Wetlands, is always iu order
until they are wholly reclaimed.
ECONOMY or TIIR FARM. —" Witches work,
while singgnrds sleep," says the proverb, and
the man who begins business late in the day,
usually finds tritek irork enough before night.
Be up then betimes. Lose no time in borrow
ing tools that you should own, and have your
own where they inay he found when wanted.
Remove the stumps and stones that have so
long annoyed you when plowing. Out with '
that old hedge row by the wall, und let grass
or grain replace it.
FENCES.—I*ut them in complete order. Poor
fences make breachy cattle.
GRAlN. —Complete sowing, any crops not
put iu last month. Keep stock of ail kinds
from feeding upon fields sown last month and
from the Winter grain Go over the latter
nnd pull out cockle and other foul stuff which
shows plainly*at this season.
Grass seed of all kinds may still be sown,
both with Spring grain and upon the Fall
sown, although it should have been put in la.-t
month.
Hoeing will be in order during the latter
part of the month, and even earlier at the
south. Regin to work out the corn early,both
to promote its growth and lighten future labor.
Horse and Mule teams require good supplies
of hard feed while going through the heavv
Spring work. Treat them kindly and they w ill
repay you.
MANURES.- DO not omit the manufacture of
them, although the yards have just been clear
ed. Cart in muck, saw dust, tan, loam, ret ,
for a bedding, and absorb all liquid or semi
liquid droppings of animals.
M EAUOWS. — Keep stock from tramping over
or rating down. A top dressing of wood
ashes, plaster or Peruvian guano sown over
the fields, will add materially to the crop of
liny.
Pi OWING. —Tom up the soil thoroughly aid
deeply, or at ieast a little deeper than ever be
fore. if it is not practicable to subsoil a
whole field, try a portion of it and note the
results.
POTATOES. —PIant, any omitted last month.
Where seed is scarce and costly cut to one or
two eyes. We prefer siz able potatoes cut in
two or three pieces.
Poultry will require little care now if run
ring at large. Where shut up it is well to let
them tut for awhile about sundown, otlu-r- '
wise the quantity of eggs w ill diminish. Egg> !
may still beset for late chickens. Wherepra.-
ticable place chicken coop under plum or cher
ry trees. Their keen eyes will allow few inset t
to escape from the ground to sting the fruit.
SWINE. —The pens should now be well fi l< d i
with young porkers. Give the sows a fuli .-iq -
ply of food with plenty of drink, and a little
►alt occasionally, keep from running at large I
Toots, MACHINES, etc. Now that mowing
machines and reapers are coming into such
general use, see if you had not betier add one
this season. Have carts, wagons and other
gear in order, and purchase whatever hay and!
harvest tools are wanted, early in the season.
ORCHARD AND NCRSERY.—It is not likely I
that the good planting weather of last month
was unimproved by either orchardist or nuiser -
man. Excepting with evergreen trees the ,
planting should have been done in April, in ,
this and southern latitudes. At the north it
may still go on, although it is very desirable [
to set out fruit trees and deeiduoosshade trees ,
also, as early in the spring as possible, before
the buds have started.
The nurserymen have had a long and favora
ble season for their operations, nnd have doubt
less so improved it as to be in readiness for
the later labors of the present month. The
cool weather of April checked the growth of
trees and made a much longer season for trans
planting and selling, than usual.
A pile Trees may still be transplanted, if
done with care.
Ev ROW.ENS. —We regard the middle of May j
as the bst time for planting
Hot* out nursery rows carefully
iWsccllanrous.
