(From the American Agriculturist ]
Calender of Operations xcr June.
FARM.—The husbandman has very liitle I. i-
Snre, between potting it. his late crops and coui
njencing to tili hia first plantings. Even now,
the first day of June, before the buckwheat
and turnip fields are sown, the corn and pota
toes, carrots and cabbages, require going
through with the plow and eultivuior,
by the hoc. Some of the lato iinp!eW ltß dt *
signed to relieve hand-labor are well adapted
to their work ; the
place of the hand-hoe in the corn-field. What
ever is used, see that tho ground is weil light
ened up before the roots have extended tar,
and early keep down weeds.
If there are any vacant spots which were too
wet to plant before, let them not he idle. There
is ample time to grow a soiling crop, it not to
ripeu corn, upon such land. Let no soil pro
duce weeds on!/, £0 scatter their seeds for a
future crop The prospect now is, that every
thing a farmer can nrse will be wanted, at
hom<*' r abroad, and at higher rates thau for
gr.ne years past.
Barley—Will sill! succeed if sown.
Beans—Plant any uot in, among corn or
alone.
Beets—Mangel-wnr.'zel and sugar varieties
sacceed weli when sown
Buckwheat—Sew, or even on the first of
July, that it may fill its kernels in the cool
weather of Autumn.
Cabbages— l'low and hoe early ones, plant
among early potatoes, and elsewhere, for late
use Use tobacco dust, lime and ashes sprink
led over the plants to keep away insects.
Carrots—lloe and thin early. Much lal or
may be saved, and a better crop secured by
taking the carrot, beet and turnip patch in
hand before the weeds get a start. Tnin out
liberally. Four to six inches apart in the row
is near enongh for carrots.
Corn—Replant failures. It is not too late
for the King Philip cr o;her early varieties to
ripen now. pet in frcclv for soiling, especially
if the pasture ground is small, Miikmen know
well its vaiue, and cinaily plant largely in
drills.
Fences—Should he examined often.
Grain Fields—lf there is any foul stuff in
them, select a "'seed patch," and pull out ev
ery weed.
Haying—Will commence according to the
forwardness of the grass. Mowing machines
are now so common that the farmer need not
commence upjn his crop before the grass is
rendy to will lie need to cut it down
while wet or rain.
Hoeing on many farms, constitute a
prominent portion of the work for June. Clean
tillage now will make easy work in Jul v.
Manures should he made at every season of
the year. Keep the cattic aud hog yards weli
covered with mnck ; scrape up cattle drop
pings each morning, aud throw theui in heaps
under cover.
Potatoes—Keep free from weeds, but do not
plow among them after they commence bloom
ing.
P •
Poultry require little attention if running at
large, save feeding n little grain and collecting
eggs. Where it is necessary to keep them in
buildings or yards, it is always well to let them
out a short time about sundown. Keep roosts
dusted with plaster,charcoal or mnck, and bar
relling the contents frequently for guano.
Pumpkins will still be in season if planted
either among corn or potatoes, or in patches
by themselves.
Sheep—Shear, if not done. Guard against
dogs.
Sorghum—Drill in a quantity for soiling
purposes.
Stock—Raise the best calves, lambs and
pigs to breed from. Provide improved breeds
of cattle and horses to cross with your own
6tock.
Swine—Where there is an orchard or small
pasture accessible, hogs may properly have the
range of it, but by all means, keep thein from
the highways aud dooryards If shut up, give
them weeds, turf, and other green stuff, daily,
keeping their pens well supplied with absorb
ents.
Tanners' Bark—Peel from hemlock and oak
standing it up carefully to dry.
Tools for hay and grain cutting, should nil
be procured and put in working order. With
a large quantity of hay and grain to cut, a
mowing machine will, doubtless, pay, besides
securing it in better order.
Turnips—Sow in this or next month.
Weeds—Keep them down while small, if
you would save heavy labor afterwards, and
secure good crops.
ORCHARD AND NCRSKRT.—If the work of
last month was properly attended to, there is
not much to do now except to keep down the
weeds and stir the ground, both in the orchard
and nursery.
Budding—May be performed at the south.
Remove suckers from trees budded last season,
and keen the growing buds well tied up.
Caterpillars—Destroy any remaining until
now.
Evergreens—These may still be safelv trans
planted, do not let the roots be exposed to the
sun while oat of the ground. Water nnd
mnlch trees planted lust month, if the weather
prove dry.
Fruit—Jar the trees gently, and pick up all
punctured fruit that falls. Thiu out where it
has set too thickly.
Grafts—Examine nnd loosen any bandages
catting into newly grafted trees. Replace ce
ment or grafting wax where it lias peeled off.
Rnb off suckers.
Hoeing will be the heavy work of the nur
sery during this month. The plow, horse-hoe,
or cultivator, will greatly facilitate the opera
tion. Hoc about orchard trees, to keep down
weeds and grass.
Insects—Wage incessant war against the
whole tribe of fruit insects—caterpillars, enr
culios. apple moths, borers, pear and cherry
slugs, bark srale, etc. All need attention.—
hang open mouthed bottles, half full of sweet
ened water, in the branches of trees, to entice
and drown the pareut millers ot apple, pear,
cherry and other worms.
Layer new growth of deciduous aud ever
green trees.
Mannrc—Apply a good coating about the
roots of bearing trees, to assist them in perfect
ing a crop. Spread it about at some distance
from the trunks.
Mulch newly planted trees, especially if it
be dry.
Praning may be commenced, especially is the
latter part of June a good time to do what lit
tie pruning evergreen trees require. Cut or
pinch back shoots of bearing fruit trees to in
doce fruit buds.
Water evergreen and other newly planted
trwes Ajiflj ;t at night, nnlch'-.g firs'.
