[From the American .Agriculture 1.1
Calendar of Operations for July, 1861
Farm—lt is of great importauce that corn,
potatoes, and other hoed crops be put in the
best possible condition before haying and har
vesting—the main work of this month. When
the grass and grain claim attention, all other
operations are put aside, and if the weeds have
not been subdued, and the soil left properly
loosened, corn must suffer. An additional
hoeing early this month, may make fire or ten
bushels per acre difference in the yield.
It is poor economy to attempt the severe
labors of the season with insufficient working
force. Overworking during the oppressive heat
of Summer is even more injurious than at oili
er times. There may be scarcity of help in
some sections, owing to the large numbers en
gaged in the war, bnt the absence of men
should bo supplied, as far may be, by using
labor-saving implements.
Darns and Sheds—lf not in order to receive
the hay and grain, no time should he lost in
repairing them. Where there are not buildings
enough to receive the crop, erect temporary
coverings for stacks.
Buckwheat—A good crop will add mnch to
the supplies for the house and the feed bin,and
will command a ready market, if not wanted
for home use.
Butter—To produce a good article at this
season, a cool well ventilated dairy room is
indispensable. Exclude flies from the premises
with frames covered with millinet, plaeed in
the doors and windows. Observe scrupulous
neatness in every operation. The tub or bar
rel for the reception of sour milk should be
kept at a distance from the dairy, and con
venient to the pig pen. The effluvia from a
fermenting swill tub will injure the flavor of
butter.
Cabbages for the latest crops may be plant
ed. Set them between rows of early potatoes,
which are soon to be gathered. Manure the
ground well. A good dressing of ashes aud
salt is often useful.
Cheese can be made successfully where there
are not necessary conveniences for making good
butter in hot weather.
Draining—lf there he leisure between hay
ing and oat harvest, employ it ia improving
open ditches which may need it. The work is
better done during the dry weather of Sum
mer. Lay tile or other drains where ueed
ed most. This improvement may be intro
duced gradually.
Fences—Keep in good repair, praticularly
around fields where young cattle are confined,
and adjoining corn and grain lots which tempt
animals to break from the pasture.
Grass and Clover Seed—Select the best
growth of clover, timothy, etc , and leave it to
ripen for seed. Choose a piece as free from
woods as possible, and pull out foul stuff before
gathering the seed.
Haying will commence in this latitude early
in July. Commence with clover, if not already
secured, and cut at the different fields are just
passing from bloom. But up the hay in small
cocks before it is entirely dried,and cover them
with hay caps. This should be done early in
the afternoon if practicable, while the hay is
heated by the sun ; much of the heat will be
retained, and greatly assist in curing the hay.
Banish the whiskey jug from the field, and al
low ample noon rest. If hay must be stacked,
lay a good platform of rails or slabs to keep it
from the ground. In stacking let the succes
sive loads be thrown on from different sides,
to preveut uneven settling aud leaning of the
stack.
Hedge-rows and bushes in pastures or other
fields, if cut repeatedly during hot weather,
mny be finaly destroyed. Follow it up in July.
Hoeing should be completed before haying
is commenced ; but an occasional day of poor
hay weather may be improved by going through
parts of the cornfield where weeds are en
croaching. If severe drouth should occur, it
would pay to use the horse-hoe or cultivator to
loosen the surface of the ground. Deep till
age should be avoided after the coru roots have
extended across the rows.
Ladders—Much time and trouble will be
saved by having convenient ladders for as
cending to sheds, lofts, and upon hay stacks.
"Make them in rainy weather in the farm work
shop, if you have oue.
Manures—Large additions may be made to
the compost heaps by cutting coarse swamp
grasses, and weeds which are unlit for fodder.
Cut them before the seed is formed, otherwise
inuwy will ripen and be scattered over the farm
with the manure. Decomposition goes on rapid
ly aided by the heat of Summer,and sink slops
contents of privies, etc., will be off'eusive unless
piaster, muck or other absorbents are used to
retain the escaping gases. Remember that
every ounce of ammonia lost, is equivalent to
the loss of perhaps a bushel of grain.
Oats—Cut at earliest maturity as directed
for wheat and rye. If they be too short to
bind well, use rye or wheat straw. Store them
where there is good ventilation. Clean bright
oat straw is very valuable for fodder.
Pastures—Do not allow them to be fed too
closely. If the roots of grass are unprotected
from tlve scorching heat ot Summer, it will die
out rapidly. A plot of early sown rye,sorghum
or corn,to be cut and fed this and next month,
will aid in keeping both pastures and stock
thriving.
Poultry—Keep them from the grain fields
until after harvest, then allow them to giean.
Collect the eges daily, and allow no hens to
sit at this season. Fall chickens are seldom
worth raising.
Potatoes—Do not disturb them after blos
soming. If 'he potato lly ( Ca.ntha.ris vittata)
is injuring the vines, many may be destroyed
by two persons sweeping the field with a sheet
held by the four corners, in the form of a bag.
Destroy the insects when collected, by scald
ing. When dried, they are medically useful
for drawing blisters. Dig early varieties as
they mature, and sow turnips or set cabbages
in their place.
Rye—Cat as soon as the grain is passing
from the milk state, or when it is sufficiently
hard to bear moderate pressure with the thumb
sail.
Seed Rye, Wheat, etc. —Leave the best
parts of the field to ripen fully for seed. Re
move all weeds before gathering, and thresh
as soon as practicable after harvesting.
Sheep—Keep in thriving condition by good
range of pasture. They may be used to ad
vantage in subduing fields overgrown with
briers. "V isit and salt weekly. W atcb against
the appearance of foot rot and other diseases.
Soiling Crops—Sow millet and corn, to be
used for soiling late in the season. What is
not needed for feediug green, may be cured for
winter fodder.
Tanner's Dark—Hemlock and oak bark will
" ruu " during most of July, and may be peel
ed at any time unoccupied bv other labor

" To be. or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to anfler
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea ot printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
rTMIE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in ndver-
L tisiug liis Bindery t-o indulge in an uncalled for tling
about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
the public." As I hare opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they arc in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. I'AKSONS, and he
has taken great pains t > satisfy the public I was the " bc-t
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wi 1
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, be has been th
principal. But I refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there has been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, I have resumed business here on my own ac
count, as I know of nothing which prevents me from foi
l-wing a legitimate and hawful calling for my snppnit.—
I shall endeavor by good work aud attention to iny busi

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
A COMPOUND REMEDY', designed to he Hie most ef
fectual AlUranv that can I*) made. It is a con
c> titrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
Other substances of still prater alterative power as to |
afford an effective antidote tor the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to cure. It is believed that such a remedy is
wniitid by those who suffer lroin Strumous complaints, i
and that one which will accomplish their cute must prove j
of immense service to tlit■ large class of our afflicted ltd- i
low-citizens. How completely this compaoud will doit |
has been proven by experiment 011 many of the worst I
cases to be found ol the following complaints
RCKOKCI.A AND SCROKI i.ors Cover. AINTS, EirrrtOKs
AMI KRUITIVK DISK ASKS. CLCRKS, I'IMI-LKS, BLOTCII KS,
TI'MOH-s, SALT Uutfii. SCALU HEAD, SYPHILIS ANDHV
PHILITIC AKKKI TIONS.MLITCCNTAL DISEASE, DROPSV,NEU
RALOIA OR Tic DOULOLIIKLX, DKIIIEITV, DYSPEPSIA ANI>
INDIOESTION. ERYSIPELAS, BOSK OK ST. ANTHONY'SFIRK,
and indeed the whole class of complaints arising Irom
ljH'i ITITY OP THE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors wnicli fester in the blood at that season of the year.
By the time ly expulsion ed them many rankling disor- j
dels are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid i
of this remedy, spare themselves freun the emluranee ol |
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system ]
will strive t<> rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to j
do this through the natural channels of the body by an j
alterative medicine. Cleanse out tlie vitiated blood j
whenever you find its impurities bursting through the
skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse It when you j
find it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it j
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. ,
Even where no particular disorder is felt people enjoy j
better health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. ;
keep the blood bealtby, and all is well ; but with this I
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health, j
Sooner or later something must go wiong, and the grca |
machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsapnrilla has. and deserves much, lite reputation of ,
accomplishing these ends. Hut the world has been egre- !
gionsly deceived by preparations of it, partly because |
the drug alone lias not all the virtue that is claimed for ,
it. but more because many preparations, pretending to |
be concentrated extracts of it. contain but little of the ■
virtue of Sarsaparilla. or anything else.
During bite years the public have b< en misled by large 1
bottles, pretending to give .1 quart of Extract ot S.usa- ;
papilla lor one dollar. Most of these have lieen frauds |
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any I
Sarsaparilla. but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed!
the use of the various extracts of Sur-.ipaii!Li which
Hood the market, until the name it-elf is justly de- f
siiised, and has la-come synonytnoas with imposition and 1
cheat. Still we call this wiyowil sr.-upri!lu. and in- !
tend t . supply such a remedy as shall re-cue the name
from the load of obloquy wbidh rests upon it. And we j
think we have ground lor believing it has virtues which i
are irresistible by tbe ordinary run of the diseases it is
intended to cure. In order to secure their complete
1 radi' .Ainu (is 111 the system, the remedy should be judi
eioti-ly taken according to directions on the bottle.
