Calendar of Operations for August, 1861
Farm.—The first work of the month in this |
latitude wiH be to sceuro the remainder of tbe j
Lay and grain crops, if any uncut. Each day's !
delay after these have attained their proper
degree of ripeness, causes loss iu quality and |
quantity, by the shelling aud waste of the ;
grain, aud the hardening of the iiber of grass
The iuterval between harvesting and prepur
log for Fall sowing H fiords a favorable oppor
tunity for draining, drawing out muck, clear
ing up hedgerows, repairing buildings, meud- 1
ing roads, and other miscellaneous work which
has been deferred because of other pressing
operations. Now is the time to purchase ad
ditional stock for Fall feeding and fattening,if
there be not enough on the faun to profitably
use up the grass, grain and fodder produced
It is usually more profitable to consume raw
products upon the farm, than to sell them us
they come from tiie field. The manure, if pro
perly cared for, will keep the land from de- j
terioratiug.and grain is more readily transport
ed and as readily sold iu the form of beef.mut- j
ton and pork.
Barns and Sheds need ample ventilation
after being filled with hay aud grain. Leave
the large doors open iu fine weather. Keep j
the fowls from laying upon the hay, or tres
passing on the grain mows. Thresh and clean
all scatterings. Examine the roofs for leaks,
and repair if necessary, l'aiutiug is better
deferred until cooler weather.
liutter—Observe directions givon last month.
"Where a large quantity is sent to market, it
would pay to cool it well iu the ice house and
pack the tubs or pails in large boxes, and sur i
round them with fresh cut grass, which would
preserve the buttor from softening by the heat.
Cattle—lt is poor economy to keep young
stock or those iu tended for Fall fattening up
on short pastures. Plenty of grass now will
be a saving of grain hereafter. Milch cows
also need generous fare : feed them from the
soiling patch, if one was sown—or if necessary
ifllow a daily treat of bran or shorts mixed
with water and partly fermented.
Corn—The roots should not be disturbed
now by plowing. If weeds are troublesome,pull
them by hand, or hoe the surface lightly. Au
thorities are divided as to the propriety of re
moving the suckers. It would seem that the
grain would he better if the strength of the
plant were directed there by removing super
fluous growth of stalks. Experiments are I
needed to determine the truth in the matter.
Fallows or "Summer Fallows" should not
be allowed to grow aud ripeu weeds whose
seeds will be scattered iu the soil. The har
row will geuerallv destroy those growing, but
a few will still be left, unless pulled or cut hy
hand. Remember that weeds produce seeds
by the thousand each.
Feuces—Remove all hedge-rows of briers,
bushes aud weeds. Lay new lines of wall
where needed. Keep all in good repair.
Gleaning—Many busbeL of grain will be sav
ed by passing over the fields with the horse
rake after the grain is gathered.
Grain—Thresh as early as can be done cou-
Tcniently ; commence with the stacks. It is
usually better to sell as soon as the market is
fairly fixed. Use all that can be turned to ac
count iu fattening stock.
Hay—Cnt any remaining until now. Gath
er coarse wild grasses for bedding. Secure salt
marsh hay and sedge, during the low tides of
August,and remove to safe quarters. Surround
stacks with good fences to keep cattle from ,
wasting.
JLloises—Confine them iu well ventilated |
stables during the heat of the day, and turn |
them in the pasture on warm nights. Breeding
luares should not be overheated while suckling
their foals. Accustom colts to be bundled
while young.
Insurance—Keep barns and other out-build
ings insnred, as well as the dwelling. Large
Accumulations of hay or grain send up a column
of vapor which attracts lightning and exposes
them to be destroyed, unless protected by
lightning rods.
Manure—Turn every source for makiug
manure to account. Mow swales, gather road
side weeds, burn brush heaps, clear out privies,
siuks, aud sheds, etc., and have a large supply
in readiness before fall plowing commences.
Meadows—Remove boshes, rocks, and other
obstructions from mowing lands. Top dress
new mown lands with line compost, to protect
the roots from scorching,and quicken the young
growth. Keep stock from meadows until the
grass is three or four inches high, and do not
allow it to be eaten off very close.
Millet or Hungarian Grass—Cut before the
seed ripeus, if inteuded for hay.
Oats—Cut, as eoon as sufficiently ripe.
Cure the straw carefully : it is vuluablo for
feeding.
Pastures—Occasionally scatter cattle drop
pings with a maul. Mow weeds frequently,al
low none to ripen seed. Sow salt about their
roots, to attract the cattle and sheep, aud pre
vent the young shoots springing up. Suffer no
fields to be fed too closely.
Potatoes—Early sort 6 may be harvested as
■ooo as matured aud a crop of quick growing
turnips or late cabbages put in their place.
Ponltry—Allow them to glean the grain
fields after harvest. If confined to the yard,
give plenty of water and occasionally a little
animal food, to stimulate them to lay. Fatten
chickens and ducks for market early ; it takes
less grain iu warm weather, aud the prices are
more remunerative.
Root Crops—Thin turnips sown last month.
Keep the grouud light and free from weeds by
frequent use of the cultivator and hoe.
Rye—Harvest, any remaining. Glean the
fields with the horse rake, and thresh out the
scatterings for griudiug and feeding to hogs.
Select the best growth for seed, and thresh
with a flail before wauted for sowing.
Sheep—Separate males from the ewes and
give the iambs a rich pasture by themselves or
with the yearlings. Keep a few older sheep
with them as leaders of the flock. Examine
the udders of ewes while weauing their lambs
and draw the milk occasionally if necessary to
prevent their becoming caked. Salt freely,and
apply tar to their noses to repel tbe fly.
Swiue—Keep them growing by liberal feed
ing. Commence fattening. Early pork is usual
ly in demand, aud it costs less to make it.—
Feed with green food frequently. Unthreshed
pea vines are well relished, aud are wholesome
diet.
Winter Grain —Prepare grounds,to be sown
early uext month. It will succeed on sod ground
but preference is generally given to cultivate
it after oats,or an early hoed crop, as potatoes.
Timothy sown by itself, will ordinarily give
a good growth next season. If sown with Win
ter grain, leave it until next month or the fol
lowing Spring. Use from eight to twelve quarts
of seed per acre, according to circumstances.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
J And opposing, end them."
proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
. tising bis Bindery to indulge iu an uncalled for fling
| about a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude
i the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, tbey are in uo danger of being defrauded.
For two years 1 have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
has taken great pains t > satisfy the public 1 was the " best
Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has lie been all that time " deluding the pub
lie ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he 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 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol
lowing a legitimate aud bawful calling for uiy support.—

and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
This compound will lie found a great promoter of
health, when taken in the spring, to expel the foul hu
mors wnirh fester in the blood at that season of the year.
By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves from tlie cnduiance of
eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system j
will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to j
do this through the natural channels of the body by an
alterative medicine. Cleanse ont the vitiated blood |
whenever yon lind its impiiiities bursting through the >
skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse it when you
tiud it is obstructed and tduggUk in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when.
Even whore no particular disorder is felt. people enjoy
belter health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood.
Keep the blood lieaitby, and all is well; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health.
Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the gita
machinery of life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the reputation ol
accomplishing these ends. Rut the world lias been egre
giously deceived by preparations of it, partly because
the drug alone lias not ail the virtue that is claimed fur
it. but more because many preparations, pretending to
be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little ot the
virtue of Sarsaparilla, or anything else.
During late years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa
parilla lor one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has lollowed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the nalne itself is justly de
spised, and lias hecoine synonymous witli imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Ssrsapanlla, and in
tend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name
from the load of obloquy whidh rests upon it. And we
think we have ground for believing it has virtues which
are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is
intended to cure, in order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should be judi
ciously taken according to directions on Ac bottle.
