Farm Work for May*
How to economise time and labor and-to ac
complish most during the present month, is the
farmer's study. Mauv a iarcLer
do so much work himself that be breaks down
under the pressure, whiie he should have spent
part of hi 3 time in planning to make work go
smoothly, to have no hurryiug, DO work to be
doac over again, and to have no body on the
farm who interrupts the work of others, or i>
out of the way when wanted, or shrinking bit
share of the tough jobs, and looking oat for
ensy ones. The farmers of onr country should
remember that all prosperity, especially in this
country, is dependent upoa the the prodacta of
the soil, and so use the whole fertility of the
3oii aud the manure-heap to the best advan
tage, aud with confidence iu Him who givith
rain in tine season, und orderetb the seed time
and the harvest.
Beans will do pretty well on poor soils, but
a great deal better on good. Tbey run to
tops if ihe ground has too moch fresh mannre,
and are an excellent crop for cleaning land of
Weeds. Tuey are always marketable, valuable
for hone use, and for feeding to sheep. Plant
white bush varieties 2 1 2 feet apart.
Bees —A moderate apery can be easily at
tended to with little expense and trouble, and
with great profit.
Birds—Spare them al! ; pot up bird boxes.
More than one or two compartments are unde
sirable Kill cats that kill birds ; allow no
guns fired on or near your premises.
Bones— Collect from far and near with jenl
o_s care ; pound them up or put them in with
the horse manure.
Broom Corn—Plant late in the raontji, on
good corn land in hills, three ftet each way.or
lu drills -4 four feet apart, thinning subsequent
ly to fiix inches apart in the rows.
Buildings—Paiut bffcre hot weather comes
on, if at all. -Remove all litter from tinnsed
stalls and the bottom of bays, beforo it be
comes u barber .Lr rats and mice and insects,
which soon take posstesiou when the premises
are left undisturbed.
Cattle—Continue to fodder until there is
abundance of grass. They will relish u little
hay at night even after being turned io pas
ture. Feed grain to working cattle according
to the severity of their labors. Potatoes or
ether roots once or twice a week will keep
tbero in good, healthy working order.
Cellars—When the cellars are empty, clean
them out in every nook and corner, and white
wash throughout, and stop rat holes with ce
ment and broken giuS3.
Clover—Wheu winter grain is thin and
backward from any cause clover aud grass
seed will catch if sown early.
Corn—Prepare the soil in dry weather, nev
er work the ground when it is wet. Examine
carefully and reject all imperfect seed. If wet
and dried off with lime, smutting is prevented
Dairy—The labors of the dairy are com
monly more burdensome this month than ar.y
other. Plenty of rich milk, with good help
makes the work light.
Draiuicg —mark the spots that need drain
ing, und be prepared to put in the " crockery"
or stone next fall in good earmst; aud im
prove drouths, at any season, to draiu low
swampy land.
Flax and Ilernp—Flax CHiture promises to
become more remunerative in future, from re
cent improvements in preparing the fibre. Sow
this and Herup early.
Fences—Keep all in repair, particularly
road and boundary fences, and around pasture
lots where young cattle are confined, If they
cnce become unruly, no ordinary feuee will re
atraiu them.
Grain Fields—A top dressing of plaster, ni
trate of scda, or guano often proved beneficial
to both winter and spring gruiu. Guano,lime
or wood ashes, sown liberally before the seed
is covered, will benefit heavy soils. Keep ait
stock from grain fields, and pull the weeds as
soon as plainly visible before the grain is too
large.
Grass Seed —May be still sown upon grain
fields not nlready seeded, and on poor mea
dows. Use plenty of seed.
Horses—Need, to keep them in good condi
tion during Spring work, generous feed uDd
thorough groomiHg. Collars, cart, and har
ness saddles should fit perfectly, and these are
much better hard than soft. Soft pads induce
sweating, and galls if the i-kiii be broken. A
piece hard leather, cut to fit the neck aud
shoulders under the collar, is a great re'ief to
a terder skinned horses. Sponge the bead,
shou! iers and legs night and morning.
Horse-hoes —In ail cases where hand hoeing
uan be dispensed with, and the work done by
horse power, do so. The linage is usually
much more thorough, because ofteaer repeat
ed and done at so much less expense.
Mowings—Allow 110 grazing in spring.—
Top dress with Due compost before the grass
has advanced much,, or apply ashes or plaster,
if needed. Keep tuo wash chaDuels open from
the road, and arrange them to distribute the
water over a wide space.
Parsnips—Afford a valuable feed for milch
cows ; should be sowed about the middle of
May rather shallow, iu drills two feet apart.
Parsuips make lighter drafts upon the soil tbau
any other root crop, except onions, but delight
in a deeply worked light rich eoil.
Plowing —Lay oat long lauds, and avoid
curving furrows. Whenever practicable fol
low with the subsoil plow. There is no other
good preparation for deepening th 6 Boil by sub
sequent plowing?, and it is a great preventive
of injury for drouth.
Poultry—lf confined, keep np their laying
by libera! feed 0; grain, boiled potatoes, and
frequently aoaie chopped meat and grass or
green food. Allow them to leave their yard
an hour or two before sundown. Hens with
chickens should be coufioed io portable coops
and chickens ullowcd to roam in the garden or
fruit yard uutil they begin to scratch badly—
they will destroy many insects. Feed young
poultry on cracked corn Instead of meal, io
creasing the size as they grow older, until they
can manage whole coru. Milk curds are very
wholesome food for them.
Provisions—Pork iu barrels in the cellar,
hams in the smoke house, and other provisions
need looking after occasionally. Add salt to
the brine if it needs it and that it coverß the
meat, ilams sewed in thin mnslin bags and
white washed, will rarely be troubled with the
fly. Keep them dry and cool.
Sheep—Shear early without washing unless
the sacrifice of the wool will be too great.—
Shear scabby sheep, and dip in a decoction of
tobacco, scrubbing them with a brush, and
watch the brel symptoms of toot rot.

"To be, or not to be— hat is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition,
Or by taking u > arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
THE proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver
tising his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for fling
about a " sort of a concern,'" which is hoping " to delude
the public."' As I have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference is that if the public bring their
binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded,
lor two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and lie
has taken great pains t satisfy the public I was the " best
Binder in America,'" as the columns of the Argus wil
testify. Has he been all that time " deluding the pub
lie?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been th
principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time a
evidence that there lias been no fraud practiced.
Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery
business, 1 have resumed business here on my own ac
count,as 1 know of nothing which prevents me from fol
