NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MONTH Dreary winter is passing away, and joy ous spring again comes to cheer and glad den. In many localities, the music of the groves and the sound of lowing herds and Ideating flocks may be heard, while in othei regions the fields and meadows are covered with snow, and desolation reigns. Will March, farmers in some of the States com mence farming operations, while in others chilling winds and pelting storms confine the husbandman to the in-door labors of the farm. In one State the soil will be plowed and the seed putin for various crops, but in some others the fertile fields and the bab bliug streams will still be bound in icy fat tors Everything shou'd be on the march towards improvement. Should the pro gramme of farming operations lor .the sea son not have been already completed, let ii be done without delay. If a good system of rotation has not been already adopted plan it at once. Where no field labor can yet be performed, put every thing in ordei to do it as soon as weather and soil are fa vorable. There are hundreds of good far mers who do not know the great value of a crop of peas. They have never raised a crop, and they do not. understand how to use them up advantageously. Procure good seed, in time to have it ready to sow wliei the soil is dry enough to plow, and put in s few acres of peas instead of barley, oats.oi Indian corn. Peas will leave the ground ii an excellent condition if the soil be wel prepared for them, and if sowed at a propei time. They will be found excellent food for all kinds of stock, and there is no bettei meal for feeding milch cows, or sows thai are raising young pigs, for the purpose o: producing an abundant flow of milk, thai an equal quantity of good peas and Indiai corn ground into meal. What crops will you raise? What will your soil produce ; or what kind of grain grass, or roots appear to be best adapted t< the kind of soil, or what kinds of grain ol other crops have grown for several years past on the soil ? These are questions that every farmer ought to consider before he decides what kind of crops he will raise during the coming season. A farmer should endeavor, as far as may be practicable, t< adapt the right kind of crops to his soi rather than to adapt the soil to the crops If the soil is not adapted to either wiutei or spring wheat, do not attempt to raise it If the soil is a good wheat soil and it ha? produced more wheat in years past thai any other grain, it may be well to try some other crop that is also adapted to the soil which will return perhaps as much, or more than a crop of wheat. Draining. —Before the soil is fit to plow let it be examined for the purpose of ascer tuining whether or not some portions of i may not be drained very advantageously where it is excessively wet. Let wet por tioiis of a field be staked out and drains cul for tile, stone or wood. During the montl of March a long line of undcrdrain may bt made before the soil is lit to plow, if tht proprietor only has energy enough to lay out the work and commence at once. If il be delayed until the soil is fit to be plowed and other work begun, the draining will not be done. Cattle. —Begin to increase the amount o! meal fed daily to all fattening animals.— Bullocks and dry cows that are designei for early beef should be well fed, watered and protected from storms during this month. Indian meal and oil meal fed nov to fatten animals will start them right an< return a good profit next .June in early heel flows. —(Jive horses daily exercise, eitliei bv turning them loose in a yard for a tew hours, or by driving them in the harness Mares with foal should hi; handled will great care, and if there is much snow am ice they should be sharp shod to proveni their slipping down, which would be very liable to cause slinkink. Feed breeding mures a pint of unbolted wheat lluur daily in connection with their other food, as a small quantity of wheat flour is more highly esteemed than any other grain by experi enced horse breeders for developing tin growing feetus. Houses. —Faint dwelling houses and othei buildings during this month as the pores ol the wood and sun-shrinks are now closed and the paint will form a more durable coatirg on the surface than if applied in hi>l weather. Implements and Tools. —Begin in good time to procure new tools and implements of husbandry, and to repair old ones.— Todd's Young Farmer's Manual treats o the mechanical part ul agriculture and edge tools and implements of husbandry, giving many useful hints. Manures. —Spread horse manure over the heap and never allow it to heat and become firefanged. Haul manure to distant lit-hb while there is sleighing, or before the ground has thawed, when the soil would be so wet that it would j>e injurious to drive over it and when a team would be unable to haul off a load. See that the rain Iron the eaves of buildings or from any othei source eloes not wash away the- soluble por lions, the best part of barn yard manure. Peas and Cots. —The oats keep the- peaf more erect than they would otherwise- grow and as they both ripen at about the same time, the yield per acre is usually mud greater than if either were sowed alone There is no better feed for young swine horses, neat cattle of all kinds, and sheep than peas and oats. Seed may be obtaine-e by the barrel or sack of seed dealers in me>si i-ities and large towns. Potatoes. — Assort potatoes ami feed >ul the small erne s to stock : lay the best aside for seed. Roots. —Every animal shoulel be- fed a fe-w meits daily. Save a few of the best to be planted out fi>r seed. If you have nevoi vet raised roots, procure see-el and make ar rangements for an experiment with a croj <>f them the coming season. Stones. — Both large and small ones may be hauled off the field as soou as thawed loose, before- the soil has become soft, il the ground is soft, pry up the large stone-g e-n meadows ami place billets of wood e>i small stones beneath them so that they may be hauled oft'as soon as snow has fallen, or the ground will bear up a team. Re-move brush, higs, and other rubbish from fields, if likely to be in the way of the plow. Swine. —Separate sows that will farrow this month, from other swine. At least two weeks before their time prepare a warm and clean sleeping apparment, and make the bed of cut straw, in the middle- of the. floor, to prevent overlaying of the young pigs. I)o not fe-ed too high before tin young pigs are ten days old, but give a few feeds of raw roots of some kind before and after farrowing. Stables. —As the warm weather comes on. see that stables are thoroughly cleaned out and well littered and ventilated, but horses should not be exposed to cold air currents, especially at niglit Sheep. —Take extra care of sheep during this mouth. Separate all feeble ones from the main flock, so that every one may re ceive a little grain and roots daily in con nection with other food. Remember that every early lamb is worth raising even at some extra care. Trees —As soon as the frost is out of the ground, ornamental trees may be trans planted, and if the soil is in order, frui trees also. Drain the soil thoroughly, am pulverize deeply for all kinds of trees an< shrubbery ; manure will usually be needed Water. —Look carefully over the fan when there is a great amount of surfae water, and see that it does not run acros recently plowed fields, and wash away th< soil. Turn small streams of muddy watt 1 from highways upou meadows and pastures they carry with them much fertilizing mat ter, and will increase the crop of grass fo years. Wheat. —Procure in time good seed o spring wheat, of the best fanners. Get tin last year's wheat floured in order to havi bran for feeding. Wood. —lmprove every stormy and leas ure day in preparing fire wood for nexi summer. Weeds. —Rally all the available force o the farm, and with sharp hoes cut all tin bull thistles, teasels, mullein, and othe biennial plants that will mature the sets the coming season. Cut them about tw< inches below the surface of the soil ; tin surface water will stand in the little exca vations and enter the roots and destroy them.— American Agriculturalist. MAECH AND APEIL LAMBS. In order to raise lambs as early as Marc! and April, the ewes should be in good con dition. To have the lambs dropped strong and healthy, the ewes should have hat plenty of gentle exercise. To make then grow, good early cut hay should be provi ded. clover is best for milk. For grain.feet oats, shorts, and oil-meal, and, if possible provide plenty of roots, of which beets ar best. A warm barn or shop is of impoi tance, for no prudent mail will attempt t< have early lambs without a comfortabl place for them. A few small pens, sufficiently large fo one sheep and lamb, say 3| by 3 feet ough to be provided, and as soon as the lamb i dropped it should be put, with its dam, iutt one of these pens. If the wool has not al ready been cut away from the teats, this must be done at once, if necessary, and tin shepherd should see that the lamb sucks After remaining separate from the flock fo a day or two, if the lambs become strong and suck well, they can be taken out am put with the flock of ewes with young lambs leaving the pens for younger ones. It i not well to allow ewes with lambs to rui with those that have not lambed To mak the small pens, take sound boards am match them together, so as to make tin pen 2 feet 8 inches high, T feet long, and 3 ; wide. Make a little feed rack, 1 foot wid and 3| long, and set in the center, and yoi have two good pens 3 feet by 3| each. I the weather is unusually cold, make# cove to these pens and cover them over when yoi have fresh lambs, they need m> bottom. After the lambs are three weeks old,the; should be separated from their dams a par of the time. This prevents the lambs fron learning to eat wool from the sides and leg ol the sheep, as they frequently do whei left to themselves. Another advantage ii separating them is, that they can be fe< with a little grain and roots and a few choic locks of hay, all of which they will sooi learn to eat. The ews will also do better when the lambs are kept away from them i portion of the time each day. To separate them, let the shepherd stam in the doorway, with the door open jus enough to let one sheep pass out at a time a boy going behind the sheep drives then out while the shepherd keeps the lamb: back. If the sheep are well trained, the; will readily pass out, and the lambs wil learn to stay back. If they have not beei handled much, and are inclined to be timid be gentle with them, and in a short timi they will learn their duty. Good lambs cai be raised at any time in winter, by theabov< plan. BAD MANAGEMENT IN CULTIVATING OATS. The system of management which h adopted very extensively in many parts o the United States, is decidedly bad, not onl; for the immediate pecuniary interest offar mers, but for the productiveness of tlieii farms, and for the country. It is bad foi farmers, because they receive only a liglr crop, when their soil is capable of yielding in many instances, twice as much as it has formerly produced, with the same amoun of cultivation. It is bad for the soil, be cause it is kept in a very foul condition which, of course, renders it less productive nd it is bad for the country, because fiek agr culture is the great motive power o the nation, and anything that tends to di lninish the quantity of grain will tend ti cripple the resources of government. \Ye refer, particularly, to the practice o growing oats for many years in successioi on the same soil, by plowing it only once and'seldom returning, in the form of fortil izers, to compensate for the crops that havt been removed. Thousands of acres of ex cellent land for agricultural purposes arc cultivated in this way, until Canada thistles wild mustard, horse dock, and many othei noxious weeds have taken almost en tin possession of the soil ; and one of the worst features in this system of management witl the oat crop is, all the weeds mature then seed before the oats are ripe enough to cut and enough is shelled out, when the oat> are harvested, to seed the soil for sevei years to come, and the Canada thistle seei is blown all over the country In all suel localities, if farmers will discontinue oats, and raise a crop of Indian corn one year and a crop of buckwheat the next season and apply all the manure they are able t< make, they will soon find that it will be fai better, and more profitable, to adopt some <hort rotation system, even where oats hav< been considered the most profitable crop t< raise, for several years in succession. It is quite impracticable for a farmer to avai himself >f the great benefits arising fron clean cultivation of the soil, when it is plowed only once each year, and then in tlu spring U\ a late ascension of an aeronaut, :i gentleman requested to be allowed to ac company him into the upper regions. "Are you good tempered ?" asked the aeronaut "1 believe so," said the other ; "but whj do you ask ?" "For fear we may fall oin on the way." WATER isn't a fashionable beverage lot drinking your friend's health, but it is ; capital one for drinking your own.
