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
