gtaficuUuraJ. NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS FOE JULY July, if the weather be only what we hope for,will give the farmer but little time for reading. His labors begin early ami close late, to be renewed with the next dawn. Men are very likely to overwork, and over-ambitious boys, by too hard mow ing ol" pitching, or by doing "the work of a man" in some other way, injure themselves for life. Many a farmer is undersized,crook ed, or one-sided, because he was ambitious, when a boy, of being told that he was worth as much as a man in the harvest field. They only realize when too late,that they will never be worth so much again. Drouths may come, and constant work ing of the surface, mellowing the soil,deep ly as possible, without injury to the roots of the growing crop, is the cure which al most all may apply. A liue mellow sur face absorbs water from the air. We can not too often urge irrigation. The brooks and streams which can be conducted over meadows and lower-ground, are of almost inestimable value, and yet it is hard work to make farmers believe it. Every man may have a demonstration of the advan tages to him in a fortnight's time, if he will only conduct a small stream over his grass land. The time is not far distant when many farms will have irrigated meadows, yielding three, four, or five crops of luxuri ant grass during a single season. Barns. —Clean out thoroughly during rainy weather. Begin at the top and sweep down all spider webs, chaff and mouse lit ter from the beams and girders. Turn over loose boards on the ground floors, and brush out wire-worms, sowbugs,centipedes, and all other insects that exist there in the cracks. \\ here there are large cracks in the upper sides of beams, fill them with coal tar, and then scatter clean sand over them, so that it will settle into the tar. This preserves the timber and also repels inseots Parley. —Cut before it is dead ripe, and and cure with care, as the grain will be heavier and brighter,and command a great er price in market; and the straw will fur nish a great amount of fodder. When hay caps are not used on the barley shocks, to protect them from rain, the long straight bunches ol straw should be placed careful ly all over the tops of the shocks to turn the water as much as possible, and save the grain. Beans. —Field beans may be planted as late as the middle of this mouth, where early potatoes have been dug, or where In dian corn has failed. Buckwheat. —Sow as soon as the middle of the month in this latitude. Where there is danger of early frost, put iu the seed sooner. Do not sow more than one bushel per acre. Twenty-four quarts of good seed is sufficient. Buckwheat may be sowed af ter barley, in many localities, and ripen be fore frost. Sow the seed very evenly, and roll the ground where there are many small stones or clods, in order to have a smooth surface on which to harvest the grain. Putter. —See that milk pails and pans are thoroughly scalded ; that those who milk have clean hands ; that the milk is kept in a cool airy place ; that the oreant is skim med oil" at the right time ; that churning is done often ; that clean salt is used, and that the butter well worked and neatly packed in inodorous vessels. Cabbages. - -Whore the ground is rich,nice heads may be raised before winter from plants set anytime in Julv,ifthev are kept well hoed. Lorn. — Keep the horse-hoes aud cultiva tors in motion among the growing corn. Use a short whiffie-tree when the stalks are so large as to break oll'easily. Straight en tip all hills that are not disposed to grow erect. Hot weather is the best time to work among growing corn. Better pull than cut large weeds ; Indian corn does not need root pruning. Calces. —See that they have a good sup ply of clean fresh water, during the hot weather. Let them have access also to a tub containing salt. Wean them gradual ly. It is very injurious to withhold a full supply of milk, abruptly, and confine them to grass and water. It often stunts them so that they never recover from it. Clover. —Where clover has got the start of stock in pastures, it is better to mow it otf and let a new crop grow, than to let it go to seed, as animals do not relish it when it is old and tough. Beaming. — Look out for, and give earlv otdeis for good tiles. Round or pipe tiles are best, ii well made and burned. Never use soft ones. A well burnt tile ought to ring like a bell when struck, and a soft one will not unfrcqucntly be crushed by the weight of earth settling over it. /allows. —Rather than allow a good soil to lie exposed to the burning sun for sever al months, sow three or four bushels of In dian corn per acre. In six weeks there will be a good burden of green manure to plow under. Let fathers repeat it to their >ns, and let them impress it upon their posterity, that fallowing good land tends to impoverish it. Grain. Make timely calculations to cont inence harvesting grain before it is dead ripe. When it is to be thrashed soon after it is cut, stack it close to the barn doors, and run the straw into the barn. By this means a large amount of fodder can be saved in good order. Grass ami Hay. —\\ here grass grows very large in moist places, and falls down, let it be cut and made into hay at once. When a farmer lias a large quantity of grass to mow, if he waits until it is all lit to make into hay, unless he has an abun- [ dance of help, some of it will become too ripe. I his will suggest the importance of sowing different kinds of seed, in some meadows, so that part will be fit to cut a few days in advance of the rest. Hay Mows.—Store the hay as evenly as possible, su that it will come out easily. Let a boy, or weak mail manage the hay lork, ami let a strong man mow away the hay, as that is much the hardest work. llfteiny. —The object of hoeing corn and root crops is not simply to keep down the weeds, and to draw a little fresh earth about the roots, but it is primarily to stir and loosen the surface, that the air and raips may have free access to the soil in which the roots are. The frequent passage ! ul a light cultivator or horse-line is of * r reat l benefit to crops on land suffering "from I drouth. Jhdje and Fence Hon*.— Ply the bush hook, and keep down the brush ; let no weeds go to seed. Manure. —lf care he taken, an immense quantity of weed growth may he convert ed into good manure, either by throwing it in the hog pens, or by making a regular compost of it, putting it in alternate lay ers with any fermenting mnaure ; or piling it up and pumping liquid manure over it. Cows brought to the yard nights, and fed an armful of grass each, cut in the morn ing, and thus well wilted, will drop manure enough to pay for the labor over and over again il it be only well collected and com posted. Oi7be—Send careful men through the tielus, and pull up dock, mustard, or other weeds. Where oats fall down before the panicles are formed, they had better be cut' at once, and cured like hay, as they make excellent fodder. Grain does not fructify well, after the straw has fallen down. Pasture .—Do not feed off pastures too closely, as the grass will be a long time starting again, especially in hot and dry weather. It is a bad policy to keep so much stock that pastures are always very short. The leaves of grass perform the offi ce of lungs. Therefore, let plants have top enough, that the breathing may not be ob structed. Potatoes. —Finish cultivating and hoeing potatoes as soon as practicable, as the i roots should not be disturbed after tubers have begun to form. If weeds appear a-1 mong them, they should be pulled rather than hoed up. Poultry. —Keep a good dust bath for the fowls, and add unleached wood ashes to it occasionally; watch any appearance of vermin, and clear them out with an appli cation of kerosene, which may be rubbed under the wings, and on the backs and breasts of the birds. Whitewash occasion ally and thoroughly houses, perches, nests, and all. Sheep. —The best attention for sheep this month is to allow them an abundance of good grass and salt. Dry ewes and year lings are very liable to be in heat this month. See that bucks do not run in the same flock with them, unless they are shackled. If there are any old ewes in the flock, separate them at once, where they may be fed one pound of corn meal daily. If confined in a small enclosure, they may be fed mowed grass and meal. Managed in this way, they will make good mutton in two months. Old ewes will fatten much sooner in hot, than in cold weather. Stacks. —Where hay or grain is put in stacks, make a foundation at least half a foot from the ground. The best way to build a stack is, long and narrow, and to cover it with good boards, placed directly on the top, forming a roof like the covering of a lean-to, sloping only in one direction. Swine. —As soon as green peas are fit to feed, let the swine have a good supply. Keep shoats in a thriving condition. When they are confined in close quarters, mow an armful of red clove r for them, once or twice a day. Where whey is fed, it will make much better swill to mingle meal, or shorts with it, and allow fermentation to com | inence before feeding Swine of all kinds ! like clean and pure water, as well as any | other animals ; and if they could always i have access to it, they would not probably "wallow in the mire." Soiling. —Millet, Hungarian grass, oats, sorghum, and corn may be sowed for soil ing. Turnips. —There is no kind which gives j better satisfaction on the whole than the I purple top strapleaf. It is the turnip for j the million, both for the table, for market, and for feed. Swedish turnips (Rutabagas), I sowed during this month, make excellent table vegetables, better than if sowed ear lier, because tenderer. Sow broadcast only among among other crops in open corners, or by-places, and where you cannot use the : seed-drill well. Tanbark. —When teams have little to do, and laborers are at leisure, haul spent tan bark and deposit it in some day place, for littering stables next winter. Dry tanbark is an excellent absorbent of liquid manure, and it will pay to haul it, as well as saw dust, one or two miles. In summer it can usually be obtai ted readily. In autumn it is sometimes scarce. Tools. —Keep all implements under cover, or in the shade during hot weather. The sun warps and cracks the wood work of scythe snaths, rakes, and forks, and when they are covered with dew, a thin scale of rust is soon formed on bright surface of iron and steel, all of which injure tlicm more than ordinary use ; alternate rain and sun shine will often straighten bent pieces of wood. Tedders. —When a farmer has much hay to make, in will pay to procure a tedder, and keep it in constant operation, until the hay is fit to rake. (irass will cure much faster when it is flying through the air,than when it remains on the ground. Ventilators. —Make one or two near the middle.- of every stack, and mow, by tack ing four boards about one foot wide togeth er, making a trunk ; set these on the end, and draw them upwards, as the mow or stack is carried up. Some holes should lie bored through the floor where the ventila tor stands, to let in the air. A bag stuffed wiflt hay answers a similar purpose to the trunk ot boards, but, of course, may not be left in the top of the hole, as the trunk ntay, when the mow is full. Ii heal. —ln localities where winter wheat will be fit to harvest the last of the month, sec that everything is in readiness before the grain is fully ripe. Wheat makes more and better flour, ifit is cut before the heads droop; before the kernels have passed the "dough state." Leave an acre, or more of the earliest and best to ripen fully* for seed. H heat makes better flour to put it in shock, as soon as cut, rattier than to sun it in the swath, as is sometimes practised. In low cry weather, cover the shocks with hay caps. Weeds- -Write the words, Mow Weeds, in large letters, where all the hands will lie sure to see them ; and let every laborer un derstand, that if it is too wet to work at bay, grain, or hoed crops, weeds may be mowed, close to the ground. In many past j tires, large bull thistles cover nearly one | half the ground. They should be mowed j not only to allow the grass to grow, but to ! prevent the seed blowing over the country. Wood.— For use next winter, fire-wood ] should have the benefit of the hot weather in July and August, if not already cut and piled under shelter. Work. —Drive your work in the cool part of the day. From four o'clock to seven in | the morning—the very time when most farmers do the least work—is the plcasant est time to labor. Rest from 11 to 1 o'clock Then work will go much easier, than to rest during the-cool part of the day. Yards —Grade and drain barn and stable yards for winter. Level up low places by hauling in hard and heavy earth in time to allow it to settle before heavy rains in au tumn. Where the surface is uneven, plow down the knolls and ridges, and make the surface quite level and smooth in the sum mer. PREVENTION OF THE HOOVE. W hen neat cattle and sheep eat too much red clover, their stomachs soon become so much inflated with -gas, that without im mediate relief they often die iu a few hours. \\ e have known neat cattle to be hooven and die, in defiance of all efforts to save I them, even after they had been grazing in ; a clover field more than two weeks. Where ! they can have access to other grass, they j will seldom eat enough clover to make them bloat ; but, as soon its they are required to subsist entirely on red clover, unless they have free access to an abundance of salt, there is great danger that they will too much. We have always been accustomed to keep salt in a tub iu the field, where the stock were grazing on red clover ; and the animals would eat freely of it many times a day ; and we never hail a animal affected with the hoove, as long as the salt tub con tained a good supply.
