Work for April.
March was a mouth for making prepara
tions for field operations on the farm and
work in the garden ; and April invites the
polished plow and glittering spade to break
up the fertile soil and scatter the seed for
the promised crops. In many localities,
however, where the REPORTER is circulated,
the fields should not be plowed, nor the
gardens spaded, until May. What to do
and what not to do, on the farm and in the
garden, during this month, demands more
than a passing notice. There are many
tilings done in the garden as well as in the
cultivable field, in April, which had better
been deferred till May, even were the job
to require double the expenditure of force
to accomplish it.
WHAT TO DO IN APRIL.
Grass seed may be sowed ; and the ear
lier it is put in the better. Whether the
ground is to be appropriated to grazing, or
meadow, sow several kinds of seed, as the
sod will be firmer and the grass more abun
dant. When land is stocked down with red
clover, unless seed is the chief object, it
will be far better to sow oim bushel of or
chard grass and one of Kentucky blue
grass, per acre, with four quarts of red clo
ver seed, than nothing but clover, as the
grass will be far better for either hay or
pasture, than when only one kind of grass
seed is sowed. Orchard and Kentucky ;
blue grass seed weigh, with us, 14 lbs. per
bushel.
There is no better time than April topic
pare meadows for the mower. See that all
the heaps and lumps of manure are broken
to atoms and scattered over the ground,
b fore the grass starts. Rally all .the for
ces, when you are in doubt what to do first,
and clear the ground of stones, and every
thing else that will hinder the progress of
the mowing machine.
Sow ashes, gypsum, lime, or any other
fertilizing matter, as early as practicable.
Ashes will be found excellent for meadows
and pastures, on most soils. If the ground
is covered with moss,and the grass appears
to be bound out, sharpen the harrow teeth
and give the ground a thorough scarifying.
Apply a liberal dressing of ground bone,
or some other fertilizer, previous to har
rowing.
When grass seed is sowed on winter
wheat, or winter rye,if the surface appears
crusted over so that it is difficult for the
seed to find depressions where they will be
covered with soil, give the ground a light
harrowing. A few stools of wheat may be
torn up ; but the harrowing will benefit the
growing crop far more than the little injury
done by the teeth of the harrow and feet of
teams.
To make an excellent bed of fertilizing
matter for the garden, to be used in May,
turn up the privy on one side, and dip out
the fccal matter with a strong
to the end of a pole, and pour it on a bed
of muck, or fine soil, and mingle the whole
thoroughly together.
If any flax seed is to be sowed, defer
putting it in until after the ground has been
worked long enough for all the seeds of
weeds near the surface to germinate. Then
a heavy harrowiug will destroy a large
crop of noxious weeds in the seed-leaf, and
the tlax will get the start of the weeds,and
maintain the ascendancy during the entire
season
Prepare stubble ground for a crop ol sor
ghum, where the ground is heavy and was
not plowed last autumn, by plowing, ma
nuring and harrowing. By this process, it
will be thoroughly pulverized, the weeds
will lie destroyed, and the great proportion
of the labor of dressing out the young
plants will be done previous to planting
the seed. This kiud of management will
save a vast amount of hard labor. The
ground for turnips and Indian corn may be
treated in the same manner.
Teams require not only care in feeding,
but judicious management. And the same
is true of laborers. After working a few
hours at some heavy labor, it will be a
great relief to engage in something else,
less fatiguing, for a few hours. When a
workman first begins to cut ditches, it will
be better to make fence, or engage in some
light labor, for a part of the day.
See that milch cows do not grow poor
when they come in. Every cow should
have a few quarts of roots daily ; and af
ter they have come in, feed eacli one three
or four quarts of Indian corn and peas
ground fine.
Give every brood mare the benefit of a
box stall sufficiently large for her to turn
around in, as mares often drop their colts
before the udder and teats are developed
sufficiently to indicate the termination of
the period of gestation.
Seperatc brood sows front other swine
before the enlargement of the udder ; and
make a warm sty,where the young pigs will
not be exposed to the cold winds and storms
of April. Keep a sow on a few boiled po
tatoes, skimmed milk and oat meal, prop
erly salted, and she will never devour Iter
pigs.
Let early lambs and their dams be sepa
rated from the flock and receive extra feed
till grasß appears. Ewes should not be suf
fered to drop their lambs where they will
be chilled.
Things a Farmer should not do-
A farmer should not break up more land
than he can cultivate thoroughly ; hall-tilled
land is always growiug poorer, while well
tilled land is constantly improving. A
thrifty and prudent farmer will not devote
his sole attention to the improvement of
certain fields on his farm, because the laud
is "easy to work at," and let other portions
of his premises go uncultivated, and grow
nothing but weeds, brush, bogs, briars and
stones.
A farmer should never have more cattle,
horses or other animal stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal in good
order at the beginning of winter is already
half wintered. Nor should he let his cattle
endure the chilling storms of winter in an
open yard or field, whilst a few dollars ex
pended in the way of making comfortable
stables would amply repay him in saving
of fodder, and afford a greater amount of
milk.
A farmer should never depend too much
on his neighbors for what he can by care
ful management produce on his own land.
He should not make it a common practice
to cither buy or beg fruit while he can
plant trees and cultivate them on his own
ground—nor annoy his neighbors by bor
rowing tools to work with, while he can
make or buy them. "The borrower is ser
vant to the lender."
A farmer should never be so immersed in
political matters as to neglect doing his
various kinds of work in due season, and
to snug up matters and things for winter ;
nor should he be so inattentive to polotics
as to remain ignorant of those great ques
tions of national and state policy which
will always agitate more or less a free peo
pie.
A farmer should not be continually bor
rowing his neighbor's newspaper, while he
can easily save money enough, by cur
tailliug some little extravagancy, to sub
scribe and pay for one or more of his own '
A farmer should never refuse a fair price
for anything he wishes to sell. I have
known men to refuse a dollar and a half
for a bushel of corn, and after keeping it
five or six months they were glad to get a
dollar for it. I have known farmers to re
fuse to take a fait marketable price for
their dairies of butter, and after keeping it
three or four months they concluded to sell
the butter for only two-thirds of the price
which they were first offered. "A bird in
the hand is worth two in the bush."
A farmer should not allow his wood-pile
to be reduced down to the "shorts," merely
drawing a little by piecemeal, and green at
that. lie must expect to encounter the
sour looks of his wife and family, and per
haps be compelled (in a series of lectures)
to learn that the man who provides gre 11
.wood to burn in the winter, has noi meas
ured the first rules of domestic economy.—
Xor should he employ some "botch" mason
to build his chimnies "upside down" so that
his family will be nearly smoked out of the
house, and the walls of the room become
as yellow as saffron.
A farmer should not let his buildings
look as old as the hills, and go to decay,
while he can easily afiord the means to
keep them in good repair ; nor should he
allow tattered clothes and old hats to be
stuffed in the windows, in place of glass.
If he does, he need not be alarmed if he
acquires the reputation of a mean man, or
one who tarries long where liquor is sold
by the glass.
A farmer should not be contented with
dilapidated looking fences on his farm, so
as to tempt his cattle to become unruly and
destroy his crops, while he has plenty of
opportunities and materials to make or
keep them in repair.— Working Farmer.
Cautions for those having Sheep-
The following suggestions to those hav
ing sheep, are taken from a circular issued
by the American Emigration Company,who
own over 10,000 sheep, which are scattered
among the farmers who purchased land
from them. *
1. Keep sheep dry under foot with litter.
This is even more necessary than roofing
them. Never let them stand or lie in mud
or snow.
2. Take up lamb bucks early in summer,
and keep them up until Dec. Ist, following,
wlie they may be turned out.
3. Drop or take out the lowest bars, as
the sheep enter or leave the yard, thus sav
ing broken limbs.
4. Count every day.
5. Begin grain with the greatest care,
and use the smallest quantity first.
6. If a ewe loses her lamb, milk daily for
a few days, and mix a little alum with her
milk.
I. Let no hogs eat with the sheep—by no
means in the spring.
8. Give the lambs a little "mill-feed" in
time of weaning.
9. Never frighten sheep if possible to
avoid it.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold weath
er, if you can.
11. Separate all weak, or thin, or sick,
from those strong,in the fall, and give them
special care.
12. If any sheep is hurt, catch it at once,
wash the wound, and if it is in fly time,ap
ply spirits of turpentine daily, and always
wash with something healing. If a limb is
broken, bind it with splinters, tightly, loos
ening as the limb swells.
13. Keep a number of good bells on the
sheep.
14. Don't let sheep spoil wool with chaff
or burrs.
lb. Cut tag-locks in early spring.
10. For scours, give pulverized alum in
wheat bran —prevent by taking great care
in changing dry for green food.
IT. If one is lame, examine the foot,clean
out between the hoofs, pare the hoof if un
sound, and apply tobacco, with blue vitro!
boiled in a little water.
18. Shear at once any sheep commencing
to shed its wool, unless the weather is too
severe, and save carefully the pelt of any
sheep that dies.
19. Have some good work by to refer to
at least ; this will be money in your pock
et.
How TO MAKE MANTRF.. —Every farmer
should have a good yard connected with
his stable, and it should be covered to the
depth of six inches or more in the fall,with
swamp muck, leaves, or turf, which by lay
ing in the yard during the winter, and be
ing mixed with the droppings of the cattle,
will in tin; spring be as good as common
barnyard manure. The farmer's hogs should
be kept at work making manure, for they
will work diligently, if occasionally they
are encouraged with a little corn and other
grain. Every animal that the farmer has
should lie made to assist in adding to the
manure heap. Farmers who continually
secure all the manure they can, use it dis
creetly, and exercise becoming economy,
with the ordinary blessings of Him whore
wards the diligent, will soon be able to
live in allluence and enjoy the apellation
of being called the "nobility of America,"
gained by their skill with the plow, and
their success in producing bread for the
hungry. A. KING.
Americus, Georgia.
STAGGERS IN HORSES. —Staggers is a gen
eral term applied to several diseases ofhor
ses. Mad or sleepy staggers is inflamatiou
of the brain, a rare but fata! complaint
marked by high fever, a staggering gait,
violent convulsive struggling, usually ter
minating in stupor,and treated by bleeding
full dose of physic, and cold water to the
head. Grass or stomach staggers is acute
indigestion, usually occsioned by overload
ing the stomach and bowels with tough,
hard grass, vetches, or clover,or a full meal
of wheat, or other indigestible food. It is
most common in summer and autumn ; is
indicated by impaired appetite, distended
abdomen, dull aspect, unsteady gait, and is
remedied by a full dose of purgative med
icine, such as six drachms of aloes and a
drachm of calomel rubbed down together
and given in a quart of thin boiled gruel.
Frequently clysters, with hard rubbing and
hot water to the belly, are likewise useful.
When the dullness increases, stimulants
should really be given.— British Aqrieul
turist.
To CURE CAKED UDDERS IN MILCH (lows.—
Put the animal overnight in a horse stable,
and the next morning will usually find her
restored ; if not one more night will com
plete the cure. I have never known it to
fail "cake" or inflamatiou of the udder.
SORGHUM SUGAR. —The culture of Sorghum
is making advances uow-a-days,and there
is really some prospect, that a marketable
article of brown sugar will tie produced.—
It seems from statements brought out by
the comparison of views and practice at
the recent Sorghum Conventions, that the
early cut,even unripe canes, yield the most
cane sugar with great uniformity.
To DRAW A RUSTED NAIL OR SPlKE. —First
drive it in a little which breaks the hold,
and then it may be drawn out much easier.
