HINTS ABOUT WOBK.
Hushes and Weeds. —August is a season
for the most effective and deadly onslaughts
upon weeds and bushes. The nature of
most weeds is in the first part of the seas
on to make tops, and afterwards to concen
trate their energies either upon the produc
tion of seed or maturing their roots, so as
to live through the winter. If cut in this
dry hot weather, it is usually certain death.
Even Butter-and-Eggs ( Liniara ), that most
showy and detestible of weeds, is some
times killed by thorough-hoeing up in an
August drouth. As for bushes, once cut
tin- up, and then letting the sheep browse
off the young shoots, will make an end of
the worst, even wild roses, or blackbeny
bushes Do not let any weeds go to seed.
The season has been p .rticularly favora
ble to crops of weeds, and without proper
dilligenee it will take years to do away
with the harm that may be done, if they
scatter their seeds.
Seed Grain. —Look out early lor a good
supply of clean plump seed, especially tor
that to be used this season. C.ean it
thoroughly from all shrunken kernels and
weed seeds by repeated winnowing.
BucJcuheat may be sowed now and make a
good mass of green manure, to be plowed
under in time for sowing rye, or for enrich
ing the ground for spring crops, and with
a chance for a crop ot grain.
Timothy sowed alone will, on good soil
quickened with a top-dressing ot bone,
guano, or any fine rich compost, usually
catch well, and sooner make a good sward
than that sown with spring graiu, or upon
winter grain in the spring.
Wheat. —If the soil be dry in winter and
in good heart now, plow early, and giving
a top-dressing of some good tine compost
or special manure, drill in the wheat. It
is poor policy to risk winter wheat on soil
which, from lack of draining barely allows
the plants to struggle through.
Oats. —Harvest before too ripe, and thus
have much better straw, more and plumper
grain. . ..
Com- It is a great temptation sometimes
to sucker corn for the sake of getting
areeu feed for cows. We do not believe 111
suekering corn at all, though with some
kinds it may have no evil effects. YV ltn
many varieties we feel sure that the suck
ers are important to secure the proper till
ing out of the tips of the ears, the tassels
coniiug into flower a little later than those
of the main stalks, the latter maturing tip
kernels of the ear. are thus fertilized, rull
weeds among corn, hut do no hoeing after
the ground is shaded.
Tobacco begins to ripen for cutting by
the middc of the mouth, if properly topped
and suckered. When about 12 to 16 eaves
w-p formed, and the flower stalk begins
f rum tl.r, I „ '"r * " la f J r ofl the mass ot

even after all hoeing is done. When the
hat?ur-n V t' ir iUI! f ruWtL ' aud have
that turgid and mature look and feel, diffi
cult o describe, cut up at the roots in the
middle of the day, turn frequently till wilt
•d enough to handle without breaking, and
then hang m airy sheds.
Stacks. It liaj. <,r wv.i4.lv-.,
re-top them, building them up square and
guard against rain.
Hater. — There is no more important subr
ject than the supply of fresh and pure wa
tei liii the stock in the pasture and in the
yards, the lack of it cannot be made up by
tbe best of feeding and other care. It is
very bad to be obliged to drive cattle far
lor water. Young calves and cuttle are
often seriously stunted by a short supply
of water in August.
Weaning youny Animals.— Colts, lambs,
and calves, left to take their regular allow
ance of milk naturally, should be weaned
about this time, say when 3or 4 months
old. The colts being put in enclosures
away from their dams, and allowed to suck
at first twice a day, then once a day, then
less often, and finally once a week for once
or twice, thus they will be weaned quietly
and without falling off in flesh through run
ning to and fro in their anxiety. Lambs
must be weaned abruptly, and to make it
easier for both parties, separate them be
yond the sound of each other's bleating
leaving the lambs in the old pasture. Gi\°e
the ewes very dry feed, and milk those
whose udders appear distended and tender.
Put two or three old tame ewes or weath
ers with the lambs as leoders, and to make
them manageable. Calves are very easily
managed, being allowed to suck only while
the cow is being milked, and that but once
<i day after a lew days. Hie milker can
restrict the allowance of milk that the calf
gets at his discretion.
Coics.— I se all diligence to prevent the
cows drying, giving good pasturage, extra
feed if necessary, and plenty of pure wa
ter. l'arrow cows to be fattened this fall,
should be dried off before September, and
kept in good flesh, being fed so as to be
en the gain all the time.
O.cen —Be careful not to over work and
exhaust working cattle. If put to hard
labor, feed dry hay, and bright straw with
bran upon it, in addition to what they pick
up nights in the pasture.
Horses need careful treatment, and if
kept up should have an armful or two of
grass daily, and if worked hard, cut feed
and dry hay. Cold water is perhaps the
best application for galls by the harness •
and do not forget that for all kinds of stock
Salt and l'vre Water are essential to their
health.
Sume. —Keen thorn making manure ;
weeds and all sorts of rubbish which will
decay, should be thrown on them to woik
over. Peas may be fed uuthreshed, using
sueii as may have beeu somewhat darn
aged, and thus the hogs will be in prime
order when corn is fit to feed.
Sheep. —Keep tar upon their noses to keep
oil the bot-lly, which causes grubs in the
head : examine rams about the horns and
heads and elsewhere for wounds, which
soon become maggoty if neglected. Wash
them out and apply very warm pine tar.
Poultry. —Give all kinds a share of the
daily waste, butter-milk, loppered milk,
etc. Collect eggs daily, keep in a cool
place in close boxes, set on the points, and
i>acked in Indian meal, bran, or slacked
lime, inverting the boxes every two or
three days. In the moulting season hens
cease laying. Keep chickens well fed,
and growing rapidly. Give scalded crack- !
i d corn, wheat screenings, Ilronius grains
etc., with free run for green food and in- >
wets, bee that lowls have clean and deep j
dust baths, in which a little quick lime or j
wood ashes occasionally thrown will be
latal to lice. Whitewash roots and nest
boxes.
Manure. —Employ any spare time in look- '
mg about the neighboring villages or lac
tones lor valuable refuse that will pay for
hauling. Leather scraps, woolen waste, j
slaughter house offal, horn piths, hops and
sprouts from the breweries, so. py and oily
water from the cloth factories, which may
be absorbed by muck or led out upon the
grass Save any choice Gner manure from
the bottom of compost heaps in the yard tor
wheat.
Kitchen Garden.
One should not in the enjoyment ot the
abundant products of the garden forget to
provide for next year, in the way ot seeds.
This is often thought of too late, and after
the best of the yield has been used upon the
table. We have so often insisted upon the
earliest and best for seed that it is unnec
essary to repeat it. Some kinds of seed
are best raised by large growers, but there
are many sorts that every one can as well
save for himself.
Asparagus will now only need to have the
coarse weeds pulled up. If seed is wanted,
collect it from the best plants. Some En
glish cultivators strip oft the flowers as
they appear, believing that the root will
be stronger if not allowed to bear seed.
Beans. —Plant some of the bush sorts for
salting.
Beets. —Thin and use the hoe freely. A
slowly grown beet is of poor quality.
Cabbages and Cauliflowers. — If slugs are
troublesome, use lime or set traps. Cater
pillars are easily disposed of when the lu st
hatch and before they scatter. Is< the
hoe frequently.
Carrots.— Hoe and thin, and ii young car
rots are wanted, sow the Dutch Horn va
riety. _
Celerij. —Earth up the early plants. te>et
out for latest crop. Keep that set out in
flat culture free of weeds by running the
cultivator between the rows —and towards
the middle or end of the month commence
to draw the earth up to the plants.
Corn. —Select the finest and earliest ears
for seed. Destroy the worm that feeds on
the silk.
Cucumbers. —Gather for pickles when ol
small size. ,
Egg Plants.— Keep the fruit from the
ground by putting a handful of hay or straw
under it. If holes appear in the leaves,look
under for caterpillars.
Endive— set out plants a foot apart cacti
way. Tie up the older ones to blanch.
Herbs.- -Continue to gather as they come
into flower. Dry and put out of the way ol
dust. . ,
Lettuce. —If sown during hot weatner,
should have the benefit of partial shade.
Melons.— Remove those set too late to ri
pen. If a vine is allowed to carry only
three or four melons, the fruit will be all
the larger and Gner.
Onions. —When a majority of the tops faf
i over, commence harvesting. If the onions
are to be stored for winter, dry thorough
" Fotatoes. —Leave those wanted for seed
until ripe. . .
; -1 "--j- —,ra.v be sown, especially tin
as suggested last month Savo' t V
!£te- Utlh "™"'^vL t s S:
lrolS"s°S~D ""ti f""*''. Sowing tipo
the surface, and if used often, will keep
down the weeds.
Fruit Garden-
Iu the rapid ripenings up of small fruits
Ulow none to go to waste. Raspberries
•urrants and blackberries may be preserved
n any kind of bottles or jars, with mouths
barely wide enough to admit the fruit. Dry
ng may also be resorted to.
]>! at Lberries. btop the growth of rampant
vanes at a convenient liight, else they will
?row out of reach and bear less fruit.
Dwarf Trees.— Continue to thin the fruit.
A little pinching now and then of shoots in
3lined to pusli unduly, will keep the tree in
shape.
Grapes. Provide some kind of bellows
and be prepared to use sulphur or other
dusting material. Keep tied up the trellis
or to stakes.
Lastjberri.es. —Select the young canes that
are to fruit next year, and give them the
advantage by removing ail others.
Stiawberries. —Runners may be rooted in
small pots and set in beds, where they will
bear a moderate crop next year. Keep the
runners clipped when loose culture is follow
ed.
How TO PRODUCE AICTTON.— "In the first
place I secure a good breed. That is the
most important point. The next thing is
to keep them growing, from the time they
are weaned till they are taken to the slaugh
ter-house, never allowing them to grow
poor at any season of the year. I have fed
t "J' t,ie }ia y, peas and oats they will
ea< 1 eas are better tl.an Indian corn for
making mutton. Oats furnish nitrogenous
matter for the formation of necessary mus
cle. Peas produce more fat than the same
number of pounds of cereal grain."—Ameri
can Farmer.
SPARE THE WOODPECKERS. —"As is well
known, they subsist principally upon the
larva? of the tree-beetles or bores, which
they obtain by picking holes in the trunks
■ and branches of the trees, and thrusting in
| their long-barbed tongues and drawing the
i vernnn from their lurking places. Some of
| these woodpeckers have at times been re
garded as injurious, from the fact that they
If c <:a !t -d, m some localities, sap-suckers
; from the mistaken opinion that they suck
I the sap and eat the soft inner bark of some
of the trees."
, CURING IIKNS OK SITTING. -A writer in the
-New England farmer says that he cured

the bottom He keeps them there during

I will be glad to stand on their feet.
ONIONS AND POULTRY.— Scarcely too much
can be said in praise of onions for fowls.
1 hey seem to be a preventive and reme
dy for various diseases to which domestic
fowles are liable. For gaps and inflamma
tion of the throat, eyes and head,onions are
; almost a specific. They should be Gnely
j chopped. 4. small addition of cornmeal is
I an improvement.— Oenessee Farmer.
I GATES SAGGING.—MY way of keeping gates
from sagging that are hung on hinges, is to
; take a II inch augur, bore into the post
■ that they shut against, at the bottom eor
| tier, aijd drive in a pin sharpened on one
side, the rounded side up, and in such a
position that the weight of the out end of
thagate will rest on the pin instead of hang
