Hints About Work.
Plan* for the 3lonth. —We shall all
accomplish double the work, if it be
well laid out, and it will be better
done.—"What do we want done?"—
"How and when shall we do it ?"
Let lis make a list of the things we
want to do most, and then see how
last we can cancel them off as done.
Hired Lal>or. —lf a farmer does not
hire any labor now, let it be his aim
t- employ as many men as he profi
tably can, and make arrangements to
do so as soon as he can. Hired men
are often very disagreeable associ
ates, and the worst companions for
ime's children, but this need not be ;
lookout at once for good, steady,mor
al men,and sacrifice the profits of the
farm rather than have a vicious, bad
fellow about,though his work be nev
er so needed. If we do our part to
make the men comfortable and do
them good, few will ill reward it.
Bui/dings. —The winds will find out
any insecure weather boards and
shingles, and play mischief with the
exposed hay stacks aud with thatch
ed roofs, Have nails aud hammer at
hand ; stop leaks ; see that door and
shutter fastenings are secure,and that
board fences, posts of which are loos
ened by the frost, are not prostrated
by the wind.
Cellars. —Over-haul the roots, put
them in bins or boxes, or make fresh
heaps of sound ones only ; clean out
cellars,air and white-wash ; stop rat
holes with coal tar and mortar, said
to be rat-proof.
Draining. —While the frost is com
ing out of the ground, and the soil of
plowed side-hills is liable to slide,look
to it that no water finds its way upon
such spots, or great damage may en
sue. Open surface drains with the
hoe, pick, or mattock, so that surface
water may flow off upon sward ground
or where it will not wash off the soil.
Such water from cart paths, roads,or
plowed fields brings with it, upon the
meadows and pastures, a wealth of
enrichment,not to be lost. The advan
tage of
Irrigation can hardly be over-esti
mated. If a brook can be turned to
to flow at will (your will) over a
piece of meadow, even in the crudest
and simplest way,by all means try it,
and then profit 1 y experience to ex
tend the system,or rather,profit by the
experience of others and use the best
system.
Grain Fields are especially liable
to injury from washing, and surface
draining on them should be kept free.
Top-dressings of plaster, bonedust,
superphosphate.guano, fine low-house
compost, home-made poudrette and
such things are applied with great ad
vantage at this season.
Clover and Grass Seed may be sown
on winter grain ; best on a still day,
after a light snow, which may have
fallen on frost-cracked and thawing
ground.
Plowing should be done as soon as
the grouud is dry enough,but not one
hour before ; better wait a week or
two than compact the soil, so that it
will dry into hard clods, which will
last for months.
Peers may be sown as soon as the
ground is dry enough to plow well,
often in March, in this latitude ; they
may be sown broad cast, alone or
mixed with oats, or in drills. On
warm, early spots the drill culture
may be reccommended. The soil
should be in good order for a heavy
crop of oats, and deeply plowed, then
plow shallow (4-inch) furrows, and
ii. every third furrow scatter the
peas, throwing in twelve to fifteen to
the running foot. If you have time
these may he picked for marketing
green, and if not,the crop will be ripe
enough to cut and cure,and leave the
ground for summer plowing, and
wheat, cabbages or turnips may fol
low.
Seeds. —Procure, and test the vital
ity of all seeds.
Horses m**<J very thorough groom
ing, and the feet and legs should be
washed and kept clean, long fetlocks
trimmed off,and any redness or crack
ing of the skin or heels treated with
pine tar and grease,or an ointment of
lard aud turpentine. These applica
tions are either of them very good for
chafed shoulders, sprains, or harness
galls. Blanket carefully if exposed
to the wind or cold when warm.
Working Owen. —Protect from
storms ; feed well ; use the card free
ly : impose hard labor gradually ;
have well fitting yokes, and if their
necks become tender, give a day or
two of rest, and grease the spot, rub
bing the grease well in. A wet towel
on the neck, with a piece of blanket
bound over it, kept on one night, and
the neck greased wcli the next day,
will, it s said,cure a very tender neck
between Saturday night and Monday
morning.
Cotes.—Give good care, personal
attention, and roomy box stalls to
cows about to calve. They may need
assistance, and suffer much or even
die for laok of it. If milk is worth
much the
Calces should be removed from their
dams at once, and brought up on
skimmed milk gruel. The cow mis
ses the calf least if she never even
licks it ; but we would rather she
should worry more, when she loses
her calf after a day or two, than de
prive h.-r of the satisfaction of loving
and licking it awhile.
Sheep.- - Mutton sheep may be yean
ing this month. Separate ewes and
give them warm quarters, with a few
extra roots or other feed.
Hogs. —lsolate breeding sows, give
warm pens and treatment as before
directed. Keep others at work in the
manure, giving sods,etc., to be work
ed over.
Poultry.—Give chance to run and
scratch and dust themselves. Save
eggs for setting, and make sure of a
few clutches of early chickens for
winter layers.
Field 11 url of a miscellaneous kind
there will be no lack of, get out and
earth off stones loosened by the frost.
Reset fence posts, or walls, where
needed, with spuds,spades,and hoes ;
clear out the bull-thistles, docks, and
all biennial weeds that show them
selves. Remove also any rubbish
from fields ann fence rows Open
ditches and mend roads
J/a/iurv.-Hanl out while trie ground
is frozen or after it is settled Spread
at once, whether for plowing tinder oi
for top dressing, but put it on no
spots where iiowing surface water
will wash it away, ft is best to plow
it under at once, nnless it be well
made compost,wnich will bear weath
ering
ORCHARD AND NURSERY. —Many trees
will be purchased this mouth,aud we
would give a word of cautiou against
the commou practice of ordering large
trees. A small,well grown tree with
au abuudance of small roots,is great
ly- to be preferred to a tall, much
branched one, with its large roots I
chopped off in the digging. Some of
the best western orchadists prefer
trees one year from the bud or graft,
to any other.
Heel-in at once trees that arrive be
fore you are ready to plant ; bury
their roots we 1 in a sandy place, and
they may remain for weeks without j
injury.
Plant whenever the soil is ready,
taking care to first trim mutilated
roots,and shorten back the top ; plan
ting will generally be left until next
month.
Insects are always to be looked af
ter. If small cottony spots, looking j
like mould, are seeD, they are the far
too common Wooly Aphis, and for
this the best remedy is the
Soft Soap RWi, which may be ap
plied with advantage, even if no in- i
sects are visible. Make as strong as
it will work : it removes not only in- j
sects aud their eggs, but parasitic
plants aud loose bark as well.
Girdled Trees must be attended to :
as soon as the injury is discovered.— ;
Where the girdling is complete, the j
tree may often be saved by connect
ing the bark above aud below the
wound, by means of eions whittled to
a thin chamfer at each end,aud inser
ted beneath the bark. Cover with
wax or grafting clay, or simply ban
dage securely, aud put a mound of
earth around the tree large enough to i
cover the wounded portion.
Grafting should not be done too {
soon. It is time enough when the j
swelliug of the buds shows that veg
etation is active. Continue to secure
cions. Cut back
Stocks budded last year, if the bud j
is sound.
FRUIT GARDEN.—Trees in this depart
ment will need the care indicated un
der Orchard.
Grape vines that were laid down
may be uncovered as soon as severe
weather is over. In planting new
vines, cut them back to two or three i
buds, provided the nurseryman has j
not done it before sending them. In i
any system of training, a single cane |
is all that should be grown the first
year.
Cuttings of currant, grape, etc.,are
to be set out as soon as the soil is
ready. It cannot be too often repeat
ed, that much of the success of this
kind of propagation, depends upon
pressing the soil firmly around the
lower end of the cuttings.
Currants. —Set out plants early.—
The Versailles is the best red,and the
White Grape the best white. There
are many varieties,only such in name.
Plant
Gooseberries, only the American
sorts are to be commended for gen
eral cultivation, and among these the i
Houghton is one of the most reliable.
Some of the English sorts will do for ;
amateurs to pet.
Strawberries should have the beds
all ready for them, and the plants be
set as early as they can be bad. The
Wilson is the variety still the most
generally reliable, though there art
many better sorts that succeed iu fa- i
vorable situations.
Blackberries. —The sooner they are I
planted the better. Kittatinny and j
Wilson's Early are among the newer 1
kinds, and the New Rochelle is now
so well known as to need no descrip
tion.
Raspberries, also need early plant
ing, as, like blackberries, the shoots
1 push early, and are liable to be bro
ken if they Lave made much growth.
The Philadelphia and the Clark are
two of the most promising new sorts.
| For the many older varieties of these
; and other plants, consult the cata
logues.
KITCHEN GARDEN. —Except where
glass, as hot-beds or cold-frames, is
in use, the work in this latitude is
still mainly preparatory, and but lit
tle is gained, as a general thing, by
commencing gardening operations be
fore next month. In dry or well drain
ed soils,
Plowing may be done, but only
i when their condition will admit of
thorough pulverization. Recollect
| that ground for a garden can hardly
be too thoroughly worked or too high
ly enriched.
Manure, especially if well rotted,
should be applied with a liberal
j hand ; on stiff soils, coarser manure
I may be used, aud on sandy ones, ap
| ply peat with ashes,or peat with lime,
|if at command. One of the best gar
! dens we ever worked, was so sandy
| that it would blow when dry, but by
tiie aid of muck and ashes we gained
astonishing crops. As to
Hot beds. —The novice,in the use of
glass, especially if over a hot-bed,
needs to be told of the importance of
Airing. —He will learn it after hav
ing a crop or two scorched by the
sun, but that is rather expensive
knowledge. Not only seedlings, but
plants that have been wintered and
escaped damage from cold, are now
liable to be burned ; hence,
Cold-frames will need frequent at
tention,and in the case of lettuce and
cabbage wintered over, if the plants
are properly hardened, the glass may
be removed altogether,and used over
other frames.
Seeds. —By all means order at once,
and if roots of any kind, or cabbage
or other plants, have been wintered
over for seed-raising, put them out,
the last of the month, in a dry rich
spot,and do not plant allied varieties
near each other. More attention to
seed-raising would lessen the com
plaints of bad seed. It would be a
good thiug if the members of local
clubs would each agree to raise one
or two sorts of seeds. By doing thus,
greater purity and perfection could
be attained, and each community
could raise uearly all its own seed.
I'eas should be sown early. We
hear good accounts of Carter's First
Crop, and there arc several other ear
ly ones offered. Daniel O'Rourke,
where it can be had good, is the best
known early sort.
Hoots, such as Parsnip and Salsify,
should be taken out of the ground
before they begin to grow, and all
plants protected during the winter,
such as
Sjaw h, uncovered and thinned for
ose as s<sn as it starts to grow. Sow
in a warm corner seeds (if early va
rieties of
'■'trrot, radish, cress, lettuce, and
other things according to locality and
®ercl)cmbt?t.
