From the lfaltiuiove American Farmer. Farm Work for the Month. With tite opening of spring, as the witi'ijy weather clears up, and April winds dry off the ground, everything must be put in motion, and nothing omitted lrom the necessary prepara tion to make a fair start, and keep pace with the movements of thejsea suu. The first great work of the year's operation is Plowing. —This embraces the prop er breaking up of all sod-land,and all such as may be prepared for seeding down to grass for two or more years. It is to be borne in mind, constantly, that it is not nn re cropping and its results that we were aiming at, but progressive and lasting improvement, and that of this, the very foundation is good ploughing—a thorough break ing up, of that which we cultivate, and breaking from such a depth as will continually increase the bulk of terti lined soil. Below the very deep est we have yet reached, there is a lower depth which we need not fear to invade one or two inches farther. I ins f.r the permanent improvement ol toe laud. For the present crop,and as a point ot mere labor saving, one good, thorough ploughing is equal to three imperfectly and indifferent exe cuted. In any ordinary soil, we sliouid not be content with less than seven inch es, and the nearer we can approach twelve the better. The subsoil plough will readily break to the depth of fif teen inches. There may be soils that lorm an exception to the rule of deep ploughing, and which,from some hurt (ul property of the subsoil, need to be deepened gradually, but they are so rare, we think,as not to give any con cern iu our ordinary operations.— Where there is risk of harm the ground should be deepened iu the fall. A deep soil is the very first requis ite iur the successful cultivation of almost every crop, so very uncertain in u shallow soil, are, in a deep oue, almost insured against the vicissi tudes of the season. I'lanted in a Led ot twelve inches, our all-important corn crop, would not fail of a good yield, one year in twenty. Except on the lightest laud, three horses to plough are necessary to break sod-land properly. As ample strength ol team, as well as number as condition, is must necessary to the success of farm operations, see to it now, that any deficiency is promptly supplied. The master should bestow the most carciul supervision, to ensure that the plough, the gearing, and every other requisite be in proper order,and that his work be not slighted by the ploughman. On a tobacco plantation, the iand devoted to that crop should be the first sod broken, and broken so deep ly, that the turl shall not come again to the surface, during the after work ing. Oats and Parley. — These crops are usually sown upon such lands as save been cultivated the previous year iu corn and other hard crop,and not thought suitable for wheat. As clover seed is usually sown with them, or should be, unless under the system which wheat iollow oats, at least a hundred weight of some good superphosphate should be sown on the surface in immediate contact with the clover seeds. Sow at the very earliest time that the ground may be in order, ploughing in the seed with a liht furrow. Then sow immediate ly, clover and grass seeds and the fertilizer, and follow with a lieavv roller. Clover Seed on Wheal Fields.— lt clovei seed has not yet been sown on wheat fields, wait till the frost is out of the ground, leaving it cracked and open, then sow and follow with rol ler. This implement will cover the seed sufficiently, and be very benefic ial to the wheat. Six quarts of seed to the acre is not all too much. It is a wasteiul practice to put this costly seed upon land not properly prepared tor it, hut otherwise no price would justify its omission from an ordinary rotation of crops. Orchard Crass. —Sow seeds of this valuable grass at the same time that clover seed is sown, and put it in by the same operation ; this is the best of the grasses adapted to our soil and climate, when a strong and per manent sod is wanted for grazing, as well as for a crop of hay. It makes good hay, little inferior to timothy if not allowed to get too ripe. It starts very early in spring, endures drought well,grows late in fall, makes a large alter math, and bears close grazing, indeed, makes the better pasturage by it. It is fit for the scythe at the same time that clover is, and the two should be sown together. A bushel ot seed to the acre is the usual quan tity, sown with other seeds, hut two bushels is not too much to ensure a thick sod. It is too expensive, how ever. tor seediug in an ordinary rota lion ; but where hay and pasturage is needed for a succession of seasons, it is iudispensible. \ EOETABLE^GARDEN. — We hope soon to have arrived at the most favorable time of the season for seed sowing, and upon the right use of it will de pend, in a great measure,the success of keeping up a plentiful supply of vegetables for summer, fall and win ter use. Those who have not yet commenced to make hot beds for the sowing of tomatoes, peppers, Ac., should lose no time in doing so, and whenever the weather is favorable, and the ground in good condition,' preparation should be made for the planting, sowing, Ac., of the main ciops ot earl}' spring and summer vegetables, much has been said of artificial manures,of unfavorable sea sons, blight, mildew, Ac. Hut we in cline to think the grand secret lies in the proper preparation of the soil, more particularly in sub soil and ef fective drainage. Manures of what ever kind applied to land in an ill - di ained condition, we think, is very frequently the cause of disease, and the crops become the prey of insects, i Aywagus Beds.— Asparagus beds should be lightly forked over and dressed with salt,at the rate of about one pound to the square yard—sow seeds for new beds. Cal/baye. —Crops of all kinds,unless previously removed, will now begin to cumber the ground, and should be removed at once, if there is any fear of the supply running short until spi nach and kale comes in. Plant the best < t the old stalks in a border bv themselves, and they will produce a few good dishes of tender greans— Sow seeds of brnssel's sprouts, Scotch kale, and savoy, for fall use. Sow also early york and Winingstead cab bage on a slight hot bed or warm bor der. Soou as the ground is in good condition plant out cabbage from the fa ; l sown beds. Cavlifloicers. —Caub'flowers under glass, will be growing now that the weather is milder. Remove the lights in warm weather, and give thetn the benefits of warm showers, but cover up at night when there is any danger of frost. Towards the end of the month prepare to make plantations of those which have been kept under glass during the winter—transplant those raised in heat in January and February under. Sow as directed for cabbage ; the early Paris for an early crop has succeeded best with us. Celery. —Transplant the early sown into boxes, or on a slight hot bed,and sow for succession ; the early white and red solid we can recommend for the "Farmer." Lettuce. —'Towards the end of the mouth, some of the b .-st plants that have been wintered in covered frames may be planted out upon a warm bor der and others upon a more exposed situation ; sow for succession. The only kind we cultivate is the "Paris Silesian." Onions. —Sow the main crops as early as the ground is in good condi tion ; for very large ones we plant the small bulbs of last year, or the fall sown plants in very rich ground. The "yellow Danvers" and large red we are well satisfied with. Potatoes. —Do not neglect to plant for the principal crop early as the ground is in good working order. We prefer that the sets should be hard, dark green ; and the sprouts (should any have made their appearance) a dark purple ; we cover about four inches,so that the hoeiug and plough ing between will add to the depth about eight inches of soil. Radish. —Sow upon a warm border the early short top, and red turnip varieties. Peas. —For tire first crop, sow the Daniel O'ltourke, or Carter's "first crop." If there is any fear of the seed being attacked by the wire worm, it is an excellent plan after they are sown, and previous to covering them up, to water them well with a solu tion of spirits of tar, in the propor tion of one pint to six gallons of wa ter. Rhubarb. —Rhubarb may now be forwarded by placing hand-glasses,or boxes over it, with a little manure round the bottom to prevent the iu gress of cold winds. This plant is greatly benefitted by copious water ing of liquid manure during dry weather ; it delights in plenty of moisture and good living, now is the time to make new plantations ; choose deep, rich soil, trench deep, manure heavily, and plant good roots of good j varieties, such as Myatt's Liuu<eus,or i Salt's crimson perfection. We have i on trial upon the following grounds, j some twenty varieties,which we hope j to report upon in due time. Parsnip*. —Sow for the main crop ' on good, rich soil,early as the ground is 111 good working order ; we believe the old hollow crowned, or Guernsey, to be the best yet. Parsley. —A sowing of the doubled curled should uow be made ; clean and cultivate the ground well be tween the rows planted last summer. Spinach. —Sow ou rich soil for suc cession the round-leaved ; cultivated frequently between the rows to pre vent the giowth of weeds, ami the plants running to seed. Preparation of Whitewash- Whitewash is one of the most val uable articles in the world when prop erly applied. It prevents not only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the healthiness of all buil dings, and fences whether of wood or stone. Out buildings and fences, when not painted, should be supplied once or twice every year with a good coat of whitewash, which should be prepared in the following way : Take a clean, water tight barrel, or other suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. Slake it by pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly slaked. When the slaking has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sul phate of zinc,and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking,which gives an unseemenly appearance to the work. If desirable, a beautiful cream color may be communicated to the above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow ochre ; or a good pearl or lead color, by the addition of lamp, vine of ivory black. For fawn color, add pounds of umber—Turkish or American, the latter is the cheapest —one pound Indian red, and one pound common lampblack. For com mon stone color add four pounds raw uinber and two pounds lampblack.— This wash may be applied with a common whitewash brush, and will be found much superior both in ap pearance and durability, to common whitewash. ORNAMENT FOR THE PARLOR— An ex change says : Suspend an acorn by a cotton thread so as tS nearly touch the water iu a glass vessel, a hya cinth glass is perhaps the best ; set upon the window or mantel, and let it remain for eight weeks, more or less, without being touched, except to supply the evaporation of the wa ter, and the acorn will burst, and as it tLuows a root down into the water, a spout or stem will shoot upward, throwing out beautiful leaves, thus giving you an oak tree in full life and health within your parlor. DUMPLIXGS WITH PORK.— Put on to boil any required quantity of water, put into it a lew slices of salt pork ; to this add a quantity of potatoes.— Let these boil a few minutes, then drop into the mixture a few small round dumplings made of raised dough, season with pepper,and serve immediately. If preferred, a small piece of butter may be added. APPLE PUDDING.— Six or seven large sized apples, chopped fiue in a chop ping tray—one quart of milk, four eggs. Make a thin batter ; just be fore putting iu the oven, add the ap ples. Have a hot oven, and eat with sauce, with a little brandy or wine iu it. (frotkeni & ffltrclianimr. Q ROCKERY STORE.
