Jtgriroltural. Work for April. TtUage. —The preparation of the .soil for the seed is the important work for this month. Manure is to be hauled and spread, and the ground is to be plowed. The waste of ma nure which occurs after it is spread is very little in weather which will not allow plowing.and not very great in full,hot sunshine, if it does not lie long. It is much worse to dump the manure iu small heaps and leave it for some time exposed to the action of rains, for the goodness washes out into the soil and enriches it in spots, to the serious damage of the crop. Plowing aud any other working of the soil should never be done when the clods will not crumble. Dryness is essential to useful tillage. It is much better to delay work than to leave the land lumpy and hard. There are many spots on which Draining may be done in the spring —especially where there is a good lull, aud work may progress from the outlet. The necessity for drainage is now obvious,and though partial drain age is never to be recommended where thorough work will be undertaken,yet as a demonstration ol the fact that •'burying crockery" will pay, it is worth while often to try the experi ment "just to see." Remember that the full effects of draining are often not witnessed until the third or fourth season. Spring Grains. —Prepare seed by selecting with the fan-mili the heav iest grain—the more times it is fan ned, the better will be the seed ; then, when the soil is nearly or quite ready, prepare the seed by pickling to de stroy the seed of smut, which may be attached to it. This is useful for bar ley, and imperatively necessary for wheat. Add to a strong brine pul verized "blue stone," (sulphate of copper,) until no more is dissolved ; into this throw the grain, stir thor oughly, and after five minutes scoop it out. throw into a basket, let it drip back into the tub of pickle, then put in a heap upon a floor ; after 24 hours shovel it over,sprinkling on dry slaked lime, thus drying it. Sow sto 7 pecks of wheat, 2 bushels to of barley,2l of oats. The ground should have been plowed in the fall for wheat and barley. Oats do tolerably well on a sward plowed in spring. For all either very fine compost or some concentrated fertilizer,such as a mix ture of superphosphate of lime and Peruvian guano—say 100 lbs,of each —should be ÜBed. Sow, as a rule, those kinds of grain which are in the highest repute in your own neighbor hoods. Boot Crops. —Prepare the soil for sowing carrots, beets and mangels, and onions, the earlier the better. It should be deep and rich, plowed in the fall and as free from weeds as possible, especially for onions, which require the finest and mellowest soil, enriched with good, fine compost.— The other root crops need also rich soil, deeper than onion soil, but not less rich, though the enrichment need not be of so fine a quality. These crops can Dot be sown too early,after danger for hard freezing is passed and the soil is warm and dry enough. Beet seed ought to be soaked 24 hours. Potatoes. —At leaßt a portion of the crop should be planted very early for security against the rot. The Early Cottage, White Peachblow, Cuzco and Fluke are commendable kinds.— Riant deep,in drills 2.1 to 3 feet apart, cover with the plow. Harrow as of ten as weeds appear, until the tops show very plainly, and once after that, driving with the rows. It is sometimes well to turn furrows upon the rows to cover them a few days after this, and when a new crop of weeds appears to harrow again.— Superphosphate,castor pomace,leach ed or unleached ashes are good used iu the drill. It is usually poor prac tice to plant in hills. Flax. —Sow on very mellow soil, i'ree from weeds, one and a half bush els per acre, (for seed and lint both,) as evenly as possible. Selecting the heaviest seed, soak in warm water two or three hours, roll in gypsum and sow two ways. Cover with a brush or light harrow. Manure makes fast in compost heaps, if occasionally worked over with the addition of muck or any veg etable mold, and thus the quantity available for corn may be greatly in creased. Liquid Manure has great effect up on grass, and no better application can be made upon winter grain, though the labor attending its appli cation is considerable. A liquid ma nure distributor is a rare but needed article on American farms. In buy ing Concentrated Manures do not pur chase any because they are cheap.—■ The adultration of guano is notorious. The farmer can much better afford to mix in the sand on his own farm than to pay st>s in gold a ton for sand,and cart it a dozen miles besides. The other popular manures, superphos phate, etc., are quite as liable to adul tration, or even more so. After all, it is 1 est to make one's own fertili zers, or buy only of reliable parties. Horses. —Feed according to the amount of labor required ol them.— Groom daily and thoroughly. Give air and sunlight in the stables, feed and water regularly, blanket only when exposed alter labor. Or en. —Warbles,, or grubs in the back, often become very obvious at this season and later ; destroy such as show their heads. We have never known of harm to result from killing the grubs by pressure or by punctur ing the skin before their heads pro trude. Feed grain if hard worked, and do not neglect carding regular b'- Cons and Calces. —lf allowed to iun together, it is best to put two calves upon one cow, as a rule, and to have these of different ages,so that both shall not be removed at once when fit for veal. The calves should be fed gruel besides, and some veal raisers allow them free access to dry corn meal, or better, linsoed-cake ineal, aud corn meal mixed. Sheep. —Give ewes and lambs the attention they require at lambing time. The flock should have the per sonal supervision of the owner. Give, if possible, shelter of some sort, and at least keep the flock of ewes as near as possible to tltc house and closely watched. Distribute the lambs among the ewes having most milk, not necessarily leaving twins with their own dams. ORCHARD AND NCRSKRT.—Assuming that the land for the new orchard has been plowed and subsoiled, and if need be, drained, and that the needed trees have been ordered. Planting may be doue as soon as the trees come to hand. Do not leave the roots exposed any longer than necessary, aud if planting can not be done at once, cover the roots with earth. Trim mutilated roots, shorten the tops and,at the same time, remove useless branches. Do not plant too deeply ; make a broad opening for the roots, spread them in a natural position, cover with fine soil, press it down firmly with the foot, and the tree wili not need to be staked to keep it in position. Shrivelled Trees are to be buried, root and branch, until the bark be comes plump, aud those that have started in the package, must be cut back severely. Old Orchards are often brought in a state of fruitfulnese by generous manuring and cultivation. Grafting may be carried on as soon as the buds begin to swell. It is bet ter to wait for the first indications of life in the tree than to do it earlier. Cious may be cut if the buds have not started. Root Grafts should be planted in nursery rows as soon as the soil is in proper condition. Seeds and Pits, for raising young nursery stock, are to be sown as ear ly as possible. Peaches that have been buried in heaps, should be look ed to. If they were dried too long before they were put with earth,they will need to be carefully cracked. Insects. —Continue to destroy eggs, and usb the soap wash heretofore reccommended. When protectors are used to stop the ascent of the Canker worm, see that the tar, oil, or other adhesiv material is properly re newed. FRCIT GARDEN. —Planting, grafting and general care of trees in the fruit garden is the same as for those in the orchard. Only dwarf trees are in place here, aud they should l>e mod els of health and fruitfulness. Those who wish to try at the different meth ods of training, should consult Rivers' Miniature Fruit Garden. Figs may be ripened in well shel tered gardens, but they must be ta ken up and wintered in the cellar, or be laid down and well protected with earth. Quince, so beautiful whether in flower or in fruit, may be trained to form handsome pyramids, if the lead ing branches be kept tied up to a stake. Currants should be in abundance in every family garden. They will bear under neglect, but will amply repay manuring and care. The Cher ry and White Grape are the best; there is a great confusion in names, and auy of the large fruited sorts are good. Gwseberries. —Houghton and the American Seedling are the common sorts free from mildew, and are more valuable green than when ripe. Blackberries are now considered necessary in the garden The Kittat inny and Wilson's Early are the new est sorts, and both good. Dorchester and New Rochelle are older sorts. Raspberries. —New varieties are so I numerous that it is difficult to say ! which is best for general cultivation. The finest sorts all need covering in winter The Black-caps are hardy and popular. Grapes. —Plant strong one or two year old vines on well drained soil, allow only a single cane to grow the first year. We have given consider able space of late to the discussion of the leading varieties. A garden of considerable extent should contain several of the standard sorts. Strawberries. —Remove the mulch from over the crowns, but leave the ground covered. Set new beds as soon as the soil can be worked. For garden culture, beds 4 feet wide are the best; one row of plants in the centre and a row 18 inches from it on each side. The plants may be from a foot to 18 inches iu the row, accord ing to their habit of growth ; the lat ter distance is none too much for the strong growing kinds that make large stools. KITCHEN* GARDEN.- Asparat/us.-Fork over the beds if not already done,and if new plantations are needed make early. Treat beds of Rhubarb in a similar manner ; both do much better when planted early before the growth starts. Beans may be planted where there is no longer danger of frost, but it is generally too early at the North.— The Early Valentine is a favorite gar den sort. Beets. —Sow in rows a foot or 15 inches apart, or, if preferred, two feet apart, with radishes between. Sev eral early kinds are better than the old Bassano. Cabbages. —Set out the plants from cold frames. Our market gardners put the rows 24 to 28 inches apart, with the plants sixteen inches in the rows, and then set lettuce in rows equil distant between the cabbages, but this economy of land is not not usually necessary in private gar dens. Harden oft the plants in hot beds by exposure. Sow seeds in open ground in drills 4 inches apart, and sprinkle with flour of bone or air slacked lime as soon as up. The Wakefield and Early York are the most common early sorts, and there are several other and newer kinds described in the catalogues. Cauliflower is planted the same as cabbage. Carrost. —Sow Early Horn in 15- inch drills, using plenty of seed to ensure a good start. Celery. —Sow in a rich, mellow soil, in drills 8 inches apart—cover lightly with soil. ('hires. —Propagate by breaking up the old clumps and setting the bulbs 6 inches apart. Cress. —Whoever would keep up.a supply of this pungent salad—well called pepper grass—should make a sowing every eight or ten days. Cucumbers may be sown in cold frames from which other plants have been removed. Next month will be early enough to start on sods under glass those to be planted in the open ground. Egg riant. —Sow in hot-bed and keep warm. They are slow to recov er it they once get chilled. Garlic— Break up the bulbs into sets and plant inches apart in rows a foot apart. Leeks. —Sow in rows a foot apart, in fine rich soil, aud keep clear of weeds from the start. grorktrt fe torilwiMit.
