The crop of upland hay has been almndant and the` most important • • means of carrying the stock thrugh another winter is thus secured. The f odder corn to keep . up the flow of milk, is now coming . r into use and those who have provided a . ~..._ good supply: Of this, will find the advan tage of it. This is much better than,feed ' ing off the secohd - growth of the mowing lots. The Bass in the pastures. even if not short; is less - Aticculenti and juicy, and will yield less dlk than l it Ind in June, and there is no better sqbstitute, nor one morel easily obtal ed than corn; the use of which foifodder is extending, even in the West, II where we see by our exchanges, that the cultivation of it is, recommended. The'• grain is mostly secured, and the' crops generally throughout the country have been bountiful. But the farmer's work is not done, for:as he works not only for the ... present, but fot the future, he must not only secure the Muchharvests' f the present year, but e.- be preparing for y to com of ars the work of this inE idi and ,the next must have reference to the future: This is the best - method for ditch ing,the low lands, as they are comparatively' free from water, and far laying drains where. they are needed; also for throwing out a supply of muck for compost during the coming winter—thus manalf so as_to kill, two birds with , one stone. :Use; the muck froin the ditches for the compost heap, and thus avoid the old ditch banks that 'used, in former times, to disfigure the meadottra. The hay of the wet meadows bait been less valued of late years, especially bY the milk farmers, than formerly, and conse quently the meadows have been neglected. But such hay is - valuable, if cut hi season, for young stock, and for dry stock, and is a resource when English hay is short.. By proper ditching, much of may be. greatly improved in quality. No prudent fainter will neglect his meadow lands. But:whether the muck is obtained - from ditches or not, see that a good supply is thrown out, and placed in such `a position as to be easy of access at all seasons. There is nothing that will add so much,' and at so cheap a rate, to the compost heap—and that is so valuable to our: old and sandy soils. Nature has made wonderful provision for the wants of man,'-which.he will gradually learn to avail himielf of. She has storedup in the earth the carbon extracted from the atmosphere by vegetation in ages before man existed on earth, that he may now have a supply of fuel; ,and she is collecting the carbon extracted in modern times, in the . shape of peat and muck, that, he may have the means of increasing and continuing the fertility of the soil, to supply the demands of an increasing population. . August is the best time to cut the bushes in the pastures, and many of our old pas tures Badly need the bush scythe. Weeds continue to grow, and the turnips and beets and 7rrots and late pqtatoes must not be neglected. - The cultivator - end hoe must be kept moving. Weeds allowed to .. go to seed will not only injure the present crop, but make work for next year.. Preparation must also be made, this month for fall seeding to grass. We like to get in the seed about the last of the month, that it - may get ' well - rooted before the ground . freezes. Plow the• sod eight or nine inches deep, dram with compost, and harrow it in thoroughly, then sow the seed, and har row again, and roll, and yon will not fail to ret a good catch. Tins, practice is becom ing very general, and when done seasonably and thoroughly, it is foind to be the best way. - -. Most of the operatione to which we have :'referred above.have reference to the future. ~ The fitimer must be a man of forecast. To day is all he can 'call his own, and to-day he must work for tO-motrow, for next year, for all'eoming time—and for eternity, too. —New England Farmer. • . • 'Gathering Fruit. The appearance and value of fruit depend very much upon when and pow it. is gath ered. Strawberries, if picked carefully with half or quarter of an inch of `the stem attached to each berry,:and laid carefully into the, basket„ . will carry better, and sell ..- for a greater price than when. pulled hap hazard—some with hdlls and stems on and some with them off. Again if they are - gathered •when they are perfectly ihy; they will keep longer and retain .11 better flavor than If gathered while wet. A little water not only hastens--decay, but= it: de stroys the flavor of many delicate, soft va rietles. After being•gathered, they:should never be alloied to stand out exposed to the sun as with many varieties it takes but - - a little while of expostre to a hot, clear 'sun tedestroy their brightness Of :c010r. , : Currants Cunants should also be gathered with their stems;` they "should elsobe iffy? and all leaves thrown out. Gooseberries, if for .1 :shipment, Witold he gathered dry, *WC a careful expulifon of all leaves will cause them always• to command the best ',price. Like the strawberries, care should always be taken not to expose the m io , a-het sun -, after gathering, for such - exposure "ken gives the appearance of beirg -half cooked. Raspberries and blackberrieS are too often seen in market 'andon the table half broken and mashed. None- but whole and perfect • berries should ever go into the box or bas ket for market. -It:pays to carefully assort them before =sending to market, for the • mingling of . a few bruised or mashed berries ,induces decay and detracts ' from their value; ' lii the judgment of the' dearer. ' " ' . Cherries should never be gathered when, otherwise than perfectly 'dry. We have known them to decay entirely in twenty ' four hours when gathered while wet. It pays also with Cherries for market 'to care fully sort them over on a table, picking out any mashed or wormy or imperfect fruit be ' fore sending to market Of' - course'the i 4tems,are, or always should be, attached, al though we have occasionally seen 'them_ In market looking more like round 'cranberries than cherries. . Peaches should be left on the;trees until '- fatly ripe, and then gathered carefully with' thumb and finger and at once laid into the basket or box in which they are to be mit ' keted. If the bloom is rubbed off the peach, by rough handling, its beauty of 'appearance ;is Injured, and it will decay much sooner than if untouched. Formerly it was suP . posed that the peach must - be . gathered be fore ilpe - in order " to - shill it any distance; 'but practical experience has proven that ripe fruit, not, vita soft, will cap,- juatios,.well -sa iniripe, • and 'comtnand a much better Vice.

Hunting far the Cows. Many of • our farmers have wasted years of valuable ume jut because they did not teach their cows to wine home at night. Any one who has eVer lived or traveled in the country will remember the familiar Co-boa, Co-bos, of thefarmer's son, or hired man, - as they endeavor to coax the edws diem the woods or the tall grass in the great pastures.' We have had alittle experience in these - matters, and well remember . how =thy . -times we have waded through the brush and bog looking for the cows, and, boy-like we: thought them dreadful contrary ani mals. . Bat we have lived long enough to learn better, :and now think that the biped' was the ,- more contrary animal 'of - the two.- Boys, we will tell yon a secret that will save , you a.great deal of trouble, and it is this : Just sow a few rows of core in drills, where it will be handy to the mliktng place, and every time the cows are driven up at night, or in the morning, give each one's good asinful of the fresh cornstalks, and ; m word for it; the:cows will always be on hand at milking time. -Besides this, they will give. more milk, and forgot to kick over the- milk pail, 'even if you do whistle a little too loud. —Weekly Bun: French Method of Raising fomitote. -As soon as a cinder of flowers is visible, the stem is topped down to the cluster, so that the flowers terminate the stem..- The effect is; the'sap Is immediately impelled into the two buds below the cluster, which soon push strongly and 'produce another cluster .of flowers each; When these are visible,_the branch to which they belong is also topped down to their level; and this is done - successively. - By this means the plants become stout dwarf bushes, not aboVe eighteen inches high. In order: to prevent their falling ; over, 'sticks or strings . , are stretched horizontally along the: rows, so As to keep the plants ~erect. yln addition to this, all the laterals that have no flowers, and alter - the fifth topping; alLiaterals, what soever are nipped off. -In this way the ripe sap is iiirected into the fruit, which aequires a beality,' size and extellence unattained by other means. The trope., Once more our readers may. rejoice et. he propect of cheap bread. For the past six years witha full or "scant harvest the people have paid, prices for bread entirely disprtpbr toned• to the pries belabor. Many ceases have operated in producing and continuing this state of things, but the chief cause may be traced to "corners," combinations ,and monopolies in: the market. The wkeat; has been bought up by capitalists on tmecula don, and held till people must buy at any price or stop, eatine.. This may be easily done when the wheat harvest is limited to certain States or localities, but this year the wheat crop is splendid all over the country; wheat growing was nearly abandoned a few years ago,but the incomingcrops promise abundantly. The fields are too numerous and wide spread for -the wheat, Shylocks to enter this eesion. ABOUT 'ninety thousand mowers and reapers are annually made in the United States for thiaand a foreign market. The intelligent part of labor dispensed with in the field is, thei-efore, afforded a market at a Much higher rate of remuneration in the workshop In making machines than is real ized from the field by their introduction. Yet the aggregate amount of wages paid is greater.
