Farmer's Calendar. It is a good time now to seed down land to grass. On an avcrage of years fall seeding is better than spring. To be sure, we cannot be certain of success at any time, but the danger from a drought is greater than that from winter-killing. If grass seed is sown early, so that it has time to root strongly before the cold weather, it will yield a good crop the next year, and we gain time. As a matter of choice, August, perhaps, is better, but the ground is often too dry, then, for seed to take well. For mowing lots sow only those grasses together that blossom at the same time. Orchard grass, June grass, and clover, blossom very early. Perennial rye grass blossoms nearly as early, and may be mixed with them. Timothy, red-top, and some others, blossom late, and they go together very well. If early and late grasses are sown together, the former flower and die before the latter are fit to cut. If we cut early, the crop will be light, because the late grasses are not ready. If we wait till the latter come on, the crop is worth less, because the early grasses are past their prime. Cut all grasses while in the blossom, if you can. The hay crop lies at the basis of all our prosperity in farming. 1875. OCTOBER, Tenth Month. Astronomical Calculations. Days. d. m. Days. d. m.

DIGGING potatoes, harvesting corn, and picking apples, come this month. Then there are the great yellow pumpkins. There is a joy in the work of the fall that the labor of no other season brings with it. In the spring it is a long time to look ahead. We plant and sow in faith and hope; now we see the end in the full fruition. Besides, the air is clear and sparkling, and sends the life bounding through every vein, and the Indian summer is the perfection of our northern climate. There is work enough left to do on the farm, to be sure, for the team is strong and fresh for the plough, and the fall is the best time to break up. there is an old run-down field, If that cuts less than a ton to the acre, put the plough in deep, turn it over flat, and let it lie till the spring. Put on the harrow or the horse-hoe every ten days, till the middle of June, and then sow Hungarian grass seed with a light top-dressing. This is a partial summer fallow, keeps partial down the weeds and the couch grass, and mellows the surface. By the twelfth of August you can cut two or three tons of fod der, as good in quality as the half ton you cut summer. It has cost but little, and it gives a fine variety for winter feeding. 307 3 W. 635 4 51 10 1650 165 D First Quarter, 6th day, 5h. 7m., morning, W. Full Moon, 13th day, 4h. 46m., morning, W.
