IT is not a good plan to put off haying too late. Grass ought to be cut in the bloom, and if you wait till it is all in this state, a part of it will be sure to get too ripe. It is best to strike in now, and put the right will into chine the horse can do a good the work. With a good mapart of the mowing, and so save time and strength. The scythe can trim up around the walls and the trees. The hoe, too, must take its turn from time to time, as well as the scythe, or the weeds will gain on us. Give some thought to the plants in the kitchen garden. It will not do to let that go. The currant host of other foes are to be met. worm and the squash bug, and a Try and head them off, or they will take a large share of the When the fruits of our toil. strawberries are all picked, it is just as well to dig up the vines and set out cabbages, or round turnips, or some other crop that comes in late, and so save the use of the land. It pays best to change the bed every year or every two years, at most. Sow turnip seed where the early pease grew, and on all spots where Round turplants have failed. nips don't amount to much, to be sure, but they are a good deal better than nothing. eve 1876.

Why not take hold, when the hay time is over, and drain the swamp, let off the water, and grass? Too much water makes so put it in a state to raise good bad work. The muck you take out of the ditch will pay a part of the cost, for it is good to put and to mix in the compost heap. on to the dry and sandy plains, Muck in a light soil gives it more power to take in and hold the rich gas that floats in the air, and that is added to it in the dung from the barn. Muck is good to make a mulch for the pear trees. On some kinds of land it is worth all it costs to get it out, and more too. Plough land where the pease came off, and sow on round turnips the first of this month. Grass seed can be sown as we get on near the end, and if the ground is moist it will take well, and get a strong root before the cold sets in. Cut and cure millet for hay about the middle of the month. |
