from the 15th to the 20th, on a

and if they have any care they
will give a crop that will feed
many a cow through the early
winter, and save hay and grain.
Horses thrive on swedes, as well
as other stock. Sow millet, or
Hungarian grass seed, about the
middle of this month, on warm
soil, with some fertilizer as a
dressing, and you can cut two
tons of good fodder by the mid-
dle of August. Put the scythe
in early. Take time by the fore-

Farmer's Calendar.

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 the work. With a good ma

chine the horse can do a good

part 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 worm and the squash bug, and a host of other foes are to be met. Try and head them off, or they will take a large share of the fruits of our toil. When the 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 with thunder. turnip seed where the early pease 28 Fr. 27th. Duncan, Sherman & Co., the well-grew, and on all spots where

Farmer's Calendar.

SWALE grass does not make the best of feed for cows, and yet we keep on with it year after

year, as if it were the best in the barn. If there are roots to go with it, the dry cows can live through the cold months; but we are apt to give them too much of it, and bring them out in the spring the worse for the wear. Why not take hold, when the hay time is over, and drain the swamp, let off the water, and so put it in a state to raise good grass? Too much water makes bad work. The muck you take out of the ditch will pay a part of the cost, for it is good to put on to the dry and sandy plains, and to mix in the compost heap. 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.
