The crops in the fall will depend very much on the work of this seedtime. The plough and the harrow must be kept at work, to say nothing of the shovel and the hoe. Most of the main crops are to go in as fast as we can get at mellow soil, and clean cultivation. We ought to lay out our plans to raise fifty or sixty bushels to the acre, at least.

Farmer's Calendar. A HORSE will do as much work at hoeing corn as ten men. Run through the field with the horse cultivator once a week, and the work with the hoe will be light. Where a hill is missing, plant an early kind, or else put in two or three hills of bush beans. A few pumpkins in the cornfield will do little harm, and they are handy to feed to cows in the fall. A corn .stubble yellow with pumpkins, means a jolly thanksgiving for cattle. Soon after the middle of the month sow ruta-bagas on 13 W. rich land.
