SHELLEY.

Farmer's Calendar.

THE farmer whose tillage land is on a lower level than a neverfailing stream of water which

he has a right to use for irrigating his growing crops, is very fortunate, for to him the dry seasons need have no terrors. He is all right, if he has the snap to take steps to make the most of it, for, while his neighbors will have short crops, he will have the best, and he can sell at high prices. A great deal can be done to ward off the injury of a drought by the frequent stirring of the soil at the surface. The dry earth at the top acts as a mulch and prevents the rapid evaporation of the below. Look

moisture from

sharp after the potatoes or the striped beetles will strip off all

the leaves. A little Paris green, at the rate of a teaspoonful to two gallons of water, will clean

them off. The water must be

kept stirred at the time of the application as the mineral does

not dissolve and would settle to

the bottom if allowed to stand. It may be mixed with plaster of Paris and put on dry. It doesn't do to be careless with this poison. Keep it out of the reach of children and away from plants that are to be eaten uncooked.

SHAKESPEARE.

Farmer's Calendar.

DON'T let the weeds get the upper hand these hot days. Of all the months in the year this

is the best for the growth of Weeds, and the time of all others

when it is the most difficult to kill them. When they get several inches high, which they ought never to be allowed to do, they should be pulled and taken off from the field or they will be sure to grow again. Clean culture for the whole season is by far the cheapest in the end, for

land once cleared of weed seed

can be tilled with half the work. Keep the wind-fall apples picked up clean, and so steer clear of

the codling moth and the worm that does so much mischief. Some turn the pigs into the orchard and let them eat all they can find. Being very fond of apples, they pick them up so soon after they drop that in a few years the apples will cease to be wormy. Milch cows will need a little extra feed, night and morning, as soon as the feed out in the pastures begins to dry up.

THE County and State Agricultural Fairs are now in order,

and we cannot afford to ignore farm products and take them to

them. Pick out the best of the

own wares with those of others
who are engaged in the same
pursuits. We shall be very apt
to find that there is something
that we have yet to learn, and
that there are some folks who
know a thing or two as well as
we.
In picking out a lot of
fruit for exhibition, it is well to
bear in mind that it is quality
and form, rather than size, that
will take the prize. The largest
overgrown specimens of fruit
and vegetables are often mere
monstrosities whose quality is
quite inferior. It is a bad plan
to let potatoes lie in the ground
after the tops are dead. The
rule is to dig them at once
and store them in a cool place,
or to sell them direct from the
field. A quick sale is, on the
whole, the best. Let others take
the risk.
