Lie grouped together in some grateful shade;
Or slowly wander down the grassy glade,
To stand content, knee-deep, in glassy rills.

IT is of no use to grow bushes and weeds in the place where the grass ought to grow. should be the aim of good farming to keep them down. As soon as the grass is cut, and the hay in the barn, let us turn to and put an end to them. Here is an old wall that is choked up with not wild shrubs. Might as well get too it out of the way. It was built dry. before the mowing-machine was thought of, and it isn't just the thing for our style of work. Let us plan to till less ground and do it better. Do no more than

on what we may call the food of plants. If the land is rich, they draw hard on it with their rank growth. Now, plant-food costs a great deal of time and money. We save it under the barn; we buy it at a high cost, brought as it is from long distances, and put it on the land to grow crops. We must take care not to be robbed of it by plants that we do not want. If we have a hive of busy bees, we try to guard them against theft. Why not do as much for the crops, and keep in Aphelion. down the weeds? After haying, Showery. let us up and at them.

Farmer's Calendar.

GRASS is the great crop with us, and it must be so for all time. To with a long spell of cold weather keep cows well through the year,

which is sure to come, is the great problem we have to solve, and so we might as well bend all our plans to that. Now that the haying is over, let us see how we can lay out to cut more grass next year. More grass will keep

it the better. Stiff loam makes a good basis for a grass compost for light land; and if we add some nitrate of soda, or what is

called the Chili saltpetre of commerce, and a few German potash salts, it will pay in the end. Why not get out a lot of clay or
