WHAT we need more than anything else on the farm is to look out for the forage crops. We have grass and hay, to be sure, but when the dry weather comes and the sun runs high, the grass is apt to dry up, and we must do all we can to help it out, and give some kind of feed to go with it. There is no crop for this use equal to green corn, if it is grown as it should be, not too thick, with air and sunlight to ripen it as it ought to be. We are apt to cut it too soon, and use it when it is not

Farmer's Calendar.

WHEN I was a boy we didn't use to put in the scythe till after the Fourth; but they do things better now, and it shows that the world moves. It was a long pull, too, and the haying was apt to drag; but now it comes by the middle of June, and is put through, just as it ought to be, while the grass is sweet and full of heart. The cows do

first-rate on it, and come out a great deal better in the spring. Some folks give them a few roots every day and a little oil

meal, and take great pains to
keep up a good flow of milk,

and I notice that such farmers
They
are apt to be thrifty.
look sharp to the wastes on the

farm, and make everything tell.

Let us take a lesson from them.

Keep down the weeds. A day's work at them when they are small is worth two when they get ahead of us. Millet sown the first of this month will be fit to cut for hay by the time .the frost comes, though it would

have been better to sow it two

weeks ago. If the crop of hay is short, plough and sow a wide breadth of it now. Grass ought to be cut just as it comes to the bloom. A few kinds, like herdsnow is the time to take them grass and red-top, are late, and to make the best of hay.
