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. 213 214 215 1 M. 4 367 2 Tu. 4 377 114 220 ○ Full Moon, 3d day, 3h. 40m., evening, E.

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. 27 Sa. 28th. 6 h, runs low. Once let them fall off in the flow 28 B 12th Su. af.
