From the American A~gricuhurist.
CALENDAR FOR JULY,

AS general rule for the past IL years,
/ have been able to give my cotton crop its
last working this month, some seasons the
weeds being too large to work with plows
without material injury even before the 10th.
You will find the cotton-plant to retain its
fruit, the bowls, from the time of forms being
first made, which is the future bloom and the
bowl in embryo, by being stirred frequently,
preventing in some degree the changes of
nourishment to the plant, which causes their
dropping !; and | think deep blowing early in
the season will be a prime aid in this thing.
| therefore run my surface plows and cultiva-
tor. Sc, as late as ! can, and not to. iniure
the plant, by breaking its limbs. Ii weeds
and grass should spring mp after this, there
will be much gain to the succeeding CROP to
cut them out with the hoe, in order to pre-.
vent their seeding.
The blades from the early planted corn
can be stripped now for fodder--better to
lose a portion than pull too early. Let the
shuck. or husk on the ear change from the
greento the whitish cast. then tie a handful
or SO. to itself, and. thrust the end of the tie
between the ear and and stalk--L object to
breaking dewn.the corn-stalk. This will re-
quire more time to strip the blades, but in,
the end you will gain, as it can be got in
sooner if a rain threatens, or if caught in a
rain, it is not injured so much. Cure it welh
before stacking, same as pursued with oats.
Late corn will need blowing now, plant peas
also in it, even if you have a good stand of
pumpkins, they will repay cost Of seed by
their benefit alone as manure,

WARS IN NAME Party tactics
are described in the following quotation
from a pamphlet written by Oliver III.
Smith, late U. s. Senator from Indiana.
s'Names are all powerful Ii political con-
tests. Well do tie leading modern Dem
ocrats know the force and truth ofthis re.
mark, and hence they not only hold ON to
the respectable name ofDemocrat, but with
one voice they stamp their oppohents with
the name Of Fsderalists, and their meas.
ures as Federal measures. They abandon
and adopt measures themselves at plea.
suye--at one time fof a national bank, at
another against; at one time for the pet
bank system, at another against it; at one
time for the Issues Of State and Ltal banks;
at another against all bank paper; at one
time for Treasury notes, at another for
specie; at one time Cor distribution, at an:
other against it; and still they are demo-
Gratis, and each meosstre, while they support
it, is democratic, but the moment hey
abandon 1t for some new expedient. it be.
comes a Uae Federal measure, all who
support it are Federalists.

The SLEEP OF rLANrs.-'The sleep of the
vegetable differs from that of the animal, that
1t Is not caused by exhausted powers-but,
when light, which acts as a stiInulous, is with
drawn, then the. stalks of compound leaves
hand back and fold their leaflets together, or
the leaves droop over the flowers, or cover the
fruit SO as to shelter it from the cold dews.
This is termed by Lineus the sleep of plants,
and said by him-to be analogous to the action
of spreading their wings, by which some birds
do shelter their young during the night. It is
generally thought that Linneus' term is some
what hyperbolical-but that the cessation of
the stimulus of light, and the constrained po-
sition of the flower and foliage may be advan-
tageous to the vegetable constitution in q way
similar to that in which it is beneficial to the
animal system. Sir James Smith remarks,
that as the infant requires a fuller measure Of
sleep than is needed by the man, so the young
plant is more thoroughly closed during the
night than the oldest one.

ON RAISING pucKs.-Young decks are very
tender, and many are lost by their being ex.
posed to water in their early age. If ducks
are only allowed water enough TO drink, and
that under such arrangement that they cannot
get into it, until they pass their tender age,
say till six or eight weeks old, much better
success would doubtless attend this business.
Large numbers have been raised without wa
ter to swim in, and care was taken to keep
them dry, and they have had no diseases, and
the losses have been small, scarcely any dy-
ing unless by accident.
We are aware That some are opposed to
this ~practice, and will name instances in which
they have allowed young ducks To- run in wa
Ter, and yet they have been remarkably sue.
eessful, raising all that were Matched. But
az some have had much the best success in
raising without water, and have made expert
ments on an extensive scale, raising 800 or
700, their opinions are entitled to much re-
spect, and more experiments should be made
spn the dry plan. VIII our readers, who try
it, let us know the result!
Ducks should have a liberal share of ami
NAL food, of which they are very fond, and
their principal object in going into water
seems to be to obtain this kind offood, as they
are constantly searching for il. Frogs, cut or
spounded fine, are very acceptable food and
st nothing but a little trouble in catching
them. Some will say that it is wicked to kill
the poor harmless frogs. Do such consider it
right to kill the innocent calves and lambs to
CRAFTY their own appetites, or to encourage
the butcher in his work of destruction,

The CRops.-The very nature of the
weather is convincing the denizens Of our
large cities, that the cotton and sugar
crops mast, inevitably come out slim this
year. Their conclusions are verified by
the most unpleasant facts. In many
the young crop is drowned out, in
others washed out, in others the rust is
eating it up, while from the cold, wet
spring we had, it is almost every where
