FARnIEEs's CALENDER.

Indian Corn is an error TO plant
seed from States farther South. In a
cold season only The seed from colder
climate will rpen well.
Often breaking up tie surface keeps
the soil in health; for when il lies in a
hard-bound sIate, enriching showers run
of, and the saubrious air cannot enter.
Weeds exhaust the strength OF the
ground. and if suffered to grow, may be
called garden sins.
The hand and the hoe are The only in
struments for eradcating weeds: yet if
there is room between the rows for the
spade, il is well to use it.
Never keep your cattle short for few
farmers can aiihrd it. lfyou siarve them
they will starve you.
f.. 1t will not do to hoe great field for a
little crop, or to NOW twenty acres for
five tons Of hay. Enrich the land and it
will pay you for il. Better farm twenty
acres well than fo,ty acres by halves.
Drive you business before you and it
will go easily.
In dry pasture, dig FOR water on the
brow Of hills springs are more fse-
quenlly near The surface on height than
in vale.
Rain is cash to a farmer.
The foot of the owner is the best ma.
nure for land.
Cut bushes that you wish 10 destroy,
in the summer, and with a sharp ins,ru.
ment; they will bleed freely and die.
Sow clover deep; it secures i. agains,
drought.
Never plough in bad weather or when
the ground is very wet.
II is better to cut grain jasl before il is
fully or dead ripe. When the straw i'm.
mediately below the grain is so dry that
on twisting it no juice is expressed. il
ought to be cut, for then there is no far.
,her circulation Of juices to the ear. Ev
cry hour tina, il stands uncu, after this
stage is attended with loss.
Accounts should be kept, detailing tn,
expenses and produce Of each field.
When an implemen, is no longer want
cd for the season, lay it carefully aside
but let it first be well cleaned.
Obtain good seed, prepare your crount
well, SOW early. and pay very lille at
tenlion 10 the moon.
Cultivate your own heart Alright, re
membering that "whalever a i,an sow
eth. that shall he also reap" Do no
begin farming by building an expensive
house. nor cree, spacious barn ill go,
have something 10 store in il.
Avoid low and damp site fnr dwell
ling house. Build sufficiently dis,ar
from your barn and stock-yari to ayo
accidents by fro.
Kecp.noles Of all remarkable occurrer
ccs on your farms.
Good fences mako good neighbors.
