WORK FOR JUNE.
TIE PLANTATION.

Continue to plant corn at all favor
able opportunities, plowing up deeply |
a few acres after every rain. and put
ting it INTO the ground in the best
manner. Ourselves and many others
in various parts of the country, made
very fir crops last year after the "lat-
t,.r rains CT June and July-but the
sooner you plant now the better
After the first hoeing, give your corn
top dressing of GYPSUM Ashes, and
S4lt-10 plrts of the first, 4 of the
second, and l Of Salt. 1t will be Of
great benefit IN dry season, and no
injury at any time Work your early
Corn as often as possible, giving the
roots q deep mellow bed in which to
extend themselves, and leaving the
surface level and well pulverized.
Plant plenty of Cow Peas. Plant,
also, plenty of Pumpkins among your
Corn, or in a separate patch. Mich
COWS and hogs relish them greatly, and
they are quite fattening when boiled
with meal or bran.
Cotton viii need constant and I'M
remittiug attention during the present
month. Scrape and mould the plant
as soon as possible; keep the weeds
down, and the ground in state of fine
@tilth."
Sow, in the drill, in your richest
land, large quantities of Corn and
Millet for fodder. Sweet Potato slips
should be transpIanted now as soon a:
possible. Dip the root in a thick bat
t=r-made by stirring fine leaf mould
and scrapingS from the cow pen int
water-plant them pretty deep, ana
shade the ground around them with ;
few handfals Of leaves, and they vii
Ggrow OFF, finely, even in thirsty wea
ther. Just before shutdown is the bos
time fer this operation with slips.
Wheat, Oats, and early Millet may
now be cut and stacked up CAREFUL,
on platform of rails raised severa
inches above ground, OF, which is still
better, put under cover Immediately
THE KITCHEN GARDEN.
! Little Can be done the presen
month in the Garden with the excep
ton of mulching, wedding and water
ing Mulch eyerything-trees, shrubs
vines and notwithstanding tht
surface of the earth, as far as the root:
extend, with four or five inches Of pine
straw, chip mould, spent tan, sawdus
orlorest leaves-and you will find tha
trees and plants thus treated grow
much faster, and receive little or NJ
check from the long continued drouth:
of midsummer. Water should nov
be freely applied and regularly applied
to all your growing vegetables, in the
manner heretofore directed-leayiDs
no moisture exposed on the surface
to the suns baking rays. This is al
excellent time to attack the weeds
and you must show them no quarter
Cut them down and let them die OF
the surface; OF, dig them up, and burr
them, root, branch, and seed. SEEDS
OF Cabbage, Caulihower, Celery, etc.
may be sown under low arbors, made
of brush and pine tops, in order t.
shelter them from the fierce rays O
the sun. Water often, until the plant.
are well up, when liquid manure may
be used alternately with the water
from time to time. Plant a full CROP
of OEra, without delay. Plant Peas
and Sweet Corn and Snap Beans, for q
succession. Transplant Tomatoes
Cabbages, early Celery, etc. etc. and
prick out Celery, Cauliaowers and
Broccoli. Pinch off the leading shoots
Of your early Tomatoes, Lima Beans
Melons and Cucumbers, if you want
the fruit to set early; and give the
plants liquid manure, if you desire
large specimens. Strawberry Beds
must be kept free from weeds, well
mulched with leaves or "broom straw -
and freely watered in dry weather.
If you desire fruit, cut off all the rum
ners as they appear, and keep cool
and moist. Buff you wish to increase
your plants, the mulching may be dis
pensed with, Except Immediately
around the plants,) and the surface
must be kept clean, open and mellow.
