Farm Work For May.

We have now come 10 the impor,an, sea
SON Of putting seeds into the soil and watch
ING their progress. May is an importan
month. May, is New England is the mOn'i
for planting. April is the usual time ,C
sow the spring grams, bu, May invites Us
to plant the summer crops and prepare fOl
lillage.
Potatoes should be planted early for they
arc not so liable 10 rot. They bear hisi
price, bu, we must save enough for plan,
ing. We still have hopes tha, the rot vii
no, appear this season, but If it should, We
may save enough 10 remureraie US a, III,
present prices.
Corn is the important crop Of the whole
country. Corn is a native and never fall
but in the cold summers. Corn is good a!
green crop, and good for keeping long OF
the ear. Corn yields more per acre thar
any crop, And is as sure TO yield well a'
the ,umips is in England.
Therefore we cannot be too careful Of this
important item in our list OF planting ma.
,erial. Seed corn requires no preparation
|, is no, ike wheat, liable 10 rust AMI smut,
and requiring thorough cleansing before
il is committed 10 the earth. The seed
should be kept on the cob till the time Of
planting. II shelled in the fall or winter
and placed in barrel or other close
cask, i, will no, vcgeiaie. But there is no
trouble with seeding when tie seed is KEEP,
free on the cob.
As 10 manurins and management there
has been some change of opinion among
farmers in this quarter within ffy years,
Many now think ,ha, in warm soils, sui
table for corn, il is better 10 spread the man
ure equally over the ground and bury il
with the plough or harrow, than pu, shov.
ell into each hill. For when the whole is
pu, in the hill there will be more c. n-s,alk
Than corn.
Beans are becoming more w 'nortani

much higher prices within few year

more Wholesome, there should be a strict a

Curious Facts in the Census.

L
|
On looking over the " Compendium OF
the Census, we discover some interesting
facts, which We lay before our readers.
The remarkable equality in tho number
Of males and females, which is said 10 ex-
ist in tho world, is s,rikingly illustrated in
atable Of the numbef Of each sex, OF which
the particular States OF their na,ivilies havo
been asceriained. The male is 6,546, 375; ;
the female 6,55s, 1886, which gives The lai-
ter about II 900 majority in an aggregate OF
10000, 900. Bu, in the total population OF
The United States, the number Of females is
about ttrmtyGfh less than that Of tho
males
These figures apply only 10 tho whites.
Among the free cOlored population great.
er difference is observable. or 434, ,495 OF
The latter, there are nearly 20, 900 more fe-
males than males.
With regard 10 The slave population, tho
numbers Of each sex are even more closely
equal than those OF the whites. The total
ei males is l,6O2 ,525 and Of females I
Col ,s7s-showing difference Of only 700
in an aggregate Of 100000.
This remarkable equality Of members in
measure necessi,aies a similar equality in
regard 10 ages, and conclusiyely settles the
question iha, women, as a general thing,
are not younger than men.
The State OF New York contains about
onc'eish'h Of the population Of the Union,
and Pennsylvania one.,enlh.
The smalla.i places IN tho UniisI States
are Harris, Es-or county, W., having a
population Of eight; Averill, in the same
county, with a population OF seven and
Liberty, in Kcokuk county, Iowa, with a
population Of five.
There are nearly 1000, 900 dwelling hou.
ses in the United States.
The number Of clergyman in the country
is nearly $4,000; tha, of the lawyers "a,
900.
The largest exclusive class Of persons is
that Of the farmers, numbering nearly .,
100000. The editors number $500; tho
artists, 1000 the butchers nearly $4,000;
and the blacksmihs nearly 100000.
In tho census report there is n total OF
abou, %, 900 churches.
There are 5000 900 OF milch cows in
lhe country. This number will afford an
average Of one COW 10 every four per.
sons.
The number Of scholars who attend pub.
lie schools is 1884 900 and those who AZ.
lend private schao!s 2G,, 600. The number
of teachers in The former is -al.0n0 ana- inv
he latter ~ -2i5U.
JbssT0lal number OF persons in the Uni
ted States. over twenty years OF age, who
canno, read and write, is nearly a million.
or these 200 900 are foreigners.
The number Of daily newspapers in tho
country is 2ji; Of weekly, nearly 1000.
A singular fact with regard TO these presents
itself. The census reports only 1900 ed-
iiors! This is me more pallid, when it
is known ,ha, i, takes several editors 10
make one paper. The fact, however, that
large numbers OF editors are also propric-
tors Of their journals, and are pu, down in
/ a.. a. I.,,. n A. a.
mer, explains the apparent incOngru.
