June, and its Work.

June, perhaps, of all months IN which
vegetation Is growing and Is TO be tended,
calls for more care and nice attention than
any other month. The main crops have
been planted, tbs seeds have sprung into
a new existence, and presented their ten
der stems and leaves to the eye of the
cultivater, while their roots have struck
below III search OF moisture, and gathered
a firm hold to sustain the Plant in place.
These evidences O. life and progress graf
lfy the hope in which the seeds were cast
into the grocnd, and cheer the farmer Ill
his labcrS.
In June, ali the hoed crops require con-
slant attention, and their treatment during
this month will decide whether they are
to be materially benefited, or not, by at
mospheric influences. A plant, as an an
ilnal, TO grow fast and well, must be
healthy-and that health will depend up
on the circumstances under which ii Is
placed. Ii III lean, compact close soil,
Its growth will be slow, 1t VIII be more or
less Undiscovered, and look shrivelied and
old, even in June. But if it stands IN a
warm, generous soil, light, finely pulver-
lied. and porous, SO as to admit air and
heat, then it will stretch away in cheer
ful and vigorous growth, and come 10 ma
turitv III season. Plants show this differ
ence according to the treatment they re-
ceive; but thai they may assume the lat
ter form, the soil should be rich, and then
the cultivator and hoe kept in frequent
use, especially during the month of June.
Plants may derive important aid from the
atmosphere; but IN order to avail them
selves Of this, they must be vigorous and
III good health. During all their growth
they require large portions of carbonic
acid if small, hard and weak, they are
not III a condition to receive it, though it
ever floats about them, waiting to be press
ed into their service. 1t IS the food of
plants and of the whole vegetable world !;
they absorb 1t into their systems, and
whilst they retain the carbon, they emit
the oxygen, and so feeding themselves
they purify our atmosphere. The atmos-
phere, also, is continually charged with
vapor, which, as the earth becomes cooled
at night, is condensed upon it, and if the
soil be fine and porous, is taken up by it
and appropriated by the roots of the plants
There are many ways IN which plants
derive direct and Immediate benefits from
the atmosphere, provided the farmer has
done his part to place them in a condition
to receive it. After blowing, manuring
and planting, therefore, he can scarcely
be more unw-ise than to fail to give them
careful and attentive cultivation. So far
as his agency is concerned, he must see
that they have light, heat, moisture, and
seed bed in which their roots may traverse
freely, and lay hold CT the humus, or par
ticles of mould. He can furnish them
with hight, by proper arrangement Of
rows-wIth heat by an open, loose soil,
and with moisture, by proper drainage,
and stimulating manures.-New England

TURsIPs FOR MILcH Cows wish
to say a few words about this root, as
dlfter with many writers somewhat in my
estimate OF lis value. | have invariably
found them to lessen the quality of the
milk for butter-making, which is with
nearly all farmers the desideratum in
keeping cows. am satisfied that for
those who sell their milk, they may prove
good feed, as they increase the quantity
G 1slderably, but the cream viii not rise.
IT'S spring | took my turnips from the
Pr 70 feed my cows, (only two) as may
carrots were gone. | gave little less
than half bushel day, and within two
weeks they had fallen off nearly four
pounds a week in butter. but the milk was
sensibiy increased. | took the turnips
from my cows and gave them buckwheat
bran, under which regimen they lessened
IN milk and increased III butter.-As this
IS my first direct experiment in feeding
turnips, ! would not like to speak positive
~ on the point until have given them
another trial; an account of which | will
furnish you.-[C Cor. Gen. Farmer.
