Farm Work for July,

Oh, the new-mown hay! July is the
month Of hard, busy toll, but the farmer
gathers a rich harvest from his labors, and
one altogether the most necessary in this land
of succession of frost and sunshine,
During the lowery days this month, the
farmer will not forget to stir the ground
around his corn, and "hill up the potatoes"
Sowing turnips " the 25th of July, wet or
dry" should be remembered. The corn-feld
is an excellent place for the growth of the
English turnip, if sown after the last hoeing
Buckwheat should be sown early this month !;
the bark peeled for the tanner cabbages and
turnips will be set out. The barn-yard should
be kept clear of weeds, and the manure saved
for fall drawing Remember that change
of pasture makes fat calves" Sheep and
cattle should have salt as often as every
Sabbath morning" See that cookie and other
foul stuff is pulled from the wheat field
Among the fruit orchard and currant bushes
walk often and destroy worms and cat pillars.
Beets and carrots may still be sown-and Gu
cumbers planted for pickles. Peas may also be
sown for late messes. Budding, process of
changing fruit, which all fruit growers will
understand, and which is preferable to graft
ing, and much easier and safer to the trees,
should be done this month.

THINNING OUT VEGETABLES. 1t seems a
pity to put q hoe into those luxuriant rows of
beets, carrots, parsnips and onions, that al
ready give promise of an abundant harvest.
But full two-thirds Of them must still be
sacrificed, before you can get full crop.
They are cramped for room. The carrot
sends out its roots on all sides of the main
tap, and if it have chance, will completely
occupy the soil on all sides Of it with its fine
rootlets. One root will appropriate the ali
ment in square foot of soil, much better
than half dozen, and will make greater
weight Of nutritious food at the harvest.
This is what wise cultivators are seeking for,
the most food upon the least surface.
Thin out then to six or eight inches apart,
and if you want very large specimens for the
Fairs, make the spaces foot wide. The
roots that are pulled up are excellent fodder
tor COWS and pigs, and if you throw few
into the poultry yard, they will be apprecia-
ted. Try it and see.

DIeGINd WELLS IN QUIcKsAND-How TO
MAKE A CURB.-The following from the
Michigan Farmer is simple and ingenious
method Tor the construction of the curb /:
When they came to the water, as was always
the case there on the openings, they found an
abundance Of quicksand. So to stop that
out, they went to the woods and cut a
white oak tree about three feet over, an cut
off three feet Of the butt, then marked off
about three inches thick around the outside.
and split it off into pieces like stave bolts,
being careful to number them so as to set
them up just as they grew then took them
home, set them up, hoped them together
having first champered off the outside SO as
to sharpen the lower end, then let them
down into the quicksand, little at time,
being careful to keep them in their natural
place, dipping out the sand from the inside,
and thus settling them till the top was even
with the water. Being under water, it would
never rot out, and the thickness of the slaves
would prevent them from ever moving from
their place. 1t kept the sand out perfectly
the water came in from the bottom, and, af.
ter the first six months, was as clear as the
crystal fountain.

GETTING RID OF Rocks OR BoULDERs.-
Where these are too large to drag out on
stone-boat, and yet are not absolutely I'M
movable, it is an excellent plan to dig a
large deep hole close to one side, and then
roll them into it by levers. When this can
not be done, build fire of brush and old
rails on the top of the rock, and the expan-
sion caused by the heat will soon split off
large fragments. Remove these at once,
with a crow-bar, and then renew the fire on
the remainder, and so proceed until the whole
nuisance is abated. A more sudden and
prompt effect is sometimes produced by re-
moving the fire after the rock has become
highly heated, and dashing on few pals of
water,

The calamity is said to have occupied
from first to last. but fifteen minutes. In
half an hour the hull of the steamer had
sunk. Capt. Rudolf was the last to leave
the vessel. The disaster happened at con-
siderable distance from the settled part OF
the shore, so that but little assistance could
be derived from that quarter. Had the
steamer got few yards further, she might
have landed her passengers in safety. Among
the incidents related, is that one of woman,
as she hoated on the water, found child
nesting to her bosom, though she knew not
how it came there, and though expecting to
perish herself, let it cling to her, and exer-
ted herself to save it, and both were taken
up alive the child is badly burned and nc
one claims it.
One man who never before attempted to
swim, swan on shore with little boy on his
back. The Adcertaser relates the following
affecting incident
While our reporter was looking at the bod
les respectfully dressed Scotchwoman came
to see if any of her family were among
them. On the covering being raised she at
once recognized chubby little infant, Of
four or five months old, lying as placid and
natural as asleep; but the mother took it on
her lap, smoothed its wet robes, rocked ii
and spoke to it as though it were alive
kissing it again and again, as her tears fell
on its little face. Her husband and three
other children are yet to be accounted for
My pretty babe is here she said, but
where are all the rest
The Transcript says of the appearance o
the bodies at the Coroner's inquest:
"There were two grown up women GU
down in their prime, quietly sleeping witt
their hands ntwined. A girl about fifteen
drest up in her best with silk gloves on, ant
the neatest boots; a boy about twelve smil
ling even in death, and whose countcnanc
was as placid as if he had quietly gone t.
his rest another about nine, with his arm
around girl about thirteen-probably hi
sister,"

A GARDEN RAKE.-Most persons who
pretend to cultivate garden do so very i'm.
perfectly, using, perhaps, miserable old
wooden-toothed rake, and raising ten noxious
weeds to one useful vegetable. At this point
some economical genius may say he can't
afford to pay dollar for a garden rake. II
SO, all right; I'll tell you how to make one.
Take piece of hard wood, long enough
tor the head, one inch thick, two inches
broad in the middle; taper it off narrow at
the ends bore smalls holes through it, the
proper distance apart for teeth; into these
drive twenty penny nails this makes the
head. Next take piece of refuse board
and make handle, leave it three or four
inches broad at one end, nail this firmly on the
top Of the head, and you have a pretty
good garden rake with but little cost, and
when thing only lasts one season, it is per.
haps the most profitable rake to use.-Prair;t

Mr. EDITOR Il notice that the editor Of the
Christian ~ Messenger is making structures
upon the character of the Freeman, and while
he is SO given to luult-fndiDg, | wish to
make few suggestions Tor the consideration of
the Rev Editor. twill be remembered that
the Messenger sits up for model of Christian
morality, and its editor is preacher OF the gos-
pei while the Freeman, before it came into
your hands, made but small pretensons to re-
form or religion and although | am very
mech pleased to see that you have made deci-
ded change in favor of Temperance, and have
allotted the fourth page to the SOUNDED and
choicest moral teachings, do not infer that
you intend more than one of the best literary
and political papers. The Rev. Editor of the
Messenger sees great evil in your holding up
Border Rufianism in its true light, while he
secs no evil in sending out weekly potions OF
vile, " liquid poison in his advertisements. |

use profanity, but far more detest spirit
which sees the mote in his brother $ eye, and
not the beam in his own. 1t is bad enough for

irty advertisements, but to see protessed

the editor of the Messenger is making sugges

be far more acceptable to my family if, while it
processes to be model and sets itself up as a
pattern, it contained less of immortality and in
decent language. This evil regard as exerting
IA far worse influence upon the character of the
young than the exposition Of Border Rutlian-
ism. With joy shall Iail the day when all
papers exclude even the best patent medicine
advertisements and especially should our relig-
ious journals be careful to exclude every vestige
of such immortality and humbug.

The State Convention,

1t will be seen, by reference to the proceed
ings of the State Convention at Burling-
ton, on the LIST inst, that our excellent Stale
Ticket has been again placed in nomination.
We are pleased with the action of the Cohvcn-
ton as far as that nomination goes, but the
Resolutions we regard as considerably behind
the times Not "a word is said, in any manner,
against the existence of Slavery, and but a
moderate resolve to oppose its extension. This
we were unpreparcd for. Nor is it but little,
any, in advance Of the policy of the old parties
previous to 1854. And turning to the past
year, we find that the principles uvowed
are departure from those Of Sc. TLey are
not only not in advance Of the Philadelphia
Platform, but hardly up to it.
In order to bring the action of the nation
closer to the denunciation Of Slavery, the States
must keep in advance Of it-resolve to restrict
MS well as to restrain Massachusetts resolved
against the existence of Slavery; not so with
Vermont. Another sad mistake is the fact that
tnc oluest ollVeT UTeyS, are H0nOreu Win ma
majority of tie State Committee, while the
ranks Of the old liberty party are left unbro-
ken. No member is given to Orange Caledonia
or Washington Counties--a sort Of u slight
which must have been meditated, or laundering
ly overlooked, We had hoped to see II long
step in advance of the halfway measures of OPP
position to Slavery, bat we were not so badly
disappointed as we might have been. We have
before spoken of an apparent disposition to
fall back upon Wing conservatism, and we
shall not in the least be disappointed to see those
who have been the least radical given the future
nominations and an attempt made 10 carry of
the large numbers of former Flee Democrats
and Abolitionsts to Il policy not essentially
differing from that of the Wing party Of 1852
But there is one sure thing The evil of
Slavery will never be lesscned nor crippled by
such tame proceedings of the North. Every
day the Slave party are taking ddcdncc steps,
until every buwark of freedom has been swept
away and the signal fires of monarchy kindled
on our own walls.

The CANKER- WORM AND THE FRUIT TREES.
The indications now are that the fruit
trees of some localities in this region will
again suffer severely from the ravages Of
the canker worm, which, with other causes,
materially reduced the apple crop Of last
year. The most serious loss in this respect
that We have heard of took place in an
orchard of Newton. This orchard, several
years since, produced for the owner eight
hundred barrels of apples. Last year the
whole amount gathered scarcely filled half
