WINCHEST E r:
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 4TlE
Plantation Work for July.

In consequence of the lateness Of
the spring and consequent backward
condition of the crops, both corn and
cotton, much Of the work of June will
necessarily have to be continued into
July. The corn crop is looking very
well, tho small, and some Of it will
require further work, which must, Of!
course, be done with care.
Potatoes for paintings, should not
be neglected. For this purpose, DO
not fail to put out, during this month
n half acre or more Of vines, Prepare
the ridges, and put the vines in the
ground by cuttings, double the length
you desire them to stand; then double
the cuttings and put them in us draws
are done, with each end out.
The hogs are now in your oat pas
lures; but if you intend to make your
own bacon, you must still give them
attention. You will have your corn
in stingear now in few days, when
cut and feed to your hogs literally
every night; they will eat corn, cob
and stalk. 1t will free them from
worms informally, and vermin extern
ally, and fatten them more rapidly
than double the amount of hard corn.
And the manure made in the opera
ton, if not fed in tho road, or on the
hillside next the branch, will more
than pay expenses.
The Preparation Of Munure.---There
will be some spare time during this
month, that may be very proftably
employed in gathering up straw and
leaves from the forest, for your stock
lots. The water having dried away.
you may add to this proftably, for in

prepared, richly abounds in food for

~ OuR notion in regard to the
quantity Of land which man ought
to attempt to cultivate, is measured
alone by the force he employs, and
his ability to make it profitable; and
experience demonstrates beyond cavli,
that few acres well cultivated, yields
much better crops than n larger
quantity which cannot receive proper
attention. The want of nutriment in
the stomach would affect the whole
physical system, so the want of proper
cultivation affects the whole crop.

New ENGLAND CRoPs.-The Provi-

Corn FOR SolLlNG. ii you find that
you are likely to be short Of pasture
toward the latter part of summer, put
in a few acres of corn, either sowcd
broadcast or still better in drills three
feet apart so that the cultivator can
be run between them once or twice.
The drills may be opened with a
shovel plow, and the corn covered
with a cultivator with the middle tooth
taken out.
1t should be sown pretty thickly in
the drills--say at the rate of fourteen
or fifteen grains to the foot. This
plan of covering with the cultivation
leaves the rows in a fine condition to
be eflcctualy worked by the same
implement when the corn is up.
This little patch of corn fodder will
be found to come in for use just at the
time when most needed. 1t can be
cut with brier .scythe and allowed
to wilt on the ground one day, after
which it is more conveniently handled
and will be eaten with relish by all
sorts of stock, particularly mich cows
By providing a supply of succulent
food at the most dry season OF the
year, your stock will be saved much
running about over short dried up
grass, and your pastures will be spared
the close grazing so disadvantageous to
them in dry season. Try it once at
least before pronouncing against it,,
Corn may be sowed for this purpose
any time this month.
