CUTTING BUSHES IN PAsTUREs.--Mr. Ed
itor Il feel inclined to say few words
about destroying brush in pastures that are
top rough andSstony to pillow. l thin& th"t
the best method is to keep whacking them
and cut close, e., keep moving them, not
once in two Or three years, as is the too COM
mon practice, but at least once every year,
and even twice year, if they grow tall
enough to get hold of them with the scythe.
Bushes in common with all vegetation,
draw share Of their support from the at
mosphere through their foliage, and if COIL
stantly deprived of their foliage and conse-
quently of their atmospheric support they will
soon die. There is work in this, | know but
it is less work to NOW constantly for three or
four years than to NOW them perpetually
every second Or third year, as this latter pro-
cess gives them time to recover, and serves to
spread the roots and increase their number.
Once well done is twice DONE" After
moving, rake clean and burn the bushes, and
SOW on plaster and rake in hay-seed on the
Burnt spots; this gives the cattle a chance to
browse or feed them off and tread them down.
Some say that they cannot be killed by now
ing, but such are either mistaken or do not
do it faithfully. T. LEONARD.

MEXICAN NEws.-The Southern mail arrived
at Washington July 3D. bringing New Orleans
dates of Sunday. The papers contain full de-
tails of Mexican news.
The seat of government of the Department of
Tamaulipas has been removed to Matamoras.
The Constituencies, under Blanco are re-
ported to have gained another victory at San
Juan los Lagos capturing one hundred prison
ers, with all the camp equipage, etc. 1t is said
Blanco shot many of his prisoners, including all
the III as and a 15athuiic priest Z
Tho specie which has been hitherto shipped
through Tampico, is now coming to BrowAse
vile for exploration.
Mr.. Walsh, the American Consul at Monte
rey, is said to have closed his Office, placing the
archives in the custody of the British Consul
Gen. Cara and Staff had arrived at Mata-
moras from Tampico. They were welcomed
with salutes and other demonstrations of re-
gard.
The State of Tamaulipas has very consid-
cradle force in the field, under the command of
Caravajal and others.
Yldaurri has published an address to the cap
italists of Monterey, informing them that he

Advices from the city of Mexico are quite
encouraging to the Liberal party. The Zuloaga
faction, it is said, had made overtures for peace.

Ql)e farmer.
Farm Work for July.

We have entered upon the month which is
much the most important to farmers of any
! the twelve.
The bayfield, demands our attention, since
loss of the harvest would produce more
distress than the loss of any crop on the
northern farmers list Haying must be at
tended to at the very right time or all farm
stock will suffer. There is time to NOW as
well as time to sow, and he who neglects
that time will have reason to be sorry.
We have not now much space to 90 into
particulars in regard to modes of making
hay and times of cutting. But we have
long observed one old rule" Make hay
while the sun Shines" And another is like
unto it, " Let the sun shine so as to dry your
hay in the field, if you would not have musty
hay in the barn"
The prospect of an abundant hay crop
has seldom been better Throughout New
England, New York, and that broad district
west of us, there has been good supply of
rain and as the last winter was favorable for
grass we hear of but few complaints of
want of growth.
In this quarter we have had quite as much
wet as any judicious farmer could desire,
and the only point now remaining is the
quality of the hay--this is to be determined.
Excessive rains may so wash the blades
before cutting as to reduce their value
most sensibly. But we must run chances of
the weather.
The grain harvest now comes in for
share of farm labor. Winter grain was Gt
for cutting, in old times, by the middle OF
July. The Spring grains were not ready till
She LIST OF August, when it was time that the
best of the hay was secured.
But we may have many dull days in July.
BE sure now and attend to the corn and po-
tato fields, for once ss Pnno hoeing will hard
.]y suffice to stir Vi l. ,oshardened burrows,
beaten down by successive rains and planted
in June.
At the second hoeing Of corn there are
many cases where cultivator may do the
chief business and the hoes but little. Run
the cultivator between the rows once each
way, and boy may follow to see that the
corn hills are not buried. One cultivator
will stir more ground in day than ten men
that is. in many clear fields 1t is better
TO do this than to let the ground lie I'M
stirred.
Beans must not be hoed in wet weather at
any rate But as none except deacons have
many field beans, farmers may afford lit
tie time in dry weather to nurse up this in
dispensable companion of salt pork on a
baking day.
Many farmers suffer in July for want Of
help that can be relied on to judge when hay
ia made just enough All agree that it may
BE- dried too much in the sun, yet where one
ton of English hay is dried too much dozen
tons are dried too little.
1t requires many summers labor TO judge
well how to make hay, and as a general rule
the owner himself must SEQ to this. Two
days are necessary to make the most valuable
kinds fit to be trod down in large mows.
Repeated stirring of hay partially dry is
quite important and when we can cure it
well the second day we should not judge
this labor. Glover need not be touched near
the middle of the day in case it has good
treatment at other times-Ploughman.
