even by dogs, at this season. A few
small bells placed upon the necks of
several of the flock will usually help
protect them. Give salt each week.
Sugar Cane-Sow in drills, or broad
cast for cattle and hog feed, both green
AMI cured. Keep the early crops for
manufacturing we'll cultivated.
Timber, for fencing or building of any
kind, is much more durable when cut in
Suly and August than in the winter sea-
son. This is particularly the case with
the hard wood kinds abounding in sap.
This sap is now parted with its watcry
portions, and is forming an outer layer
of new wood.
Tools-Keep the scythes and moving
machine knives sharp, and the bearings
well oiled. In short. have all tools,
machines, and farm gear in prim order.
Repairs can be made during rainy days.
Turnips-Sow for fall crop and even.
Newly plowed rich soil is best.
Wheat-Do not delay the cutting a
sing'e day after it is sufficiently ripe
A storm may beat it down and materially
injure it. Cut, dry, bind, and "stook''
1t up as fast as possible.
Young Stock-Give them especial care
at this se,son. A calf or colt whose
growth is checked now seldom does as
we'll afterwards.

SPEECH OF
GOVERNOR MORRILL,.
AZ the Republican State COnVcm-
tiOls, Thursday July 9Th, 1859.

Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Conrention
thank you for this cordial reception.
A grateful sense your voluntary favor
increases with the repetition Of it, until
| am at loss for fit terms to express the
emotions to which it gives rise. In uni
son with your opinions and in the deep
est sympathy with your sentiments and
general purposes, defer to your judg-
ments Of the public interests, and accept,
with due acknowledgements, the position
assigned me by your partiality. Conf
dent Of the soundness and justice OF
your principals and assared of your CO.
opera ion in their maintenance, | have
no apprehension Of the results in the
great conflict of opinion in which the
people Of this country are involved. |
canno. doubt that tie people will main
tain those who honor and maintain their
principles. Standing in the presence Of
such an asscmblase of men ,and conscious
of the high purposes that animate all
hearts, | am flied with emotions OF
prtle and pleasure inexpress BILE.
l institute no comparisons with other
men, or bodies OF men, but in the pres
cncc of the men WHO hold in their hands
the destinies Of our young and vigorous
State, whose solicltude for its welfare
know to be warm and constant, | may
be permitted to say | am not d smaye!
By the graceful and modest assumption
that the talent of the State, is elseUhere.
Amy man VINO can preserve his own self
respect in the maintenance of his p.incl-
pies, need not be abashed at the boasttul
prctcnsons of others. So of a party
|, is not uncommon for great leaders to
promise their followers the felicities of 4
glorious hereafter. The state of the
promised hereafter may sometimes be
gathered from the character ana motives
ofthose who are to be the subjects otit.
The savage's h pes Of a happy future are
based upon the trophies Of his barbara
ties here. Do not encourage you to
seek the facilities, or hazard the perils
Of the future upon such a probation.
Net to make further allusion to what's
reported to have passed elsewhere, we
are here to day to consider what fit ex-
preston is demanded of the people OF
this State upon those political topics
which now engross the attention OF the
nation.
For myself, accepted, in the outset,
the issue recently forced upon the coun-
try by the new doctrines OF the dominant
party, viz: the constitutional recosni-
tiou, legitimacy and spread of slavery;
not without reluctance, | confess, yet
without hesitation or doubt as TO their
dangerous and pernicious tendencies and
the duty Of the citizen in the treatment
OF them. The progress and develop.
ment of these doctrines have strengthen
ed my first convictions and to day | de.
clare it to be, in my judgment. the high.
est political duty OF the people of this
country, to resist, to the utmost of theil
power, this new slavery policy of the
government and of the Slave States. Nc
patriot can look upon the struggle O

FRuIr TREES. Stir the soil around
your fruit trees, and apply a small quantity
OF chip manure or compost, formed of
muck, gypsum, salt old manure, ashes,
and lime. Dig it we'll into the soil, and
cover the sarlaee with a mulching of
straw nr nla tap, .If tlern are any old
limbs which exhibit symptoms OF decay,
amputate them carefully, and apply to
the stamps coating of melted bees wax,
rosin and common tallow, in the propor-
tions in which these ingredients are
united in common grating wax.

The Orchard and MISERY.

FRUIT growers are now rejoicing over
some Of the earlier fruits, with a fai,
prospect of a good yield of later kinds
This is the more welcome from having
had short supply for several years past
The most important work in the orchard
for this month is pruning.
Budding also comes in for large
share Of the tree growers time. Plum
cherry, and pear stocks will be ready for
the operation BY the middle of July
even earlier in some localities.
Cherries-The late varieties are now
ready for picking and marketing, drying
or putting up in cans and bottles. A
good supply of the bottled fruit will not
come amiss next winter. Save pits of
cherries for planting, and put them in
boxes of earth before they became dry.

The Farm.

july offers little leisure to the farmer,
who must be making hay while the sun
shines" The hay and grain fields re-
mind him sAat be must push on his har-
patches are still 10 be manurcd, plowed
and sown. These will afford sutficit mt
employment during fair weather, and
the Workshop, barn, stables and manure
cellars or sheds, should be provided with
work for rainy days. Care will be
needful, during this very hot weather,
not to overheat the system, and mo lera-
ton and temperance are requisite in
eating and drinking. Farmers, and
particularly flrmers' boys, are accu tom
ed to bathe frequently during this season.
They should not 90 from the hay fields
and plunge into cool stream while
encrvated by hard work. and Gripping
with perspira,ion. Morning is the best
time for bathing.
Many of the directions of last month
are applicable to the first weeks of July.
Read them again and attend to any of
the operations not yet completed.
Bark IF Hemlock and Oak will "run"
during most Of July, and may be peeled
for tanners. at any leisure time during
dali weather. Pile up the former PEEL
ings.
Buckwheat just before or after
a rain if possible.
Buildings, Yards, &c.,-Kecp every
thing about them clean and neat

tempers. Chloride of lime, or copperas
dissolved in water will fix the noxlous
gases escaping from the privy and sink
drain, or spout.
Clbbases-The late crop may be
planted, among early potatoes, peas or
other crops ready to harvest.
Corn for so.lins may be drilled in or
sown broadcast. 1t will form a good
succession with earlier paintings. Hoe
ing and wedding may still be reedful
among the early paintings.
Fences should not be overlooked in
the press Of work.
Haying is the important work Of July
but with a good moving machine on
smooth ground,a boy and team of horses
can perform the heaviest labor, and do il
at the proper time, neither too early mol
too late, or when wet with dcws and
rains. Use the hay caps when necessary
and do not burn the hay up with a hot
sun.
Hoeing will be secondary operation
this month, but the cuItivator or horse
hoe should be run through the corn il
the morning while dew is on the grass
and grain.
Manures-Attcnd to as last month.
Millet or Hungarian Grass" may
still be sown for successive so,ling
crop.
Oats will require cutting. They
should rot be allowed to become over
ripe.
Pastures that the grass is sulIi
cient for the grazing stock. A scant
feed now will soon be seen in a diminish
ed supply of milk, and slow growth O
young stock.
Poultry require the same treatment as
last month.
Potatoes-Early crops will be ready
for harvesting and marketing during the
month, and the ground may now be ap
propriated to late cahbages or turnips
Rye-That sown last fall is now read,
to cat. Secure it from storm as soor
as it will answer.
Seed Wheat, Rye, and other grair
should be allowed to fully ripen before

" \ lady tells this story: have
been out in Indiana on visit. while
there | found kitten. which | bought
and brought home as a playthins for my
two children. TO prevent any dispute
about the ownership of puss. propos-
ed, and it was agreed, that the head of
the kitten should be tho babys, and Ed
dy. the eldest-but only three years
should be the sole proprietor of the
long and beautiful tail. Eddy rather
objected at first to this divis ion, as put.
ting him of, with an extremely small
share of the animal. but soon became
reccnciled to the division, and quite
proui of his ownership in the graceful
termnous Of the kitten. One day, soon
after, L heard poor puss making dread.
iul mewing and called out to Eddy :
There. my son, you arc hurting my part
of the kitten heard her cry" No
| didn't, mother; trod on my part
and your part hoH.red.'
