|. Keep the hoe and cultivator 20.
ing. Do not let the ground become
caked or covered with weeds. lfyour
soil is kept light and mellow, well ex-
posed to the influence oil air and the
transmission of moisture, the plants
will grow better and stronger
Crops have a good start; assist them
in keeping it.
IL. Prepare for harvest. See that
all your tools are in order and sharp,
Moving machines should DO examin.
ed, and if any repairs are needed, let
them be done Immediately. He is a
poor farmer who leaves undoue such
work until the day the tools are
needed, and if he loses by it, gets
what he deserves.
Ill. Root out thistles, cookie, &C.,
from grain fields and everywhere else.
A crop of thistles in the fence corner,
or by the roadside will seed your fields
as we'll and quickly if raised in the
middle of the field. Nip them in the
bud; don't let them get a start. Look
upon them as enemies, and act accord
ingly. The best time to eradicate
weeds is when the ground is soft, OF
just after a rain; they are then easily
pulled up by the roots.
w. Sow Hungarian grass seed, if
there is any danger Of light crop of
hay, or if you need a larger amount OF
forage than your meadows will at
present yield. Profit by your own
past experience, aud that of your
neighbors, as to the best localities in
your section in which to grow this
grass.
V. Keep your fences good. Stock
often get among growing crops when
the fences are poor, to the loss Of both
crop and temper. More breechy cat
ile are made by poor fences than by
all other means combined. This
fencing out your neighbors' cattle is
AL expensive affair, but in the present
state ofthings cannot be avoided.

LOOK TO YOUR GRArTs.--Grafts
should be carefully looked over, at
this session; all the natural buds
rubbed of; the banding Of the graft
loosened and re.tied: and if two or
more buds are growing, and one ap,
pears weakly, rub it off, and let the
strong bud or shoot have all the food

FLY TIME.-Flies will soon be
along, when cows, horses and humans
will have to suffer from their bites
and stings. Mixers are liable to get
angry, because the COWS whiSk their
tails, and kick over the pals. Dri.
vers get furious when the reins get
under their tails, and their teams g
to the right when they should go to
the left. A little fish oil, rubbed over
the animal with bit OF sponge or
soft woolen rag, will edectually keep
off the flies, do no injury to the coat
Of the horse or COW, and prevent very
much suffering by the beasts, and con
siderable growing from those who
handle them.
