Sweet May.

And let the young lambs houad
As to the tabor's sound!
We IN Thought will join your throng,
Re that pipe and re th.t play,
Ys that through your hearts to-day
Peel the yladnes Of the May"
Again, May has come, bringing with il a
new phase of animated nature to all. All
vegetable life springs into new vigor, having
now succeeded in shaking off the cold
embraces of winter The animals look and
act glad; the calves bleat, the cows low, the
lambs bound in sportive gambols over the
hillocks by the side of their affectionate dams,
the cock sings necessarily, and the hens
cacklc garrulously by with importance, as
they arc preparing for their anticipated
broods; the hamlet is vocal with pleasant
sounds, andth eye is gladdened with pleasant
sights. May unfolds unnumbercd charms.
he,sprcads the earth with green, and dots it
with flowers of varied hue; fills the trees
and shrubs with bursting buds and expand
ing blossoms. and loads the air with fragrance.
AL is activity and life in lovely May! The
clms and naples that for . week or two have
held their pendent tassels, and invited whole
colonies of bees to taste their sweets; the
robin is here, and the bluc-bird, the early
swallow, the martin, the warbling sparrow,
chattering black-bird, and lark-and occas-
ionally all burst forth in choral minstrelsy.
as If one quick and sudden gale had swept an
hundred airy harps."
But May is too busy month to afford us
much time in description of its beauties -
II is as crowded with active duties for the
husband,nan, as it is active in vegetable and
animal life. Saying will not answer now
Your plans being laid and your implements
in order, you 60 to work with good nature,
with stout heart and willing hands, and
and we must hasten away from the May Pole,
and see if the waiting soil does not demand
our attention now.
FLOWING
Plow deep, pulverize and manure WE'LL
A gradual deepening of the soil is highly
beneficial to crops; this is well settled
principle.
STEPPING SEED CORN.
The black. birds, crows, and cut worms
have ruined the prospects Of more than one
fair field Of corn. Sleeping the corn in salt
peter or coppcras will give it such . taste as
to make it disagreeable to the birds, and it is
said also to the cut worm.
THE GARDEN GENERALLY.
Get in peas to succeed those sown in April !;
plant an asparagus bed, if you have none ;
SOW lettuce, parsley, onions, and all vegeta-
blcs desired for the table.
MANURE FOB FLOWER BEDS.
We have seen beautiful lower.beds much
disfigurcd by coarse stubble manure spread
upon the surface, and the perfume Of the
flowers did not always conceal less agreea-
bic odor. The dark earth found in woods.
consisting mostly Of decayed leaves and other
vegetable matter, is excellent plant food. 1t
is quite extensively used in green and hot
houses. It Is very clearly, and gives that
pleasant mellowness to the soil so agreeable
to the garden and 50 favorable to the plants.
A mixture Of leaf mould, earth, and bone
manure is on the whole preferable.
