Farm Work for September,

The summer months have passed away,
and autumn has como, before tho farmers
are quite ready for it, as some have hardly
finished haying and rcaping.
But it is now the time to trim up and pre-
pare the grounds for future harvests. Sep
tembcr is an important month for all who
would make preparation for another year
Bushes should now be cut, to let them bleed
and die. There are certain days when a
scythc will do much to extirpate them.
September is most important month tor
sowing grass seeds. Herds-grass and red-top
may be soNn at this time without fear Of
winter killing.
Greeusward may be turned Dat at this time
and sown at once to grass. And where the
sward is cold and unsuitable for planting this
is the best mode OF renovation. Plow nicely
dress the ground with any kind of compost
manure-harrow thoroughly withiron teeth.
sow one peck Of herds-grass and two or three
pecks Of red-top to the acre, and then use
brush harrow till the whole surface'is laid
even, and fit for the scythe. The finer you
make the surface soil the sooner will your
grass seeds vegetate and get roots for the
winter.
If you would SOW clover also, you can do
this in November when 1t may be buried by
the rains and not start till spring. II you
sow clover in September 1t will be likely to
be winter killed. Therefore SOW it on the
surface in December, or in April, on the
snow.
We SEQ that some writers recommend SOW
ing winter rye with the grass seed-in order
to get crop Of gain the FIRST year. and to
protect the grass. But rye is no protection
and crop OF rye on such ground would
not be worth half so much as crop Of hay
for you will stand a chance to cut two tons
Of hay where you would harvest ten bushels
Of rye. And the rye would exhaust the land
more than the hay.-Ma's. PiOughman.

Directions for Cider Making.

The following extract is made for the Coun-
try Gentleman. from report on apples and
their management, submitted last year by a
committee Of the Hampshire, Mas, Agricul-
turai Society. Of which Mr.. David Rice was
Chairman
Good cider cannot be made with inferior,
or decayed, or worm-eaten fruit. The ap-
pies should be ripe and mellow before they
are ground out in the mill. They should be
mixed, sour and sweet. in about equal pro
portions when carried to the apple heap
After the fruit is ground in the mill the POM
ace should stand in the vat day or two, be
ing frequently stirred with wooden shovel
Being thus brought into contact with the
air, the cider will have dne rich color, and
a better flavor. acquired by the digestion OF
the apple skins, which contain a fragrant oil
and by chemical changes wrought in tho CT
der proper by atmospheric influences. The
elder should be stored in we'll cleansed bar
rels or casks, and put into dry, cool cellar
After fermentation has quite ceased, the bar
rels or Casks should bc hermetically closed
No foreign substance should ever be added to
cider with the idea tha, it can bo improved
or made better thereby. Those who wish to
poison their cider by chemicals will bear in
mind that when they do 50 their cider be-
comes medicinal tincture, unfit for beycr-
age, or use in any way unleSs prescribed
by physician. Cider will keep fit for use

Puro Water for Stock.

A good draught Of good water is, probab'
ly, Us refreshing to beasts as It is to people.
But in the month Of August nearly all do
nestle animals suffer far more than we imag'
inc for want Of good water. Sheep will
thrive far better II they can have access to
pure water. Teams will endure the heat far
better IL they can have plenty OF pure wa
ter, and il milch cows must drink stagnant
water wherever they can find it, how is it
possible for them to give their usual flow oi
good milkl 1t is impracticablc for them to
do il.
Some people allow water to stand in
trOugbs day after day, many times, and com
pei their animals to drink it all up. Did
such people ever drink water from an old dir
ty slop-pail, after it had been allowed to stand
in the sunshine for two or three days? Let
them try the experiment OF drinking such
water, and wait for the result; and then they
will bo prepared to express correct opin-
ion. whether or not such water is as good for
stock, in the sultry days OF August, as pure
cold water would be.
Water troughs and water tanks should be
cleaned frequently during the hot days OF
August, and fresh water pumped into them
several times during the day.
Milk cows require vast quantity OF pure
water in hot weather, in order to produce
their usual fow Of good milk.-COuntry

But you shall not-the tender love l feel,

When cold deceit had nearly robbed my youth
or trust In man, and faith in heaven beside,
You taught me lessons Of eternal truth.

And following after Aprirs rain OF tears,
For ne may blossom summers fragrant flowers.
