Notes and Suggestions for the Month.


The month Of September Is one Of very va.
ried lsbors. We SOW Tor next years crops
and reap the harvest Of tho present season.
We arc anxious lest frost shall pinch too
soon, and dread too great heat and drouth,
lest our root crop and pasturage shall suffer.
September seals the fate Of tho corn crop
which Is, next to hay, the most important
product Of the soil. A dry autumn is looked
forward to by many: perhaps It will come,
II 90 Il will offer peculiar facilities for drain.
ing, getting out swamp muck, and doing
many other things, which we could not do
if II were wet. ......... t..-
ArrLrs.-Whsna animals are excluded from
the orchard, those apples that fall this month
should he dried, made into cider for vinegar,
or cooked Gpr fattsuing swine. In the warm
weather ol september, fruit will dry rapidly.
It will therefore require less care than in
October, but the apples arc no. 50 solid aud
good. ....
