DON'T, p LET THE HOES RUST IN JUNE. JUN,

This old maxim indicates the chief labor TOT
 June. It is the great month for the des@uc
 ton of weeds, and the culture of crops one hours work now, while the weeds are sula''' 3 will he more effectual than whole day spent in pulling them in August, when they nave ~ to;ned their growth and perfected their seeds. Not only this, but tho young crops of all kinds are smuch, benefited by stirring the soil while they are small, before they produce their seeds. Cabbages, rootabagas, beets and carrots, which do not seed till the second year, may be hood often all through the season but corn, beans, , peas, and other plants which go to seed the first year, are injured by disturbing the roots after the blossoms appear. If the weeds are kent in check during the fore part oE the sea- son, then tic plants will shade the ground so as to choke them. The shade also keeps the soil moist so that it does not bake and form a hard crust.
 In a drought shallow hoeing is better than water for the dropping plants. Fresh earth is a powerful absorbent of ammonia and other gases which float in the atmosphere, and these are the best manures While the leaves ab- sorb the carbonic acid from the air, the roots take in the ammonia and other gases which have either been brought down by the rain, or taken directly by the earth from the air. Cover the decaying carcase of any small ani. 2 nal with two or three inches of fresh loam. and all the odor which was polluting the air fol rods around will be absorbed. Now if the sur
 face of the field near where the animal was lying was freshly broken up, it would be al
 work catching every particle of these ricf
 gasses which came in contact with it. Every
 fermenting manure heap, every particle of de
 caying animal or vegetable matter, lying un
 covered, with some absorbent, is generating and liberating these gaseous substances SC l valuable, to vegetation. With growing plant ! in full vigor, and mellow fresh turned soil
 the farmer is prepared to do his full share 1T purifying the air. and in gathering food for hi'
 crops from the common storehouse.

ABORTION IN -Gows.9rhe Utica Herald, in
 commenting on n statement that Prof. Agas.
 sig thinks of instituting au mvestis sation into
 this subject, speaks as follows of the continu. anee and spread of the malady
 It is .abopt eight years. since tie habit first made it's appearance in the herds of Herkimer,
 and every year it increases in it's virnlence
 spreading among the best herds, and often
 completely breaking them up During the winter just past the habit has male more ex-- tensive ravages than formerly, and seems to be spreading over the entire dairy districts. So far it seems to baffle all efforts looking towards means for prevention. It makes it's appear ance in she best and the poorest herds, and without regard to the manner in which they have been treated. It shows itself in all varie
 ties of soil, on highlands and iowlands, among cattle reared on. the farm whereit occurs, and among those purchased and driven from dis -tapce. We have repeatedly urged upon dairy
 men the necessity of Q thorough investigation into the causes of this disease Ito join together . and employ some scientific man, to look over
 the ivarions premises where the shabit has ap-- peafed, and collect such facts in regard to it as
 woald lead to Q discovery of the causes. Of course there is a cause, which should have been discovered long since. The trouble has } already become 50 serious that some have aban- d0n6d the dairy business, and if it continues
 many others must do so also for where one
 half or twothirds of herd is annually broken rl,, it is evident 'dairying cannot be carried on with pfofit. N We shall look forward to the in' : syestieations of Prof. Agassiz on this matter with. great interest. Prnbahly no man in the country is. SO competent to examine into the true cause of the disease, or will so thoroughly inyestipate it insall it's bearings. And if he te able t6 point Stlt a remedy. an important ser vice will be done to the dairy interests, and. one which will be widely appreciated.

APPLE ORCHARDS.

Nothing is more common in Connecticut, than to see an apple orchard ruined at the outset. For instance, A. transpants lot of inferior trees upon two acres of land, and i'm. agines in ten years an abundance of delicious fruit. A crop of oats is taken from the land, followed by rye or wheat crop, and the field seeded down to grass in the fall, cattle, sheep and horses are turned in After three years, sickly looking tree here and there is all that remains to show the owners folly. x. N.a B. sets out fifty or sixty trees among the stamps of an old orchard apple borers take 3 immediate possession, and the proprietor soon finds his orchard a failure. In various ways , more than half the orchards 'transplaHted prove partial or total failures. Now for the true plan First select your trees yourself, if possible; don't allow refuse tree to be set it is only wasting time and care Determine that every mean scrub of tree go to the bonfire before it finds place in your or chard. See that the trees are carefully taken up and carefully set in well-prepared ground. ' 2d.' Let your land be carefully cultivated for at least six years. Allow no grain, except oc- casionaIly, perhaps, a crop of buckwheat, but never crop of rye. The contrast between a cultivated orchard and neglected one is as- tonishing, and the two only need to be seen to be appreciated. a,.
 3d. Protect your trees from cattle, sheep, mice, and all destructive insects otherwise your labor may be all lost. Exclude all do. nestle animals. Allow no mulching to remain around the trees in winter to harbor mice, and especially watch for the apple-borsr- of the most insidious enemies of the apple tree. Asgallon of soft soap diluted with one or two gallons of soft water, applied to the trunks of the trees,+ is net agreeable to any insect 5 Nothing will kill an insect quicker than soft ! soap .e1a 3s14aG s.f so sogser sss 5w i:
 4th. Follow up q judicious system of pruning, leaving a good spreading, open head. By pruning annually. there will be no necessity of saving of large branches, and the result will be more perfect trees Let the motto be fol- lowed" Whatever is worth doing, is worth doing we'll" @ P.M. ApGUR.
