NOTES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
MONTH.


MONTH.
June is the month of most rapid growth
and the Maize fields, which have looked
yellow and poor during May, under the
hot suns of this month unfold their leaves
like armies with banners, and SO other
crops, if they are open and we'll worked
soils. push forward into leaf, and blossom,
and fruit. We have work enough to lin
ish planting, to keep down the weeds and
to work the surface, SO that the air may
always have free access to the roots OF
the crops. The grass has made great
growth in many localities during the past
month, and where moving ground has
been we'll prepared for irrigation, the Sec
ond heavy crop of hay is by this time
ready for the scythe. The forwardness of
the season has enabled farmers to get we'll
ahead with much of their work, and there
il less excuse than usual for lack of thor
oughness of culture The powerful rains
which may have hindercd farm work
somewhat, are very likely to be followed
by dry weather in June for which deep
tillage and frequently working the soil
are the only remedies.
Barns and .Sheds.--Sweep thorourhly
and put IN order for hay and other crops.
where small quantity of hay or straw
remains in the bottom of the NOW, pitch
it up aloft, where it may be used in the
former part of the moving season. Re-
move manure wherever it is in contact
with woodwork, and see that driving
storms do not wet the frame timbers
Beans.--Wherc hill of Indian corn
has failed, plant three hills of early beans.
If rows be far apart, row of beans is
often planted between them at the last
dressing with horse hoe.
Bsets.--Mash Jumps in the soil with
wooden mallet, few hours after show
er--this will be almost equal to a hoeing
pull up all weeds near the young plants.
Good crops may be raised even when
planted in June if the soil and cultiva-
ton be good.
Butter.-Give COWS an abundance of
sweet grass and clean water, and access
to salt; see that boys and dogs do not
worry them; milk regularly with clean
hands keep milk in clean and sweet
vessels, and in cool, pure apartment;
churn often.
CabJages.-Put out plants in good sea-
son; apply heavy dressing of horse
manure we'll worked into the soil; hoe
mornings while the dew is on, working
over the earth a few inches deep; and we
will almost guarantee large, hard heads.
Insects may make the result doubtful.
Carrots. all weeds near the young
plants when the soil is wet Carrots re-
auire clean cultivation. Where the see
failed to come up, put in turuips or on
ions.
Corn.-Keep cultivators and horse
hoes in operation until the corn becomes
large enough to shade the ground. Hot
and dry weather is the best time to sub
lue grass and weeds.
Cattle.-see that all cattle have access
% pure water Where they drink at a
pond, large poles or sticks of timber
should keep them from going Unto the
water to stand, as they usually dung i'm
nediately after drinking Do not feed
100 many animals on the same ground.
)nc good COW we'll fed will yield more
milk than two COWS on short pasture.
Calues.-Keep calves in clean and dry
'ards or pens, and NOW little grass
laily for them. June is one of the best
months to commence improvements in
leat cattle. Where calves are allowed to
uck, put little wheat -four in one end
f small trough, and salt in the other
nd. where calves can reach it. They
DON eat meal.
Wool-Keep the floor clean while shear
ng; tie it up neatly arrange the feeces
0 show advantageously; and, keep it in
clean apartment where mice or rats will
lot carry chat and straw among it.
