VOLUME XVII~-N0. I.
Work For The Month.-Agricultu.
raj Operations.

Cotton must now be encouraged
by constant and careful, but shall
low culture, to promote the pro-
duction Of forms and bolls. Use
light sweeps and follow by tho
hoe. 5' ">~
Corn, if not already laid by,
must be kept clean till the blades
meet across the rows. Cow peas
may be sown broadcast at the last
working, where not already plant
ed, covering with a cultivator OR
harrow. -......... ..,.. -. ...... ,
Cow peas may be sown broad
cast, as a separate crop, for hay.
From q bushel to q bushel and a
half per acre will be a sufficient
seeding. .. IS. .... ..... H..
Corn Fodder may be pulled,
but we doubt the propriety of the
process and no not believe it pays.
Sowing corn in drills for fodder,
making hay and cutting up your
corn, instead of pulling the ears,
and using the stalk and leaf for
feed, are better plans. ...
Sweet Potato draws and cut
tings of vines may still be put
out, but do not delay this work,
as it will soon be too late for a
crop.
Hay is q most important and too
much neglected crop. Mako all
you, can, and prepare to make
more next year, by, getting some
suitable land into grass.
Draining and Ditching may be
done to advantage now if you
have any time and har ds that can
be devoted TO it, without neglecting
the crops. -. F.. .......
Turnips should be largely plan
ted. Prepare the land thorough
ly and manure heavily, and YOU
may make your first sowing about
the last of this month; and, if it
fail, you can try again in ten days,
and so on, till stand is obtained ;
bnt August and September are
generally better months for sowing
the main crop.
GARDEN WORK.
Clear off and turn under woods,
dig up deeply, manure as scquir-
cd and prepare for fall crops.
Cabbage, Cauliflower and Broc-
coli may be transplanted, if you
have plants in your seedbcd, choos-
ing the evening or rainy day for
the operation, shading the plants
for few days but next months
paintings will. be likely to do
better. ....
Of Beets, Carrots, Parsnips,
etc., it is now very difficult to get
u stand, but if you can protect the
young plants against the hot sun
and beating rains you may yet
get fine crop early in the fall.
Snap Beans may still be plaptcd
for succession.
English Peas may be tried,
mulching heavily between the
rows.
Water Melons, Squashcs and
Cucumbers for a late crop may DO
planted, and if they survive they
will give you q good late crop.
Tomatoes may still be planted,
using cuttings if you havo no
young plants.
THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Roses may now be buddcd and
layered. H..
CErysanthcrnums,. and many
other plants, may also now be
propagated by layers.
Evergreen Hedges should be
trimmed, and box edgings clipped.
Save seeds, and put away in
paper bags, carefully labelled with
name and date. ss

FEEDING HoRsEs.-Do you con.
slider it good policy to feed horses
only twice a day when at work?
ID. w. 3.
We do not, as they are more
liable to founder and cholic. We
were lately consulted about some
horses, among whom had occur.
red a strange and unaccountable
mortality. On inquiry, VIC found
that tho custom Of the establish
ment was TO keep their horses at
work for ten hours together with
ont food, and to feed them in
abundance on their return home.
The source of the evil at once be-
came evident. We ordered, for
the time to come, that the horses
be fed once in the course of the
time they were put out, by means
of nose bags; and the fresh prac-
tice Immediately put to flight o
disease which had caused the death
of several of them. In cases of
this kind, the stomach and intes.
tines frequently become distended
with gas. II .-.' . =

FEkD TIE FRUIT TREEs.-It must
be apparent to every rejecting
person, thai, the material round
about fruit tree, which renders
important aid in the production of
fine fruit of any, kind, must ncces-
sarily be moro or less exhausted
after q vine, bush or tree has pro.
duced abundant crops for several
successive seasons. For example ::
a large pear tree or apple tree
will frequently yield from ten to
sixteen bushels Of fruit annually.
Many troes have produced moro
than twice these quantities at one
crop. ...s. ~. .-...... ....
After few seasons, tho materi
al that the roots must be supplied
with, in order to develop fruit,
will be more or less exhausted
For this reason fruit begins to fail !;
and the failure is often attributed
to an east wind, or some mysteri.
GUS atmospheric influence, when in
reality the sole cause is starvation,
arising from an impoverished soil.
The remedy is to feed tho roots
Of all kinds of fruit trees with
lime, wood ashes, gypsum, clip
dirt, bones, fshes, and anything
that will renovate an impoverished
soil 1t is evident that fruit trees
cannot produce fine fruit out of
nothing, or out of such material as
may be desirable for some other
purpOse.-Uedrth and Home.

The GOLD PANIC "Zeta' of
the Baltimore Sun, says in his letter of yester-
day: "The gold panic committee to- day heard
the evidence Of General Porter, the Presidents
private secretary, which was in effect broad
denial OF the testimony of Fisk, Jr., tina. so far
as ne tforter) knew, no gold was bought on his
account nor with his knowledge. A letter had
been sent to him stating that he had been put
into gold speculation, but he replied, declaring
that IL was done without his consent that he had
no money to invest In any such speculations, and
did not desire to have anything to do with them.
Mr. CatherwOod, COrbin's son-in-law, also ap-
peared and gave testimony relative to the efforts
made to have him appointed Assistant Treasur-
er at New York."

The RED RIVER REBELLIoN-A Message from
ne Queen-At a mass meeting at Fort Garry.
WInnepeg, on the 2lst ult., letter was read
from Sir John Young, Governor General of
the New Dominion, in which he says: "The
people may rely upon it that respect and pro-
lection will be extended to the different reli-
gious persuasions that titles to every descrip-
ton of property will be guarded, and that all
franchises which have existed, which the
people NAV prove themselves qualified to
exercise, shall be duly continued or literally
conferred" A message from Earl Granville
to Sir John Young was also read, to the effect
that the Queen had heard with surprise and
regret that certain misguarded persons had
banded themselves together to oppose by force
the entrance OF the Lieutenant Governor into
our territory at the Red River. Her majesty
does not distrust the loyalty of her subjects
In the settlement, and can only ascribe to
Misunderstanding and misrepresentation their
opposition to change so plainly for their ad-
vantage. She relies on your gOvernmen to
explain this misunderstanding, and to con-
siliate the good will of the people of Red

The leading topic in financial circles vet is
the decision Of the Supreme Court in the legal
tender case; and all sorts of questions are raised
rs to the scope Of the decision. Thousands of
notes and contracts made prior to February.
1st2, have Of course been settled in greenbacks,
and inquiry is made whether these settlements
can now be reOpeDed. and whether debtors can
be compelled to settle on a coin basis LAWYERS
hold that if greenbacks were accepted without
protest or reservation, there can be no such
thing as reopcning of the cases. All unsettled
contracts entered into before 1862 can now. ON
the principle laid down i'm this decision. be en-
forced in coin This necessarily brings all out
standing corporate and city bonds. as well as
individual obligations, issued before the OPERA
ton OF the act, within the judgment of the
Court as pronounced, and that without attempt
at legal evasion, the decision being beyond ap-
peal. Some doubt, however, is entertained as
to the course which may be adopted by the
States, against which there is no legal recourse.
in the event o. their continuing to pay in cur
reney.
The greatest effectof the decision will be in the
matter OF mortgages upon real estate; but many
OF these are made for four or five years and un-
der, anu the savings banks and capitalists have
long ago given up in most cases the idea of COL
lecting them IN gold. Some States will proba-
bly, pay their interest or principal in coin after
This decision, but in a great many cases the
Creditors OF some States would be very happy to
receive the principal and interest in currency.
The railroa6companies that have bonds DUE or
railing due, under this decision will have to nav
in gold.
Inc declsiOn generally is accepted as having a
decidedly conservative tendency. Ii adds ma
terially TO the transactions to be conducted upon
coin basis; and, 20 far as it familiarizes the
pubhe with specie operations, it will have a
marked effect in mitigating the common indis-
position to change from the paper to specie basis
To this extent, at least, the decision is a large
step gained toward the resumption of specie
payments.
