WORK FOR THE MONTH OF JULY.


Borf.-We have noticed that the most sue
cessful prducers of corn are always the last In
the field with the cnltivator. To .lay byn this
crop in July is too early. The weeds thus have
unnecessary opportunity to grow and mature
seed. 1t is a question if it is not best to thin
out the stalks more than is commonly done to
grow the gram crop by itself, with but two
stalks, or even one, in hill; and that for fod-
der by ITSELF with the stalks as closely set as Is
possible Tor thrifty growth.
Grooming Seed Corn-Any grain can be greatly
improved by selecting the best each year, and
continuing to plant this for several seasons. No
other grain-plant that we grow has so many
abortiye ears as corn. IL We can make each of
these productive, the yield can he greatly multi

that has been recently imported, and has been
highly commended rs yielding largely. No bet
ter ground than that from which early potatoes
have been taken, can be had. Sow in drill. 80
Inches apart on RI ch soil, with three lbs of seed
to the acre For later sowing this month and
next, the "Greystone" turnip is very prolific

Early potatoes in many places. have fairly es.
capped the dreaded beetle, and are making a good
crop. They should be harvested as soon as ripe
lest wet weather cause them to sprout A sec.
Ond crop may be made by planti ng the earliest
kinds the first of the month. OF all the new
sorts, none have as yet displaced the Early Rose.
Late potatoes should be free from weeds and
beetles to suffer the leaves to be eaten off is a
permanent injury to the roots Generally il il
the latest crop Of beetles which does the most
damage.
