The Farm in J ,ly.

Our hot sun and dry weather ri pen grain and grass-or at least bring 1t forward so that it is ready 1 for the scN the and the si 3kle, much earlier in the season than in the climate of Europe. July is really the first, and perhaps the most i'm portant harvest month. The great grass crop, with which "the early later rains" has blessed millions of acres, is to be cut, cured and har vested. Winter grain, over a great part of the country, is to be cut this month. while, at the same time, when from any cause, short crops are anticipated or are to be provided against. 1t is even now not too late to get in a crop of mil let or of fodder corn.
 July is seed time for plants Of the turnip kind. There art, indeed, cold, heavy soils, whore SwcdcS need to be sown in June to make a crop, but generally the former half of this month is early enough, while for those known as English tnrnips, if sown the latter half, and up 10 the tenth of August, they will give good returns.
 There are weedy fields that re- ally need to be thoroughly sum. mer.fallowed before anything iS done with them In these the blow must be kept going, and in light lands the weeds are destroy ed at a sacrifice of nearly all the organic matter, whieh must be kept replaced in some way Hence, it is almost always better to fallow with a root crop, sowing in drills and giving thorough cult, ure. The fertilizer containing no weed seed, the cleaning of the land may be very complete, and the soil well improved in fertility. American AericultuIist for July.
