hints foe the month.
The Plantation.— After “ run
ning around ” your Corn close and
deep with a long “rooter, you may
give it a top dressing of gypsum, ashes
and salt—ten parts of the first, four
of the second, and one of salt. It dl
be a great benefit in a dry season, and
no injury at any time. A slight spr.nk-
Hncr of Superphosphate, near the lull,
at The first or second hoeing, mil
greatly increase your crop. W ork
between the rows of young Corn as
often as possible with a cultivatoi or
horse hoe give the roots a deep, mel
lovTbed in Aich to extend thcmselv#B

land deficient in lime. The Pea s
also exceedingly valuable as a fertili
zer, and produces a large quantity of
hay, when sown broadcast, on good
land riant, also, plenty of 1 ump

will need constant and unre
mitting attention, during the present
■ mont h Scrape and mould the plant
•as soon as possible; keep the weeds
• down, and the ground m a state of
fine u tilth. . 1
Sow, in -the drill, m your richest
land quantities of Egyptian
Millet, Chuiese Sugar Cane, and
Corn for forage. A farmer has rarely
too much rough provender; it is useful
for soiling as well as curing for hay.
Sweet- Potatoes should be trans
planted now as soon as possible. Dip
the roots in a thick batter, made by
stirring fine black leaf-mould and
scrapings Irom the cow-pen into wa
ter — set’the plants pretty deep, an and if
you shade the ground around them,
with a handful of pine straw, they!
will grow off finely, even in dry
weather. During a shower, or just
before night (in dry weather) is the
best time for the planting of “draws.
Wheat, Oats and Corn loader
(from the drill) may now be cut and
stacked up carefully on. a platform of
rails raised " several inches above
ground ; or, which is still bettor) put
under cover immediately.
Tiie Kitchen Garden. —Little
can be done the present month in the
garden, with the exception of mulch
ing, weeding and watering. We re
gard the first operation (mulching)J
as of paramount importance in this
climate, and have spoken of it so often
• that repetition seems unnecessary.
£ Mulch everything —trees, shrubs, vines
and even vegetables covering the
surface of the earth, as far as the
roots extend, with 4 or 5 inches of
pine straw, chip mould, spent tan-bark
saw dustT, or forest leaves —and you
will find that trees and plants thus
treated will grow much faster, and
receive little or no check from the
long continued drouths of mid-summer. I
Water should now be freely and regn-1
larly applied to all your growing veg-l
etables, through the mulching , as here-l
tofore directed—leaving no moisturel
exposed on the surface to the bakingl
rays of the sun. This is an excellent!
time to attack the weeds, and you!
must show them no quarter. Cut!
them down and let them die on the!
surface; to aid in restoring the fertil-|
ity which they have abstracted from I
the soil. 'Plant Snap and scat-1
ter a liPtle'short litter or sa w-dust on I
the ground, after having covered thej
seed. . This will make them come up. I
Irish Potatoes can be planted and!
heavily mulched ; they will give a fair!
crop in October. Plant Watermelons l
for a succession. During the latterl
part of this month, Cabbage and Bro-m
eoli plants, for fall and winter use,B
may be set out. M
Seeds of Cabbage, Cauliflower, Cel-M
'erg, &c., may be sown under low ar-|
feors, made of brush or pine tops, ini
jorder to shelter them from the fierce!
rays of the sun. Water often and I
. until the plants are well, when a liquid H
m'aflure-may be alternately with 8
the water, from time to time. Plant fl
a full crop of Okra, without delay, H
(Dwarf Okra is best.) Plant Peas.B
Sweet Corn and Snap Beans, for aB
succession. Transplant Tomatoes and B
early Celery, &c., and prick out Celery, H
Cauliflower and Brocoli. Pinch oftß
the leading shoots of your early Toma- B
toes, Lima Beans, Melons andCucum-B
bers, if you want the fruit to set early ;B
and give the plants liquid manure, ifß
you desire large specimens. If theß
green worm is troubling your fine B
Muskmelons, place the fruit on a brick, B
When half-grown. Sow Tomatoes forß
a late crop, they will come in when fl
the first is gone. Sow Rutabaga Tur- B
nip seed and transplant them like win-H
ter Cabbage, in rows two feet apartß
and eighteen inches apart in the row. flj
The white and yellow summer Radish
must now be sown. Transplant Onions
and Li cks, if not done last month, H
whenever the season suits. Also,
transplant Beets, where they stand H
too thick in the seed bed. .
Strawberry beds must be kept free
from weeds, -well mulched with
or chopped pine straw, and freely
watered in dry weather. If you
sire fruit, cut oil' all the runners
fast as they appear, and keep
grpund cool and moist. If you wish
to increase your plant-, the mulching
may be dispensed with.
