AGRICULTURAL. from the Southern Cultivator,-J>u June. 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 and leave the surface level and well PU phmt C plenty of Cow Peas, using plaster as a top-dressing after they KV n>.!“'XXu 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 tins among your Corn or in a sopa vnte natch Milch cows and hogs rel ish them greatly, and they are quite faiteniug -when boiled up with meal or 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. Tll E GEOIt GI A WEEK LY .
