THOUGHTS FpSijTJISJ iUOMH.
Head and hand? will be taxed heavily
durine: the present- month—the former to
teop. thin^sso adjusted that qntltiog shall
be neglected—no one tiring receiving on-
dne atten'ion at the expeaso of others—
and the latter in harvesting the grain and
hay crops, and keeping down grass in the
corn, cotton and other hoed crops. The iar
mcr who looks well ahead (and uo one is
worthy honorable name wl o does not) will
have made provision against harvest, by
having his caru'ar.d cotton crops thorough
ly clamed, so that they may he. left for a
while without serious injury.
Such hands as are not required-in the
harvest fields, should be employed in' keep
ing the plows running. If there is a choice
as to which should be stopped, the plows or
the hoes, we should by all means keep the
plows going—they do double work killing
grass and weeds, and stirring the soil—the
latter a vastly important thing to growin.
c-ops. Plow shallow, but plow- ofteu—
break the crust, let In the air and the gases
it contains, and hasten the decompositions
that furnish food for the plants. This
should bo the great loading idea in the cul
tivation of a crop.
CORN.
Early corn will have to be laid by this
month. Where previous cultivation has
been thorough and the crop is, as it should
be, clean, it is desirable to lay it by at least
by the time the corn bunches preparatory
to tasseling. At that stage of growth it
becomes so top heavy as to be liable to be
thrown down by wind, rendering plowing
On uplands let th ; s last plowing leave
the surface as level as possible, to prevent
washing; to this end use sweep or cultiva
tor. Sow peas broadcast at this plowing,
lor the benefit of the iand—one bushel of
seed to the acre will suffice. If the corn is
to be followed by small grain, the vines can
be turned under when sowing the grain,
and will prove an excellent fertilizer for it,
Remember that the liberal hand maketh
rich in more senses than one—deal gener
ously with your poor, overtaxed land, and
instead of planting a pea crop with a view
to turn stock upon it, to glean the last
grain or the last stalk, restore to its gener
ous bosom the mite of a pea crop, and yon
will in duo tirno bo paid back capital and
interest.
Another plan, which may in some cases
be pursued to advantage, is to sow oats at
the last, plowing of the corn. Whenever
this last plowing is given after the middle
of July, and the circumstances arc such
that the oats may be pastured in fall and
winter, we would recommend the sowing of
oats as obove- ’J hey will come forward so
early that unless pastured, they are liable
to bo winter killed.
The writer has the present year a beau
tiful field of volnntecr oats, the seed of
which were plowed in by the cnltivation of
a late crop of corn, which was planted af
ter oat harvest. They wero pastured until
Christmas, and were very little damaged by
the cold. Some sowed in the early part of
September on rich land, and not pastured,
were about a foot high when the Christmas
freeze cauio, and those were quite badly
killed.
Oar red rust-proof oats, sowed the latter
part of September and the first of Octo
ber. grain harrowed in and rolled, escaped
unhurt by the cold, although not pastured.
PEAS.
Except for improvement of Iand, os sug
gested above, it is better to plant peas by
themselves, and not among corn. Run
rows same distance as for cotton, and drop
half dozen seed in hills 18 inches apart—
or they may bo sowed with a planter and
afterwards chopped out as cotton. Two
plo sings and one hoeing—in some cases
two plowings alone—will make the crop.—
Seed should be put in the ground this
month—if delayed til the first of July,
pi int the speckled or whipporwill variety,
as it matures early.
Old fields that have grown up in pines
uud been recently cleared, make excellent
crops of peas. They tray be sawn also on
the wheat and fall oat stubble and cultiva
ted with very little labor. It is a much
more certain crop than corn on poor laud,
and may be largely substituted for it in
feeding stock, even work horses and mules.
Wo have fed our horses for years on peas
without a grain of corn. For this purpose
gather and put away in hnll without
threshing nut, and feed in same condition
—a bushel to a bushel and a half to a
horse at a feed. Thus fed, wo observed no
tendency to prodhee colic. As a feed for
milch cows the pea fas no equal—aud eve
ry farmer’3 wife has a right to complain of
her good man if he fails to raise at least an
abundant supply for her cows.
The greatest drawback to this very valu
able crop, is the tronblo of gathering. Can
not srme inventive genius come to the res
cue. Who will furnish a machine to pick
peas ?
A few acres of ground fenced off to it
self, a small part planted in sweet potatoes
and the rest in peas and gronnd peas,
would fatten all the hogs required on the
farm—with a very small amount of labor
expanded—as tbe hogs could gather the
crops for themselves.
$WEET POTATOES. ' ; r
Slips may be put out until the 20th of
the month (nr even later in the extreme
South) aud if the seasons arc good still
make a fine crop. The chief reliance, how
ever, must bo on those put out in May.—
Push them on as rapidly as possible, by
working them often. See to it that the
vines are not covered up—move them out
of the way when necessary, to avoid cover
ing them up; for wherever Juried,they take
root, and form tubers, aud tbe strength of
the plant is frittered away in making a large
number of small, worthless potatoes. In
the warmer portions of the 1 South, espe
cially along the coast whore the land is lev
el and moist, slips may be put ont in July,
or, as is often done, portions of the vines
from the first planting may be placed in a
trench and covered at interval', leaviog
small uncovered patches a foot or eighteen
inches apart. If not loo dry7 vines thus
treated take root and produce very good
tuben—theie latter keeping better through
the winter than the earlier planted potatoes,
In the hilly regions of the or untry we
would recommend a trial of tMs method on
light sandy bottoms, putting oot the vines
about the last ol June or first of July, and
if possible just before a rain
Wheat intended for the mill should be
ent before it is dead ripe—that for seed
should be fully matured. Put up in small
shocks, and if . the weather is dry, houso as
soon as possible. Thrco days of good
weather will cure it sufficiently.
Oa's for feed should bo cut as they be
gin fairly to torn; they will waste less and
tbe straw will be softer and more palatable
to stock.

Southern Cultivator. . . Iri
Tbe excellence ot O reliarti t.ra.-s-
We havelatchr come upon several state
ments touching the value of i>rclmrd grass,
and records of profitable experience with
the same, ail of whom seem worthy of rep
etition, and ought to carry weight with the
readers of these columns.
Simon Brown, of the New England
Farmer, a well known agricultural authori
ty, Bays cows are very fond of this variety;
as a pasture grass it affords an early bite;
as a crop for hay sowed with red clover, it
is of high order; sheep seek it in prefer
ence to other forage; it exhausts the soil less
than rye, grasses or timothy; it will endure
considerable shade, and because its fibrous
roots extend to long distances and run deep
it has special power in resisting the effects
of drouth.
For these reasons Mr. Brown thinks we
do not cultivate orchard grass (sometimes
called rough cock’s-foot) to half the extent
which would prove profitable.
Another writer in the same paper bears
similar strong testimony, aod says orchard
grass does not incline to head out the first
year, but grows leaves that make the soft-
test and best of hay for milch cows aod for
yoaDg stock.
He directs that the first crop be cut as
soon as it begins to lie down or look gray.
At the second mowing, the clover will have
made stems, and perhaps blossoms, and
thereby add much weight and virtue to the
hay.
The late Judge Bnel used to say he pre
ferred orchard grass to almost any other;
and here we have that veteran A. B. Al
len (with whose testimony we close tho esse)
writing as follows to a friend :
“Orchard grass is the earliest aod latest
of all grasses we grow, and a great yielder
in good land. I have seen two tons per
acre, year after year, among apple trees,
which grew so large and close together as
to completely shade the ground. What
other grass will do this ?
I have written an article on this subject
on an -average, perhaps, of every three
years, for the past twenty years, and yet how
little good it seems to do; farmers continae
to inquire after it, as if a "ord had never
been said.”—Tennessee Agriculturalist.
How to make good Cement Walks.
Good walks are convenient and attractive
about city residences, but we consider them
as indispensable to the health and comfort
of tbe families living in tho country, to say
nothiug of the air of neatness, order and
thrift, they impart to rura 1 homes.
Too little attention is paid to this matter
of walks; it is often the case that abont the
residences of woll-to-do farmers it is ut
terly impossible to walk twenty steps after
a hard rain without sinking in mnd sever
al inches. There is no excuse for such
neglect as this, and if a mistaken economy
restrains owners from incurring the ex
pense of laying down brick walks, we most
say that the saving in dollars and cents is
more than lost in doctor’s bills made neces
sary by colds, coughs and other ailments in
duced by mud, and slosh, resulting from
the absence of good walks.
The following directions from the Scien
tific American will enable any one to make
a walk that will last better than brick :
Having previously graded and rolled the
ground, heat your tar very hot, and with a
long handled dipper begin at one end of a
pile of quite course gravel, pouring on the
tar, quickly shoveling over and over so as
to mix thoroughly. Cover the ground two
and a half or three inches deep with the
tarred gravel and then roll. Clean the
roller with a broom as you proceed. Then
put on a layer of fine tarred gravel, oac
and a half inches thick and roll. Then
sprinkle the surface with hot tar, spread
ing the tar with a broom; finally cover the
surface with a light coat of fine sand, and
your walk is complete, ready for use. It
will improve in hardness by age. Provide
portable tar kettles, screens aud rollers not
very heavy, and tools for systematic work,
and you can hardly fail to derive satisfac
tion.—Home Journal.
Itust iu Wheat—Insects-—llog Cholera,
Boonville, April 28,1871.
Eds. Agriculturist:—As you publish
ed my former letter, and paid such a flatter
ing compliment to our county in your edi
torial, and expressed a desire to hear from
ns ofteu, I am constrained to write again.
Our Club %iet since my last, discussed the
best mode of planting and cultivating coro.
You no doubt have seen a synopsis of the
discussion as reported in the Lincoln county
News.
The object rf this writing is to call the
attention of larotcrs to the investigation of
rust in wheat aod oats—the cause and how
to prevent it. This destructive disease is
making its appearance now, in many places
in this county.
The next is insects, the cause of them
aud how to destroy them. There arc now
powerful armies of them, laying waste and
destroying the early crops of vegetatb. a ia
this county, and if these two evils increase
as fast for the rext twenty years as they
have for tho last twenty, with the sterility
of tbe soil, the natural increase of popula
tion of this county will not be able to ob
tain the actual necessaries of life.
The next is hog cholera. This malady
has been more fatal to the hog family than
all other diseases that has ever invaded his
lazy lordship. I have been paying some
altentioD to this discaso, its cause and cure,
for the last ten years. I have troated it in
all its stag.-s with success. I have dissect
ed them, when they died, before and after
purging. From these investigations, I camo
to the following conclusions: That calomel
was a care and preven ive. If your hog is
sick, and not purging, give him 60 grains
of calomel. If he is purging, give twenty
grains calomel every two hours, combined
with thirty drops lananum, uadi you have
have given the 60 grains and 90 drops of
laudanum.
To use as a preventative, give 20 grains
to each hog every third day, until the ap
pearance of the disease subsides. Weigh
the calomel, mix with a sufficient amount
of corn meal, make into dongh and give to
them. Where they are so sick they will
not eat, stir the calomel in molasses and
drench them.
I will give yon the history of my expe
rience, etc., some other rime.

Turning Down Green .Crops—It has
got into the papers that plowing down grecu
crops produces acid in the soil from the
decomposition which is hurtfnl to crops;
that it is better to turn under when the
crop is matured, that the decomposition
will then be slower, and no hurt will result.
This- is doubtless true with vdno soils—
those deficient in alkaline matter. But as
most soils contain lime and potash and oth
er kindred material, this acid is not only
harmless but teuefieial, as it unites with
the .alkalies making plant food, which oth
erwise might lie as it already has for ages,
useless to vegetation.
It is for this reason that the turning un
der of green crops is highly recommended,
not because its chemical action is knowu,
but because experience bos demonstrated
its advantage. The great majority of cases
have demonstrated that it is a good thing
to. turn down the full, blossoming, succulent
arc most always | res-
takc u|> and unite with
where the aeid-s remain
free, would it not bo well to sprinkle the
clover with lime before plowing or previous
ly apply it to the soil? In such a case,
liure would be a benefit in any event, as
the soil requires it.— Utica Herald.
Cbeap Trellis for Tomatoes, etc.
Tbe Journal of Horticulture furnishes
the fallowing cheap plan fur forming trellis
for tomatoes and o her runniug plant.-:
I plant posts (common fence posts will
do) about thirty to fifty feet apart, in the
rows of tomatoes, or other plants to be
trained; then stretch lightly lrom post to
post, two No. 16 wires (g Wanned is best),
one about eighteen inches and the other
thirty-six inches above the ground. At in
tervals between th se posts I drive down
two or three small stakes, and tie the wires
to them, to prevent their sagging or moving
sideways too much. For tomatoes I thor
oughly enrich the soil, and set the plants
about four feet apart. As they grow I
train them iu fan shape by loosely tying
the branches, first to the lower wire, aod in
due time to the upper wire. All side
shoots not needed to cover the space alloted
to each plant are pruned away, and the oth
ers, after growing three or four inches
above the top wire, are pinched in, and
kept at this height. Thus each vine cov
ers about twelve sxuare feet of space. They
are fully exposed to sun, light, and air;
they ripen well and early; the fruit does
not rot nor get soiled, and is very easily
gathered; and vines thus trained produce
abundantly.
This mode of training is very success
ful with me. I use the same kind of trel
lis for blackberry and raspberry vines or
bushes, placing wires at heights to suit,
and find them the cheapest and best of any
thing thus far tried. A pound of No. 16
wire contains one hundred and two feet in
length, and cost fifteen to twenty cents.
This makes a cheaper trellis than wood, and
is far better in many respects, and is easily
kept in repair, or may be removed and pat
up again without much labor.
Cabbages.
A good and rather stiff loam is tho best
adapted to cabbages. They require a con
siderable portion of manure if the iand is
not naturally rich, or if they arc cultivated
as a part ofa regular rotation. The cause
of failure is generally in the careless man
ner of planting.
The ground having been well prepared
and being in good heart and trnth, tho
plow should open a deep and narrow fur
row. Tho plants having boon carefully
taken up without breaking tbe fibres of the
roots, the tops should be cut off to about
two inches from the crown; then from a
basket were the plants should bo carefully
laid, dip the roots of each plant in a pail of
moisture formed by mixing rich mold with
urine to the consistency of soft mnd,* drop
ping the plants in tbe furrow two feet
apart. A slight push will cause them to
adhere to the fresh soil, and this treatment
will seldom fail. The repeated use of the
plow between the rows is necessary tor the
growth of the cabbages as well as highly
useful to the land. By this mode of cult>
vation much labor is saved, and if the
ground has boon well prepared and suffi
ciently manured, an astonishing weight of
solid food for cattle is obtained, which, in
my humble opinion, is far preferable to any
of the root crops Tbe best sort to plant in
tbo field is the large red, or tho Scotch
Drumhead Cabbage.
More Attention to the Garden.—
No part of the farm can be made more
profitable. It will be surprising to those
who have not tried it, how much may be
obtained from a well cultivated garden, to
wards supplying tbe table all through the
summer and antumn months with fresh,
nutritious and palatable food—the early let
tuce, radishes, asparagus, peas, unions early
potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, beans, sweet
corn, cucutnb. rs, squashes and melons.—
Then there arc fruits; delicious strawber
ries for tho breakfast or tea table, or for
dessert at dinner, instead of costly pud
dings or pics; the raspberry, currant, or the
white or black thimbleberry, that will grow
oa almost any soil. TResc are healthful,
and highly appreciated by all, especially
the children, and are altogether more whole
some than much meat it. hot weather.
Strong Arguments 111 Favor of Grass.
We have advooated the more general
sowing of grass by our farmers, and a con
sequent less cultivation of the grains. A
lato number of the Columbia Ilorald fur
nishes us the following strong argument in
favor of the grasses-
Tom Jones has two meadows near
Jones Academy. Th} one on the north
side of the Mt. Pleasant turnpike contains
one acre. He sold off this acre to John I*.
McGaw's Livery Stable, $55 worth of hay,
and carried three loads home. The mead
ow ou the south of the road contains eigh
teen aares, and he sold thirty-five dollars’
worth of hay per acre, after pasturing; it
eight months in the year. The pastcring
was worth at least fivo dollars per acre.
Alsike Clover.—This is a perennial
spcciesof clover, and obtains its name Alsi
ke, in Sweden. It attains its greatest lux
uriance in the second or third year after
having been sowd, and makes but little
growth the first year. It does best on clay
ed soils with a moist position. It is more
hardy than rod clover, and flourishes well
on moist sod, and on land that is plowed
where red clover will oot grow; no second
crop, however, can ba expected from it, as
from tbe ctliRr for it grows but little after
beieg mowed. When mixed with white clo
ver it yields rich and certain crops.
On one estate in Sweden, where 20
acres were set apart for raising seed, tho
average annual production for five years,
was 133 pounds per acre, and one year the
production was 200 ponnds per acre. Tho
Alsike is highly esteemed as pasturage for
bees, aod some apiarians stato that better
returns are derived from it than any other
food.
Batter Making.
A correspondent of the American Agri
culturist writes as follows:
When the milk is brought in and strain
ed, set the pans one at a tirno over a kettle
half full of boiling water, and let them re
main until the milk is thoroughly scalded;
this is to be repeated the next day, and tho
milk then set aside in the pantry adjoin
ing the sitting room or kitchen, and kept
comfortable warm until fit to skim; the
cream is to be kept in loosly covered jars,
in the samo temperature, and well stirred
every time fresh cream is added; and churn
ed at least once a week; tho batter will be
as sweet and almost as rich as in June or
October. If an orange carrot be grated
fine, a little warm water poured on it, and
the jucc pressed out, strained and stirred in
tl-o cream before churning, tho butter will
be of a beautiful golden yellow.

Tanning Leather.—1 send you a re
cipe for tanning leather, whioh may prove
useful to any farmer who is not acquainted
with it. Soak the hide eight or nine days
in water, then put it in lime, and lot it re
main about the samo length of time; take
it nut, and remove the hair by rubbing it,
and soak it in clear water until the lime is
entirely out. Put one pound of a]am to
three of salt, dsssolvc in a vessel sufficiently
largo to held the hide; soak the hido three
or four days, then lake it out, let it get half
dry, and then neat or rub it natil it be
come pliable. Leather prepared by this
process will not do so well for shoes, but
answers well for .ham-strings, back-bands
and various other purpoies on tho farm.—

Xcar Cedar Bluff l \ Ala., Feb. 23,1871.
Mas sits J. k. 8. Boa kb A Co:—Bear Sirs:—I have given
the 16 inch Mill (Coleman's) bought of you, a thorough test,
and can best express myself perfectly satisfied,
The Power applied was the rdnoing gear of my Gin,
which, although in very bad order, was sufficient to grind
ONE BUSHEL of Gorn, (by tho watch), in ELEVEN
MINUTES.
I find it no trouble to do all my grinding before break fast.
Several of my neighbors were present at the time, and all
wero perfectly, satisfied with tho result, and astonished at
tbe quality of meal produced in so short a rime. I prefer
the meal to any Steam Mill meal.
Respectfully yours,
H. H. MILLER.
P. S.—The socond 16 inch Mill I bought of you for the
Foster farm, since the above was written, has been tested
and works 'as well, or better, than the first. It is a com
plete Mill.
give a ful! guarantee with every piece of Machinery sold.
