THE; FARM & HOUSEHOLD, General Work for March. Buildings may be repaired and painted, inside and out. As soon as settled spiing weather comes, set fences, and repair them wherever needed. Pick up stones loosened by the frost; blast and haul off or bury large ones out of the way of the plow. Plow as soon as the ground is dry. Sow spring grass as soon as it is warm. Put in a crop of peas, or peas and oats. Peas alone, in drills, on good soil, will be off in time to plow for wheat or turnips to follow. But biennial weeds, docks, thistles, etc. Grub up fence rows and corners where shrubs and briers have got a start. Harrowing and rolling meadows and winter wheat, as soon as the frost is out, is an operation which pays. The ordinary loDg toothed harrow should not be ued, but a har row for this especial purpose, with a large number of short, fine teeth. The roots of grains and grasses are raised to the surface by the constant and severe freezings of winter, and by passing the roller over the field in the spring, the roots are pressed into the soil, so that they can at once take hold and grow. It is frequently the cise that the use of the roller in wheat fields and meadows in the spring will apparently double the number of the plants. Increase the feed and exercise of farm horses, and groom well, to pre pare them for hard spring work. Keep all horses, but especially mares with foal, sharp shod for fear of slip ping on patches of ice. Turn unused horses loose an hour or two daily, one at a time, lest in play they kick each other'. Groom oxen and cows and feed well, to prepare the oxen lor work. Do not task them too heavily at first; if unused during the winter their necks and feet will be tender. Look to cows at calving time, giving personal attention and aid if required. Feed some roots daily, both before and after calving. Remove the calf at once if it is to be taken away, and milk the cow dry; otherwise let the cow lick the calf clean, allow it to suck, and then milk the cow dry at once. See that all cows are milked dry, twice a day, and it is best to milk young cows three times a day; it increases the tenden cy to secrete milk. Increase the amount of meal to fattening animals, that they may ripen up the faster as soon as they get grass. Throw sods every few days to the hogs and poul try if confined. Keep sows with young pigs warmly sheltered. Iso late breeding sows in warm, well etrawed pens. Feed raw potatoes or other roots, sprinkled with a little meal, daily, to counteract any ten dency to constipation. Charcoal dust promotes digestion, provide abundant water and salt for all ani mals, and watch the health of all, re moving those that are anyways ailing to comfortable but isolated quarters. If short of fodder, make it up by cutting and cooking what you have with roots and grain. Bermuda Brass. This grass is one of most easily grown, and furnishes the best pastu rage for sheep or cattle. The im pression prevails, that it will take en tire possession of the soil, and can not be eradicated. This is a great mistake. The grass once planted will extend over the entire surface in a very short space of time, from a few roots. The roots run down deeply into the soil, and the grass is not propagated from the roots, but from the eyes of the grass, which eyes are similar to those of cane It sprouts from the eyes, which are found in the stubble lying near the surface. When desirous of destroying the grass, it is only necessary to graze the land. The trampling of the ani mals prevents the runners of extend ing, and gradually destroys the eyes. When about to prepare the land for a crop, it should bo turned over with a two horse Brinley, or some other light plow, in the month of August, and allowed to remain for three days exposed to the sum, then thoroughly harrowed with a two horse iron tooth harrow, which thor oughly cuts the turf. When har rowed; it should be piled up in the field, and hauled out, or burnt when dry. The harrowing should be continued till the land becomes thor oughly pulverized. When thus pre pared, it is in the best possible con dition for a wheat crop. The above plan has been thor oughly tested by Mr. C. L. Few, of Oconee County, one of Georgia’s most enterprising farmers. Things Worth Knowing. Borax will soften the hardest wa ter. Use a teaspoonful of the pow dered borax to a quart of water, to keep flowers from withering, drop a few grains of salt in the water in which they are kept, and they will remain bright and fresh-looking for some time. A strong solution of carbolic acid and water, poured into holes, kills all the ants it touches, and the sur vivors take themselves off. To clean shells, make lye by boil ing strong ashes, and allow it to set tle; pour the lye over the shells, and boil them six or seven hours,or longer if they are large; then soak and wash them in fresh water. Note paper may be effectually scented by keeping in your desk, among the paper, a sachet of the scent preferred—musk, violet, etc. If the paper be not too dry, it will readily take the scent, and retain it a long time. To cleanse and bleach ladies’ straw hats, wash them in pure water, scrubbing frhem with a brush. Then put them in a box in which has been set a saucer of burning sulphur. Cover them up so that the fumes may bleach them. A tablespoonful of black pepper put in the water in which gray and buff linens are washed, will keep thtm from spotting. It will also generally keep the colors of black or colored cambrics or muslins from running, and does not harden the water. For chapped hands and lips, cracks and skin diseases, use the following: Spermaceti ten drachms, white wax one drachm, oil of almonds two fluid ounces; add to this four drachms of glycerine, in which three drops oil of roses have been mixed; stir constant ly until cold.
