HINTS FOR TIIK MONTH. July is a month of licat and harvest.

Commonlv it is the hottest month of. the

year yet' it is one wlutfi exacts severe

toil from the farmer, for it likewise takes "f

gross amount of h,y and grain harvested, I

cheerfully during the present July, for,

ceuerallv. the crops to be harvested are:

geuernlly, the crops to be harvested are

promising abundant rewards for toil.

Finer wheat fields we have never seen

even in those palmy wheat growing days when the rich harvest was so gulden

and famous in the Genesee Valley, than

recently ou a hurried trip through some

portions of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and

Illinois. Corn, so fur as we observed

stands well, and has a good color, though small: but we hear from some localities

serious complaints of the ravage* of the

of the cut worm. This post is becoming I

a formidable enemy to corn growers. Newly seeded grass fields will give heavy

crops, and the spring grown grains are

dependent only on sufficient rain to I

stock is wallowing knee-deep in it. AVhite clover is unusually plentiful. In

respect to grass the tirst three weeks of

•June made good all deficiencies caused

by cold and backward May. So, despite the forebodings caused by the wet chilly

'.spring, farmers have now a cheery har

vest prospect before thein. and the business prosperity of the country depends

^very much on the abundance of this

year's crop.

Thv Hay Firhf.—No crop deteriorates

faster than clover when it becomes over

ripe. Do not let the brown heads dot

the clover field. Cut it green, sun it a few hours, and let it sweat in the cock.

well, and shock carefully so as to shed

ruin. A great deal of graiu might be

saved from sprouting by careful nnd

skillful shocking. Rakj the stubbles.

Barley can be handled best unbound. Reap it. and if heavy and somewhat green

let the gavels dry a day. then cock it

with barley forks. In this condition it

will throw off ivdeal of rain and cure well. 1 the weather "i- extremely

'•iioon/iigs." .Strong tea, taken clear, is a refreshing beverage for the harvest

field it may be drank warm or iced,

though if taken hot it is equally refresh

ing and more healthful.

Thv Jlortl Cmps.—Machinery aids far

mers to such an extent that time is found

even in haying and harvesting to give

some attention to the hoed crops. This is necessary. The late season crowds the

work "nil in a heap.'' But hoeing can

hardly be tolerated—only with the horse,

-and you should so manage the work- as to

be able to run through the corn and po

tatoes even in haying time. While the

machine is mowing the men can cultivate.

Turnips.—May be sown in the corn and

potato field, if spaces is left vacant bv

Cdbbatjr.—For feeding to stock is a profitable crop. It is good all through

the autumn mouths, aud with little care and shelter may be kept good for stock

until the middle of winter. One acre of

cabbage is worth four of meadow for feeding cattle. Cabbage as well as tur

nips may be profitably grown in the corn field where worms have taken the corn.

The large flat Dutch. Drumhead and

Marblehead Mammoth arc excellent kinds in

Thf Summrr• Fiillnw—Should be thor

oughly harrowed. July is rather late to

plow a tough, old sod for wheat, espec

ially if the summer be a dry one. Clean

clover leys may be plowed late in the sea-

son—even in August, and if the work be

well done it is a good preparation for wheat without a second plowing. Collect

all the manure possible to give such fields a top-dressing with.

Meed*.—July is full of peril to the farmer from his great enemy—weeds. His danger is from their seeding. It is better that a shower of rain fall on the unbound Bheavcs thau for a shower of Canada thistle blossoms to fall oti the are earth.—Rural Neto Yorker.

BKET KUGAR. citizen of Illinois writes to the New \ork Farmers' Club as follows"

We think we have important news regarding beet sugar. Last year a number of enterprising capitalists of Springfield, 111., organized a company for the purpose of making beet sugar. The place select--scd was at Chatsworth, Livingston county,

strangely. It is nevertheless a fact, and

a gratifying one at that. While we do not suppose that it will ever prevail to

as great an extent as the "oil fever," we

do know to a positive certainty that it

possesses none of the uncertainties of

oil or silrer mining speculations. All

experience proves, that in no department

of horticulture are there such flattering inducements offered as in that of tha culture. The profits of a well

established cranberry plantation of, say

ten acres, in full bearing, are almost in

credible, and people are just beginning to

fully comprehend this important fact. It

is not surprising, therefore, that lands

adapted to the cranberry should be in great demand, and command high prices

—much higher indeed than land of any

other kind, and with a constantly advanc

ing tendency. As an illustration of thi.s uppreciation,

we wil) mention a case which came un

der our notice a few days since. A piece of cranberry land, on the Kast Fruitland

Tract, was offered for sale less than thirty

days ago at S20 per acre. The party to
