AGRICULTURAL.

Hints for the Month. The most important work for August is the preparation of the ground for fall seeding. Summer fallows are to be worked, and stubble grounds plowed the latter should bo turned over a- soon as posi Bible after being cleared of grain. Time is wanted for weeds to start before the final working preceding the sowing, and it is better to let the soil rceeive the good effects of the air, sun and raiu, and become light and pulverized before tlie seed is deposited in it. At least the stubble should be well harrowed or gangplowed early to start the weeds:

Seed.—The selection of seed is a matter of great importance to the wheat grower, a profit or loss on a crop are often dependent on the variety sown, too late in ripening it is in danger from rust and weevil, and early kinds are apt to be tender under exposure to severe climates. Farmers should improve all opportunities to experiment with new varieties, and make themselves acquainted with their characteristics. What they want is a white wheat, one that is hardy, prolific and early. It must stand our Northern winters, yield well and harden the berry before the time of the weevil.

The Diehl wheat, is one of the most promising of the new varieties, and it is spoken well of by some of our best farmers who have grown it. It is a bald, white wheat, the straw is stiff, the kernels set very compact on the head. It ripens as early as the amber. It is certainly "worthy »f further trial," as the fruit men say. At any rate, let the farmer carefully select his seed, sowing only the best and by observation and inquiry among his neighbors, learn what varieties are the most promising, judging by their record during the past two or three years. v£^jg -.¥

Stuck.—Hogs should be well fed during t\us month they may glean the stubbles, but be careful that tYie^ don't get unruly. It is

lifly

time" with )ioru»

and the working teams are more comfortable in a clean, cool, room)' stable than in an exposed pasture. Stabled horses will do euough more work than pastured ones to pay the increased trouble and their keeping is cheaper. See that all stock has plenty of water.

Stulddfs should be rake

Mow fence corners aud swales to kill weeds aud secure fodder. Many a cow might be wintered on fodder saved from the bye places of farms.

Harvest Tools should all lie secured from the weather. Make a memorandum of repairs needed on them. It will refresh your memory for work in the shop on some stormy day.

I'nderdrains may be cut through swamps and wet laDds, and muck gathered for manurial uses.

Weed*.—Briars, elders and bushes of all kinds should be cut this montlr Pull weeds IVom the potato fields.

Thrash out stacked grain soon, and take pains to stack straw so that it will be worth something for stock next winter.

Cultivating.—It is not too late to benefit backward corn and potatoes by cultivating them.

Meadows.—Draw manure oil to old meadows, and in all places where it is possible to irrigate the grass, do so. There is a mine of wealth in our brooks and rivers that farmers have not yet worked. We want^ the water on our

Cows Holding up their Milk. A farmer observes that he was troubled with a cow holding up her milk, and he ceuld devise no means to remedy the evil, when his son, only nine years old, took the management of the cow, in this respect, and succeeded well. This son was afterward at his uncle's, who had the Bame trouble, and feared that he should lose his cow, as she had not given down any milk for several days the boy said that he could milk her. IIo went to work performing the operation precisely as though the cow gave down her milk, though for some time she gave none he still persevered, and after some time tho milk flowed frcoly)sand he obtaiued near ly two pails full

This showed that mildness aud steady persevorance is necessary in this business Some persons become fretful if they can not succeed in milking, and then abuse the cow for her obstinacy, instead of persevering and succeeding as they might in many cases. It is doubtless most natural and easy for a cow to give down her milk, and when she holds it up she puts herself under a restraint, and this requires constant exertion, of which she will become tired after awhile, if the milker perseveres. These are our views, and we advise those who are so unfortunate as to have a case of this kind to try the effect of perseverance, if necessary.

Smoking and Quieting Bees. A communication in the American Bee Journal assumes that the best material to burn for smoking or quieting bee's is rotten wood, such as may be pulverized by the hand. It has not the bad effects of ,tobacco or old rags. Take a common fire-shovel with a few glowing coals and place the rotten wood on these and blow the smoke into the entrance of the hive. This will soon quiet, but not stupify or kill the bees. It may be necessary sometimes to repeat the smoking before the operation about the swarm is completed.

Potato Hot—How to Stop It. At late meeting of tho Iustituto Farmers Club, New York, James Warreu Monroe, Iowa, read an essay on the cultivation of the potato. This naturally brought in the subject of the rot, which imputed to carelessness iu not Be-' leoting seed from such hills as produce fully ripened potato balls. The absence of these, on a potato vine, is a suro sign of immaturity, aud although these potatoes will germinate aud produce others, the yield will diminish yearly, become diseased from weakness and finally die out from exhaustion. To bring back the potato, to its former productiveness, the seod must be selected from those hills or stalks producing balls and these only. In this way the tendency to rot will be checked aud the old-fashioned productiveness restored. This is a sensible view of the subject, and probably a correct one.

Vitiated seed will naturally be followed by an immature and diseased progeny. Plant only perfect tubers, and the potato disease, it is assumed, will soon be among tho things of the past.

Why Sows Destroy their Young. A writer io the American Stoelc Journal thinks that eoetiveness and its accompanying evils are tho main causes of sows destroying their youug, and proper food the preventive aud cur#. He says he has ''uever k« wn sow to eat her pigs in autumn, when running at large with plenty of green food.: but, with hardly any exception, BOWS littering early in the spring are troubled witJi postiveuess, which is frequently so sevors »s to be accompanied with inflamed eyoa, great restlessness, and other signs of sufferingThis restlessness sometimes increases till it amounts to frenzy. Have had them become so savage as to attack me fiercely, through at other times perfectly geutle. Lf not stopped, this frenzy ni iy increase with the pains of labor, and the sow will thou destroy hor young, or any other living thing within her reach. Cure tho costivencss, and this restlessness and irritation will be cured, aud if she was a good natured sow she will become gentle aud quiet again." -J

Potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots or paranips, or any vegetable that will have a tendency to opeu the bowels, are recommended.

Colic In Horses. We are informed by a gentleman who has given much attention to the diseases to which horses are liable, that the following remedy is a safe and effective oue. It iu certainly simple, aud if administered with proper prudencc, WO lire not BWaro that it would do auy harm to the animal if it did not effcet a cure. We give it the more readily because it is a remedy always at hand, namely:—

Dissolve as much salt iu a "quart of pure water as may be required thorouglito saturate the liquid, and dronch the patient with one half of it. If symptoms of relief are not noticed in fifteen minutes or half an hour, givo the remainder. He states that this remedy has proved entirely successful in very severe cases, where othor more complicated medcincs had failed.

There are two kinds of colic, flatulent colic, and spasmodic colic. In the first it is occasioned by the tho enlargement of tho intestines by the food passing through the process of fermcntion, instead of digestion. Gases are largely generated, and hence the distention and pain.

iipl tisi

fl 'yp*

The spasmodic colie, which is accompanied by more excruciating pains than the former, is caused by a contraction of ||g§ a portion of the small intestines. In kiCK either case, to force down various pungent aud violent remedies is dangcro cruel.—A. tj. farmer.

Potatoes for Fattening Animals. We have ropeatedly expressed a favor able opinion of potatoes for fattening stock—an opinion, which, though oppos cd to the theories of some, wo believe'to be based on fact. Tho following extract from a letter of a gentleman of extensile practice as a farmer, corresponds gener ally with our own experience: "Those

persons, who are of opinion that potatoes can not fatten either hogs or cattle, are very much mistaken indeed. I know of no food I would prefer to fatten

hogg

upon than cooked potatoes, mixed cither with a little meal or bruised oats, mash ed and made into balls as large as a man a head, and laid on a shelf ^for twenty-four hours, to bccome a little sour. It will produce firm and transparent 'moat, and lard of a very superior quality, and at a chcaper rate than corn at twelve and

half ceuts per bushel, fed in the ears."
