AGRICULTURAL.

1 HINTS FOR APRIL. April is ODe of the busiest months of the year. A large portion of the Summer crops will now be put in, and in this operation some regard should be had to the natural, habits of each crop. Sprfng cror, of any of the rrade not yet sowed in full, should be first attended to and the sowing conipleted. adding clover or timothy where either is to follow a grain crop in the system 'of rotation pursued. Bat it must be added that fcfpriocr is a precarious season for attempting to start the young plants i;i a timothy meadow, the plant is hbro-bulb'ous, and, when young, throws out its fibrous roots sii very near to the purf'ace that, in early Summer, the earth parts with air its moisture by evaporation to a depth greater than that occupied by the horizontal strata of fibrous roots issuing from the little bulb of the timothy plant, and thus the whole crop per-, ishes in midsummer. The most auspicious period for sowing timothy is ia September with Winter gram, or in August for a crop the following year, a3 when Fown with fa Fall crop of wheat or rye it is over shadowed and dwartea so as to come into crop the followiug year. Among the early jobs to be begun or completed in April is that of planting , the Irish potato i crop which is one of the most singular punts in its habits we have in cultivation. When growing, its leaves cannot bear the slightest frost, and yet it delights in the eool weather of Spring and autumn, and generally, when planted so late as not to have formed young potatoes on the coming of the hot weather in midsummer, will fail to form any at all. Early plantinc, therefore, seenres the-best returns, and is allowable inasmuch as the potato is a good while coming up. Those who would cultivate the potato profitably, should; select good ground, in clean tilth, and planting in drills thirty inches apart, keep the crop perfectly clear of , weeds by using the harrow just' before the plants come up, and the cultivator afterwards until the plants are some ten inches high, and ju?t ready to fall over, when, by a single furrow from a double mold board plow, or two furrows from a siugle mold-board plow, thd cultivation should be finished, closely filtering the loose dirt in among the plants from either aide.' In districts 01 country where .hemp is one of the farmers' crops, it i.s better to sow this crop before than after planting the corn crop. Hemp seed will vegetate at a low temperature, and the plant is not injured ' by a slight frost, and, besides, it is injuring the success of the hemp crop to get it to attain such a height and vigor cf leaf as will cover the ground before the hot dry days of June. The great crop, however, of this region is the1 corn crop, and whilst we think the pitching of this crop should be delayed until the departure of .rests, yet we think experience warrants the belief that early planting is desirable. In July, when Summer is at its greatest heat, if the corn plant, during the earlier stages of the growing season, has been well cared for and has attained a vigorous young growth, it will, at thi period, develop rapidly, requiring obly a few weeks of hot weather and seasonable rains to reach its highest perfection. But, as the corn plant needs both moisture and hot weather, prudeucc dictates to us the selection of that peiiod iu Summer for its growth which wiil be most likely to furnish those two elements of thrift, moisture and heat, at that stage of the life of the corn plant when thf y are most needed. Experience and registration of the weather leave no doubt that, as a general rule, the winter accumulation of surface water, which is gradually exhausted by evaporation, furnishes a better supply of moisture for early summer than that which appertains to September, which is the closing month of the growing season, for which reason a corn crop planted to mature in September instead of August, is much the more uncertain of the two. KITCHEN GARDEN'. Parsnip, salsify, and carrots for family use should be sown early in April, upon ground in good heart, and, if possible, free of the seeds of grasses or weeds. These crops grow siowly when younsr. and farmers, of all persons, are dispose-i to abandon them to tho mercy of weeds if their -: culture conflicts with that of the sta- j pic crops. Early sowing is necessary I in order to insure the wgfation of j these light see Js by giving tl -m the ' benefit of the gentle showers cf early 1 Spring. Cabbages should be transplanted to the open irround early iu Apr,!: the Early York in rows three feet apart; i plants in the row two feet apart. I Drumheads require greater space, j probably three feet q iare, is a good : ditanee, or, for fa i-illty of cultivation, j three aud a half feet by two a ud ai half. - ; Towards the lat:er tud of April or ', bfiinniti of .May, laige. Drumhead j cabbage .-eed should ha .-own either in i drills to be cultivated or broadcast on well burnt beds, iu order to raise ' plants for a winter crop, which should j be transplanted ou goo. 1 irround about i the first of July, and well cultivated, i in order to grow aud head durius the ' Fall rains. W m Rurally. KEXTl't'KY IKOP NEWS. j Agricultural: iAtters from Va- ; rious rtarts of she county inform us j that the prospects for a good crop uf i wheat are much better thau thev were '

considered a few weeks ago. In fact, wherever the proper care has been taken, the crop' looks very promising. A note from Moscow says most of the farmers ia that locality intend raising tobacco this year instead of cotton. Their experience in growing cotton during the past three or four years has convinced them that tobacco is far the most profitable crop in this section. Columbus Dispatch, 12th. The wheat crop is not a failure in this county, as many have often predicted, nor is it so far a half failure1. On the contrary, if no unforeseen calamity overtakes it after this time, Lincoln County will have a full crop, and will Siend down the vales A greeting to the mills, on the dud thunder Of alternate flails." The reoent rains and balmy days have covered the brown fields all over the country with a beautiful carpet of emerald. Mark our prediction! If the crops escape the u(, the sickle of a Lincoln. County farmer has rarely entered sich a wheat harvest as will

be presented to it about the 4th or 10th of July, 186S. Stanford Banner, 12th. We have, with our own eyes, been examining the wheat prospects of this county, and this is the result of our observation: Many fields that looked bare two weeks ago, and in which the wheat was supposed to be killed) are now fast getting a covering of green, while those fields that were supposed to be in tolerably fair fix, are now getting rac k with the green blades of the young wheat. The prospects bow for a good crop look more than fair. We have seen some fields of wheat that are unsurpassed, and none that will" not turn out well. Lexington Statesman, 10th. We are fiatisfied that the small grain crops wh-sat, rye, and barley are not so badly kilicd-out as we were led to believe. We have seen some very good fields of wheat, and none better than that of our old friend Mr. Ed. Oldham's, who is one of the best farmers iri Kentucky. ?Tis seldom that he Jails to have good crops, and the reason is that he never fails to put his grcund in good order to receive the seed.. Good tillage makes a good yield. Lexington Statesman. The fine weather of the last few days has been favorable for the wheat, or, at least., what there is left of it. We understand from our agricultural friends that the prospect is a gloomy one for a crop of auy consequence, and the indications are that we will have to depend mainly on the "corndoducr"to furnish us the "staff of life" the coming season. Danville Advocate, lljth. Our fa mors say there is no sign of a prospect for wheat this year. The wheat has ail fozen out, leaving the fields perfectly bare. As our farmers have met with but little success in sowing Spring wheat they have no faith in it. We will be entirely without a wheat crop this year, aud will have to live- on corn dodgers for a while. Muysville Bulletin, ath. The wheit crop in some sections seems to btt more promising than it was thought to be a whiie back. Two of our far t.crs, whose lands lie on opposite sides-of the same road, bring d iff-.' rent reports. The wheat of one looks very well, indeed; the other expects to plow his up and plant corn. Ibid. Crops. It is gratifying to notice the change which has taken place in the last two or three weeks, in reeard to th wheat and other crops. Notwithstanding the seve-ity of the Winter, our exchanges from all parts of the State give very flattering accounts of the prospect in their respective sections. From the Unlontowa Appeal, 12th. The' whetit crop will not be a total failure iu this part of the country, as was supposed. Many fields begin to look green r.hat were considered lost. Wheat will be thin upon them. We learn that thewhatin Kenton, Campbell, Bracken, and Boone Counties is looking unusually well. The cold weather caused some damage to the lat? wheat, but, with thi.i exception, the yjoutise of a fine crop is very cood. Ciwihnoti Cfimnwrciil. 25.'t. w . The wheat crop of Simpson C-junty. and so fur a we are able to learn f rom adjoining counties, was t-ever better, and the pro-peet for a large yield is as good, ir not better, th ui any previous year withm the knowledge "of old citiz; u. The fcffeet of the late freeze-, so much drooled, are on'y slight if at all damaging. Fr-iuldin -V' n'inrl, 21. fFroni the Bowling Oreen Pemocrat, ilst. The Whsat Chop. The favorable weather with which - the Sprinu has opened ha? materially, improved the apt-c-.iruaee of the growing wheat in thin section, and the 'atuiers retort that it was not so scriou.t-.y injured by the hard !reeze vi last Winter as was at one time upro-ed. At present the prospect b'nis fair for an average yield. ZIEIiXPHIS CARDS. . ( AKTM El.E, Late . I 'A lliums, Cartuiell A ' ., Meiupiiis, Tt-uu.
