11^ rtlUUUHTS JTOR THE MONTH. Auy sue, who expects to farm successfully the present year, must bo ready to push work vigorously uow. The blacksmith's motto is, strike whou the irou is hot?the farmer's should be, plough whenever the ground is dry?and only then. If land has not beeu broken heretofore, lay off rows and bed up now, with a view to reversing beds beforo planting time. If this provisional bedding in advance was uuivoreally adopted, it would prevent the formation of mauy a gully. Defects in laying off rows could readily be discovered aud remedied whilst rebuilding. But if rpNs are permanently laid r~~ at first, and manure put iak defects are i cover corrected again that year, and, by the I end of the season, a permanent wash ia esi tablished. The proper time for rebedding 1 is determined by the nature of soil?if very JSX light and sandy, it is best to do the work r ourno time id aavaace or planting, 00 allow fcfY1 ,<sctt^DK" aQd compacting of the soil? C.j?pthorwise the surface dries off so rapidly, At becomes very diffioult to obtain a "?taad/' particularly of cotton. If tho land is "stitf," it iu better to delay tho operation longer. PUTTING IN MANURE. This, of course, ought to be done whilst . .rebodding. By plowiug out the water fnrtaw of the first bed very deep, 'the manure ^^^ y be put in very deep also, if desirOd.-^ ^?e proper depth is to be determined by circumstances. In day landfe, where both the noil and olimate are unfavorable to early maturity of cotton, it is best to put manure * in rather shallow, say 3 or 4 Inches below ^ the surface. But where there is no difficulty about the crop maturing* if the laud ia ; broken deep, it is well to put the fertiliser iu still deeper, as tho crop is then less liable ^ to be "buruod up" by it? /Where it is^put in deep, however, a small portion ought to be deposited witji tho seed when planted , to* push the crop forward at once. It is au excellent plan to distribute manuro, cover with two furrows, and finish bod just befprfe^ planting. This gives a cleqn bed evcrpK where, unless it be a narrow strip on tho tp^^i . wetted, and for tfiefiTwore edible portions ' to diffuse thei^solves,AhrbugJi tho adjacent soil. Commercial fertildfak majf be put in . last, their sinall^ffcUc requiring little water 1 . to wet them thoroughly# -There is not < much danger of ldaohing, except in ca&Mpf 1 very light sandy lands, add where ( applied is a nitrate?this phould never Ag i i applied long in advjmoo (iff the crop which ( is to bo fed on it. Tne same remark appliea ^ also to highly amthoniatedta&nures, for tho<. J ainmuuia is constantly disposed 10 coaucn into nitrates. T I PREPARATION FOR COJ&N. * Iuastnuch as fertilizers adapted to corn aro highly ammoointed, it is not a good po- < licy to apply the larger portion of them in 1 advance of the planting. A little put in tVe j drill and bodded on, probably answers a good ( purpose in making tho young corn strong ( and vigorous, but an abundance of food. in. ( tho early stogos of growth, encourage^the ^ formation of too much stalk?a tendency ^ ^ already too strong in our hot climate and j long summer* -The larger portion of the i manure applied at the second working, or I when the corn is ha^f leg to knee high, 1 seems to produce the heaviest oaring. At that stage, the corn uiay bo titled very closely without matorial damage, the spur or brace roots, which form soon after, repairing ahy injury done, and taking up, as needed, the manure last applied. We should be very glad to have reports of the big crops of corn made last year?mode <0f manuring, cultivating, &c. SPRING OATS. If fall sown oats have been killed out by oold, sow ovor again ; or, if you did not sow enough then, p it in more now. Don't sow spring oats on poor land?unless you are k ' willing to manure them well. A good ap' plication of stable manure, or cotton seed meal, or the crushed seed, (500 Ihs. per acre) nitrate soda, applied as a top-dressing the latter part ot March. If any of the phosphates arc used, the most highly ammoniatcd will be best?but none of them arc as highly amtnoniated-as-fchey o tight to bo for a grain crop?they are arranged to suit the wants of cotton, not grain. Peruke v'rnn guano and cottou seed are much better adapted to the latter. CLOVER AND GRASS. From the 15th February to the 15th March is the proper time to sow clorcr and i 1. ,il . II ___ winter grasses, wncuier upon smau grain or by themselves Wo repeat advice often given, sow a plenty of seed?clover 15 lbs. per aero, Orchard grates, two bushels, Herds and nine grass, one bushel each. Clover' and orchard grass make n good combination, as they arc ready to mow at same time.? Flcgaut pastures of blue grass can be made at the South, by thinning out pines in old fields, Where the soil is naturally strong and j stiff, burying off, sowing seed and lightly I harrowing .thorn in. It may be done either in spring or fall. None of the cultivated ; grasses grow well on poor land?they require a soil as rich as that required to make good wheat. BERMUDA GRASS. As many are seeking information concerning this grass, we devote a paragraph to it. The plant bears flowers in this coun- , try, but does not perfect seed?hence must | bo propagated by {tortious of its under- , groaMt^tcms^, i* to , drop pieces of these at short intervals in | fqrrows three feet apart and list on tKein. 2 By the second year it will be to poscssion of the land.
