When the sweet smiling Spring sheds bc fumes around, And music enchants every tree, With his glittering plow-share he furrow ground, With a mind independent and free. When Winter howls dismally over the ear},! And want tells hf>r talc at bis door, Serenely he sits at bis clean blazing hearth And dispenses r.-lief to the poor.

Hork for the Month. Thc Cultivator, for July, talks to farmer as follows in reference to should be done this month : Continue to work Cotton with sw< followed by the hoe, which will keep cl the weeds and encourage thc form.* mid retention of bolls. Deep and t plowing must not be continued, as it injure the roots, but the middles mus kept clean and soft by shallow worl and the.grass in thc drills taken out the hoe. In this way the crop ca laid by perfectly clean at so late a sc that the grass will not interfere much the comfort and neatness of the final ?.ration of picking. Corn is late tins ) ear, and a great has been planted where the cotton Ix -n plowed up, so that much is not laid by. It should receive constant face woi king until the blades meet ac the rows; work this crop always sweeps, after one or two thorough p! ings in its young stage. Cow Peas sb be sown among the corn, at its last w ing, and may still be sown broadcast hay, in good, rich land; for making; only thc earliest kinds are worth trj so late. Chinese Sugar Cane shoulc worked like corn, and ii the groun still moist, can still be sown for soi stock, as well as for winter forage. Sv Potatoes must be carefully worked, tin ing mellow, fresh earth upon the ridj and killing all the weeds; "Draws" ii still be set, which will make some eats roots, and plenty of seed for anot year. Turnips commence sowing I month, and continue to sow at inter; until the last of September. We soi times have, been able to make no tnrni except those sown this month. In ot years the September sown crop ah succeeded; Augustis commonly the mo: to sow. It is useless to soto this cr iinkss on thoroughly tilled and well ricked land J. On these it is most val ble, affording abundance of most exe lent food for man and beast. It may sown in rows and worked between, wh is best generally, but on land that is cc penned, they do well enough broaden July and August are the bas,t mon: for grubbing up sprouts and briars, ma nf which, if cut down now, will die, tl would spring up immediately if cut any other season. If new lands are to be cleared, ?til good time to cut down the undergrow too small for fencing purposes, so as let the brush dry. The sprouts are U likely to give trouble, and all work do at the leisure time after laying by, is much saved next winter. If your Wheat has not been thresh and sunned, get it out, and after thorouj canning, put it up in boxes or casks, the middle of the day, while hot. In basement or dry cellar, if it is thus p up, it will keep sound for two years, least. If it stand long unsunned, it wi be greatly damaged by weevil. HAY.-Cut grass and forage of a kinds, before it gets too ripe ; a litt after it is in bloom, is the proper tim Spread it out and let it dry until evening rake it up, before the dew falls, in lor and thick rows, and put it in heaps (a cording as it is moro or \SM-< cured) < from 50 io 100 lbs. If m??eTi cured, li it be put in large heaps ; let ic sweat i in the cock oi-cr night, and if prett green, also over another day ; these ope as soon as the dew is oft', and sprea them ?ut thin to cure ; turn the hay abot 10 o'clock, and after dinner it will soo be ready to haul. Stacks are frequent] so badly made that lt is better to put u hay in pens, sheltered by split board carefully laid over, "with a considerabl slope to the roof. Very few plantation have sufficient barn room. Log pens board roofs, cost but little, and the wast? from stacking hay and fodder is ver] great-the outside of a small stack, whicl ts a large proportion of the whole, being worthless, so far as exposed to wet. Many swampy places are now drj enough for ditching. Even if the ground ii? hard, it is better to dig ditches now. as hands ought not to be exposed, by do ing this sort of work during winter. These swampy soils not only yield, when made dry, thc very best returns of any part of the plantation, but on thew drain age, the health of the locality often en fcirely depends. The increased physician's bills, and* loss of time from sickness, is sufficient in one yaar, in some cases, to pay tor divining tire sw&mp from which arises^the diseases of the location, Jn this, as in every other month, all spare time should be given to the manu facture of manures, iiaui in leaves, rich earth from the fence sides, and vegetable matter of all kinds, on which to bed your stock. A great deal of this sort of stuff can be got from the vegetable garden, in the way of weeds, trash, izo. Take the rich earth from dains and ditches to your ?tack-yards. A few minutes spent thus every day, and th'? resalta of the stables, yards, ??c., put in the pile with rich dirt from any source, will give a surprisingly large accamulati?n in autumn. And most of this sort of work can be performed tj>y the younger and weaker hands. : And for the 'Gardener this saule Cul tivator man throws out tl r annexed hints: Continue W gather ?id store the crops of Oskxo, SW8s$ ft? irish potatoes, , not exposing the latter to the son while hot, buWig them in the cool of the day, and dry them in the shade, as directed iu the Southern Cultivator for J une. Gather also any medicinal herbs when in flower also, pot and sweet herbs, like Sweet Basil, Summer Savory and Sweet Marjo ram, which should be dried in the shade, and powdered, for winter use in soups. Parsley and Thyme can.be gathered fresh all the year as needed. Cucumbers for pickling should be picked, leaving an inch of stem, and put down in sah. Okra and Snap Beans may be cut up and dried, or put*down, like cucumber pickles, in salt. Now is the time lo make prepara tion for a fine fall garden. Considerable m mure should have been accumulated since spring. Clear off the remains of all early crops on ground left vacant, turn under all the weeds, dig up the ground deeply, apply manure to ;hc sur face and hoe" it lightly in, and replant with cabbage, celery and tomato p'lants, snap beans, corn, peas and ot;ier late crops. See that all spaces left vacant are dug up and rc-pjanted with late vege tables. Early and Large York cabbages, if now sown in beds and shaded during the day until up, will make nice plants for setting out in August, and will head during the autumn. Growji in this way they make fine winier cabbages. Sow Ruia linga and Sweet German Turnips, laking advantage of the first rain ; its soon as may be after the "20th of the month, begin to sow the common kinds. Turnips and Cabbages it is useless tn attempt to make, unless on rich ground and well dug. Lay off thc ground for w nter cab bage in trenches three feet apart, and G or ? inches deep, and have the bottom of the trenches made rich and dug deeply. A very light rain falling, will moisten these trenches enough to make .he plants succeed. At planting, remove most of ;he lower leaves, and Bet them pretty well in the ground. As they begin to grow, haul the earth gradually to their stems, until the trench is filled. If the worms attack them, take off a large lower leaf, and lay upon the top of the cabbage over night, "under which you will find a lot of worms, which inu-t be crushed. Rep:"!l this so long as may bc necessary. Do not gather the lower leaves for feed ing stock, as it is injurious, preventing the plants heading up well. Siberian Kale sown now, and cultivated like Iluta Baga, will form excellent winter greens. Hec?illto% we say again, all these plants nf thc cabbage end turnip kind, must be thoroughly nunntrcd, or they ' will be of no account. The whole secret k thorough culture ASD TLENTV OKMASURI?. Put in another crop of beets, which, if a stand is obtained, will furnish you sweet delicate roots all tho fall and winter. This is a crop of which your hogs and milch cows will consume any surplus you may make. English Peas planted tho last of the month often do very well in autumn, and the same may be said of Irish Pota toes. Endive may be sown. Melons and late Squashes may be puc in. Plant .Snap Beans and Corn for a succession ; also, thc table varieties of the Cow Pea, and the slips of the Yam Potatoes may be put in. Transplant at this season with great care, removing most of the leaves to prevent evaporation, and shading the plant by day. Still keep the ground light by frequent hoeing, guarding it against washing by horizontal culture, banks, and terracing. At this dry season every drop of water should be retained, which can be done, if the ground is suita bly laid off at first, to prevent washing, by means of proper terraces and banks. Earth up loosely thc growing crops. Dig th? weeds into the soil, or remove them to the compost heap ; use every endeavor to destroy insects. If your Squash vines die'suddenly, examine them for, and des troy the borers In the stem. Destroy aphides, &c, with infusions of tobacco, aloes, whale oil soap, eco. Turnips. "We wintered last season two cows, from the time grass failed until the 20th of February, upon turnips. These tur nips did not occupy one-half acre, and some 25 bushels had b*>.en used for other purposes. The roots being large and sweet, communicated no ill taste to but ter and milk except atone time fora day or two, when some partially decayed ones were intermixed with others. The yield of milk was better than we have ever been able to -obtain by any other mode of feeding. We gave them all they would consume of tops and bottoms, so they used but little straw. The soil in which the crop was grown, was a light sandy loam, moderately en riched in the spring for Irish Potatoes, and other garden crops, and after repeated plowings and harrowings, a good top dressing was applied of lot. manure, made by cow-penning stock upon woods earth through thc summer. This was harrowed in, and the seed sown broadcast, very thinly, upon the surface, when the ground was perfectly dry, and bushed in. We generally prefer sowing in drills, but in tending to 'oe absent through the autumn, we preferred broadcasting to leaving them for tho newly freed negroes to thin, in our absence. While in New York, a letter from home informed us that very few had come up, and the crop was a failure; but on our return, the first of November, we found the finest prospect of a crop we had ever witnessed at that season. A. light saudy loam is best for turnips, if made rich, because the small seed in such soils germinate better, the young plants grow off more rapidly, and are at maturity more smooth, regular and uni form in size, and of Better quality for table use. They succeed admirably on such lands newly cleared, with proper preparation-the ashes and mould an swering in place of manure. A good light soil plowed up in spring, and then cow-penned and plowed over and harrow ed repeatedly in ?fay, June and July, so as to germinata and kill a}l the seeds of weeds, leaving the ground clean and rael, low at the proper season", will make an excellent crop. If the soil ls not thus made rich enough, composted manure from the stable lot, Peruvian and Pacifiic guano, and bo:?e flour, will be found valu able applications. Above all others, gen uine Super-phosphate is likely to produce the best resuljts, as it has more visible effects upon ifeygrajp.cpap ^han any Other whatever/*^' The great causes of failure are two. The soil is not generally made rich enough, and is too generally left lumpy and ill! prepared, and full of the scads of weeds. In a turnip patch, no* a lump should be left unbroken, and all the eecd of weeds ?ihould have been germinated before sow. lng. Say? a recent-writer io the Country Gentleman : " A few years ago a neighbor helped me harvest turnips, arid was sq greatly pleased with the appearance of the crop, that he said h?; would %sure|y raise some next..year, IJe prepared a piece of new ground for?them, and wished nip fri come and sow - them for him the next day in the afternoon. I was hindered, so that it wes j gnfte late tn the afternoon before J got A ?ere. They had sown theturnips. I tw plainly that they would not.have to et help to harvest the crop. One day's .orle with a good smart team on that iree-qufcrters of an acre of ground, 'ould ht.ve put it in condition to yield .orri: 400 to ?00 b?shelu of turnips; as ; was, they got but fe'v. If 1 " were to ive any rule, I would say make the round what you would call mellow nough for wheat or barley, and then rork over the. soil as many more times s the seed of the turnip is smaller than grain of wheat." When the ground is thus thoroughly nade soft and fine, apply your Super ihosphate and other manures at the sur ace, and harrow in. Three hundred ?ounds to the acre,.of the latter, will pay, nit not as well ns'five. We prefer ap ilying Superphosphate, and sowing the eed in drills, fur hand culture, two feet ipart ; for the plow (a coulter or other iarrow plow must he used,) twenty-eight nenes will do.. If sown on a light bed, t will he more convenient for cultivation. ?Ye use a seed drill, which opens a ttHah nw mark, drops the seed just as thinly is wo. like, and covers it, with a roller, before wc had the seed drill, a quart hol lo, with .1 quill in it, with an orifice, found ny experiment to he of the proper size, iva used fur sowing in the drill. Ruta Baga we prepare thc ground for, ts wc do for beets, parsnips and carrots.. After plowing and making fine, a good coating ol' manure is applied, and the ?.round laid off in beds, 80 inches apart. The middles we fill up with fine well broken compost manure, and cover it by splitting the beds. These are raked oil* so as to leave the bed.rallier flat, with a surface of fine soft earth, which ?sallowed to dry well, unless the ground has mois ture enough within it to bring up the seed. Wc prefer perfectly dry soil to partially moist earth, as in the latter, the seed will barely sprout and die ; while in the dry earth it will wait until the next rain, and then is sure to come up. When up nice ly, bar off with a coulter, chop out, leav ing finally the plants 12 to 15 inches apart. In short, cultivate exactly like cotton. The result will be three, four, six, eight hundred or even, in extraordi nary cases, a thousand bushels to the acre, according to the season, and to.'how well you have done your duty. We sow Iluta Baga in July and August, and other turnips up to the 1st of October. . A word about varieties. We tn?"1 W year, and succeeded with some eighteen kinds, which we will tell of in next num ber ; but of all these, it is sufheient now to say, that Red Top Strap Leaf, Large mite Globe, Norfolk, (WhUe or Red,) Yellow Aberdeen,-Yellow Stone, Yellow Ruta Baya and White Ruta- Baya, (or Sweet German,) are all we shall try again of those 18 kinds. Of these, those in italics are, perhaps, for 'family use, as good as any. The first comes earlier than any other sort, and the last is the sweetest and best keeper for late spring use.-Southern Cultivator. ITKMS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS.-Do every thing at the proper time. Keep everything in its proper place. Always mend clothes before washing them. Alum or vinegar is good to set colors, red, green or yellow. If you ire buying carpet for durability choose small figures. A bit of glue dissolved in skim-milk and water will restore old crape. Scotch snuff put in the holes where crickets run will distroy them. Sal soda will bleach; one spoonful is enough for one? kettle of clothes. A hot shovel held over varnished fur niture will talco out uJYite spots. A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges of doors will prevent their creaking. Tireen should he the prevailing color for bod hangings and window drapery. Wood ashes and common salt, wet. with water, will stop the. cracks of a stove, and prevent smoke escaping. EARLY MitsiN-n.-Cows that graze should be milked early in the morning and turned out to feed upon the dewy grass. Two hours of such* feed is worth all the rest of tho. day as regards getting a good flow of milk. WEATHER SIOKS.-The color of the sky, at particular times, affords wonder ful good guidance. Not only does a rosy sunset presagogood weather, and a ruddy sunrise i>ad weather, hut there are other tin's which speak with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indicates wind ; a pale yellow, wet; a neutral grey color, constitutes a favorable sign in thc evening, and an un fa\orable one in the morning. The clouds arc again full of moaning in themselves, if their forms are soft, undefined, and full feathery, the weather will be fine; if the ed.*es ure hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind or rain ; while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak fair weather. These are simple maxims; and yet not so simple but that the British Board of Trade has thought fit to publish them for the use of seafar ing men.-Scientific American. To D ESTRO y FLIES.-To one pint of milk.add a quarter pound of raw sugan, and two ounces ground pepper ; simmer them together eight or ten minutes, and place it about in shallow dishes; The flies attack it greedily, and are soon suffo cated. By this method, kitchens, &c, may be kept clear o." flies all summer without the danger attending poison. Estate Notice. A LL persons having claims ngainst tho Estate CiL of Dr. J. F.

SOLOS ROBINSON TO THE FABITEK'S CU B, JAN. 23 : " No Farmer who owns a well or cistern can possibly afford to bo without an iron pump, lt should b i at once a Miction and forci? pump-a perfect little englio-such a one known as ' West's Improved Tump.' I speak of this pump, because I happen to know it to bo very sim ple, durable, powerful und cheap, and it dont 1 reeze up nor get out of order once a year. I know this and think I may be doing the farmers good by speaking cf iL A boy ten years old can work lt, and throw u cfnilinuoni inch-and-a-tjuarter stream. It can bc made to work in deep wells-os well as in shallow ones." . , GREAT NECK, L. :.. ?SG1. " I have used this Tump for one summer aid winter, exposed to the northwest wind, coining over Lodg Island Bound, being the coldest possiblo exposure, und afro time dill lt'freeze, nor were MC unable at any lime to pump waler with great ease. R.B. Mr IL VI AN.* ' "Thc u-??rsigr.ed hnvlng used West's Improved Purni*, cheerfully recommend them as simple, durable mid powerful in raising and throwing water, and for their ease of action, scciiriiy ugnlnst frost, and low price, we believe them superior to all others. - WARREN LELAND"Met. H?fel. N. Y. J. W. POMEROY; Yonkers, >'. Y. JOHN MESSBBAU, N. Y. DOMINICK LAWRENCE, Winchester.'' From the Kew York Obxerrer. " We have had ia use for months past one of West's pumps, wtdeh has given us more satisfaction as a forcr and fifting'pump than any we have over used. Il ls one of great powor, and well adapted for ship's decks, mines, factories, greenhouse?, graperies, etc 1 T-he Minina Chronicle avJ HaiUcayJourual says : It-is recommen ded for- it? extreme simplicity of construction, great strength and. consequent durability and cheapness of re pair. There Li no stuning box-Mlic pressure acing hel? by a cun-packing like upon thc working-pitn-n,' workjng iii a cvllnder. flited for thc purpn\a within bi? upper'au chamber-which we think a great movement, as stuffing is so liable to bu deranged -jul leak under strong pressure to say nothing of thaMtfl by friction incident ! hereto. lt hos also two air chambers- thus tho action of tho valve ls cushioned upon both sides by air-preventing water hammer and vacuum-thump. The valves are" very ac cessible, and simply and cheaply repuired. They work easier lhau any pump we have over seen : th2 4 inch cy limlcr-belog worke.. by children in wells o-ie hundred feet deep, and as they are extremely cheap, ns well as simple and strong, we freely recommend thuji." " CAMBRIDGE MINK, N. C.. Jim.} 23,1SC3. J. D. WEST Si Co.-C'nls: The Tump whii h I ordered for our mine is received, aud put to work in our underlay shaft, which weare sinking.

We toted irUhrce und a half hours all thc water lu thc shaft, which mea sures even twelve feel and thirty feet deep, and it was full when wo commenced. It answers our nxpeclations in every respect. -Il will do great service with but trifling expenso for repairs. Yours, respectfully. . . RUBI: I HG G INS."
