There's Wort" Enough to Do. The blackbird early leave? his nest To tneet the smiling morn, * And gather fragments for its nest From upland, wood and lawn ; The busy bee that wings its way 'Mid sweets of varied hue, At ev'ry flower would seem to say " There's work enough to do." Thc cowslip and the spreading vine, The daisy in tho grass, The snowdrop and tho eglantine, Preach sermons as we pass. The ant, within ita cavern deep, Would bit! us labor too, And writes upon its tiny heap There's work enough to do.'' To havo a heart for those who weop, The sottish drunkard win ; To rescue all tho children, deep In ignorance and sin : Tc help thc poor, the hungry feed, To give him coat and shoe, To see that all can write and read, " Is work enough to do." The tim? is short-tho world is wide, And much has to be dono ; The wondrous earth, and all its pride, Will vanish with the sun ! The moments fly on lightning wings, And life's uncertain too; We've none to wasto on foolish things, " There's work enough to do." The planets, st their maker's will, Move onward in their cars,' Fur Nature's wheel is never still, Progressive as tho stars ! Tho leaves that flutter in tho air, And summer'* breezes woo. One solemn truth to man declare " There's work cuaugh to do." Who then can sleep when nil around Is active, fresh and free? Shall Mau-crca'i-jn's lord-be fouud Loss bary than th's bee ? Our courts and allays arc the fisk', If men would starch them through, That best tho sweets of labor yield, And " work enough to do."' From Ott Farm and Garden. How io Cultivate Clover. MARTIN'S DEPOT, S. C., July 5th, 'G7. In accordance with your request, I give my experience in raising clover, which I do the more cheerfully, as I be lieve I have thc secret of success, though J make no claim to its discovery, for I owe the sugj. ;siion to a friend who lost his life in Tennessee, nobly battling for Southern rights. ? have wasted much labor and seed in trying the Northern and Western system of sowing clover with some other crop, and only succeeded in one instance in getting a stand in thct way, and that was on a rich lot with a thin stand of barley, which I killed out the next Spring by pasturing too early, and too closely. Tlft secret is to culti vate the lancf well the preceding year, say in cotton, corn or potatoes, so as to leave no seed of crab grass : (weeds do not hurt so much.) Prepare the ground well, by plowing ano harrowing smoothly, and if not rich, by manuring. This should be done about the middle of March, and immediately sow eight or nine pounds of seed to the acre. I usually sow by stakes, thus saving the trouble of laying off sowing a land of nine feet. ? new be ginner had better always try a small piece of land, measuring both land and seed, as he may waste a great deal o? s?ed if he goes to guessing. 1 sow very regularly, by keeping the two last fingers clenched, allowing the thumb and two fingers to do the work. I first throw out with the first finger, ami then with the other, making two licks for each handfull. By taking thc ordinary wheat-sowing gait, this plan will sow about the right quantity of seed. After sowing, I would somewhat prefer to run a good iron-tooth ed harrrow over it, bu!, if not convenient, it will do well without covering, as thc first shower will cover it sufficiently. The only advantage th.it I have ever seen in covering was in getting an early stand, but if a good shower falls soon after . planting you will not discover the differ ence, though it will show if it is dry. Now close up your clover field, and Jet nothing into it until the clover is a year old. About the middle of May, when the first blossoms begin to turn brown, the clover is ready to cut. If you want to graze it, let it get in bloom first, then you can't well kill it, but if you attack it too early, and graze too closely, you are liable to lose your stand. If the summer should be very hot and dry. you may fonr thac your clover is gone, but if you have'half a stand in the fall, there is no cause for fear and do not be discouraged, for in the spring you will be rewarded for all your trouble. We used our first crop this year, in feeding in the green state to mules and cows cutting it with a mowing blade. We are now cutting the second crop for hay, but this crop will not do for horses, though good for cows and sheep. If this plan is pursued, I feel confident that clover may be made to grow on any land that has fertility enough to produce a good crop of cotton, though the richer the better. In some seasons it will d" well if sown in the fall, but thc winter must be very favorable, though it is about as easily killed out as oats. In a very favorable season, and on very rich, moist, land, an indifferent stand may be had by sowing with some one of the different grain crops, but nine times out of ten such an experiment in our climate and soil, will result in disappointment and discouragement. I regard a half stand of clover as worth more than any other cropland nothing in the way of a crop can add mote to our comfort, and clover can be raised with nearly, if not quite as much certainty as oats can be. When a stand is once secured, it will last if properly 'nanaged, some four years, and then by turning in the fall and culti vating in corn or cotton, followed by wheat, a good stand will again come. A little plaster or stable manure or both .will always add to the crop. I prefer mowing to pasturing, as thus you cut away all weeds that stock usually leave, thereby helping the clover to take entire possession of the land. I do hope that every niaji in the State will try at least a small patch, v.-hen ho can see fi:r himself Tts value, and h* may add to his crop to his liking. The seed is worth from eight to twelve dollara per bushel, weighing .sixty pounds, and a bushel will sow well eight acres. All animals, including hogs do well on the first crop, but thc second crop should not be given to horses, either dry or green. This has been a very fa vorable year for clover this far, and we have had two cutting.?, from two to three fcc? each ere p. I havo tried clover in land that had never been cultivated, but never very successfully. Red, stiff land, 1 is most favorable to its growth, but it will do well on any of our land that is rich ' paougbj unless very sand jr. J ? I think I have covered the whole ground, and I have tried to be plain. If anything has been overlooked, I will fill up the omission when my attention is called to it. With my best wishes for the success of your paper, 1 am Your obedient servant, JAMES W. WATTS. From tho Southern Cultivator. The Kitchen Garden. In this month, August, the " latter rains" usually set in, when plants make a second growth. The observant gardener, taking advantage of this, can renew his vegeta bles. The old plants, having exhausted themselves, must be taken up and their places supplied with new ones. In this beautiful Southern land of ours, nature will do much, and if we will take advan tage of the climate and seasons, we may have vegetables fresh, six months in the year Prepare the soil well for the win ter cabbage; set thom out at I he first rain, placing thc plants as deep in the ground as possible, so as not to cover up the bud. Collard plants put out in this way, in very rich ground, will make large fine cabbage heads-when planted in poor soils, and near tho surface, will make collards. Beans and onions may also be renewed. Most of the vegetables that come rapidly to maturity may be renew ed. By all means renew thc tomato plants. "The best gardeners in France are in the habit of cutting oil* thc stem of the tomato plants down to the first cluster of Howers that appear thereupon. This impels the sap into the two buds next below the cluster, which soon push strongly and produce another cluster of flowers each. When these are visible, the branch to which they belong is also topped down to their level ; and this is doue five times successively. By this means, thc plants become stout dwarf bushes, not over eighteen inches high. In order to prevent them from falling over, sticks or strings are stretched horizontally along tho rows, so as to keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all the laterals that have no Hov c>rs, and after thc filth tupping, all the laterals whatsoever arc nipped off. lu this way the ripe sap is directed into the fruit, which acquires a beauty, size and excellence unattainable by other means. It will be well for our friends to try this simple and rational method the present season." Commence to hill up Celery, and add more earth as .it stretches up. Plant largely of Turnips . for the table-Ruta Bagas for cattle. Now is the time to attend to the Strawberry bed, if you wish a crop next season. Keep down the weeds, and prevent their seed ing. Destroy noxious insects. Keep your beds clean, open and mellow, if you desire to increase your plants, and en courage the growth of runners by an oc casional watering. If you do not want new beds, cut off the runners ; a light dressing of leached ashes is a useful ap plication. We prefer a compost of woods earth, mixed with leached ashes. Nitrate of Soda is the special manure for this plant, used in the spring, in a liquid state. The Spring crop of Onions and Irish Potatoes must now be housed. Dry them in the shade-one hour's sun will cause decay. Radish and other seed must now be saved. Choose the best and sun care fully-don't depend on the merchant for seed next year. Medicinal plants are now in perfection, and must be gathered and _dried in the shade. Fruit may be put up in cans, for winter use. Spear's Solution has proved a success here. It is harmless-(solution of Sulphate of Soda, &c, we think.) Figs should be dried and preserved for the Northern market. No article is more called for in New York, at thc confec tioners, than preserved Figs. A good article, well put up, would prove remu nerative. The Currant. Of all the small fruits that grow in the temperate latitudes, the currant is the most reliable and costs the least labor, and for this very reason it seems to be the least appreciated. The va rious forms in which tho currant may be used, its agreeable flavor and healthful qualities, entitle it to higher consideration that it generally receives, and should in duce its more universal cultivation, in the first place, being adapted to use when green, it is one of the earliest fruits availa ble. By the time it is half grown, if stewed in a swimming supply of water and sweetened to the taste, its mild, fresh tart, forms a refreshing relish upon tlje breakfast or tea table, and is to the taste, what the first notes of the early spring birds are to the ear-a prophecy of good things to come. Strawberries are deli cious, and red English raspberries are luscious, and the full ripe currants, served up raw, with sugar well moistened with water, steppin*' in just when these step out, are scarcely less grateful to tha palate; and with a little care in leaving the later bunches, the luxury may be continued from four to six weeks. And except in cases of organic disease of thc stomach and bowels-when the seeds must be avoided-they are a most healthful fruit, the acid having the effect to counteract bilious and malarious tendencies, and the expressed juice, properly prepared, makes a harmless and refreshing beverage in most cases of sickness. There is said to be great difference in different kinds of currants, in respect to yield and qualify. Undoubtedly there is some difference in varieties. The white and black currant do not seem" to yield as well as the red, and some reds seem, at least, to produce better than others. But much of this difference in the red currant, we apprehend, is owing to culti vation. Ground cannot bc too rich for the iruit, nor kept too clean. The mode of propagating is well understood by most people. A hill of old currant bushes taken up, may be divided into a half dozen settings, which will prudtice fruit a year or two earlier than cuttings. But when these cannot be obtained, cuttings of last year's sprouts-which from old hills should be mostly removed-cut any time before the buds start, and set early in good mellow, rich ground, will take root. The lower end of thc cutting should be cut square with a sharp knife. Thc top should be cut back to a good stray bud." Dig and set thc shoot-not force it into the ground. The latter process is liable to tear the bark from the end and prevent its taking root.-Wisconsin Fanner. PICKLING SEED WHEAT.-A corres pondent in the Canada Farmer, writing on the subject of \sjueat growing, offers the following-:-"An important opera tion in thc process of wheat sowing is too often neglected-I allude to the pick ling of seed. First, it points out to us the bad grains, which may thus be re moved, reducing the percentage of lost seed ; and secondly, it strikes at the root of smut and other fungi ; fur it is these very imperfectly formed grains that arc chiefly attacked by such parasites* Now smut is found in the imperfect grains, and in such small quantities (as botanists ! \ tell us,) that it ls absorbed in the root of I < he'young plant, bursting out a sho ,ime after the earing, throws upon it fu ri, in the dark rusty form with which w ire but too familiar. If we simp] ?teep our wheat in water, the light grair ?v-hich, though too heavy to be blown 01 by the .fanning mill, are imperfeot, wi rise to the surface and may be remove? [f to this water we add lime, we sha kill all traces of smut, &c, &c, whic may have clung to the otherwise soun seed by contagion with the infected grain But let us remember, above all, that tl most certain prescription for the securir of good crops, is a change of seed ;-g< your seed from a difFerent variety i soil." _ ^ _ Farm Work for August. The wet season has prevented the con plete destruction of grass in the cottc fields in many places. This must be dor with sweeps or hoes, cultivating as sha low as possible, so as not to injure tl roots of thc plants. , Make preparatk for gathering the cotton as it ripens. Ha die it neatly, keeping it free from staii and trash. Sort it well, as it is put : the gin-house. A few stained locks wi injure the sale of a bag of fine cotto causing it to be classed as mixed, when is really a good article. As the dews a: now heavy, that gathered in the raornir will be damp. This should be dried b fore putting in bulk, or it may rnoul giving the fiber a blue tinge. Fodder may be pulled this mont when the corn is sufficiently ripe; b this is a doubtful expedient, where goc hay can bc saved, as the injury to tl grain is greater than the value of the fo der. Save hay from crab and other la grasses. Exterminate weeds now grcr iug to seed. The cuckle-burr-that pe on the farm-must be "'looked after ar destroyed, or there will bc a bountif crop next season. Bc careful to sun the new wheat wei so as to destroy tho black weevil. Whi it is hot from the sun, put it in barrel and place it in a cool cellar. This wi prevent the hatching of any eggs thi may have escaped the heat. Examine the oxen and cows dailj Destroy . the ticks, which annoy thei greai?y, by washing the parts most coi ered by them, with a strong decoction < China root. It is said they will not tak hold again for some days. Nov/ is the time to cut timber for when cut now. before the- sap is cor verted into starch and deposited, it wi not be attacked by worms. So says th Southern Cultivator for August. -c ? Preventive Against the Turnip Flj We quote from the North British Ag riculturist the following recommendation respecting the methods of preventing o mitigating the risk of damage by th Turnip Fly : " Various methods have been suggesle to prevent the attacks of the turnip fi when the plants ace newly brairdec Steeping the seul in oil, and afterward dusting the seed with sulphur preparator to sowing, has been four i to be of cor siderable service. There is, howevc still more certain method of preventing Newly-slacked lime, strewn thinly alon the rut made by the seed-coulter of th sowing machine at the time of the braire ing the plants, proves a protection. W have also found a mixture of lime an soot very effectual in protecting the youn plants as they put out the first leave: When a small quantity of white turni seed is sown in the hollows of the drill: the insects resort to the white turni plants, preferring them to the Swedt This method of protecting the latter i more expensive than top dressing th seed rows with lime previous to th brairding of the plants. After the roug leaves arc formed, little damage is cause by the turnip fly, but other insects fee on the leaves, the black beetle being th most common. The most effectual mean to combat all insects is to push forwar the growth of the plants by manures ar p,;ed at the time the seed is sown, an after the plants come jp to stir the sui face frequently, but without injury to th turnip plants." SELECTING SEED CORN.-An Iflinoi correspondent of the Independent writes Last spring and early summer there M'a some discussion about selecting seed corr Some advised shelling the tips off an reserving thc middle of the ear for plain ing. Une man said one grain on th same cob is as good as another. Had h been a raiser of corn he would hav known better. Some ten years ago planted an ear of corn to test the differ ence between the produce of thc kernel of both ends and thc middle of thc sam car, and will give you the result. Th soil was just alike, the cultivation th same, and the crop very different, planted the first two rows from the largi end of the ear, the next two rows fron the middle, and the last two rows fron thc tip or small end ; and planted all th? same morning. The large ?nd producec fair-sized ears, with irregular rows, mud a3 you will find them at that end of th< ear. The middle kernels produced larg* ears, mostly straight-rowed and fair. Th< tips brought forth nubbins only ; then was not a fair ear on the two rows o corn. This is an experimental factwhicl you may use as you please. I havt raised corn more or less for forty years and now plant only about half, oratmosi two-thirds, of tho kernels on each ear o: corn; and I generally raise good crops. ? ? ? GAHDENINO FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. Mark off a plot of rich land for thc boys, where tl.ey may raise all kinds of vege tables and a little Spring grain; and des ignate another plot as a flower garden for the girls, and manure the soil bountifully, and let it be plowed or spaded deep. Then encourage children to mark off the ground in drills, and make small beds here and there for raising only a few speci mens of every vegetable that is usually produced in kitchen gardens. Provide a bountiful supply of flower seeds for the girls, and encourage them to plant, culti vate and love flowers. Sec also that they have suitable tools to work with, and do not turn them away with an old hoe, or a miserable spade that a skillful gardener would reject with scorn. The heavy labor of preparing the soil should be performed by a strong man, as the strength of chil dren soon fails wi.en engaged in such fatiguing labor as spading the garden, es pecially if the soil be heavy, if required to do the spading themselves, they often become disheartened in the gardening operations; and for the want of a little assistance, they abandon thc enterprise and engage in something else. By means of a few dimes' worth of seed, and a few hours, work, and a few encouraging words, small children may be taught lessons in agriculture, horticulture and floriculture that will be of untold value to them when they grow up.-N. Y. Times.. -? -?- ?-' CLOVER is to farming what faith is to religion. One may go through the whole list of manures and good works, but mast j come to clover and faith at last, j CLAYING SANDY SOILS.-A correspon dent in the Hammonton Culturist, offers the following on this subject : " It is, per haps, not generally known, that one of the very best methods of renovating or improving these light soils is to clay them. While all clays cannot be applied with safety, there are some which the farmer may use without fear. Where the clay is calcareous, the effects of an application are- fully equal to marling, and if the clay contains alumina, it gives firmness and retentiveness to sandy soils. Clays which are pliable, of solid consis tency, and have an unctuous or greasy feel, invariably produce excellent results. Fifty cart loads of such clay to an acre of light soil will give to it a firmness that is really wonderful, and will fit it for crops, which in its natural condition could not be grown upon it. I would as soon have a good calcareous or aluminous clay bed on a farm of light soil, as a bed of marl. Allow mc to remark, that tho applica tion should be made in Fall or Winter, the time when our farmers have most leisure. The frost acting upon tho clay will pulverize and incorporate it with the soil. A word of caution-never apply clay that abounds in iron. It will do more harm than good." W. H. GOODWCH. C. G.
