THE FARM AND GAR! Work for May. From the American Agriculturist. May isavery busy month onthe farm, and every hour of labor should be so planned as to tell most effectually. There is danger of haste, and of doing the work In an imperfect manner. The great error of leaving undone the things that should now be done, arises from want of a plan | of operations. “As we sow, go shall we reap.” and this isthe month of sowing and planting. Do everything in a thorough manner, and keep abreast with the demands of the season. Push | the work, and do not let the work push the farmer.

Scald a heaping tablespoonfal of powdered White Hellebore with a littie hot water, and when thoroughly mixed, turn it into a pailful ot cold water. Apply with a syringe or garden pump. In three of four days repeat the dose. Usually two applications are enough, but If more worms are found, follow up this treatment; it will surely dispose of them. Blackberries and Raspberries.—It_ should be borne in mind that the crop of frult for next year will be upon the canes which grow this season. Therefore those needed for the pur- pose should be selected, and all others cut off, unless they will be wanted for planting else- where. Grape Vines.—The novice should bear in mind that the whole new growth of the vine and the fruit, comes from the buds that were upon the canes at the fall of the leaf. In vine- yard culture we want the fruit, and all parts of the vine, within reach. Hen renew the growth each year fro cane, usually cutting away all of the cane above the lowest two bnds. If we wish to train a vine upon an arbor, at the top of a fence, or high up on a building, we can easily do it by al- lowing some of the uppermost buds to grow and suppressing the lower ones. The vine is so easily managed, that whoever hasa few feet of soil for the roots can have an abundance of grapes. Grapevine Tiseets are numerous. As soon as the young shoots start, a small caterpillar will Potatoes should have early attention to save them trom the beetle, and the more thoroughly the first brood of insecta are poisoned, the smaller the next. Radishes.—Sow frequently for succession. Rhubarb.—Never cut the leaves, but separate them with 1 sidewise pull. Cut the flower stalks when they first appear, and continue to do so. Salsify w ay be much increased in size by thin- ning to six inches ; give frequent hoeings. Spinach.—As soon as the early sowing Is large enough, thin the plants to three inches apart and use the thinnings ; a little later every other plant may be cut for use, allowing the last to become quite large. Sow every two weeks. As soon as the soil is well warmed sow New Zea- land spinach for use in the hot months. Squashes.—If seeds of bush sorts were started under ginss, plant out, and sow seeds in hills or rows, thinning to 18 inches apart. Use plenty of manure. Superphosphate helps them. Win- ter squashes—Boston Marrow, Hubbard Marble- head and Butman are among’ the best—should be sown when the ground is well warmed. Ma- nure the whole plot, and give the hills or rows a little good fertilizer. Make hills elght feet apart each way, or lay out rows 12 feet apart and put in a dozen seeas at every four feet. As soon as the plants appear dust with ashes and plaster; hand-pick squash bugs, and it the 12- spotted squash beetle appears, give it poison. A single strong plant, or at most two ina place, will be enough in a hill. Sweet Potatoes.—If plants or “draws” are to be Taised, cut the large potatoes lengthwise, and place them on the soil of a hot-bed (cut surface and should be removed. in flower, the rose-buzs Wil attack the blos- soms. This insect can be kept in subjection only by catching and killing it. In early morn- Ing they are torpld and may be shaken from the vines. Cateii them in a pan holding a little water npon which there floats a film of kero- sene. Training the Vine.—In vineyard training the shoots are kept tied to the trellis. It is cust. mary to pinch off the shoot at two or three aves above the upper cluster. New shoots from canes that have been iayered should be Kept tied up to stakes. Young vines. making their frst growth, should produce but a single ; Iothers start, remove them, and tie up the strongest to a stake. KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN. Corn-planting Time, which is readily ascer- tained for each locality, ts the earliest period at plants that are natives AS soon as the vine is Tomatoes.—Set out when frosty nights are no longer feared. It is wellto have a reserve stock of plants to guard against accidents. Where there are few sets they may be protected as de- scribed elsewhere. In garden culture support the vines by some kind of trellis, which should be put in place when the plants are set out. Those who require but a few plants, usually pre- | fer to buy, rather than to be at the trouble of raising them. Itis better to procure potted plants, even if the price is much higher than that for the crowded, drawn-up things usually sold. Turnips.—Sow the Ruta-vaga sorts the last of the month or the first of next. For table use, the White French, though not the largest, is the finest flavored. Rich soil, clean culture and thorough thinning are needed. Watermelons do best on alight warm soil, well manured. Lay out furrows elght feet apart, place well-rotted manure in them and cover it with soil to form a bed a few inches above the general surface. Sow an abundance of seed in this bed, as only a small proportion usually germinates. When well up, thin to 18 to 24 In- ches, and protect from insects as mentioned under cucumbers. Odds and Ends.—Suecess in gardening depends largely upon little things. As soon as seeds are seen breaking the soil, a sharp hoe run near the row will help them....A rake with long, sharp, steel teeth, run over the surface frequently, will destroy thousands of young seedling woods. ...

Gladioluses are at least half-hardy. Some may be planted early and others‘at intervals of two weeks until July, and thus give a succes- ston. Tuberoses, in the absence of a green-house, may be planted in pots or a box of earth ina sunny window, to start them.

If a tree is to be re- moved but a short distance, the roots should be protected by moss, mats, rugs, or some other material. . Ohrysanthemums.—Do not forget to provide a stock of these, to brighten up the garden when all other flowers have gone. Sticks and Strings contribute much to the neat appearance of the garden. Stakes should be hidden by the foliage of the plants tied to them. Dahlias need supports at the branches as well pas the stems. Spring Bulbs.—As the flowers fade, cut them away. If the beds are needed for other plants, take up the bulbs and set them out elsewhere, and let them remain until the fading of the leaf shows that they have ripened. GREEN-HOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS. It is customary to set nearly all the plants in the open air, but many are much injured by this practise, especially by the hot sun falling upon the ee and scalding the roots. The pots should either be plunged in the soil, or a shade of some kind provided The plants should be laced where they cannot be blown over or in- jured by domestic antmals.— Watering will usually be needed, and shade from the sun in the hottest part of the day.—Put downa layer of coal ashes for the pots to stand upon to keep out worms.—Look out that destructive in- sects do not damage the plants.—The sum- mer blooming cactuses, fachsias, eto., should be used to decorate the veranda.— Hanging bas- kets are best watered by plunging them in a bucket of water and allowing the earth to get thoroughly soaked.
