He is not only busy planting the later crops, but is also engaged in harvesting and marketing the earlier ones, and is fighting the weeds among the crops that are beginning to grow; besides, he must not neglect to destroy the creeping things that, in great variety and in large numbers, come to destroy every useful plant, leaving, for reasons not understood by man, the weeds and all undesirable plants, as a rule, to grow untouched. Teach the boys the importance of rejecting for market all vegetables that are not of good quality, and also impress upon them the importance of having the inside of the package just as good as the outside. Neighbor Cheathim is very careful to put all the best peas on the top of the box, and the small stalks of asparagus in the centre of the bunch, and then wonders why he does not get as good customers and as high prices as his neighbor, who picks only good peas, and rejects all vegetables that are so poor that even the ungenerous man wants to hide them. If you expect your boys to be successful in any business, teach them to be generous as well as honest in all their business transactions. A good set of customers can never be secured by the miserly or ungenerous man. O Full Moon, 3d day, 4h. 12m., evening, E.

Tom, who is entering upon his college vacation, should run the mower, and Jerry and Harry, who are let loose from the grammar school, should run the horserake and the tedder. Let the hired man do the loading of the hay, mowing the spots which cannot be reached by the mowing machine. A force thus set to work will give the farmer leisure to plan his work not only at the proper time, but in the earliest and best manner. 6 W. 7 Th. 6th. High tides. 8 Fr. 9 Sa. 8th. Isham G. Harris, U.S. Sen. Tenn., 10 B 5th Sunday after Trinity. The garden and the late crops will require attention, else the weeds will take possession. The farmer should never forget that weeds should be destroyed when less than an inch high. These can be killed very easily by the numerous implements invented for the purpose, but if permitted to grow four or six inches high, no implement will do the work without injuring the crop. To do the work thoroughly it must be by hand labor, and the weeds must be carried from the field, or the first rain will set them to growing again, and the work must be done over. Early potatoes should be dug the last of the month and sent to market, if good prices are ex Showers. pected." Look after the water in the pastures, and keep the springs well 31 B 8th S. af.
