Former's and Grazier's Kalendar,— Harvest being finished, this month may be
considered the first in the agricultural year, as on the carrying of one crop preparations
for the next should be begun. Tbe plough should now be set in motion. Commence
■\vhea.t sowing in later situations, and defer only such fields as are very dry, and situ-
ated in an early climate. Use the pre\-entatives for smut immediately befoie scattering
the seed, and never sow unless there he moisture in the soil to effect germination.
Gather potatoes, and carefully secure them from frosr. Unless there is abundance
of grass, slieep should get turnip on the pastures. In the beginning of the month
remove fatting cattle to the courts, and shelter miich cows during nighu Keep
weakly calves warm, and allow them nourishing food.
_ Gardener's Kalendar — Sow radish, lettuce, and carrot seeds; also early pease and beans
in a warm exposure. Plant horse-radishes, lettuces, early cabbages, and other greens
neglected last month, in sheltered situations ; also cauliflowers, mint, and tarragon
in frames, for winter use. Earth up savoys and cabbages as high as the lea\-es. Take
up carrots and parsnips, cut otf their tops, and bury them in dry sand. Crop the
tops of parsley, to make fresh leaves for winter. Plant all deciduous trees and shrubs.
Commence pruning, taking the vertical branches in fruit-trees, and cutting obliquely to
prevent rain from lodging ; also roses, honeysuckle, and other fio^vering shrubs. Pro-
tect dahlias, young carnations, and layers, from sudden frost ; and, about the end of
the month, begin to plant hyacinths, tulips, ranunculuses, and anemones. In favour-
able weather, transplant hardy fibrous-rooted plants, intermixing them in the borders,
to keep up a succession in the fioweriiig season.
