"O FORTUNATOS NIMIUM SUA SI BONA NORINT BALTIMORE, JANUARY, 1949. WORK FOR JANUARY. Ere we commence our brief notice of the labors of this month, we must obey the dictates of our heart and tender to our agricultural readers our most sincere wish that the advent of the New Year may find them in the enjoyment of good health, peaceful minds, and a prospective cheering them with the hope of prosperity and happiness. In yielding obedience to a time-honored custom of presenting the compliments of the season to the patrons of the American Farmer, on the recurrence of each New Year, we do so with the more pleasure as the heart prompts what is traced by our pen, as among the boliest of our regards stands forth the desire to see the agriculture of our country placed upon a basis so strong that none can defy its triumphs-to see its husbandmen animated by one common impulse in the effort to elevate their occupation to the proper standard of rural greatness. With the commencement of the year let your determination be formed, to use every means within your power to improve your arable lands-to save and preserve every thing that can be converted into manure-to never put in a crop without previouly giving to the ground the best possible preparation within your power-to pitch your crops at the right time, and to tend them faithfully throughout the course of their growth-to lime or marl a certain number of acres of your land each year; and, in a word, so to act, in the management of your estate, as that the quality of its soil shall be improved by each succeeding year. And now for the work ON THE FARM. Grain Fields.-Have the surface drains in your grain fields carefully examined and cleared out, as the health of winter grain is greatly promoted when kept dry. Winter Ploughing.--All stiff, intractable soils, intended for spring culture, should, if possible, be ploughed in the winter. Besides placing one ahead No. 7. in his work, the texture of the land is greatly melio rated by the action of the frost. Such lands, however, should never be ploughed when wet. Horses, Mules and Working Oxen.-As it is to the faithful toil of these noble animals that the farmer has to rely for the success of his operations, it is his cared for-that is, that they have good stables and interest, as well as duty, to see that they are well sheds, well littered beds, cleanly kept-that they be regularly fed thrice a day, at stated hours, with good wholesome food, and in sufficient quantity-that they be curried, or carded, and rubbed down morning an ounce of salt, or an ounce of equal portions of and evening-that they receive each, twice a week, salt, lime and ashes, well mixed together, and that they be watered three times a day. To ensure these thing beings done, the presence of the master is necessary. Cow and Cattle Yards. Did you take our advice last fall, and have these covered with woods mould, leaves, peat, marsh mud, the scrapings of roads, ditches, lanes, &c.? If you did not, it is not too late to do so now, as the winter has been so open as not to prevent your working; and you may rest assured that the day is coming when the punctilious discharge of these kinds of duties will be considered indispensable to one's standing in society, as he who proves recreant to the interests of himself and family, will meet with the disesteem of the other members of the community. Fencing. Be sure that you cut down and prepare as much fencing as will serve all your purposes throughout the year. Let the but-end of the posts be charred sufficiently high up, as that, when placed in the ground, three inches of the charred part will be above the earth. Posts thus treated, will last for half a century. It is useless to merely char the part buried up in the earth, as the mischief, by decay, occurs just above it. Breeding Mares.-These should receive all proper attention from now until grass time. Their food should be regulated with a moderately generous hand; it should be given them regularly at least three times a day; they should receive salt, or the mixture recommended above, twice a week; so, also, should they daily be curried, or carded, and brushed down, and watered thrice a day. Colts. See that your colts receive full allowances of hay or fodder thrice a day, and a feed of grain |
