From the Mass. Ploughman. FARM WORK FOR SEPTEMBER. The heat of August has been uncommonly in intense, - tense, intense, and the want of rain has been seriously feluin most parts of the United States. While in England, Scotland, and Ireland the season has been cold and wet; it has also been more back backward - ward backward than usual, and fears are expressed that grain will not come to full maturity. Low grounds, if ever, must be worked when the springs are low; and this usually happens at this season. Ditching for next year is done bet better - ter better in September than at a later period ; for wc are more sure of low water, and we have more leisuie than in the latter harvest, the gathering of Indian corn, potatoes, and apples. This too, is the month to collect muck from pond holes and from peat meadows, to put into yards and hogpens, or to pile in heaps to rot, and to be mingled with decomposing matter. September is an excellent month for ploughing. Teams are strong and are cheaply fed. You have only to unyoke and your cattle take care ol them themselves. - selves. themselves. Sward lands, that are to be cross plough ploughed - ed ploughed next spring, should be turned in August or early in September, otherwiae the furrow will not be well rotted, and you will be pestered with sods. But lands that are to be turned only once before planting should lie till October, lest they become too grassy before May. Corn Stover. Stalks should be cut in Sep September - tember September in case you intend to harvest in the old mode. Some farmers begin to take the tops offby the first of September. But numerous trials have satisfied us that the earswill not till so well when the com is topped so early. We should prefer to let them stand, two weeks longer. The question whether it is better to take the tops off before harvest time is not yet fully settled. In the prin principal - cipal principal towns on the Connecticut river, the farmers let the whole stand together till the ears are filled so far as to harden considerably. They then cut it up at the root and put the whole in shocks or pikes where it stands for two or three weeks be before - fore before husking. The Stover is decidedly better when this mode is pursued, but we are not sure that the corn is better. It is sometimes saved from premature frosts, by shocking, but it seems not to ripen fas faster. - ter. faster. If grass is to be grown on the corn iand the field may be cleared earlier than under the old practice, as the whole growth may be removed to the sides of the field, and clear work may be made in sowing. Fields are sometimes cledrad in the first week in September, to be sown with grass seed. As to the saving of labor we are not quite certain Potato Digging. We advise none to dig in this month except for imihediate use. Potatoes are much better for lying in the hill till cool weather. They ripen after the vines begin to die. Y Vm ipe potatoes are. the most unwholsome food that we make use dr. We Kope sortie ingenious farmer will plan an implement that will save the hardest part ot the labor of potato digging, A plough may be so formed as to loosen the earth and expose the principal part of the crop without cutting a potato. Buckwheat should be harvested early in Sep September. - tember. September. Much is lost by waiting for all the late blossoms to mature ; if you wait for them you will be caught in a snow storm, and all the earliest pods will be shelled out in the field. Be in sea season - son season to secure the principal part of the earliest grain and let the late blossoms be counted as fod fodder. - der. fodder. You will find that much of the grain will fill after cutting and while the straw lies in heaps as pea pods will fill after the vines are pulled up' The straw is good for young stock when it is cut at the proper time. If you dig rocks for wall, or to clean your helds, pile them up well that they may be hauled off in February or March, after the snow has melted from the rocks, and before the ground is bare. ° Fatting Hogs. Close attention should now be paid to porkers. They are fond of variety, and they can have it at this season if you will. Ail hogs eat hog weeds, and these are plenty in most of our gardens. Purslane, or pusley as it is often called, is a rich treat to them in September. If you have no hogs pull it up for your milch cows Sweet apples too are good for both. Ripe apples of all kinds will increase the milk of cows provid provided - ed provided they are fed out with regularity ; though if you suffer cows to break into an orchard and eat a barrel each at a time you will find it otherwise Green corn may be cut and fed out to hogs to advantage. 'I he sweet or boiling corn is much the best for this purpose. Cut up stalk and corn to together, - gether, together, in bits but two inches long and thev will eat the cob with the corn. With all these you will need Indian meal if you would expedite the business of fatting, and vyu will soon have pump pumpkins - kins pumpkins and potatoes to boil to mix with meal white weather ' 8 <at,in g *>ogs in eold Promptness. A friend of ours called on his neighbor tor the loan of a hundred dollars. The shop-keeper hesitated, hardly knowing whether to say yes or no.

In the morning, when the lender opened bis shop, he was surprised to find his neighbor at the door waiting for him. "I have been here two hours," said he. "You stated that you wanted your money early in the morning, and I thought I would not disappoint you. Here it is." That is what we call promptness. If every one were assure to pay when he promised, there would be a better spirit of accommodation among us. - Portland Bulletin. The Truth will out.
