for permanent pasture, or a hay crop next season will succeed on good soils, if sown Lefore the middle of the month. (4995.) 7. Fences (2767.), Roads (3280.), and Drains. (3909.)
Routine operations of mending, &c. as before.
8. Orchards (5770.) and Hop-grounds. (5393.) Gather fruits for immediate sale, the keeping sorts not being yet ripe. (3776.) Walnuts for pickling not later than the first week. (3789.)
Hop-picking and drying, in the districts where this plant is much cultivated, is the great business of the month. (5125.)
9. Wood Lands and Plantations. (3627.)
Routine operations as in the two or three preceding months. plant evergreens during the three last weeks, and deciduous trees the last ten days. (3655.)
1. Kalendar of Animated Nature round London. In the first week: the red-wing (turdus iliacus) arrives. Snakes and vipers bury themselves.
Second week hooded crows (corvus cornir) and wood- pigeons (columba palumbus) arrive; hen-chatlinches (fringilla crles) congregate, and prepare for migration, leaving their males in this country.
Third week: the snipe (scolopar gallinago) appears in the meadows. Wild-geese (ands sylvestris) leave the fens, and go to the rye-lands.
Fourth week: the tortoise (testudo græca) begins to bury him- self in the ground; and rooks visit their nest-trees. Some larks (alande) sing, and the woodcock (scolopax rusticola) re- turns. Spiders' webs abound.
2. Kalendar of Vegetable Nature round London. In the first weck: strawberry-tree (arbutus unedo), holly (fer aquifolium), China hollyhock (alcoa chinensis), and China aster (aster chinensis), in bloom.
Second weck catkins of some species of salix formed; leaves of the asp almost all off; of the Spanish chestnut, yellow; of the sugar-maple (acer saccharinum) scarlet; of the common birch, yellow and gold; and of the weeping-birch, gold and bright-red colored."
Third week; clematis calycina in flower. Some horse chest- nuts and acacias quite denuded of leaves.
Fourth week: various plants, especially annuals, continue in flower. Leaves of marsh-elder (sambucus elmlus, of a fine pink; of stag's-born sumach, of a purplish-red; of the American oaks, of tine shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple.
This is the season of rural plenty, affording an opportunity, both to men and animals, for laying in a large stock of health, to enable them to support the severity of the coming winter. Operatives should now buy in their winter stores of potatoes, fuel, &c. and ridge up their garden ground, not under crop, for the winter.
Corn crops being generally in the rick-yard by Michaelmas, and the root and herbage crops not taken being at or near ma turity, the first of October is the most suitable season for a farmer to take stock and ascertain his annual profit or loss. Michaelmas being also the most general term of entry and removal, especially in the case of arable farms, is another reason why agricultural accounts are conveniently made up to this period. (4509.) Examine your household accounts, and if your expenses have exceeded your income, or even come up to it, look over the particulars with your wife or housekeeper, and see on which you can retrench. This is an essential process for all who would proceed in life with any thing like peace of mind, or the permanent respect of their neighbors. (1515.) Remember that very small indeed is the net income of a rent- paying agriculturist.
The weather of this month is very uncertain. Before those rains, snows, or frosts which constitute the practi- cal commencement of winter, there is generally two or three weeks of settled weather; sometimes these weeks are in October, sometimes partly in November. These weeks afford a last resource for bringing forward neg- lected operations.
Hog porridge. A mixture of oatmeal and water, or any other meal and water, left till it becomes sour, as practised by the millers in the northern counties, will feed hogs rapidly; but milk and pease meal make the finest pork in the world.
The terms which have been soiled during summer, may now be put on hay, straw, and carrots, or other routs, by degrees. (6083.)
Where these are manured, this is a good season for the ope- ration (5208.); choose dry weather.
Potatoes (1825.), carrots (4926.), field beet (4962.), parsneps (4961.), and Swedish turnips, may now be taken up and housed, and the ground sown with wheat. This grain (1599.), rye (4650.), barley (4659.), in some situations, and tares (4793) may still be sown in the milder districts. Embrace every op- portunity to give the first furrow to fallows (1568.), whether for green crops or otherwise. In general all lands that are to have two or more furrows before they are sown or planted, should be ploughed as soon as possible after harvest; but not so lands that are to be sown on one furrow, which are better ploughed in January and February. It is a great mistake to suppose that ploughing land in autumn destroys the eggs or larvæ of insects (6916.), or the seeds of weeds; on the con- trary, it may often, by giving them a deeper covering, preserve them better from the winter's frost, or, what is much more de- structive, from being devoured by birds. There are few sub- jects less generally understood than the economy of nature in regard to the eggs of insects and worms. (Turn to 6863, and 6921.) See that water furrows and drains run freely, and that fences and gates are in repair.
7. Fences (2767.), Roads (3280.), and Drains. (3909.)
Hedges may now be advantageously planted (2785.), grown ones pruned (2790.), old ones plashed (2796.), and imperfect ones repaired. (2800.) The Northumberland practice as to hedges (7024.) well deserves the study of the more souther agriculturist. Roads and drains may be made or repaired at this season, and in spring, with better effect than during the heat and drought of summer. Road materials now bind better, and land-springs show themselves more distinctly.
8. Orchards (3770.) and Hop-grounds. (5593.)
The winter fruits may now be gathered, and either spread in an airy loft or upper floor, there to remain till used, or sweated in heaps, to extract a part of their moisture, and then buried in dry sand, or packed in close boxes or casks, to be kept in a cool and dry cellar. (1797. and Encye, of Gardening, 2289.)
Fruit trees of every kind may now be planted (3795.) and pruned. (3798.)
Hop-picking is generally completed the first week of the month; and as soon afterwards as convenient, the vine and removed, and the latter stacked till next spring. (5432.) Posts be formed (5398.),
Michaelmas is also the general term for hiring farm servants by the year; but the seldomer agricultural operatives are changed the better, unless in the case of senseless, indolent, or viciously inclined persons, who degenerate unless frequently removed.
among established grounds manured and ploughed. (5411.)
9. Wood Lands and Plantations. (3627.)
Hedges and plantations of evergreen trees may be made during the first week of the month; and no period of the year is better for transplanting all kinds of hardy shrubs.
Timber and coppice may be felled, and in general every ope- ration preparatory to planting, as well as the operation itself, may go forward.
This is the windy month of the Saxons; it is generally also cold and moist, and one of the most disagreeable for the laboring agriculturist; but he may console himself with the shortness of the day, and hail the approach of evening, when he may lay aside his wet dress and fortify his mind by converse with books, or enjoy the comforts of his tire-side, and the solice of his wife and children; reading to or otherwise instructing them, or mending his boots or shoes.
5. Grass Lands. (5086.)
Manure in dry weather (5208.); turn the water on meadows adapted for irrigation (4058.); destroy anthill (5201); dras by surface gutters, or other means, where that operation à requisite; clear out water furrows for the same purpose: admut cattle and horses only on the driest pastures; see that sheep have shelter, and especially Dorset ewes likely to limb nest month.
6. Arable Land. (4548.)
See that water furrows and drains run unobstructed; plongh and cart out manure, as weather and other circumstances permit.
7. Fences (2767.), Roads (3280), and Drains. (3909.)
As in last month; and see that they are in effectual repair, and fairly used.
8. Orchards (3770.) and Hop-grounds. (5098.) Complete the operations of last month, where interrupted, deferred, or neglected.
9. Wood Lands and Plantations. (S627.)
As in last month, excepting when the weather is unfavorable. Felling all kinds of timber and coppice not adapted for barking for the tanner, may now go on freely. (3740) Willaw fir baskets may be cut over (3738.), and baskets, hampers, cratki, and hurdles, made by the woodman and hedger.
1. Kalendar of Animated Nature round London. The mole (talpa europaa) throws up hillocks. The Decem- ber moth (eringuster populi, Sam.) appears about the begin- ning, and the yellow-line quaker (noctua flavilinea, Sam.), about the end of the month.
2. Kalendar of Vegetable Nature round London. Some of the last month's plants continue in flower, accord- ing to the weather.
3. 4. Farm Yard (2740.), and Live Stock.(5546.)
Threshing, and otherwise preparing corn and straw for the market, and the use of the working, fattening, wintering, and store stock are the main operations. Next, the regular supply of live stock with food, and cleaning and littering them. Fat- ting stock should be particularly attended to, especially house lamb (6486.) and calves (6167.)
The supply of turnips for cattle and sheep is liable to be in- terrupted by severe frosts, if the precaution of housing a quan- tity (4904.), or setting them (4905.), is not taken in time. Where oil cake, rape cake, or dust, (5472.) brewers or distillers' grains (4686.) are used, supplies must be secured; and where hogs or cattle are fed on meal and water mixed and soured, a quantity must always be kept in mixture; as a week or ten days in temperate weather, and a longer period during frost, is re- quisite to induce the fermentation.
See that they are not poached: that water furrows, gutters, drains, and ditches are in repair; and where manuring is prac-
Cold but dry. The agricultural opes- ations are chietly of the laborious kind; but the days short and the nights long/ In the last week the yoNE operator should examine fümself as to his profissional and intellectual progress during the bre-past year, and form plans for further improving himself for the year to come. Knowledge is a lever by which a man may raise himsel as high as he desires.
tised, cart it out in frosty weather where there is no danger of injury from the feet of horses or cart wheels. Unless ot very cheap, carting earths or earthy composts on gras and will not pay the expenses; they produce more effect on arable lands.
6. Arable Lands. (4548.)
See that all the modes of drainage are effective. (8) Plough and cart out manure according to weather and other circumstances.
7. Fences (2767.), Roads (3280.), and Drains (0)
Plant hedges (2784.) and build walls only in temperat weather, as frosty air injures the roots of plants, and fres humid mortar, thereby effectually preventing its set Roads and drains may be made and mended in all weathe that admit these operations.
8. Orchards (3770) and Hop grounds. (5393.) Clear old trees of moss or misletoe; but prune only in mild weather. Dig and dung at any time.
9. Wood Lands and Plantations. (3627)
Fell timber or copse of sorts not adapted for harking, (740) Stock or grub up tree roots, stacking them for feet or char (3762) Trench, dig, or otherwise prepare ground for part ing; but lift plants from the nursery, and re-insert them plantations only in mild weather, and when the soul don t poach by treading, &c.
