Field & Garden Calendar.
NOVEMBER. Pield.—Hoe the ground well between the drills of potatoes and turnips, so as to loosen the soil, and destroy the weeds. In this country, for want of winter frosts, all the weeds and docks must be looked after in the summer. Earth up potatoes and maize. This is the month for hay-making: cut the grass before it is dry. All cart work, such as fetching stones and wood to the farm, can begin now, as also the erection of fences. Wash the sheep well, that the wool may be clean; and about the eighth day, when the yoke A has risen v you can begin shearing. There are purchasers of wool in every town. Garden.—Sow melons, pumpkins and cucumbers. Return to sow more turnips, peas, beans, cabbages, and all other summer food. Friends: be constant at your work, that you may prosperous. "Food raised by another man, will stick in your throat: But food of your own growing you may eat largely, and be satisfied."
