JUNE. 401 



SPRING TARES. 



It is exceedingly good husbandry to sow spring 

 tares in this month, and a quart of cole-seed over 

 the same land, in order to have a very wholesome 

 and nourishing food for weaned lambs in autumn. 

 This is a practice on the South Downs in Sussex, 

 from which great benefit is derived. The breadth 

 of land to be thus applied, will depend on the other 

 articles provided for the same application. The 

 land first soiled or fed of winter tares, may be 

 ploughed for this purpose, and thus two beneficial 

 crops gained in one year. 



BEES. 



This is the principal season for swarming; a care- 

 ful attention should therefore be paid to the hives, 

 that the swarms be not lost. 



HOGS. 



The principal stock of swine may now be feed- 

 ing in clover or chicory : but if due attention be 

 paid to the great object of raising manure, our 

 young farmer will supply them very amply in their 

 yards with these plants, or with lucern or tares ; 

 but plenty of litter should be given : they will pay 

 well for whatever attention is bestowed of this sort. 

 The most profitable litters of the whole year are 

 those of the sows which pig in June ; every one 

 should be carefully reared.
