THE FARM. 
TS.—The rains at the beginning of the month 
have had a good effect upon the root crops, which, 
however, under the best of succeeding circumstances, 
will now only be a second-rate and patchy crop. 
Those who got a plant of Mangel Wurzel, and 
persevered in getting them clean in the dry weather 
of June, will now be well repaid in seeing them grow 
under the influence of rain, as when free from weeds 
the moment the solvent power of the soft water 
began to act upon manures, and especially artificial 
ones, the crop plant was ready established to take 
could digest, and the result has been a marvellously 
quick growth. 
A plant of Swedes at this time is et a great 
rarity, for not only did the drought act upon the 
young plants much as though the seed had fallen in 
stony places, but the little flea-beetle is always most 
active in dry weather, so that Swedes have had but a 
poor chance. -In this strait we have sown twice over, 
but the present dry weather is again encouraging the
