THE farmer’s MANUAt. 
JUNE AND JULY. 
Your strawberries, cherries, &c. now begin tor re- 
ward Jrour labours, and if you have rightly arranged 
your Fruitery, you may now enjoy a rich succession 
without intermission, until the frosts commence ; and 
with a little attention by preserving, you may enjoy 
it round the year. Go on to enjoy the fruit of your 
labours ; you alone have the best right. Let the hoe 
rank amongst the delights of the morning ; nature’s 
school is full of variety that never cloys, when right*, 
ly used, and richly repays for all our care and toil. 
Gather your currants and goosberries, and make up 
your wine. 
AUGUST. 
Propagate fruits generally by inoculation ; choose 
a cloudy or moist time, when the sap in your stocks 
is in full spring. Stone-fruit will heal over best 
when propagated by inoculation. The process of 
grafting and inoculating are both so simple and com- 
mon, that it must be unnecessary to describe them 
here; every farmer’s boy of 14 years of age may be 
capable of propagating fruit in this way, with ease and 
safety. Transplant such strawberries as have be- 
come foul with grass, and give them a rich fresh bed, 
as directed in November, (under Gardening.) 
SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. 
Continue to enjoy the fruits of your labour ; pears, 
pluiBS^ nectarines, apricots, cherries and peaches.
