One, use code tags and formatting. Way too much code to look at without code tags, formatting, line numbers:
[code=cplusplus] // paste code here
[/code]
Two, don't just paste a bunch of code up. What's the question? Does it compile? Does it run? Does it crash? What's the error? line number? Etcetera etcetera.

I think the problem is that your input method is then calling a constructor, which sets the month variable of a new, unallocated instance of Month. The instance m1 in main( ) does not get modified. You can see this if you step through the program, watching the value month as it goes through the mass of if statements. (You really should use if...else blocks)
Your two constructors
Month::Month(char char1, char char2, char char3)
Month (int monthNum)probably should be changed to mutator functions, which can be called by the appropriate constructors.

1. Always use tag CODE to post your snippets:
[code=cplusplus] your code
[/code]
2. Senseless member function does not assign any value to month:
void Month::Input(istream& in) {
char first,second,third;
int number_month;
char c;
c=in.peek();
if ( (c > '0') && (c <= '9')) {
in >> number_month;
Month(nuber_month);
// Create a new local Month object
} // Discard this object. No effect...
}Yet another null effect member function - Month constructor:
Month::Month(): month(month) // initialize month with garbage value
{} // the same as: Let month is equal to don't know what is it...Obvious correction needed (do it yourself).
What's an awful sight... Unnecessary switches cascade...

There is a question, buried deep in the code in a comment block.
Agree, it's a poor way to post. I was about to also ask what the problem was when I saw the query.
