TO \. b Dear SIR THIS is the dead time
OF the year The leaves have fallen, the Wild
geese have been observed flying over US we have
scarcely a solitary bird remaining and are cheered
only by the occasional flight Of hocks Of snow birds
that are regarded as prognosticatlng snow storms,
Of which we have not received enough TO make
sleighing toerable Yet while the time is still IN
favorable for going far from home much IS doing
there 10 IS the killing time, as the plous Scotch
Presbyterians were accustomed 10 say Ia the per
secutOns by Prelacy under Charles IL Now the
swinlsh multitude atone by their deaths the crime
OF their idle life The abundance OF Autumn has
done much to hasten the enjoyment Of Winter
There was a great plenty OF beech nuts alter the
cleaning of the wheat-ieds, 10 all which the pigs
were admitted as free commOncrs; and many VI
them were easily iattened OH alter beng admitted
70 the full provision OF the corn-crlb An excellent
plan with many has been to boil up the refuse Of
the wheat and all seeds OF weeds found in it, either
after passing through the mill or without that opera
ton along with the superabundant apple crop.

thrown out 20 the highway % be picked up by
fowls OF pigs aud carried back upon the farm while
year after year the pigeon.wced or red'root Is
spreading to such degree as to render some farms
nearly worthless for wheat and TO occasion on
others many DAYS OF careful labor IN Toe Spring by
wedding il out. But this plan OF grinding or
boiling the seeds both, must destroy all that is
separated from the straw and what remains IN the
straw must also be destroyed where II IS udciousiy

up in heaps Ia tie Spring TO rot month or 50 be

Ia the new born zeal Tor Temperance, some cut
down orchards. But now II is found that good use
can be made OF the fruit There is very little cider
made TO drink in our neighborhood now. The taste
Tor it is fast Disappearing and there IS great hope
of many in the rising generation who carry their
abstinence SO tar as 10 drink neither TEA nor cor
