WORK FOR THE MONTH.
OCTOBER.

mers have not yet seeded their wheat. we
Hout conjure them to get it in as early
as possible, the nearer the frSt the better,
and by all means not To delay it beyond
the middle of the month.
With this brief injunction, we shall en-
deavor to point out such things as should
claim attention on the farm.
.sr WHEAT.
As the corps in several of the whea.
growing countries of Europe have been
short, and supplies will have to be drawn
from ours, and as whea. will, in conse.
queuce of scarcity be largely enhanced
in value an additional inducement pre-
senis itself for taking pains to put it in
well. Those therefore who may have
this work still to perform should make it
n du;y to Lave their wheat ground in
. state Of through pulverization.
ThoSe who may not have been able 10
procure supply of Gaano previous TO
Ploughing their ground. may we believe
safely use it as II top dressing. provided
they thoroughly mix with each 100 Tbs.
of it peek q laser. and a hi IL bushel
of salt. and harrow and c! oss harrow tho
mixture in.
THREsHING WHEAT.
We believe it always the part of true
economy to have the wheat crop threshed
out early. SO as to have it in readiness to
avail Of good price, and especially do
We urge the propriety of this policy upon
wheat growers 1T the present period, when
this great staple has risen in value, and
the best advices from Europe show, that
short crops have been grown there, and
snchanced value must be anticipated. In
view Of this state of things the farmer
should push ahead with his threshing, so
as to be able to take advantage of the
market at all times. In disposing his
crop of wheat the farmer should exert
keen judgment. lest the profit which
should go into Ais pocket, finds it's way
into that of the buyer.
STOCK GENERALLY.
As your pastures are now almost bare
of grass, your stock should be so cared
for. by given additional food, as to make
up for the deficient supplies of the pas
lures. in order that they may be brought
into their Writer quarters in good condi-
ton. Stock that are brought into their
yards. stables and sheds. in such condi-
ton are much easier kept through the
winter.
BUCKwuEAT.
Let this crop he harvested before the
frost comes to cut it down; and recollect that
the straw if properly cured makes very
good provender for cattle, that it is fully as
good for such purpose as straw.
FALL PLoUGHtNG.
All stiff tenacious CLAWS should be forth
with ploughed, in order that by exposure
to frosL their adhesive nature may be re-
duced. Ii such lands need lining, there
can he no better time selected to apply
either lime or mari than just after they
may have been pIoushed. Next spring
rs soon as the frost is out of the ground
and the batter susceptible of being work
ed without danger of being poached by
the tread of animals, such plouShed lands
should be rolEsd hurr0,OcI, and cross har-
roI0ed with the double purpose. of redu-
cling it to a state OF ptIverzation, and of
mixing the lime. or mari. as the case
may be. thoroughly with the soil. Lime
or mari thus used will act the first year.
Ii such lands need manuring, they
must of course be MANFRED before being
ploughed, unless you have time and in
clination to give them a cross ploughing
in the spring. If strong, concentrated,
animal manure be used previous to fall
plouss ching. a bushel of plaster per acre,
should be spread over the manure before
it is Ploughed in.
We would here reiterate what we have
often stated before tenacious clays should
nevsr be ploughed wet or dry, but when
moderately moist.
SHADE TREES AND suRuBBERY.
1t your homSteud is not surrounded with
shade trees and shrubbery. have some
planted this fall as soon as the leaves fall !;
far a dwelling in the country, no matter
what may BE- its comforts within, looks as
desolate and unsightly as it is well for
the human mind To cunceive-it looks
like Il bachelors hall, which. i'll the alb
seuce OF woman, Is rs cherries as the
desert. and rs comtorteSs as an Arabs
tent /; for without woman to cheer by her
presence and conversation, and soothe by
her gentlenesS and kindness. this beautiful
world OF ours would be u barren waste, and
as insuTernble "A home-as void of allure
ments-as Was the garden of Ellen before
its bowers we're enliveued by the presence
of Eve.
