From the Northwestern Farmer
September Work for the Month.
"Pale Autumn sheds dusky hue
Where the gay flowers Of summer grew,
Yet spreads its treasures DER the land,
Maturd by Nature'a potent hand"
AS spring is the season of hope, so
is Autumn that offruition. The farm
er with his well filed barns and gra-
neries, has leisure to breathmore free
ly. But, though, the hurry and heat
of harvesting is past, there is much yet
to be accomplished by way of finish
ing up summers labors, and by way of
preparation for the next spring, and
helping on the work for that season, so
short in our Northwest, that we scarce
know it but by name. .HamrA
Remember the complaints of last
spring, ofbad seed corn, and, if not al
ready done, select your seed now,
while yet standing in the field; choose
ears which are sound and we'll filled,
the earliest ripened from stalks yield
ing two or more ears; trace and hang
up in a granery sor out building. Corn
thus saved, will grow, even though the
season should not be the most faYora-
