SAVE THE Soor.-This, though generally
thrown into the streets and wasted is one
of the best manures. 1t is extensively nsed in
England, and when only Is or 20 bushels are
applied to the acre, it induces tho most luxnri-
ant crops Of wheat, and other grains. 1t con-
tains, in small compass, almost all the ingredi-
ents of the coal or wood used for fuel. 1t al
so contains several salts of ammonian, magnc.
sia, lime and muriatic acid It's components
are the natural food or stimulents of plants,
and it can used to great advantage as con-
centrated fertilizer, to stimulate terminating
seed in the drill 1t is not only sown broad
cast with the grain, but it is applied to the
root crops with the best results. Potatoes
and carrots, especially, are benefited by it
Six quarts Of sootsto hogshead of water
make an excellent liquid manure for the gar
den. 1t can be applied with safety to all gar
den crops, and will pay for saving. In put
ting the stoves, furnaces and fire places in or
der for Winter, bear it in mind, that SCOT is
valuable, and will be wanted for Spring use.
One, two, three or more barrels can be saved
easily 10 most families, especially where wood
is burned.

Sailing PoRK-It is important to have the
pork we'll cooled before sailing. And it should
never be allowed to freeze 1t should always
have a great supply of salt, and Of the strong
est quality, and brine should be made and
poured into the barrel For if nothing but
water is put in with the salt the pork may be
injured before the salt is melted enough to
make good brine.
The meat should have a weight upon it, TO
keep it under the brine for if pieces Of meat
are permitted to rise above the brine, and re-
main there for any considerable time, they
will be tainted, and will not taste sweet, as
wel-salted meat always WILL
A wooden cover is often used to keep the
meat under the brine, but stone cover is
better A hole may be drilled in stone
cover and handle inserted at very small
cost.
In regard to the scum that our correSpon-
dent speaks Of we say that standing pools of
water, either salt or fresh, will have scum
on them. Agitation is the remedy which ma
ture provides The ocean is agitated to keep
it pure, and agitation, coupled with salt, is ef
fectual
Ponds have impure water-and why p
Ponds of small dimensions are not agitated
enough As a general rule, the larger the
more free from scum Running brooks have
purer water than ponds, because in running
the water mingles with the atmOsphere-the
grand purifier Of oil things.
Motion, in streams of water, brings ali the
foul or riley matter in contact with the other
matter on the bank that has as affinity for il,
SO that u long brook may run itself pure
though it may have been affected with filthy
matter near its source.
Agitation of the pork barrel daily will have
the effect Of preventing the accumulation of
scum on the surface but if this is not conve-
nent, the white surface may be skinned off
as soon as it rises.
1t is quite important to every family to
have good salt pork. 1t is the very cheapest
meat that we can procure, and for cooking
vegetables it is the best that is used 1t
needs no butter to enrich it, but it enriches all
with which it comes in contact Farmers
should not fail to have supply of pork in the
cellar. Then, if the butcher forgets to come,
there will be something for rdinner,-Exchange.

Look out for the Winter.

The falling leaves reminds US that the cold
and stormy months are near at hand-are
even here. Silently, but steadily and surely
the seasons revolve, each bringing its peculiar
measures and duties The boys through the
country, we take it, are now enjoying them
selves in gathering chestnuts, beechnnts. but
ternuts, walnuts, and the like, for their con-
sumption during the long Winter evenings
Farmers and provident housekeepers generally
are storing away in their cellars, apples, W IN
ter pears and vegetables and supplying their
barns and sheds with all things needtul for the
health and comfort of their stock.
Alas ! we fear we must recall the
last statement, or modify it somewhat. Ihere
are farmers who neglect some of their duties
at this season, and need occasional prompting
from their neghbors or from the agricultural
press. To such we say, Look out for Winter
See that your barns are in complete repair. -
1t is economy to spend all needful time and
labor in doing this All domestic animals as
you know, must keep up their vital heat by
some means, to about 100 degs, and this can
be done wholly by consuming food, or in part
by food, and partly by shelter. If they are
left ont of doors, or kept in dilapItated sta
bles, they will eat as much more to keep them
selves warm than if they were comfortably
housed And besides, uniform temperature
is healthier for animals, as for men, than a
changeable one. 1t is great folly to keep
stock out of doors in Winter for the sake OF
hardening them"
Our exhortation, then, is to give horses
cattle, Sheep and even pigs aud poultry good
Winter quarters. Those which are fitting fol
market, will of course need more shelter and
care than others which are simply being Win
tered over but all should be made comfort
able Battens should be nailed over the crack:
on the exposed sides of the barns, every loose
board should be frightened, and double walk
in the immediate neighborhOod of the horse
stalls would not be thrown labor away.
Then, as to fodder, see to it that you have
enough Short commons in Winter is no MARI
of good farming. Pinch yourself, rather thar
your stock To make food go great ways
provide yourself with straw-cutter. Corn
stalks cut fine will be eaten up to the bulbs by
cattle and straw, clover and coarse hay, vii
he eaten much cleaner than if fed out uncut
They will also be better digested. If grain
or meal of any kind is mixed with the cut food
it should always be mostened with water
Apples, carrots, turnips potatoes, &c. should
be kept on hand and fed out at intervals ii
the Winter. The dumb beasts relish these
dishes exceedingly, and every true farmer cal
read their satisfaction in their expressive face
and such readings does him good.
