MsvrnsEniI gloomy, sad November, we well
come you, Notwithstanding your grave coun-
tenancev and despoiled appearance. :
Nosembef, sithough Chased as the last Au-
tuuan month, in our autumn climate partakes
far more of Winter thantof Summer; and,
on its conclusion, We often see the white garb
Of Winter spread over all the earth about us.
1t b csetainly changeable month, and will
sometimes justify the description Of q fine
writer from whom we quote the following
The fruit trees have now shed their leaves
theagfass ofthe meadows is withered; dark
clouds gather in the sky; the rain falls in
heavy showers; the roads are impaired, and
Mdlking abroad is almost impracticable. The
sers leaves.and withered grass, moistened by,
the autumnal rains, form rich manure to fer
tilizc the land" ~ =
Novcnber commences the period when the
fsrmer can find time during the long evenings
forsstoting his mind with useful information.
Will he not embrace and improve it, viii
he not remember that. Enowledgs is Poscer to
him, as well as to the mechanic or lawyer?
November, however, demands variety Of
hand work as well as head-work.

In districts where snow lies deep it is diff
ficult in winter to chop and collect wood or
timber. This may be done this month to
great .dvapagc. Splitand pile it up in your
wood-house to have it seasoned. Full one
half of the value Of wood is lost by being
burnt while green.

If you wish to save fuel, and always have

November is a good month for the pigs toj
grow and the hogs to fatten. Give them a
drg, warm place. and just as, much clean,
nutritious food as they will eat with a good
appetite, and no more. If any is left in the
trough, take it away at o4ce,-leave no swill

SHEEP.
Take care ofthe sheep. Give them plenty
Of timothy or clover hay, and opportunity to
90 under cover when they please; and they
should have racks and be fed under cover in
stormy weather.
YOUNG ORCHARDS.
Bank up around the stems Of young trees
land when the first snow comes
tread it down around them If mice are
numerous, place tin ten inches
hseh sonnd each tree. "It costs something"
Certainly but better do that than lose a nice
tree, and break up your rows.

ready for you? And if the calendar for
