thick and fast. Amid the greater de
rnands do not overlook the smaller ones.
Lest on shou d, Let one OF your kind sug-
gest few n:nts.
As to your years stock oil wood: if you
have not cut and piled that under your
wood.shed, you may as well let thai pass;
you can haul one load at time du-
ring the reason, and cut it each night and
morning, Sundays excepted, for it Will be
green and chop easy lit does not burn
so fast as seasoned wood, then there is
something so interesting about going out
to the wood pile and pitching in an hour
or 80 in harvest time, 10 say nothing about
the good humor that such an arrange
ment keeps the women IN.
Those shade trees in front of the house
and along the street that have never been
set might as well be postponed TO some
ctEer time you can get along as well
without them as you hove done hereto-
orc they might get broke down, and
elder bushes and other rubbish out of
thef ence corners.
Those old dead arple-trecs that you
were going , reset with thrifty grated
ores, ana the fixing up the orchard fence
to keep the cattle and sheep out, might
be left to some other time, or when all
the old trees are dead, SO that you could
set the whole orchard at once.
AS TO fixing up fences, it Is a bad time
to do it in the spring, farmers are so bu~
sy ; then the cattle have got such notion
ofjumping the fences that they will jump
them anyhow. "Old Bose is better
remedy than high fences il is better to
say "sic."" take 'em lug EN- > than to
always bo laying up ra!s and mailing on
boards.
If your gates have settled so rs 10 re
quire the strength of Il man to tug them
around all the better they will not be
opened only when necessary, and then
only by men who will not forget to shut
them the wind never blows open such
gates, neither do boys injure them by
swinging on them.
If your smsller gates have hinge or
the fastening of, neve! mind you can do
that some odd spell if the hogs get into
the garden and eat up the early peas and
vegetables, or the old SOW gets among
the sheep and eat up halfdozen lambs,
take club, call the dog, and settle the
account at once it will give you more real
satisfaction than the fixing Of a hOlf-doz'
en- gates could.
If any boards have got off from the
barn, never mind such trifies it must be
poor barn that cannot stand half-dozcn
boards off. If you run for every such
trihe, what will become oc your leisure
moments
If the banks of your bitches by freez-
ing and thawing have slid in and filled
them, you had better not clean them out.
for they will surely fill up again, sooner or
later.
A very convenient place for old ana
new implements, such as wagons, sleghs,
sleds, plows, harrows. scrapes, rollers,
and old bits of boards. timb er, plank, re-
fuse brick. cobble stone, apple-tree brush,
etc., is along the street in front OF the
house. How can man afford to shelter
such things. Why it would require
nearly half acre rooted over.
The place for whfiletrees, chains, clevi'
ses, axes and hoes, is to drop them where
last used. Many farmer knows better
to carry such things to some hidiEg,place
for shelter. Moving horse
rakes cradles and scythes, should always
be left in the field where last used for
ten chances to ole il they co not require
TO be used in that very place the next
time
Plow shallow-plant and SOW late.
Your manure should be pi ed against
the sides of your barrs and stables, to
preserve them from rotting. If the heaps
10 large as To be troublesome, move your
buildings,or do as another mar dld-make
bee, and haul and scrapc the manure
into tho river.

want to be humbugged with book farm
