GRASS FIELDS.

It 10 often a serious loss when fields in wheat the
previous season. and seeded down with the view to
remain in grass for several years. prove examna
ton that the grass seed either from dry ther or
other causes has very imperfectly taken.
The usual rotation, which requires each field to be
plewed in its turn or may be required is seri-
ouGly interfered with by such a mishap
In these cases, we would advise few quarts of
grass seed to be sOwn to the acre on the surface
while the fosts of spring have left it comparatively
open, and when the ground becomes dry enough pass
over the roller. This will cover the see and very
often cause it to grow and vegetate beautifully

sUNDRY CONSIDERATIONS.

Does every animal have comfortable protection
from the pinching cold and pelting storms? If they
do not rest assured that their propretors losing
money faster than they are aware of.
Put calves in an apartment by themselves espe-
sally at night, where they can be well fed and
where they can lie down and be comfortable. A
few hundred feet Of boards, and three hours work,
will make comfortable shelter for half dozen
calves. Let them be well fed with the finest quail
ity Of hay and some cut corpstocks, and cut straw
with about quart of meal, each, daily and let
them have good bed Of straw.
When there are few weak and feeble sheep, let
them be separated from the flock and placed by
themselves, where they will receive little extra
attention.
See that stofs hogs have good nest-warm and
dry; as they will not thrive we'll when exposed to
the wet and cold of winter.
Let every domestic animal have access, at all
times, to good water that is near by. When they
are compelled to 90 furlong or two-as many cat
tie do-they often drink too much, which gives them
the collie.
Cut down timber for saw logs this month, and let
the trees fail on small logs that they may be ready
to be hauled to mill when the first snow falls
When the ground is not frozen. laborers may
work advattagcously and pioftaby at picking stone
and other distractions from the meadows.
Let the manure of the horse stable be spread
around the yard, and suffer it not to remain in a
heap and "hre-fang"
Examine the outlets Of under drains and remove
everything that obstructs the course of the water
which flows out of them.
