fold it in half, place dish on the top OF
the pan, and turn the omeiette out.
Kitchen Garden. AS long as the
ground can be worked, there is some
thing which the gardener can do for
the benefit of future crops, Manuring
and blowing, or trenching is all the
better done now, and drains may b9
laid. Stiff soils thrown into ridges will
be much ameliorated by the frOsts OF
winter. Make surface drains to carry
water away from crops left out over
winter. All refuse matter should be
secured to add to the manure heap.
Weeds that have gone to seed, are to be
dried and burned.
ASPARAGUS. Make new beds as here
tofore directed Give old beds a COW
ering of littery manure.
BEETs AND CARR rs. Hard frosts in
jure these, and they should be out of
the way of harm. Store in a dry cellar,
and cover with sand to prevent whiting.
CABBAGEs. Take mp and protect by
some of the methods. The Savoys
which are better for freezing, do very
well if heeled-in close together, and
covered with straw and boards laid over.
CELERY. That grown i'll flat culture,
should be taken up and put in trenches.
If the weather continues mild, that in
trenches may have another earthing up.
We have seen good results from plants
grown on the surface and blanched by
putting salt hay between them. This
excludes the light, and the celery blan-
ches and i3 kept clean.
CoLD FRAMES. Keep open if the
weather is mild, but close up before
night fall. Have shutters or mats, to
put over in the case of cold snap.
MICE. = These do great mischief
among seeds and plants. Use traps
and poison. Be careful not to harbor
any in the cold frames.
PARsNIPS AND Satisfy. THE princi-
pal part of the crop may be left in the
ground, but dig enough for use while
the earth is frozen, and bury in the
cellar.
RHUBARB. 1t is better to make new
paintings in the fall, as it starts so ear
ly In the spring the plants are apt to
get too large before the ground can be
worked. Divide old plants with sharp
spade, so that each crown or bud will
lave a portion of root attached. Set 4
feet apart each way In high MANFRED
soil. Give old beds heavy manuring.
SPINACH Give a light covering of
litter.
danger of frost, gather and store In pits
or In the cellar.
WOODEN APPLIANCES stakes,
niences of wood will last much longer if
put under cover for the winter.
Fruit Garden Preparation of the
soil, planting hardy trees and shrubs,
and caring for tender ones will be in
order.
BLAcKBERRIEs. -Set out plants as
heretofore directed. ALI will do better
if the canes can be laid down and COW
cred with earth. Dig the earth away
from one side of the stool, and then
crowd it over.
CURRANTs AND GoosEBERRIEs. These
require similar treatment. A good
dressing of manure will benefit old
bushes.
DWARF APPLES AND PEARs.-Trees
may be planted if the soil is we'll pre-
pared. Cut the bark before planting,
more or less severely, according to the
vigor of the tree.
GRAPE VINEs.-Two years from the
bud is old enough for planting in well
drained soil, worked and MANFRED to
the depth of twenty inches. Cut the
vine back to within foot of the ground
at planting. Spread the roots equally,
and after they are covered, make a
mound of earth around the stem to pro-
tect the bud.
FLOWING. dry weather which
has prevailed during the autumn, will
make the ground very hard to pillow in
many places, but some fields may be
much better plowed now than next
spring The benefit of the frost in
winter, the fact that the teams are in
better condition for work, and the great
er leisure we have now than in spring,
should lead us to do all the blowing
possible this fall: fs
POULTRY. TO have eggs in winter,
the hens must have warm, light quar-
tiers, well ventilated, frequently cleaned
out, always sweet; they must be regu-
larly fed, never have too much, never
too little, and always fresh water. IF
all the hens are induced to lay in the
winter, there will be few or none to Law
or to set in the spring for May or June
broods.
SHEEP. Let the rams run with the
ewes for March lambs, not allowing val
liable animals to share their attention
