contrary is more or less injurious. We
should always prefer that the roots be
cleaned before feeding, and this can
be easily effected by root cleaner,
which any farmer can construct in a
few hours. The most simple device
for this purpose is an octagon box re-
volvipg on gudgeons and turned with
II crank, similar to machines for clean
ing castings used at the founderies.
1t may be made to hold two or three
bushels, and is constructed by taking
two pieces of plank for the ends, and
saving them into octagons two feet
four inches in diameter On these
sides strips of boards, two and half
feet long and ten inches wide, are
nailed, leaving space on opening at
the corners of an inch or SO wide, for
the dirt to drop out One of the sides
is on hinges, and is used as place
for introducing the roots. 1t is then
hung upon gudgeons, on one of which
is fitted q crank. Two bushels of root.
may be thrown in ut time, where
they are cleansed By slowly revolving
the box, few turns being sufficient
to wear off the dirt, leaving the roots
clean as if they had been washed. L
is simple affair, which any farme
can make in few hours, and to thos,
who grow roots for stock feeding, vii
save many days disagreeable work
while the health of stock must b
promoted by it's use.-L Utica Herald

The Farmers Wood Lot.


This being the season OF the year
when farmers generally are cutting, or
preparing to cut their years supply OF
firewood, few suggestions will not be
out of place.
Surprising a farmer requires ten
cords of wood n year to supply ms
family fires, and depends entirely upon
his wood-lot for it, his wood-lot should
consist of about fifteen acres. Taking
into consideration the amount of fire
wood he will annually pick up from
other sources, like trimmings and old
trees from the orchard, old fencing
stuff, &C., we think that fifteen acres
will be found ample for almost any
farmer, while less amount will sup
ply large proportion of them.
If then, farmer has wood lot, OF
a size just about sufficient to furnish
his fires, he should go about the work
of cutting his wood in systematic man
ner so as to make the most of his
supply. Let him begin on one side OF
the lot--say on the southerly side, il
convenient, and cut clean as he goes
The young shoots will then receive the
sun, and will grow rapidly and evenly
Surprising his lot to furnish thirty
cords of wood to the acre, it will take
him fJrty-five years to go over the
whole, and he may go back to the
first one cut, and again cut thirty
cords to the acre. This is, we think
very moderate statement because
upon ordinary land, wood will grow
thirty cords to the acre in about thirty
years. We have in our mind a piece
of fourteen acres, which was cleared
and sowed to rye, and then pastured &
year or two, and in twenty-seven years
from the first cleaning, it was agar
cut over, when it yielded at least thirty
cords to the acre. The growth wa'
oak, chestnut and maple
But few of our. farmers seem to b'
aware how rapidly young wood vii
grow, under favorable circumstances
and as there is an increasing scarcit,
of wood, in New England especially
we have thought it best to call atten
ton to the Importance of pursuing
some well-defned plan, so that tn

Ticks, and How to XIII Them

Winter is now upon us, and ticks
are something that will not pay to
winter, and the cheapest and most ex
pedi tious way to kill them is the best.
Well, the best way is by smoking
them with tobacco. Take q common
hand bellows, costs but few shilhngs,
and attach o metallic tube one and a
half inches in diameter and six inches
long, with perforated partition near
the further end, to prevent the burning
tobacco from being blown into the
wool with the smoke, and on the end
next the smoke-chamber attach a
nipple-shaped tube, to conduct the
smoke into the wool.
No solder should be used in making
this tube, as the heat from the burning
tobacco will melt the solder but if
you have no smith near but tin smith,
then wind the tube with old cloth,
kept wet to prevent unsodering the
one we use cost us twenty-five cents
at the tin smiths, exclusive of hand
bellows, which is family relic, re-
minding us of the days previous tc
friction or lucifer matches. The tin
tube is Tapped or hooked together, in
stead of being sQldered, and attached
to the bellows by a wooden plug in
serted into the tube and the tube Of the
bellows inserted into the plug suffi
GENTLY firm to hold the apparatus t.
the bellows while being worked.
Two persons are required, one t.
hold the sheep and the other to worl
the bellows, inserting the smoke-tub,
well into the wool in spots all over the
sheep, or where the ticks mostl,
burrow. A puff or two in place i
sure to kill then go over again whel
the nits are Matched.
The cost of material (cut tobacco
or as we prefer better, the unmanu
featured or raw material, is abou
one-half cent per head. The time
about five minutes to each sheep tn
same time as required in dipping, o
rather holding the lamb while beinl
drained.
The expense of Lalor's sheep-dir
ing composition, 100 sheep, is S.
leaving q balance of 81 so per hundre
in favor of smoking with tobacco
besides mourning no risk. GEoRo

Beef Pickle.

TO each gallon of water allow | 1-2
pounds of salt, half a pound of brown
sugar and molasses and half an
ounce of saltpetre Boil and skim
until pure. When cold, pour it over
your meat, and keep weight ON, to
keep the meat under pickle. Boil this
pickle over once n month in hot wealth
er, adding trihe of salt and sugar if
it seems weak, which may be tested by
floating an egg. Return it cold on
your beef, and you have pickeled beef
all the year without fault The remain
der of the beef may be used for inferior
roasts, or for stewing, or it may be
picked or corned, and kept to use at
discretion throughout the year. For
either purpose it should be soaked a
half day in cold water. wiped dry,
sprinkled lightly with saltpetre and
laid on shelf to dry for twenty
four hours. That designed for pickle
may be dropped in-that for corning
should be rubbed well, sailed, and
kept in cool place.
And here, having disposed of the
body of the beef, it may not be amiss
to remind our young friends that salt
is desirable only as n seasoning-that
although it must be used in certain
cases to preserve meat, still it impairs
the flavor of what is used rs fresh
meat, if used in the least excess.
While your beef is frozen or the
thermometer ranges near the freezing
point, there is no danger of losing meat
if not sailed at all. BY the way
freezing does not improve the qualit,
of any meat it insures its preserva
ton so long as it continues in Thu
state but it is better, if possible, t.
keep your meat barely above tn,
freezing point. If your meat is frozen
it must be thoroughly thawed, jby layin
in spring water, before you begin t.
cook it. Longer time is required t.
cook meat after being frozen thai
before. House Keepers HIND Book Il
