The Farm House Garden.

Select warm, dry piece of ground near
the house. If not naturally drained, make
good underdrain with stone or tile
\ fine loan soil is much preferable to
gravelly or clayey soils yet little labor
in removing the coarse gravel and replacing
it with clay in the one case and adding
fine sand or swamp muck in the other will
with proper drainage, good manure and
thorough plowing, make an excellent gar
den anywhere
If the soil is light, too much horse manure
should be avoided, as it tends to render the
soil lighter and dryer, without imparting to
it sufficient t Xture. Cow manure, or a
mixture of the two would make the best
application for such soils, while for a heavy
soil, horse manure would be most desirable
AS a rule, manure the ground heavily .-
y mixture Of stable, banyard and hog ma
nurc makes an excellent dressing for any
soil. After ordinary blowing, either sub
soil, or run the common plow again III the
furrow, thereby deepening the soil Hur-
ried blowing should always be avoided :
the ground should be well broken and care
fully narrowed. When the garden is small,
and there are asparagus beds, Strawberries,
currants &c, to interfere, spading or fork
ing is better than powing
in laying out garden, all that is requisite
Is to employ common sense. Don't waste too
much ground with useless walks, or make
too many beds

Hints For the New Year.

The farmers Of our country WILL as a
class, enter upon the year 1866 under fa-
vOrable auspices. The high prices and
ready sale of farmers produce and the fa-
cility with which labor-saving machinery
may be obtained, combine to make the
farmers calling profitable and comparative
ly easy. 1t is we'll for every farmer on the
opening of another year to review the past,
see what Improvement can be made, turn
over new leaf, and lay his plans for the
future. We would make the following
suggestions for the coming year:
lst Subscribe for one good agricultural
paper. The farmer needs papers devoted
to his own interest, as much as a merchant
or politician. The farmer who does not
take an agricultural paper is decidedly be
hind the times. He must change his course,
take the papers and read them or he will
be an inferior farmer
I'd. Get some good agricultural books to
read and study during the leisure Of stormy
days and the long winter evenings.
3D. If you have children, send them to
school +; take an interest in their studies,
and help them to good education 4
good common sense education never came
amss to any one and in these times the
saying is true, "Knowledge is power"
4th. Keep record of your farm opera
tions, of what you do each day especially
note the time You begin TO plow, plant, &c,
the early and late frosts, and Of the ripen-
ing and harvesting Of grain Such re
cord may be pleasant to refer to i'll future
years.
9Th. Keep your accounts. Be able to
tell at the end Of the year how much money
you have received, how much You have
paid out and how you stand with the
world.
Finally, do your business on scientific
principles act up to all the light you have;
read, reflect and study; make home at
tractive; have books and papers for every
member of the family; improve your time
and your mind. Act well your part in life
and you will not need to envy men in other
walks of life but will have cause to rejoice
that you are an American farmer.-A
Ne,c England Farmer.

The Farmers Home.

Many farmers labor zealously and uncea-
singly to have their farms carefully arran-
ged, with woodland and cleared field, occu-
pying Just the right space their meadows
free from weeds and stones in short, eve
rything in praiseworthy order, till one comes
to the centre round which all these minor
interest revolves, and here, where should
cluster all the attractions that render home
loved and lovely, one finds more to repel
than to attract A small, dilapldated house
a relic of the olden time, with no alry,cheer-
ful rooms to light up the family temper no
labor-saving appliances to cheer ana lessen
the ever-recurring daily toll no pleasant
dooryard with the refining breath OF per-
fumed flowers to elevate and purify the al
fections but all seems cheerless and des-
olate sordid and selfish. Oh, for some mag
ic power to make the owners of such homes
feel how fatal to their t1ue interests is such
state of affairs If the aim is but firm
Iy fred on better condition of things, the
change can soon be brought about by uni
ted effort, and the added expense VIII
be scarcely felt. The wife and children Will
work with double energy, for their hearts
will be in it, if they know the Ola house Is
to be replaced by better, and the tum-
ble-down wall or fence removed to give
place to neat painted one of pickets or
boards Each will be ready to dispense
with the promised new garment, or other
anticipated indulgence to add to the gener-
al fund and each will gladly lend help
ing hand to remove unsightly rubblsh,plck
up loose stones, destroy noXious weeds, and
to set out shade trees and shrubbery, to
make and trim the grassy lawn, bright
bright and happy smiles will take the place
of sour and discontented looks, and the i'm
provement in the serenity and cheertulness
of the family circle will keep pace with the
exterior progress, so true it is that the in
ner life will, to greater or less extent,
like mirror, reflect the impress of all its
surroundings. In view Of all this, parents
should spare no effort, nor consider any
sacrifice too great to make, to render their
homes pleasant and attractive, and full of
elevating and refining influences, if they
would have their children grow up suscep-
tible to all good and noble emotions the
blessing and crown of their declining years.

Winter Care of Calves.

It is often a practice with farmers to
give their calves no shelter but some old
Shed, with cracks enough between the
weather boarding almost to canse them to
perish in severe cold weather. Besides this
disadvantage, the calves are often turned
out with older young stock that eat most
of the fodder fed out, and the calves have
to eat their leavings and the consequence
is, they become poor, and seldom recover
from the effects of their winter manage
ment.
Calves will do very we'll in winter under
a warm shed, facing the East or South; but
they should not be disturbed, in eating their
fodder, by other stock.
Nor is it good policy to deprive calves OF
a few beets or carrots daily, if you have
them and if you have not got them, you
cannot expect to be called a good, thrifty
farmer Four quarts Of carrots a day.
which cost about two cents to produce, Will
be of great advantage to each calf, or 9th
er young stock, in the winter season ; and
in no case can farmer feed his young stock
on anything else of the same cost, that will
be more beneficial.
A small mess of meal daily is also excel
lent for calves Corn and oats, or corn in
the cob with oats, ground to meal, and a
little mixed with water and fed to them
daily, would not be lost. Corn meal alone
is not Objectionable but we prefer oats
and corn, or corn ground in the cob There
is no real nutriment in the cobs, but it is a
very easy way to provide meal, saving the
expense Of shelling the corn, being Of a
light nature and we think better adapted
to easy digestion, while the entire nutri-
tion of the corn is secured.
In regard to warm quarters for stock,
we presume that most farmers know, or
ought to know, that an animal will require
considerable more food, when kept shiver-
ing in the cold, than when provided with
good, warm sheds or stables.
In no part of the world, we think, do far
mers seem to be more deaf and blind to
the above fact than they who live upon the
prairies of the West, where thousands
ought to be indicted for cruelty to animals,
in not providing their stock with proper
winter shelter

Hens Laying in Winter

Perhaps the nearest approach t. the
evcr-bearing theory, is attained in some of
the popular breeds OF domestic fowls 1t
Is nice thing to have fresh eggs in winter,
and a practice not TO be discouraged to
coax the motherly hens into a generous
yield OF the coveted articles but the fact
is not to be disguised, that hen which is
forced into great winter laying for the
table Is not in the best condition to get mp
nest full Of eggs for spring Matching
An egg for the table is one thing. and an
egg for future chicken is another thing:
the difference may not be appreciablc on
the table, but it will be III the brood, when
the sickly little things drop off with gaps,
roup and other ailments which feeble
constitution has not vitality enough to sur
vive
The philosophy OF all this is Just here ::
Nature must have her season Of rest, and
if these are encroached upon, she revcnges
herself by a faulty production. We shonld
rather be satisfied with a fair crop of the
best quality in It's season. than to force a
perpetna production out Of its season, at
the risk OF a worse quality and fatal drain
upon the source Of our supplies This is
about what we set out to say under the
head of Great Expectations, which ofrener
end IN signal dlsappointments.
50 says the Ohio kdJmer and it is .'as
true as preaching" that hens that lay all
winter cannot lay much in the spring. In
warm climates, where there is no winter.
hens cease to lay in the fall of the year, a 5
they Do here, which shows that nature re-
quircs that they should rest awhile. Don't
force your hens too much 10 lay eggs i'll the
winter season, as you reverse the order of
their nature, and gain little, or nothing in
the end

hrSt years OF their lives, that they never

haudlmg 10 keep colts right, they must
be so provided for that they will grow
right straight along. Ii they get a set
back in the winter, it is fatal to their prom
er development, and if a colt is obliged to
lean against the fence in the spring, with
his lousy coat turned towards his head if
rs an affidavit of bad keeping, that will out
swear any protestations OF 'plcnty to eat,

farmer can urge in paliiation of his nen.
lcct.
In winter, colts want Il dry, sheltered
yard, well stocked with straw racks fixed
up on rails like an \, across a firm baaripo
beam. These will afford both fodder and
shelter. The yard should be well encircIed
oy open sheds, and kept clear of RAMPANT
steers and all other hooking cattle Il is
well enough 10 handle the colts in dav time
and keep the hair straight and clean bnt
they should sleep at will during the NIGHTS

For feed, the colts should have what bav
they will eat up clean, and the hay should
