afford similar protection, by covering ouI
plants with mulch ofsome kind. Straw
berries can be easily covered with straw.
A light covering is enough Ii will pre-
vent the plants from being heaved out

greatly protect the plants, and increase,
largely, the product the following spring.
Corn~stalks, leaves or brush, will also
answer very well for protection Rasp-
berry canes should be bent down, and
shovel-full or two Of earth thrown over
them; or, they can be bent down, and
covered with earth by plow. With
tender varieties, this is Indispensable,
and it should not be neglected longer.
Many, and most varieties OF grapes,
are better for having their canes protect
ed. They should be laid on the earth,
and either earth or straw, or some covers
ing. put over them. We are liable to
have very cold weather now, at any time,
and we should DO prepared for it,
Up to this writing-NOv l6-the
weather in the vicinity of St Louis, has

ruption from frost or cold storms But
the winter winds will soon begin to whis-
tie and all kinds OF fruits and vegetables

Calves should enter upon cold weathe'

health. Shelter and an abundance OF
nutritious food should be provided as soon
as grass becomes frost-bitten and poor
and cold storms Of sleet and rain begin to
be frequent They demand the finest
and best hay grown on the farm, and
should have in addition q little oil meal,
bran or oats Roots will be found an
excellent food for calves during the wins
ter, in addition to the oil meal or bran
above mentioned. Some prefer oats, say
pint or little more per day, to each
animal We have seen calves wintered
through in fine condition upon hay and
oats as above, but we prefer mixture of
oil meal and bran, and if it can be had,
daily feed Of turnips or carrots. Calves
that are we'll cared for, that have warm
shelter, and thatget snfheieney of nutri-
tious food, not over fed, continue their
growth during the winter, and will usu-
ally come in milk when two years old,
which is a matter of considerable import
ance to the dairyman. In our experience
in raising stock we find by tar the most
important period to give close attention
to the animal is during les first year
Neglect during that time is almost always
attended with loss A poor, runty calf,
poorly wintered, cannot be expected to be
in milk the next year, and at three years
old is no better for the pail than the two
years old that has had generous treatment
and care from its birth-yet the former
has cost considerable more than the lat-
ter Many farmers make no estimate Of
the cost of raising stock, and hence do
not appreciate the difference between
heifers coming in milk when two and
three years old. Every animal raised on
the farm should be charged with every
item of its expense until it begins to pay
the farmer back either in milk or beef
By Keeping strict account with stock
we are enabled to see at glance whether
there is gain or loss in the business of
stock raising. lf such accounts were
more generally kept, we apprehend more
would be given to calves in |
pushing them forward, so that full and
early development Of the animal may be |
secured. Some object to putting calves
in stanchions, preferring to let them run |
loose in the stable We have never seen
any i'll effect from stanchioning calves,
but, on the contrary, believe there are
many advantages from this mode ofman
agement
Less room is occupied when they are
thus confined, and they with their stable
are kept cleaner than when allowed to
run loose. They are more easily fed,
when any extra food is given,
aud each one gets its share and is not
driven about by master or stronger anis
mails By giving them run in the yard
avery day, they get sufficient exercise,
while the early breaking to the stanchion
md the handling daily, render them more
locile and more easily managed as they

One Of cur exchanges advises its read
ers to water their horses from q pond or
stream, rather than from spring or
well for the reason that the latter is gen.
orally hard and cold, while the former is
soft and comparatively warm, and that
the horse prefers soft muddy water to
hard water, though ever so clear. Mr..
b Cartledge, Of Sheffield, England, a
member Of the Royal Veterinary College,
calls attention to the very common miss
take made by keepers Of horses in lin.
iting the supply of water - their ami
mails Many owners Of horses, most
grooms and others who have the charge
of them, profess, he says:
"To know how mach water ought to be
allowed, and, when a poor, thirsty, over
driven animalarrives at his Journey : end,
he is treated to a very limited supply,
and the pail is taken away before its ne.

abdominal pain, it is from long abstin-
ence, and when the horse drinks to ex-

horse to drink from every trough | meet
on the road, if the water be clean, and
ia my own stud, never had a case OF

before them. A friend of mine, to whom
the other day, gave this advice directed
his servant to adopt it. The servant
shook his head, and said he thought be
knew as wells as Mr. Cartledge when his
horses required water, and how much.
The owner, in reply, told the servant
that might be so, and he must allow hi,

A good sausage grinder is almost as es-
sential to well ordered kitchen as q cof-
fee mill The proportion of fat meat to
lean will depend somewhat on the taste of
different people, but there should in all
cases, be a sufficient amount of fat in
them to supply what is needed in cooking.
If the pork you design for sausage con-
tains too little lean, you can supply the
deficiency by adding beef which is less
expensive and which forms with the pork
a mixture which is preferred by many to
pork alone.
The most difficult part of sausage max
ing is the seasoning. Many housewives
have no rule about it, but add some salt,
and pepper, and sage; cook u sample /;
find it not seasoned highly enough, and
try it over again; finally, from too little
seasoning, the maker manages to get in
too mach, for having tasted for some time
the substances used, their flavor is not 30
distinct as at first. An excellent proper
ton for the seasoning, is to add to one
hundred pounds of chopped meat two
add half pounds of fine salt, ten ounces
of black pepper, and eight ounces of well

buy the whole pepper cOrns, and to grind
them at home, as ground pepper is often
adulterated, and always loses its strength
after being ground Sage also often de.
teriorates by exposure TO the air and
moisture; but lift is in good condition,
the above proportion will be most accept
able to the majority oftastes.
1t is true that there are some persons
who prefer other herbs besides sage, such
as summer savOry and thyme, and there
are a few who relish spices Of various
kinds; but where sausages are to be made
to suit the tastes Of several persons, we
must be careful not to add any substance
that will offend the taste of any one. All
the ingredients should be thoroughly
mixed together, stuffed in skins or bags
made Of cotton cloth, or placed in shallow
earthen dishes. Their flavor is better
after they have been made some days,
thaniti is Immediately after they are made,

what culture the Peach Requires.


The peach is known by the best cults
vators as requiring great care in cultiva-
walton. Few things that grow out of
earth will pay 50 well for the care be-
slowed. And, without care, the peach is
failure. This, we may say, accounts to
a great extent, for the discouragements
which attend tho culture Of this most de-
licious of fruits Ii is tender, and there's
fore requires care; it must have it, or it
will fail Not only the amount Of tho
crop, but equally the quality, will fail
without care. Let no one attempt peach
culture unless he intends to be-
stow the necessary time upon it,
The grass must not only be kept
out, but the ground mast be mel
low, and mellow throughout, but espe-
cially at the top. Frnit growers in the
East grow corn or other crops, which re-
quire the stirring of the ground until the
orchard bears Then, the trees are cul-
tiyated rs one would corn The ground
is kept well stirred no grass nor weeds
are permitted This, aside from the ef-
feet Of the climate, is the principal thing.
