BY THE "FAT CONTRIBUTOR"

ny THE FAT CONTRIBUTOR.
Now that winter is approaching, it would
perhaps be rs well to discontinue haying,
and turn your attention to getting in your
fall saw-logs. No farmer can consider his
fall work complete until he has his cellar
we'll supplied with saw-logs. Seated around
the blazing hearth Of winters night,
there is no fruit more delicious. a cor
respondent asks us what we think of late
plonghing. Plouchiug should not be con-
tinued later than 10 or II O'Clock at night.
It gets the horses in the habit Of staying
out late, and unduly exposes the pillow.
We have known plows to acquire string
halt and inilammatory rheumatism from
late ploughing. Don't do it. 10 another
correspondent who wants us to suggest a
good drain on farm, we would say heavy
mortgage at ten per cent. will drain it
about us rapidly as anything We know of.
When you make cider select nothing but
the soundest turnips, chopping them into
ing your cider use plenty Of ice, and when
boiling hang it up in the sun TO dry. a
pick-ax should never be used in picking APP
pies. 1t has Il tendency TO break down the
vines and damage the hive.
In sowing your winter apple;jack horse
rake will be found preferable 10 IL Stcp-lad-
der. Step-ladders are liable TO freeze up,
and are hardly palatable unless boiled with
sugar. .. G.. ...s
In cutting down hemlock trees for cam
ming select only the largest. Don't throw
away the chips. as they make fine parlor or
namcnts, tncased in rustic frames Of salt
and vinegar.
Tie coming cold weather should suggest
to the. humane farmer the necessity for a
good cow-shcd. The following is receipt
for making good cow-shed: Pour pail
full of boiling hot water on her back, and ii
that don't make good cow-shed-her hair,
we are no prophet to anybody. Now Is
the time for planting your winter hay.
The pink-eyed Southdown is probably the
best variety, as it don't need polling and
begins to lay early.
