Preparing for Winter.

The time Is close at hand when the
farmer will have closed his preparations
for the winters forage. The drought has
very seriously reduced the hay product,
but, on the other hand, it has enabled
him to save his grain in extra condition.
In threshipg, care should be used to save
the straw carefully, in compact, we'll built
stacks One or two extra hands will do
it, and its value for feeding will be nearly
equal to ordinary prairie hay.
The waste OF straw in the great grain
growing districts of the West is enor.
nous for the want of cattle TO eat 1t, but
this season many farmers will be obliged
to make their straw go far in wintering
their stock, and it is good or bad feed &C
cording as il is well or badly saved. In
the first instance cattle, young horses, and
mules will come through the winter on il
in fine condition, with the addition OF q
little grain, but If carelessly stacked, they
win have to be tailed up in the spring, If
they do not die outright
Two acres of well-cured corn fodder
will bring a COW or steer through the
| winter in fine condition. The expense OF
cutting, hauling and feeding should not
| be more than FIVE dollars-considerab
| less than the expense of two tons of tim
othy hay. One acre OF fodder, and plenty
Of straw will DO nearly as well. For
| mich COWS there is no better feed than
corn fodder.
A little extra exertion this fall will en-
| able the farmer to go into winter quarters
without fear for the cattle. Have you
made provision for sheds and other shelter
against the bleak and freezing prairie

Our Southern exchanges noe a
marked and salutary change in the
methods of land culture at the South,
since the war. We are told that great
er attention is paid by planters to
economizing the resources of the soil
by means OF fertilizers, and an in
creased disposition evineed to avail
them selves of labor-saving machinery
and the more general employment of
animals. Several millions OF dollars
have been expended in fertilizers in
Savannah alone, and n very large
trade has also been had in that line in
all the great cities Of the South. The
result of this improvement husbandry
can scarcely fail 10 be larger crop
than heretofore, produced at less cost,
taking the depreciation of land into
account. The crop Of 1859 was 5, 300,-
900 bales, and it is anticipated that at
least four million bales will he pro-
duced in tho present year. With i'm
proved culture the crop may be still
further enlarged, without detriment
to other branches of agriculture.-Ne,c

Lesser lights Of Democracy have issued

scrvative elements of the people, call

They beg good men TO lay aside minor
matters, and forget dead issues, and by

Gratis like themselves 10 Congress TO
restore patriotism, morality and intcg-

exceedingly touching in the appeal,
and we do not envy the head or heart
Of the man who can rise from its per-
usal without having his patriotic emo
tions stirred to their inmost depths.
An appeal in behalf Of moral reform
coming from Morrissey will have n
good effect upon his rat pit consttu-
ents. Fernando Woods exhortations
have special reference to municipal
reform, rs il will be remembered that
his nomination TO the mayoralty Of
New York City was urged on the
ground that he had promised, if elect
ed, 10 steal some ten millions per an
mum less from the city treasury than
his Democratic competitor hal done.
The bibulous Salisbury, whom his
constituents love with love passing
the love OF woman, represents the
temperance reform mo, ,ement-while

himself to resisting the influence of
Senator Hendricks miscegenation

now standing OH the head of whisky
