HINTS TO FARMERS.

The Fat Contributor. OF the Cincinnati
Times contributes the following hints,
which may not be of any use to our sg-
riculturai readers:
Now that the winter is approaching it
would perhaps he MS well 20 discOntinue
haying, and tnrn your attention 10 get
ting in your fall saw logs. No farmer
can consider his fail work connplete-an-
til he has his cellar we'll supplied with
saw-logs. Seated around blazing hearth
of winters night, there is no fruit moro
delicious.
A correspondent asks us what we
think Of late plowing. Plswing should
not be continued later than ten or eleven
O'Clock et night. 1t gets the horses in
the habit of staying out late, sud duly
EXPOSES the plow. We haue known
plows to acquire spring halt and inilam-
matory rheumatism from late blowing
Don't do IT..
To anot her correspondent, who wants
us to suggest good drain On a farm, we
would say heavy mortgage at ten per
cent. will drain i,as rapid y as anything
we know of.
When you make cider selest nothing
but the soundsst turnips, chopping lhem
into slsd length before cradling thern.-
In boiling your slider use plenty " ,cs,
and when boiled hang them up in Tho
sun to dry.
In sowing your winter sppie-jack a
horse rake will be found preferable to a
step ladder. Step-ladders are liable tO
freeze up. and are hardly palstsbls IN
less boiled with sugar.
The coming cold weather should sug-
gest 10 the humane farmer the necessity
for cow shed. The following is = re-
cspt for making Il gcsd cow shed: Pour
psilful OF boiling hot water On tee
buck, and if tbst don't make good cav
shed-her hsir-wo are no profit to any
body.
Now is the time for planting your
winter hay. The pink eyed SOHtl,-
down is probably The best yarie y, AS j.
does not need polling, and begins 70 lay
early.

KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTS.

A writer in the OHIO F'trHcr tells the
readers of that paper how to sp4forn
accounts. He advises them to keep AN
account of
lst. All the labor expended upon the
farm daily, where, and for what pnr-
rose.
I'd. The exact expense of every crop
for labor, manure, (Kc., together with the
yield of each.
Sd. All money expended upon the
farm, and all received therefrom, when,
in what amounts, and for what.

npf earance of his crops, results of MI OK

Interest or use at future day.
To 90 this will require three blank
books of moderate size--a day -bsok,
ledger and farm journal. In the day
book should bS entered each evening all
sales and purchases; all amounts re-
ceiyed and paid out, nll accounts with
crops, laborers, neighbors, and, in fact,
all with whom you have any dealings

As soon as = crop is harvested, ascertain
now much each item of expense has

the ledger, which should he Iuled 30

can be placed upon the same page. From
such an account can be- told what eaeh

&C., cost; and this can he done by'Nu
. other way than by keeping an aceoun
of each item of xpenss i'll raising them
In the journal should be entered each
day, clearly and briefly, the various OPP
erstiOns of the farm for that day; thu
kind OF work done, the time of each

crops, and any other items You may
wish to remember. Thus you have re-
cord of work done upon the farm,
whether in improvements or in crops,
and can tberefroA tell what work Was
done each day of the year. The journal

A travelling dress should be strong in
fabric, and simple in make.
Stiff, stout material should be wern in

heels are always thin in cheap or poor
hosiery.
Never get ahead of the season, Bet
ter he late than too early.
Ready made garments usually rip q

laying OF IS perchcs of masonry besides heavy
