TAKE CARE OF THE LEAVES.

Now, just as the leaves are fal-
ing, is the proper time to rake them
up and put them into your barn
yard. There is far more valuable
matter in the leaf at this time than
if fully dried, and If you have q
muddy hole about your yard or
farm, be sure to I'LL it with leaves
as soon as possible. Mud-holes
always disfigure any place, but by
this course they are made to do
good service. The value OF leaves
is by no means fully understood; !;
they contain more potash than any
other part Of the tree, even when
dry, and ii taken up at this season
and composted with muck in a
pile or in q mud-hole in addition
to their potash they will yield q
