PREPARE FOE WINTER.

Many turner's too long delay the necessary
preparations for winter. In this cold and change
able climate, it shows great want of proper
foresight and economy 10 neglect snci repairs
and preventives as will secure sh, Tier ard warmth
for themselves and their stock, aud tend to the
preservation of the harvests of every kind which
have been secured. A board on, or pane or two
ot glass gone here aud there, may prove the loss
OF young and tender animals, or OF a portion OF
the potatoes, roots, or apples which have been
stored away. In snch case there is a double loss
"a loss of the property itself and of the labor
which produced it, and to which is to be added
the Inconvenience of supplying like amount, If
stock.
But this is not all. If the places where ami
mails are Kept are windy aud damp, large
amount of the food that would otherwise go to
increase the bulk of the carcass is consumed in
making good the waste induced in meeting the
large demand for animal heat. IL is said by
those who have given special attention tn the
matter, that from One-fOurth to one-third more
food is required to keep up the proper amount of
animal heat for an animal exposed to the cold
than is required for tbst is protected from
the elements by proper shelter.
So with regard to the house. day or two
spent IN making all tight about the underpin-
ming, in supplying whole for broken glass, and
in making the lodges about the windows so close
| as to prevent them from rattling, or admitting
the wind-and similar attention given TO the
dOOrs-wiil save considerable expense in the
amount of fuel required during the winter, and
greatly promote the comfort aud happiness Of
the family. No barn or house can he kept warm
at moderate cost, where the wind is allowed to
pass freely under the floors, as the air which is
warmed in the room is made lighter, and is rap
idly driven up by The ctlnstaut eurrt.iIt Of cold
air from btiow. This condition Of things in the
room is expensive, uncomfortable, trying, and
has a decided effect upon the spirit and manners.
No person could Tong preserve cheerful Tequa-
nimity, and be exemplary IN tOae aBd. manner,
under such circumstances They make a class
of trials which no considerable husband should
allow his family to contend against.
These are only Suggestions. Many other things
will place in proper order.-E T.. Farmer.

Dry ground should always be selected for all
orchard. The ground sIfOald he plowed at least
one foot deep. The holes should bs Ding consit-
erably larger than the extent of the-reots0 Of the
trees to be planted, and not less than eighteen
inches deep; cut off all brbken roots, and smooth
witha sharp knife the ends of those that are
mutilated by the spade in digging. If the tree
is of any size be and cut of at least three
fOurths of the top DIETER have tree grow thrift
ty the first season than live, il is termed, head
backC; then place the same side to the sun as
when in the nursery; it is readily distinguished,
as the south side is of a reddish brown color and
the north of dark green. When transplanting
the tree, extend the roots ont TO their natural
position, and never set q tree deeper in the earth
than il was before transplanting. Then fill up
the hole with earth taken from the surface well
pulverized, and be sure that you leave no vacan-
cies about the roots. If the ground he dry, when
yOu get the roots covered, pOnr in half bucket
of water; and, when il settles away, fill MP the
hole. Be careful not to tread the earth down too
frm Then mulch-that IL, place coarse manure
straw one or two inches deep on the ground
about the trees. Mulching is Indispensable in
this country, either in setting trees or plants;
and even hedging does better TO be thoroughly
mulched when set.
A young orchard should by all means be cnlti-
waited with hoed crop, and never allow small
grim or grass to be sOwn among them. If you
wish yonr trees to fruit young train the tops to
branch within two or thre feet of the ground.
Keep yOur pruning knife in your pocket, and
stock out of the orchard; it will soon pay You
for your trouble.
