Iotatoes on many farms are sill! IN the
ground. Make an effort TO get them a
once. Nothing is to be gained by delas
The days are getting shorter and the
weather colder and more uncertain.
Cora Rusking should be pushed vigor
ously forward When corn is cheap we
can often get it husked ION shares more
economically than any other way. On oui
own farm we pay FIVE cents for husking
bushel of ears If the corn is poor, six
cents.
Poor. Sat Corn will scarcely pay fo'
husking. fit is dry enough to keep in
stack or barn, better stow 1t away
stalks and all Cor feeding out in winter.
In this case il is best to bind the corn in
to sheayes OF CONVENIENT size to pitch and
unload
Seed Corn, if not already selected.
should be secured at once. Good sound
corn will be scarce in>many sections next
spring. 1t is best preserved by hanging
it up in traces.
Corn .StalkS should be drawn in as
early as possible after the corn is husked
Let them be entirely free from external
moisture.
Root Crops should be gathered and
slowed away for winter use. Mangels
and other beets should be first harvested,
as they are most liable to injury from
frost.
Parsaii7s may be left in the ground all
winter without injury.
Fail Pio,1ing should be continued IN
til stopped by frost.
Wheat NAV still be top-dressed with
manure Many farmers have found
benefit from spreading straw on the eX-
posed parts of their wheat fe Ids.
HafTo,oing Wheat to Kill weeds is well
worth trying. 1t should be done when
the ground is dry aud on sunny days. 1t
own case it did not kill all the VS. eds, it
certainly destroys a good many of them.
Surface ORA image should he attended
to before the ground freezes.
Entertaining an IFinter can be done
very economically, but it is necessary 20
prepare for it beforehand
Weeds and 9th. p Rubbish on the sides
of stone walls and bitches can sometimes
be burnt 10 great advantage during dry
weather in Novemher
The Rushes and Coarse Grass on
swamp land may be burned during {.
high wind. We have greatly improved
the quality of the grass On such laud Is
this treatment. Commence the work in
the morning SO that the fire viii be all
out before you leave it for the night. Il
is we'll to burn the grass near the fence
before setting fire &c the main body
Have bunch or two of willows WITH
which to beat out the fire if there is dc :
ger of the fences being burnt.
Stones can be drawn to advanvaDtap r
in winter; but it i necessary to o zen
-Leln now and place stone uDdcr them
to prevent them freezing fast 10 tie
earth.
Buildings should be examined and put
in repair for winter 1t is coed til, e
to paint them.
Implements and Machines that will not
be wanted until spring should be washed
with petroleum aud slowed away for the
winter. Petroleum will preserve the
wood and keep the iron from rusting.
Manure should be drawn together in a
snug pile, and not be left scattered about
the yards. 1t will commence to ferment
and keep on fermenting moderately al
winter.
Potato Tops should be drawn to The
yards, where they will be useful as ar
absorbent and make manure.
Leares and Mach; may be gathered fol
bedding and manure. Stow them away
under cover where they can be easily OBJ
tanned as required.
Fences should be examined and re
paired. i nail in time saves nine.
Cellars should be thoroughly cleaned
See that the windows lit snug and tina
they can be easily opened and shut
Bank up for wiuter if necessary. Put q
few vegetables in the cellar as possible
aud see that you have the means tor per
feet ventilation.
Dry Earth Is capital disinfectant
Put a lead or two of earth in barrels o
In one corner of he cellar where it ca
be obtained as wanted in the winter
Should your cellar be damp in the sprin
this dry earth will be useful to scatter o
the deor.
Hood for winter should have been en-
aud piled months ago; but if you hav
neglected go to the woods with axe an
cross cut saw and get supply OF th
best and drycst down-wood or dead tree
you can find. Split it and put IN pie
to dry. Make the piles where it viii b
convenient to get at them either new c
In winter
Saaodast, where straw is scarce, shout
be secured for bedding
C7orer- Seed cut and lying in hears
the field is 10, Injured by frost; bu, it
well To lose no time in getting it int |
barn. Thrash it during frosty weathe
Hay Stacks, if you have no room
the barns, aud unless they are we'll thi;
ched, should be drawn in. If any part
damaged scatter some salt on It and put
separate from the rest.
AainsGts need special care this mont
owing 70 the great changes in the we
ther. They need plenty of good foo
