Farm work in FAN and winter.

In the cotton States no sooner is the crop har-
vested, than work is commenced preparatory for
the new crop. But in Ohio and Indiana, MS
ualIy wait until spring before prepare for the
spring crops. Now, there is no period in the
whole year when farm work can proceed SO
profitably as during our fine autumnal weather.
In the raising OF potatoes Tor Instance, Ito which
crop a larger breadth of ground should be de-
voted than beretofOre,) the ground should be
thoroughly prepared in the fall. In doing this
plOw in narrow lands, making deep burrows be-
tween the lands to draw of all surplus water, so
to cause the stirred soil to become dry the LIST
of February early in March, when the potato
crop should be planted. Now, if these raised
lands could be coated with manure and forest
leaves mixed together, it wOuld be a two-fOld
benefit. a. Shelter would be given to the soil
from the bleak winds of winter; and (2.), the
ground would be properly fertiized by such a
dressing. As early as the weather wonld permit,
say about the LIST of March, the ground should
be thoroughly plOwed and Early Rose potatoes
planted If planted thus early, on soil warmed
by drainage and manure, there need be little
fears but the crop will mature 50 early as to es-
cape any serious injury from the potato bugs.
But not only the work on the potato crop, but
the work on the oats aud corn crops could be
greatly forwarded by improving the fair weather
in autumn and winter In our present seasons
which seem so subject to drought, every spring
crop should be got IN at the earliest proper time
possible. And We know that owing to the great
pressure that is upon the farmer during the fine
growing weather of spring, many crops fail to be
got in until late, and that this late planting or
sowing is often the cause of poor turnout when
the crops are harvested.
Indeed, there is much needed winter work
on every farm, such as blowing when the wealth
er will permit, the saving and hauling of man.
1re, the repairing of fences and gates, construct
ing drains, etc, etc, that it would seem the true
policy for farm hands to be hired by the year |
only. The farm teams should always be doing |
work enough to pay for their keeping. But how |
IAN this be done in winter, when the farm hands |
nave been discharged Besides, this turning
lands oh to idle away their time for four or fl we
months, does it not exert most demOraliziny
influence upon themi We wish our readers would

How 20 Whi,rn WooI.n..

A Berlin journal describes a method of produ-
cling what it claims has been proven to he the
most beautiful of all known white coors for
wooden goods For each hundred pounds of wool
are taken three pounds of alum, two pounds OF
snlphnrc acid, one pound of cream of tartar, and
three quarters of an ounce of dry iodine violet.
In this the wool is immersed for hour, at a
temperature of 1O4 degrees, Fab. The iodine
violet used is BLUSH, and the quantity neces-
sary varies, of course, slightly in amount, with
the tone of the desired white. A fresh bath of
three pounds of chlOrade of baTium is made, and
into this the 6lued wool is introduced and left
for two hours, at the temperature above named.
The resnlt is deposit of sulphate of harytes in
the wool, which retained quantity of snlphuric
acid frum the first bath. This has the effect of
giving to the wool most beautiful Wilderness

and also increases its weight eighteen per cent.
