HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Every farmer should have good
w0Udshed, and during the fall it should be
we'll filled with wood. Dry wood stored in
the shed will be much more pleasant and
economical to use during the cold, rainy
and unpleasant weather of winter, than
will that Which has remained Ot1tof doors.
When fence rows are cleaned out do
not throw the trash over the fence into the
road, or into the corners, but burn it, or,
where there are gullies which wash out,
throw the trash into them, and so prevent
any further damage, but never waste or
destroy anything which may be turned
into manure.
Have particular place for every i'm
plement about the premises, and when not
In use, be sure to keep it there. BY so do
ing a great deal Of time, trouble, vexation
and hard feeling will often he saved. Put
everything where you can go directly to
it and place your hand on it in the dark
est night. Don't leave your farm tools
exposed to the weather, or they will soon
rust and rot out, and you will be COM
PEELED to buy new or1es:-Ohio Farmer.
Among the things which every farm
er should have is a we'll stocked orchard
of fruit trees. Whenever tree dies it
should be replaced by another, and by
having trees of different ages, he may be
almost certain of fruit every year: A
liberal supply of apples and peaches
should be planted, together with a few
pear and cherry trees. Small fruits for
family use should not be neglected, and
good care should be taken of all Fruits
are among the most healthful of our
foods, and no farm should be without
them.-Ioacu State Reqsster.
"A neighbor Of ours recently informed
us that he had lost a most valuable horse
by casualty by no means uncommon. A
knowledge OF simple remedy would
have prevented this loss. The horse trod
upon nail which entered his foot.
Lameness followed, the nail was extract
ed, but lockjaw supervened, resulting in
death. An unfailing remedy in such
cases is muriatic acid. If, when mai!
is withdrawn from horses foot, the foot
should be held up and some muriatic
acid be poured into the wound, neither
lameness nor lockjaw need be feared.
Why the iron should have the effect
which it frequently has, and the rationale
| of the above remedy, we are unable to
explain; but of the certainty of the coun-
tcraction Of disease by this perfectly safe
application, we are we'll convinced

Roses intended for forcing in pots
next winter (having been kept in their
pots during summary should be taken out
at this time, the old soil we'll shaken from
the roots, and repotted in the same sized
pots. The soil most suitable for rose
culture is good, fresh loan, mixed with
about third well-decayed COW manure,
which is much superior to horse manure,
or any other kind of animal manure-horse
droppings are apt to create fungi when
used for any purpose under glass
besides, COW manure is cooler, and conse-
quently more suited to the requirements
of the rose. What is termed stiff, mel
low loan is what the rose does best in :;
very loose, open soil does not produce
such fine buds, nor are they so highly
colored as when grown in the stiff soil
When potting, firm the soil well around
the roots, and leave no empty space
around the edges Of the pot. Prune the
plants we'll back when they are taken out
of the pots; it is not only much more con-
venient doing it at this time, but they gen
orally make finer breaks that when left
until later.-Gurdners' Monthly.
