might be made to afford as ample
protection from the weather as the
most expensive structure. If proper
care had been exercised in this direc-
ton in the past by the farmers of
Franklin county, tens of thousands
of dollars would have been saved
and the currency thus retained IN
our midst, instead OF going to enrich
foreign manufacturers, would have
aided much in warding off the hard
times of which all arc now complain
ing. No better time for inaugural
ing reform in this matter can be
found than just now, and we hope
that the experience of the past will
be sufficient to induce farmers gen.

pleasant weather yet remaining be-
fore the coming winter, in protecting
their farm machinery from deterlora.

Prepare for Winter.

With farmers this has been an un.
usual year for pleasure-seeking, Cen
Commissioning and family reunions
But nearly all have now returned to
their farms, and busy fall is before
them. This and the next month are
equally as busy ones as as any OF the
year. Potatoes and root crops are to
be secured before harder trosts. APP
pies, of which there is a large crop,
but for which there is ample demand,
require immediate attention. Those
intended for market should be pack.
ed honestly. The prevalent practice
of filling a barrel nearly full of poor
knotty apples, and finishing up with
choice fruit, and thus practice an at
tempted fraud on purchasers, should
never be tolerated by an honest man.
Besides it is no longer success, as
it has been practised SO frequently
that purchasers demand seeing both
ends of the. barrel. Threshing is to
be finished, and the straw carefully
stacked. Most of it will be needed
before next June. Owing to visiting
much fall blowing is yet to be done.
If neglected, it will be the cause OF
soft corn, which is the complaint OF
millions of bushels this year. I'M
prove every hour. Have everything
done ready for the time when corn
harvest arrives, Then put through
this pleasant work when the weather
is good. Many noble farmer boy
has become disguised with the farm
by gathering corn on our bleak prai,
ries with cold hands and feet in
snow and zero atmosphere. Let no
ldleness nor bad management bring
on this state of affairs this fall. Look
after the interest Of stock. Neglect
and poor feed while corn gathering
is poor way to introduce stock to
to the perils of winter. Good and
ample food of the best kind for cat
tie in October and November is good
economy. One bushel of corn will
make more pork this month than
three bushels in December and jan
uary. Cattle and hogs are our CAPT
tai and our reliance, ard they should
command our kindest care and most
liberal rations. There is seldom
time to haul out manure in the spring
See that it is all out before it is froz-
en- ND for the winter. The house
and barn should be repaired, if need
ed, before too cold to do such things.
In the house it is economy in fuel,
and in the barn warm quarters sup
ply the place of much food. Those
able to employ hands at profitable
work, should study how many they
can thus aid. And in selecting
hands, employ first, those among
you who have families; next hire
those who are located in the neigh
horhood, and are known for their
honesty and fidelity. There is evil
IDENTIFY great responsibility on us
in giving employment to the idle
the approaching winter. There are
many things that will pay if rightly
managed. Let every farmer look
about himself wisdom, and prepare
in all things for the winter.-.State

ECoNoMY.-Farmers as well as
many others, are complaining of the
stringency in money matters, and
now is a good time to practice econ
omy. One of the most wasteful hab-
it's prevailing among western farmers
as a class is that of allowing farming
machinery to lie ont of doors when
not in use, exposed to the weather
the entire year. They will them
selves admit that the injury to har-
vester, for example, during the two
or three weeks when it is in active
service is much less than the injury
by the action of the elements during
the remaining part of the year, and
yet they will allow their machinery
to remain just where they happen to
finish work with it until they are
ready to use it the next season; or it
may be that it is drawn to the barn
yard and left where it is equally ex-
posed to the damaging effects of the
elements. A very few years of such
misuse of implements will unfit them
for service and then new machinery
is bought and new obligations are
assumed for payment. Would it not
be the part Of wisdom to protect
farming implements and thus more
than double the period of their effec-
tive service? Even straw shed,
costing nothing but a little labor,

Orchard Planting.

February and March are good
months in which to set out fruit and
other trees, when the ground is not
frozen. The holes should be dug in
the autumn or winter, so that the
ground may be heaved: crumbled
and mellowed by repeated freezing
and thawing. They should be made
large. The writer has generally had
the holes dug five feet square and
eighteen inches deep, and before set
ting the trees shoveled in surface soil
so as to fill them abouttwelve inches.
The trees, instead of being grubbed
up with little root, as many do,should
be taken up with as much root as
you can get. Do not spare labor in
this. The additional growth of trees,
and the earlier bearing, will amply
reimburse the additional EXPENSE
The small rootlets should not be per-
mitted to dry nor to freeze. When
setting the trees, be sure the holes
are amply large to accommodate the
roots to their natural positions, with
out any cramping or bending. Then
throw some water on the roots, scat
ter fine earth of the soil on them,
shake the tree up and down slightly,
to settle the earth we'll among them,
repeatedly, then throw on more earth
and tread it down. Then wet the
earth, secure the tree to a stake if it
be deemed necessary, to prevent the
wind from affecting its vertical posi-
ton, and the tree will grow WE'LL
The writer has, from boyhood, been
accustomed to set trees in the man
ner indicated, and rarely has he had
one fail to live and grow well. Fruit
trees set as above in broad holes,
with little curtailment Of the natural
roots, Will come into bearing some
years sooner in stiff soils, than when
set, as they often are, in small holes
with little root. The earth should
not be dished around the tree SO as
to permit waterto accumulate around
ltnW super-saturate the earth beneath.

The Commodore's Heirs.

From the Utica IN. ~ Herald,
William. H. Vanderbilt was IS the
9Th of last May. He was bred far
mer on Staten Island, and married
the daughter of Dominic Nissan,
Reformed Dutch preacher, who Ia
bored at Cedar Hill near Albany
This union took place early enough
to give the happy couple family of
eight children, some of whom are
married. William remained farm
ing on Staten Island for tw enty years.
His love Of horses was here amply
gratitied, and he became interested
in the Richmondville trotting track,
which was the extent of his notorle-
ty. He seemed contented with his
home on Staten Island; But when
the Commodore got control of the
Hudson River road he needed all
the trustworthy talent that was avail
able, and William was summoned
from the, farm to take the Vice-Pres-
idency.
The oldest boys bore severally the
name of their grandfathers, the first
being a Cornelius and the second
VIM. Nissan. There is an older
Cornelius (William's brother.) This
makes three Cornelius Vanderbilts
now living,the youngest being Treas
urer of the Central Hudson, an office
worth $4,000 a year. Although
only thirty-two, he is in handsome
circumstances. A few years ago he
met his grandfather on New Years
day, and the former said, in reply to
the usual greeting: "Cornelius, you
have been a good boy-here is
present for you" As he said this he
placed in his hand a check for $780,
900.
The next son (William) is twenty
six, and has for several years served
as private Secretary to his father, an
office worth $4,000 year. William
thus has his sons in close intimacy
with him in the grand business of
llfe-the administration Of the rail-
way empire. Two of his daughters
are married, one being the wife of
the noted carpet dealer, Sloan, whose
warehouse is one of the features of
Broadway. Tho other married Col.
Shepherd. William still retains his
Staten Island farm, and likes to look
at the place where he passed his
humbliest and happiest hours. 1t is
a meadow of 100 acres, and has
row OF cherry trees mile in length.
He was brought up (by his mother at
least) to attend the Reform Dutch
Church, but OF late years has become
an Episcopalian and pays $500 ayear
for pew in a fashionable church.

For the production of superior but
ter, the Jersey COW is justly regarded
as the best of all known breeds in
the world. Her milk is exceedingly
rich and creamy, and is entirely free
from casein or the curd from which
cheese is made. Hence the Jerseys
are long and steady mixers and arc
not liable, as are Ayrshires, to have
their udders spoiled by the deposit
therein of hard cheese or casein.
