ROOTS THAT HAVE; SJc BEEN HARVESTED,

weather Is mild. Late turn'ps Will make
considerable growth now, during the cool
weather. y soon as one or two sharp iros,s
have occurred, Ihs-e late crops NAV be taken
up; but tais l. not likely u happen. unless
in Tar northern localities, ualii the end of
the month.
ROOTS THAT HAVE BEEN GATHERED,
Shoald made secure in the pits before the

there Ii ample ventilation from the bottom
To The top OF the heaps. Three-cornered
sp'uI>, with a nuLaber of holes bored in
each 70 admit air, may be put every or
10 icrI apart in long pit, or one for each
small pit Ih,-sr will carry off the heated
air which arises in all newly made pits OF
any sor, OF roots, winch would cause rot

TAKE CARE OF THE FODDER.
When corn is husked the fodder should
always be carefully set up, If IL Is not thor
oughly cured We some time ago referred
in these hints to the manner of setting up
shocks, and the number of hills in each \
couple of considerate Western correspond
euts kindly wished TO inform us in regard
to the number of hills put into shock,
stating the number TO be from li4 to 256.
We were well aware of this, but were speak
ing ol the manner Of putting up shocks to
stay put up, add 10 save the fodder in the
best way, and not merely 10 be heaped to-
gether Tor harvesting the corn Moderate
sized shocks will cure better than very
large on,s. and 81 or ~ hills make a shock
lIrge enough To lad. House or stack the
stalks is soon as dry enough To be safe from
mildew. While driving in the field, four or
more corn stalks may be put into the fodder
shock.
WINTER RATIoNs FOR WORK HOSE
may now be given safely. Our practice IL
mix hall Il bushel OF cut hay or fodder,
with three pounds OF feed of oats, corn, and
bran ground together, Tor one feed ior one
horse. The cut hay is thoroughly wetted
IN box; the meal is scattered over it:
handful of salt for each horse j. added. and
the whole Is well mixed with the shovel. Ii
Is then divided equally, \ similar custom
prevail, IN large stables, where hundreds of
animals are kept; tor econonomy and good
results IN every way, II can hardly be sur
passed.
LIGHTS IN THE BARN
should be carefully used, Nine-tenths of
the hre which occur, are caused by care
lessness. Never light lamp in the barn.
