.rREt1RE FOB WINTER.

IT, calendar and the cool nights,
a,ys 10 Western Farm Journal, point
10 approaching cold weather; and
whatever leisure time occurs between
now and corn gathering time, should
be male available in preparing for
winter. Nhateve r Of threshing is yet
II rs done, should be located with a
view 10 furnishing shelter for stock as
are rorcel to remain out during the
winter. The shelter OF Of timber, and
the shelter of the straw rick combined
are Of inestimabln value, and the two
should be combined, if there IL tim
Der, natural or artificial, upon the
iNrn.
Where the stock is not numerous,
he plan of building strong Frame
work of crutches and poles, adequate
10 sustaining a portion of the straw
rick, thus afFording shelter for the
cattle beneath, is a most excellent
one, AMI affords the. cheapest really
God shelter that can be devised.
Now is an excellent time to cut
coarse slough grass for covering, and
no man who has stock to winte., and
has no stabling already en- bis farm,
can excuse himself on the score Of IN
ability to build stable room because it
is mainly a question Of labor, and not
hard labor-nor is a large amount OF
this required. In the absence OF q
permanent building for the shelter of
horses and cattle, and the storage Of
hay and other feed, the usual upright
posts, eight feet above the ground, set
firmly, enclosed with rough lumber
l.pned or battened, the whole COW
cred with slough grass, sPreao upon
rafters and cross ribs suitably placed,
will afford stable room, with proper
fixtures i:.side, we'll adapted to hors-
g or cattle, or both, and SO cheaply
made rs to furnish no excuse to any
one for allowing his farm beasts to
rass the winter nights without protec-
ton. 1t may reasonably be expected
that the coming winter will be none
other than a cold one, and while
dry cold winter is preferable in some
respects to sach an open winter as
the asst, still, excessive cold keeps the
system upon The strain, and it Is IN
Gnately cheaper, and more humane,
10 save animal heat through the
means of warm shelter, than to furn-
ish this from the crib.

LINE AND SALT.-Trof. Johnson
recommends for fertilizing purposes,
to mix ore bushel salt and two Of dry
lime under cover; allow the mixture
to decompose alually, thus forming
chemical uE:oa. For this purpose the
mixture should be made six weeks be-
fore use, or still better, two or three
months, Che hesa being turned over
occasionally. EAis salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty or thirty bushels per acre,
forms an excellent top dressing for
many crops. 1T acts powerfully on
the vegetable matter Of soils; fifty
six bushels applied to turnips have
produced as large crop as baru-yard
manure. 1t is destructive to grubs
and insects in the soil. Like salt it
attracts moisture from the air, and is
useful against dronth. Its decompos.
ing power is remark able, and if three
or four bushels Of it are mixed with a
load of muci, the latter will be thus
thoroughly powdered.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING
This is tue season Of the year when
farmers and others frequently have
corn OF the new crop ground into
meal, at the mills, but often it is so
damp as to give the millers trouble to
grind it, even very imperfectly; nor
can the meal be we'll preserved when
ground from such corn, and at least
in that state it is not worth much
There is a perfect remedy for TITS
difficulty, and why modest the miller
to grind a small quantity Of undrled
corn, as is frequently the case. Corn
in the ear dries but slowly, but let it
be shellod, and spread thin, not more
than one half inch thickness on a
floor or some such surface, and how
ever green in few days it will be en-
tirely dry, and can be ground as we'll
as old corn.
Some time ago we named this
method of drying corn to an aged cit
izen of Mechanicstown, who is so we'll
pleased with the result of his trial,
that he desires it to be noticed in the
Clarion. True some NAV know all
about this plan, but then many do
not.

PROPOSED TELEGRAPH COMBINATION -
Efforts have been renewed To bring about a
union between the two rival telegra ph COM
pahles. III is suggested at present to limit
the proposed com bination 10 a pooling OF the
receipts, each company to act Independently
in procuring business, extending telegraph
tiEes, sc. A committee of conference was
appointed yesterday by the executive com
mlttees of the two com panieS. and will meet
next Tuesday for the purpose of agree
ing upon a scheme that will be accapta-
BILE to the directors of both compa,iies
The committee consists of VIM. II. Wander
bilt, Edwin ID. Morgan aud Augustus Schell,
representing the Western Union, and Sidney
Dillon, q. q. sampson and Russell sage,
representing the A tlantic and Pacific COM
paDy. Repeated efforts have been made
heretofore TO effect a union or harmonious
working of the companies, but without sue
cess, and no one could be found last eve
ming who was willing to assert that the ne "
attempt would result any more satisfac-
torily, although several of the directors
expressed q hope that the present effort
would prove successful. One of the results
OF the pooling scheme, ii was stated, would
be TO reduce materially the number of offices
In the large cities where frequently both
companies are represented in the same
building-and in this way TO lessen the ex-
penses. The business of the Atlantic and
Pacific Company at present, ii was urther
stated, amounts TO One-ffth of the whole te1e-
graphic business OF the country-[N Y. Tri-
