DECEMBER 3lsT, A. D. 1877.
Oh! wind, wild wind of December,
What art thou bearing away
Many fair things we'd remember.
And many golden day?
Yes, the gloomy as well as the bright hours
Thou art waiting away on thy wing,
As memory gathers the heart flowers,
When the old-time bells doth ring.
ALI that long year has garnered,
From Spring to the scarlet Fall,
Thou wilt bear away in the deep gloom,
At the midnight's solemn call.
When the bell from the convent tower
Shall awake the glad New Year,
The Old thou shalt bear far away,
Oh wind-on thy mournfnl bier!

when mown it will take less time to make
hay of it than will be required if it is tull OF
water. Clover needs longer drying than
sedge grass or even red top. In good wea-
ther grass dries faster than it can if the sun
is frequently clouded. If there is a large
quantity of grass it will dry more slowly
than it will if very thin. The farmer must
when it is fully cured.
4. Foreign moisture dries out Of grass
more slowly than it's natural juices, and is
far more injurious to the hay. When grass
which is partly dried is exposed to rain,
great deal of care should be used to get all
the water out before the hay is carted to the
barn. / would rather have a good deal OF
the natural moisture left in grass than a
very little rain water.
5. Frequent stirring will make grass dry
rapidly. Hence the great value of the ted
der. BY golng1over grass three times, on
good day, with one of these implements, it
can be dried as much as in two days if turn
ed only once by hand.
6. When begin haying I NOW the grass
one day and get it in the next. Now in the
morning, turn after dinner with tedder,
rake before much dew falls at night, and it
cloudy put it into cocks. Open it the next
morning. turn before dinner with tedder or
by hand according as horse power or man
power is most convenienD and cart directly
after dinner Later in the season, when the
grass is ripper, / NOW in the morning, go
over it with tedder before dinner, after dim
ner twice, and towards night cart the hay
to the barn. This is the fair weather sys-
tenn. If the days are cloudy, or there are
many trees which shade the grass, or there
comes up a shower, the course Is modified
to suit the circumstances. do not like to
have grass out very long, as consider rap
id drying much the best for the hay, but
never mean to get it in until it is well cured

HINTS

Oats may be cut while the top of the straw
is somewhat green Else it should be cut
early in the morning, left on the ground all
day, and raked and bound late in the after
noon. This avoids shelling.
See that your horses are kept clean and
well curred. Itis advisable to wash their
legs, and the stables should be frequently
cleaned to keep down the troublesome flies.
When working in the fields it will ease them
much from the flies to sponge the legs and
tanks with weak tea made Of walnut
leaves. Give your horses grain, as grass
alone will not support work animal.
Ifyour pasture is short and dry, give the
milk COWS some extra feed, if you expect a
good yield of milk and butter. Corn, oats
and bran, in equal quantities, ground, make
an excellent food tor COWS or horses.
Let your hogs have all the grass they can
eat, such fruit and vegetables as can be spar
ed, and little grain once or twice a day.
Sows nursing pigs should have slops or
swill, and tlle pigs be given all the extra
milk and dairy slops, thickened with little
meal, in a trough to themselves.
Keep the beets, mangolds, carrots, and
ruta baga crops growing by often stirring
the ground with the hoe or cultiyator. Let
no grass or weeds grow or be seen in the
root patch. Thinning root crops should be
vigorously performed. Every surplus seed
should be treated as weeds, which in reality
it is.-Er.

THE CARE OF FARM WAGONS AND I'M.
pI.EMENITc
PLEMENTs.

The wear and tear of farm machinery and
implements amount to a heavy annual tax
on the farmer. It will pay him to study
economy in taking care of them. Some far
mers will use up a good wagon in two or
three seasons, while we know OF wagons
still good which have been in constant use
ON the farm for over thirty years They
were well made out Of good, Well-seasoned
material, and then were we'll painted. No
general repairs have been necessary, for as
soon as bolt was broken it was replaced,
or If burr became loose it was frightened.
It is the running of wagons and machinery
when they are out OF order that destroys
them. The wheels and axles are important
parts of the wagon. The loss from the fail
ure to keep them well creased amounts to a
large sum in the aggregate. And with light
wagons, neglecting to put leather washers
on the arms to make the wheels run steady,
subjects them to unusual strain and permits
them to wear rapidly. Paint is a far more
important preserver Of wagons than of
buildings. We have had long-continued
wet weather followed by a dry, hot spell.
Loose tires and rattling spokes are heard OH
every hand. A day s use of wagon in this
condition is more hurtful than a months
! work when it is put in good working order.
| Some farmers are natural machinists and
seem to keep stheir implements in order
with little trouble and small expense, while
others are always doing imperfect work and
destroying their machinery by useing it
when it is needing repairs. The great fault
with most OF our moving machines is that
they are not used with sufficient care. They
work well when new but soon get out of or
der. A burr works loose at a vital point
