more generous supply of hcat-produc-

For such simple aud perfect mode is
to bury them in in q dry place out OF

cembcr comes. they fatten rapidly. All
stock shauld be put in good order for
winter. Soft corn, nubbins, grown
grains, green pumpkins, and such
fruits as are liable to decay, ought to
be fed out to the cattle in order to get
them in good condition before cold
weather comes on. Beeves. should
have full feeds of scalded corn meal,
and oil cake on cornstalks on corn
fodder or chopped hay. Sheep should
have their allowance Of grain increas-
ed, especially those that are fattening,
though SO long as pasturage is fair
they should be kept upon il. Swine
should have the smell potatoes, boiled
and mixed with meal; all their food
ought to be cooked. Oil cake is an
excellent and economical feed used
with other things, SO is beef, or even
pork scraps. Mix finely powdered
charcoal and little wood ashes occa-

they do not get to the soil; their
growth and fa,tening are much pro-

1t is poor economy; in fact it is no

the farmer will take when the cold

Tho Cause OF Many Failures.


There is one quality which is need.
ed in all successful farming. aud that
Is stability. We have many enterpr's'
ing end energetic farmers who lack
this quality. Feeling discouraged by
low prices, or failure of certain
crops, they change TO something which
they think will pay better. Perhan,
sheep lusbandry will illustrate this
mater better than any other occupa-
ton. As soon as wool declined in
price, farmers sold OF their flccks al
what they could get. aud tuned theiv
attention TO something else. In four
or six years wool advances in price,
sheep are then in demand, and not an-
frequently they rcrurchase the sheep
ct high price. As they were never
ready to sell when prices were high.
but only when discoura cement over
took them, they make no money. The
eamc may be said Of other general
crops. One thing is certain, TO make
money in the long run is to be steady.
