THOSE FENCE CORNERS Somebody rea-
sonably says that fence corners, with their
mass of brush and weeds, afford secure
retreat for such troublesome insects as live
through the winter, and for the deposit OF
eggs Of others ready to hatch out in early
Spring, the larv;e prepared to engage III
depredations upon the first plants that APP
pear. Cutting out and burning the rub
bish is the best plan, rs fire put an end TO
most Of these, and thus the destroying e!e-
ment lessons the labor and saves the crops
of the farm. All which is true and timely.
FALL CARE OF SToCK.-In the fall OF the
year there is more danger of stock being
neglected than most farmers think. The
transition from the warm nights to the
cool, and from the succulent grasses of
the warmer months TO the fall heritage,
has quite an effect on the condition Of
stock. III permanent pastures the grass
is dried up and gone and only on second
growth clover and grassy stubble fields
can any kind of proper food be obtained.
Hence between the autumn grass and the
commencement of winter or stall feeding,
stock are liable to suffer from u too Scant
diet. When this is the case, stock COM
mence in the face of a hard winter III poor
heart, and they consequently never gain
up and there is Il consequent loss. We
are fully Of the opinion that the neglect of
proper management of stock in the fall is
of more importance than any other season
of the year. When the pastures are get
ting bare every farmer should have ro-
tationof soiling, and when the cold nights
come, especially in the case of milch cows,
they should be pnt in 4 comfortable yard
or stable, and not allowed to rest on the
cold, damp grass. This has baneful cf-
feet, and causes more harm than anything
else. Besides putting stock in comforta-
BILE quarters, the system requires to be
kept up by liberal feeding, and here is
where the soiling system would como into
effect. If farmers have not got sufficient
accommodations in the stables for all their
stock, let them have Il sheltered yard or
shed, and bed it literally, so that the ami
mails may be dry ut nights. Thus not only
are they being made comfortable, but they
are carly commencing the work OF manure
making, which is so essential TO all our
farms. Put the cows in the stable or yard
OH cold nights, and give them good feed
Of late sOwn corn, rye or vctchcs 1T night
when you take them in; another feed in
the morning. Every farmer can have a
few acres of this green fodder, and We
guarantee to say that one acre of this will
make greater return in feed for stock
than five acres in pasture, and five acres
in sOiling-fced on 100 acres would keep all
the stock required on that quantity of land
for the fall months, better than twenty
five acres Of pasture. OF course there
would be little more " ork for the men,
but it would be amply repaid by the extra
manure SO much needed, anG the consc-
qucnt increase OF milk and beCf.-FdrmerS'
