Englishman who was serving in the royal

leaders in honor of a recent victory over
the "blues" (repubican soldiers.) On
entering the ball room he was struck with
the appearance of handsome Young
Vendean officer near the door, to whom
he begged to be presented This was

We have learned this much in poultry

We still have to hand husk corn, it
seems. This looks strange in view OF the
improvements made in other departments
Of farm work: take general harvesting,
for instance.
Ordinarily some time must pass until
new corn is dry enough to grind. To
start in on a small scale, some may be
suspended by husks left on purposely. or
else in coarse bags. near the ceiling of a
drv room, where there is fire, and in a
few DAYS it will answer for the mill.
The season at such time when the
frosts affect the grass unfavorably for
feed, is trying one tor cattle unless fod-
dering in addition to pasture is practiced.
Without this cattle are apt to fall away
rapidly, and NAV meet a condition not fit

eases NAV be contracted. The wise course
is to be on the alert with careful. system

of the case.
Lock the Poultry House.-A ton or more
of fattening poultry is too valuable to leave
unguarded nights now. Where fowls are
at large and in the habit of roosting out
doors, they should be fed at nightfall to
induce them into the house. Doors should
be made secure and fitted with lock and
key-an easy and almost cOstless matter.
Let it be the business of some trusty per-
son to lock the house each night. 1t is so
much better to lock the poultry house or
the barn before something is stolen than
after that the course cannot be too strongly
urged,

those useful and inexpensive things that
ought to be met Oh every farm, but is too
seldom found. When loading such grain

useful to spread oyer load OF grain or

finished stack. over threshing or other ma
chimes. or over bags of grain temporarily
exposed to driving rain. When not in use
in some such ways it may serve to protect
the carriage from dust. In fact, the uses
that good barn cloth may be made to
serve for. are almost innumerable. About
