Economy with the corn crop means
that the fodder should be stored under
cover and not left standing in the fields,
as is often practiced. Good fodder is
valuable and highly relished by all classes
Of stock, but it can be injured by expos
ure as easily as hay. No matter how
much care is taken the shocks will pillow
over in winter, by which means a large
share of fodder is ruined by being on the
ground. If cattle are turned in on it
they Will trample a portion also. The
The barn is the proper place for it.
If the ground is damp a one horse plow
should be u through the spaces between
the strawberry rows in order to allow the
surplus water to run off in winter.
Strawberries are partial to somewhat
damp locations, but in the winter and
carly apring, when heavy rains cause the
water TO stand on the plants, it is in
furious. The frost will also heave up thc
plants if the ground is too wet.
Ladies should make preparations for
taking in the flower plants for the winter
window garden. Frost may put in an
appearance at any time this season, and
the location for the plants should be made
and the supply of pots procured. Slips
can be made now with better advantage
than later on.
While the work can be done before the
grcYnl freezes, a large supply Of dry dirt
should be slowed for winter use. 1t is an
excellent absorbent and deod0rizer and is
cheap. On the stable floors. IN the pig
pens and on damp places occupied by
stock. il answers in place Of more cxpcn-
sivc materials.
Quite a saving Of unstable fruit may
be made by converting It into jcllies Or
pressing it. Not only can vinegar be
made from cider, but also from the Juice
of other fruits. That which cannot be
used in some manner for household pur-
poses may be fed TO the hogs. Waste Of
fruit should be avoided.
Weeds are maturing the seeds rapidly
now. and a delay Of few days may re-
suit in the seed being perfected and in a
condition for termination next season.
Many weeds are now in the milky
stage, and can be easily destroyed. If
cut down now it will be too late for a
new crop before frost.
Parsnips and carrots are not injured if
stored outside in mounds, and in sections
where the winters are not severe they
may be left in the rows, with only a
sight covering. The proper way tn store
them, however, is in a cellar, in bins, so
as to easily handle them when they are
wanted for feeding.
In storing apples free circulation of air
through the barrel will be of advantage.
The fruit should be kept in a cool place,
but should be beyond the reach Of frost.
Only sound apples should be used, as the
slightest touch Of decay on a single apple
will sometimes cause the whole to rot.

season when the work of winter must be
done before severe weather approaches.
Fall work is often done too hurricdly,
the consequence being that many things
are neglected that should receive careful
attention. Certain kinds OF work are
postponed until winter, but work that can

until later, as il may never be reached.
