HERE AND THERE.

The fruit that is to be kept through
the winter should be put away careful
ly, and then carefully watched all
through the winter that the decayed
ones may be removed.
Calves do not nay, say the dairymen,
yet somebody raises the cows that the
dairymen buy, and it is possible that
some one must make the calves pay, or
there would soon be no COWS.
AS soon as fall work is over the tools
should be thoroughly cleaned and well
Amounted with kerosene oil, which will
protect them from rust. Never keep
tools in damp place.
1.-The Farm Journal says that a we'll
raised pig of from $50 to $50 pounds,
dressed at eight or nine months old, is
the best eating that can grow in that
sort of hide, and that the days of heavy
pigs are numbered.
Manure may fail to give good re-
suits the first year and show well next.
Much depends on the condition of the
material. Il can not afford food to
plants until it decomposes and it's solu-
BILE material can be appropriated.
If you have nice thoroughbred
calf and turn it out to hump itself in
the corner of the fence, in the storms

whether it is betten 10 have CONS ''come
in every year, or to have them bred
once in two years, the Rural New

To get good beds of flowers next
spring prepare the beds now. Spade
them up, sprinkle lime and ashes on
the earth, rake it over and then cover
we'll with manure, allowing the manure
to remain on the surface to be turned
under in the spring.
Tho sheep will find quito an amount
of forage on the stubble fields which
other animals will not touch at this
season, but because the sheep is willing
to eat what it can find in that manner
should not deprive it from receiving reg.
ular rations at the barn-yard.
"A good dressing of manure AROUND
each raspberry plant at this season vii
cause the canes to grow rapidly in thu
spring Only few raspberry bushes arr
required in order to supply small
family and the richer the ground ant
more manure used the larger and bette
the quality of the berries.
Every farm should have few crap
vines. They serve as arbors of shade
and can be grown where they will no
take up much space. All poultry yard
will be improved if grape vines ar
grown along the fences, and the fowl
will find shade under the overhangin,

Farmers muttons may and shoul,
be the best in the world, says the Orang
County Farmer. As soon as the sheep
head is cut off hang up the carcass a
once, slit small hole high up betweer
the hind legs, insert funnel and pou

Cabbage stalks should be left in tn
ground when the heads are wanted fo
use, as they viii throw up sprouts an
give good yield of greens. In som
sections the stalks latter the heads hav
been cut Off are repianted close togethC
and covered with litter, with cornstalk

litter is removed and the stalks made |
