Tender Flowers Have Retired for the Sea-

III there is any time OF tho year when we
can draw n long breath and feel a little at

Park yesterday :" it is this. our summer work
Is over. and the preparations for winter are
pretty much all made. Early fall is n busy
season with us, for then every plant that is
tender has to be taken up and stored IN the

about the middle OF October: but the begin
ming time is governed. OF course by the state
OF the weather.

small part Of our fall work. We have n few

well cared for. 1t ia common notion among

rortant meeting of the Millers' Nation-
al association.
In addition to his milling interest, the

SELLING EGGS BY WEIGHT.

some of the Advantages and Disadvan.
tages of the Proposed system.
The question of changing the mode OF
selling eggs has oftentimes been freely
discussed. Many argue in favor of selling
by weight rather than by the dozen.
But Old-established customs are very
hard to change. There are reasons in
favor Of the present usage, and also in
favor Of the change. To the strong ar
gument that eggs differ much in weight,
it may be answered that when they are
sold by the dozen it is to those who have
their eyes open, and who therefore need
not pay prices which they consider too
dear for eggs Of a certain quality. To
this it may be answered that very many
eggs are continually changing hands
which are not seen at all, the parties
who suffer being the consumers. AS
things are, says a writer in Household
Companion, it would certainly pay the
producer better to keep some variety of
fowl which lays large quantity of
eggs, instead of large sized, when they
are to be sold irrespective Of size

Plan in Advance.

There are many dairymen who make
the serious mistake OF not providing
roperly for feeding in the autumn. Con-
sequently, when the grass Is gone and
the unfavorable weather sets in, their
cows begin to shrink rapidly in their
milk. Often the flow Is reduced to a
point where it does not pay to continue
milking them, and they are permitted
to grow dry when, with proper feeding,
there would be several months of pro-
fitable work yet before them. Besides
this, the price Of dairy products begins
to come up at this time, and cows that
are kept in milk pay well fro the extra
trouble and expense of feeding. Some
succulent food is needed at this time,
to take the place Of the grass to which
they have been accustomed all summer,
as a sudden change to dry feed will
lessen the flow of milk, however liberal
the ration may be. Roots answer a
good purpose at this time, as will also
cabbage, green-corn fodder, ensilage, etc.
1t is not difficult to prepare for autumn
feeding, but it demands little fore
thought 1t is one of those cases, so
frequently occurring on the farm, where
serious loss is occasioned by the neg
lect to plan in advance.
