GumntiOn on the Farm.

Gather and burn the rubbish.
One forward look is worth forty
backward glances. Gs a-4 tas.
How some folks do enjoy rolling
up their sleeves, and then-bossing
the job that somebody else does.
Gather pumpkins and squash be-
fore a hard frost, and store away in
a dry place (not in a damp CELLAR.
Bring in the corn horse after you
are through with Ii. Even a wooden
horse will show the effects If stabbed
out in the field few months.
Do not leave the old cabbage
stumps sticking up. out OF the ground.
They look slovenly and breed fun
gous pests. Pull them up and burn
them.
When killed by the frost, NOW off
the asparagus tops and burn them.
Then give the bed-and the rhubarb
plants, too-a thick winter oVercoat
of stable manure.
The cultivating season is over and
all tools should be cleaned up and
housed. One winters exposure to
weather will do tools more harm
than several years use.

Just because an ear of cornis large,
does not make it the best for seed.
See that the rows are straight from

Build the line fence strong enough
to keep your own and your neigh
bors' stock on the right side, but do
not have it SO high that it will prevent
you from being neighborly.
We never like to put potatoes in
the cellar when they are at all wet.
In bad, catchy weather it Is better to
store them in an clubhouse till they
are thoroughly dried off. They will
keep much better, then.
Hurrying wheat to market has a
tendency to keep prices down. The
wise farmer who holds on to his
grain will be likely TO realize sever

ryingup brethren are likely to obtain.
About this time of the year things
get pretty hot in the political pot.
Let 'em sizzle! You just keep cool!
If you talk politics with your neigh

yelling never convinced anybody.
Soon the hunters Will be out from
town, tramping over your fields and

friends and disturbing IL not injur-

neighborly, but the birds served you
faithfully through the year by de-
stroying millions of bugs and in
sects, and it is your duty to protect
them now. DO 1t.
Keeping cabbages: Select a dry
place in the patch, pull up the cab
bages and stand closely together,
heads down. Cover with soil from
five to ten inches, thinly at first SO
they will not heat, covering only
enough to prevent freezing as the
