on the ground, then cross it. 1t stand


up much better than to put the hill toeeth


er, while even the blade is not blown AVA,


It's good time to cut corn. There il !,


greatdealo lof corn spoiled by cutting II whe,

to feed fat cattle, then cut il too green.


If you want to make money BY fsedin,
steers, commence feeding on the iirst O.


October. Let your cattle remain On the
pasture and do not give them more thar
six quarts once day. After feeding them
ten days You may give them seven quarts
per day If your cattle ars large. Feed ..
the same time Of day ss near o. possible.
If you want to get them fat sson, BY the
first Of November give them five qusrts
twice day by the tenth of November
give them six quarts twice day. In.
crease very slowly but never give them
their full feed until cold weather If thai
should not be until January. 1 expect
good grass until cold weather. Do not
put them in lot until cold weather.
Your cattle will be much healthier than if
in lot, and take much less corn. By the
latter end of January or the first part Of
February begin to feed SO that they will
have beds Of corn and fodder to lay on, if
corn is cheap and you want to get cash
without grazing them.


Have hogs enough to eat up all the
waste corn. If you feed heavy have half
as many stock cattle as fat cattle to follow,
If you can, get cattle to follow coming
four years old. Ifyou can get chance
sell your fat cattle the first opportunity
and put as many more in their place.
Remember to commence With them so as
net to founder them. Do not get to full
feed under ten days or two weeks. Thew
will be good for the June market. When.
ever you can get price sufficient to make
reasonable profit sell and buy more
My judgement whenever l have ANYTHING
to sell, and can get a reasonable profit, is
to sell anything have to spare. Do not
sell on credit unless you are sure of get.
ting your money.


Wheat wastes very much unless it is
well stacked--layins out your money, pay
ing interest and cash and losing credit
think it is better to sell it.


l have not, for many years, let my stock
horses in the stable. Let them run out
when thcreis snow on the ground. Ihave
a blue grass pasture, water, and brush on
it. do not wean q colt. put my stal.
lion with the mares, never catch the horse
to put to the mares, but turn them togeth.
er to let them do as they please. There
is NO doubt but the mother of the young
colts wean them as our mothers wean US.
Come to my place and you will see sever
al young colts running with their moth
ers, and the young sucking colt fat
wintered rising seventy head Of stock
horses last winter without any grain ofany
description. They all did not eat exceed
ing six tons Of hay during the winter, and
| am doing the same way this winter.
sold few days ago pair Of brown bay
colts three years old past, for three hum
dred and fifty dollars, with ten per cent.
interest from date until paid, with good
security. The colts we're not more than
half broken. l sold the same day FLY
three years old for one hundred and thirty
dollars, getting more than half cash, and
ten per cent. interest until the balance is
paid. The same day sold filly four
years old, not broke. for one hundred and
fifty dollars--American gold.


! raise five colts large enough to use,
cheaper than one steer. The trouble with
the colts is that you can not sell . lot of
colts together for the cash as you can
steers. Raise horses, steers, hogs, and
babies, if you feel like it. It is better to
raise nogS IMAM aOgs.


Whenever you get your corn cut, dig
your potatoes and gather your apples be-
fore they freeze. Then fall to making
rails and resetting your fence. think it
pays we'll to reset your fence once in every
four or five years. Make good fence
sufficient to save your crops. Stake and
rider it. To double rider it is for the best.
1t keeps it from blowing down and keeps
you and your neighbors on good terms by
having good fence. think by this time
you can keep away from town ten weeks
Uithou. overstraining yourself.
