FARM MATTERS IN OCTOBER. Yacb month in the year has its special, as well as general duties. The special ones are those which can more appropriately be per formed now than at any other time. October will probably afford all farmers better oppor tu lities for doing many things than will oc cnr any other month of the year. It is cer tain that many kinds of work cannot be dope while the ground is in a frozen condition. One ot these duties is that of draining lands waich are unfit lor cultivation in consequence ot: a surplus of standing water in and upon them. The importance of drainage is better ap preciated than it formerly was ; indeed, many persons believe it now, who never did before. Some progressive neighbor has placed an ex ample before them, whose excellent results have won them over to the good work. Few operations on the iarm are scarcely less economical than attempting to cultivate land that has standing water in it. It is in a great measure, labor thrown away. The soil is inactive, torpid, as it were, for that it is shout as capable of producing crops as the frog pond itself. Such lands will produce a certain amount of gra=s of an ordinary quali ty, and if drainage upon them is inexpedient in consequence ot want of an outlet, distance :from home, too rocky or otherwise expeusive, ibe best way is to let it produce what fodder it will without bestowing much labor upon it, or allow it to grow up to wood, if it will, Through drainage will pay better interest on the sum expended in doing it, than United States bonds: or most other investments. Another October duty is with regard to ma nure. We have often stated as our opinion that there :3 no mode of applying manure to the soi l , which is so cheap, and at the same time so efficacious, as to apply it in its crude condition and plow it trader the surface some two or four inches. This opinion was formed from the most careful practice in the em ployment ot manures in various forms and - ways. When plowed under towards the close of October, it suffers no loss whatever. When ever the soil becomes sufficiently warm to in duceJfi.-rmen!atton, the gases thrown off are at once taken up and held by the soil—storing them in fact—for future use. 'This operation is said also to have a mechanical effect upon the soil, similar to that of yeast in a pan of dough, raising it by separating the parti cles, and thus making it lighter for the roots of plants to travel in and to admit warmth and air. If inconvenient to plow under, manure may be taken to the field, placed in a com pact heap and covered with loam. It should be placed as near the spot where it is to be used a3 possible. In this form and place it will be ready for early overhauling in the spring. It is time in October to commence fattening the swine, by feeding them more liberally than they have been through the warmer months. They will gain faster now thai: when the weather is cold. Always furnish them with a dry bed, and where the wind will not reach them, especially through cracks in the floor. They will thrive better if fed upon a variety of food, and some of it should be of a succulent or juicy nature, in order to keep the system in the most healthy condition. Do not allow the stock to feed the moying field too closely. The effect is hurtful to fu ture crops. The growth of the plants is stopped by taking off the leaves continually. If the plants continue to grow natil arrested by frost they take deeper root, are better able to resist winter killing, and are made perma nently better. October affords a good time to clean up under walls, to repair fences; cut bushes, to put the buildings iu order by making needed repairs before November winds break down barn doors, or set shingles aud clapboards flying. finally, the present is an excellent time to i make a great deal of preparation for the work ! of next spring. Very mnch may be done now to forward business, iu removing stones from fields that are to be sowed to grain and grass iu the spring, and by plowing and levelling them for that purpose. The preparation is a slow work, so that by doing inucb of it now, the spring work will go briskly along, aud crops will be in all good time. These at.d many other tilings may be done in the pleasant mr.Ti of October. —A'.J?. Farmer. Save iHt. CoßNrODirar.. —U'e Lave long been of the opinion that there was not that attention paid to the curing and saving ofthe cornfodder that its value demanded. Every good farmer must know that cattle eat it greedily through the winter, and if cut and steamed it is as good for them as the best hay und readily more milk producing. Where is the necessity of allowing it to re main in shocks until the middle or end of November? Corn should not be cut down tmti! the stalks are dying and the grain is pretiy bard, and then it should remain no longer in the field than is absolutely necessa ry for the dying of the grain. It should be- I husked as early as possible, and the fodder tied up in bundles and either carefully stack near the cattle stables or put under the shel- ! ter in sheds. It is well-known, too, that horses prefer it i to the best bay ; also that the blades are es- j peciafiy sought for to feed racing animals, I strengthening their wind and bottom beyond any other food. It is besides wholesome pro \ender and helps most beneficially in making j the winter's supply of hay hold out till late in j the spring, with the addition of chopped roots, I which every farmer, who shrewdly looks to j the main chance ought to cultivate for feed- ! ing in the early part of the winter.— German j toirn Telegraph. fnEATiiKXT ov SPRAINS ASP Bavtsxa.—The j best treatment of sprains and bruises is the application of water, of such temperature as is most agreeable. The degree of tempera ture vur.es with the temperatureof the weath er and the vigor of the circulation. In a hot day use cool or cold water. The bruised or sprained part may be emerged in a pail of waler. and gently pressed and manipulated with the hand or a soft cloth, for ten orfitteen minutes, or even longer in severe cases, after which wrap up the parts in ctotbs wet in cold water aud kept quiet. This treatment keeps down the inflammation, ar.d in nine cases out of tea proves a speedy cure. The liniments anu filthy c-iutmeuU so much used for sprains and bruises, do not compare with this sim Tie treatment in efficacy.— Herald of Health. U ROOMING HORSES. —Though suitable and properly prepared food is the prime requisite i>r the horse, regular grooming holds the second place in the management of him. A man who omits the customary ablutions at ■stated limes-who goes for days or weeks with uncombed hair, may exist-but does not i:ve in the proper sense of the word. So of the horse- Grooming is alike essential to looks, health, and ciasticily of action. The curry comb and card should be brought into daily requisition, nor should the clipping shears be omitted. Fetlocks be draggled with mud, unkempt and tangled mane, detract much from the appearance o! the animal, re press his ambition, and hence diminish his usefulness. A man who neglects the regular grooming of his horse is an enemy both to the beasts and himself; to them because be withholds labor which is their due and to him self because be depreciates the value ot his own property. "THiir > v. . . To PBKVKVT HORSE* BEINC CHAFED BT HARNESS.— Great care should be taken daring the warm weather of summer to prevent horses being chafed by harnesa. There are several ways to do this. First keep your horse iu good, healthy condition, clean skin with plenty of flesh between it and the bone. Second keep your harness soft and pliabla. And third, use him moderately trad give the skin a good cleaning after using him, every time. Much also depends on having the harness to fit properly. See that the collar is neither too large nor too small, and that the bames are of their right length and shape; giving an even pressuie on the collar. Keep the face of the collar clean aud free from inequalities. It is a very unsightly picture to sec a horsa with sore shoulders and other parts of the hide worn off by the harness. The owner or driver of such a team ought to be ashamed of himself. MR. SAMTEL JOHNSON, the Superintendent of the farm at the State Agricultural College, informs the editor of the Maine Farmer that be found an application of soap suds to grass lands, gave more than double the increase of growth than was produced by any other fer tilizer whatever. Every particle of soap suds is saved and applied at intervals upon grass ground. What a source is here for the saving of fertilizing matter, which now so generally goes to waste. pUtmoroiu*!.

WHAT kind of sweatmeata did they have in the ark ? Preserved pairs. WHEN a maiden gets married she ends a miss spent life. BABIES are the coupons attached to the bonds of matrimony. The interest is due at random. A reason why a piano was not saved at a fire was because none of the firemen could play on it. A pork butcher's sign in a French provin cial city reads: —''Batta, Jr., slaughters hogs like his father. WIFE —"I don't think, husband-, that you are very smart." "No, indeed, wife, but every li .dy knows that I am awfully shrewd." "WON'T you take half of this poor apple"? said a pretty damsel. "No, I thank you, I would prefer a better half." Eliza blushed and referred him to papa. A girl at Saratoga was just getting out of the window at her hotel, to fall into the arms of her Adolphus, when her Grecian bend struck the bell handle, alarming the house. A pedagogue was about to flog a pupil for calling him a fool, when the boy cried out, Oh! doo t! don tl I won't call you so any more—l never will say what I think again. JOHNNY is just beginning to learn geography. He savs that the Poles live partly at ooe end of the globe and partly at the other. He knows it is so because it is marked on the map. LITTLE Norward came into the room where his mother had just hung up a clean curtain, and made the astute observation, "O, ma, the window has got on a clean shirt!" WHEN Milton was blind, he was married to a shrew, borne one told him she was a rose. "I am no judge of colors," said Milton ; "and it may be so, for I feel the tborns daily." P-trx—"How is it, Alice, that you never get a prize at school?" Mamma—"And that your friend Louisa Sharp, gets so many ?" Alice (innocently)—"Ah ! Louisa Sharp has got such clever parents." THE last circus trick in Paris is for a man to leap from a height of eighty feet, being fastened by a long elastic cord, and to bound back again to the place from which he start ed. • THE papers relate an anecdote of a beauti ful young lady, who had become blind, having recovered her sight after marriage. It is no uncommon thing for people's eyes to be open ed by matrimony. AN intelligent gentleman from Germany, ou bis first visit to an American churcb, had a contribution box with a hole in the top pre sented to him, whispered to the collector, "I don't got mein bepers, and can't vote." IF you carve a turkev and it should be tough, and slip off the dish through your awkwardness, and it falls into a lady's lap, it is reckoned polite to make a bow and say, "Please, ma'am, may I trouble you for that turkey again ?" THE way the young Parisian breaks an "engagement" he is getting tired with is to mail his lady a note saying : "I know all! Adieu.' Usually there is enough to be known, if be doesn't know it, and no fuss is made. "W ALTER, said a fastidious gentleman, ex hibiting a singular looking object on the soup laddle. "Waiter, do you know what that is, sir.' "I hal, sir, looks like a mouse, sir. We often find them in the soup, sir. No ex tra charge, sir." A LITTLE girl was very fond of preaching to i her dolls. Her mother one day heard her ; reproving one of them for being so wicked. ; "Oh, you naughty, sinful child! you'll go to the lake of brimstone, and you won't burn j up—you'll just sizzle!" A Boston visiting the State prison, remarked to a prisoner, "most of your friends think your sentence excessive; noth ing like it was ever known." "Yes, I suppose so," was the reply; "but, then, you know, everything has gone up since the war." At a church in Essex, England, lately, the clerk, feeling unwell, asked his friend, the railway porter, to lake his place for a Sun day. He did so, but being worn out with night-work fell asleep. When the hymn was announced, a neighbor gave hira a nudge, upon which he started up, rubbing his eyes, and called out, "Change here for Elmswel, Thurston, and Bury!" How TO COCRT IN CHrßcn. A young gentle man visiting Germantown some six months ago happening to lit at churcb, in a pew ad joining one in which sat a young lady for whom he conceived a sudden and violent at tachment. was desirous of entering into a Courtship on the spot, but the place not being suitable for a formal declaration, the case suggesting the following plan. He politely handed his fair neighbors Bible opened, with a pin tock in the following text: Second Epistle of John, verse s—"And I beseech thee, not as though I wrote a new command ment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another." She returned it, pointing to the second chapter of Ruth, tenth verse. "Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him: Why have I found grace in thine eyes, seeing I am a stranger?" He returned the book, pointing to the thirteenth chapter of the Third Epistle of John-.—"Having many things to write unto | you. I would not write with pen and ink, but | I trust shortly to come unto you and speak | face to face tbat our joy may be full." From the above interview a marriage took place the ensuing week. piCKLING & FAMILY VINEGAR, Superior White Wine & Cider Vinegar, of FINE FLAVOR, STRENGTH AND PrRtTT. For sale by G. R. OSTER A CO.
