a ————————— FARM NOTES. KEEPING PLANTS IN WINTER, Doors opening into the room in which you keep flowers should have strips of isting tacken about them in such a way as to close all eracks through which the wind ean enter. A strong wind will weather than will be likely to penetrate down to zero. r fortify against the admission of air through these inlets. It isa good plan to take a day for doing this work, De- gin at one corner of the room and go over it thoroughly, finishing up each part as you go slong. By systematiz- mg the work in this way you are sure to have it done well, but if you stop a crack here and there, and now and then, as it happens to be discovered, you will be preuty sure to have a bad job of it, taken as a whole. If your plants should freeze, as soon as you discover what has been done put them in a dark room cr the cellar, where the temperature is but little above freezing, and sprinkle, or rather, shower them with cold water. In most cases such plants as abutilons, gerani- ums and others of similar character can, if taken in time, before allowed to thaw, besaved, and I have had quite tender plants come through the ordeal with comparatively little injury. The frost must be extracted gradually and with the application of as little heat as possible. Keep them away from the light and waimth for two or three days. If the tops wilt after the frost to cut below that part which appears: affected by the frost, If some of the frosted part is left on, very often decay sets in, which extends to the stalks be- low. it does not follow that the roots have not vitality enough left to send up new shoots, so do not throw them out till you have given them a trial, rir imc GET a hogshend and use 1t for storing the poultry droppings. By next spring it will be found that several hogsheads have been saved if the flock is large. The quantity of manure made by poul- try cannot be estimated until the ex- periment of attempting to save it is made, when those who have vot done 80 before, will be surprised at the large quantity derived, which will not in- clude that which is lost on the range, THE best wealth is the fertility of the soil. The country that largely imports fertilizers and plants food will become gradually wealthy, and the time will come when such country will more tor sale than she can consume, Fertilizers are more lasting and per- manent than gold, and can be drawn fails The same applies to the indivi- dual farmer. The richer his soil th greater his resources and the more secure his investment, ON one plot of ground wheat bas been grown for forty-six years, every year be average yield belong 13} bushels per acre, This isthe work of Sir J, Bb. period to a single experiment, good cultivation, but no manures, cessive sea-ons,. How many more years the plot wiil yield a fair return cannot be conjectured, ASA Gentleman suggest that farm and den tools should be put in thorough order before they are put away for the winter, The iron and steel portions should be cleaned and rubbed bright, and then receive a thin coat of grafting wax, tallow or any substance that will prevent rusting. The parts made of wood will be rendered more durable by a copious application of petroleum, if unpainted or if the paint has worn off, and afterward one or two coats of paint will complete the work of protection, 1% storing fruit or vegetables in the cellar, says an exchange, the better plan is to have boxes or bins, and ar- range them so that they will be raised two or three inches above the bottom and the same distance from the wall, This gives a cold air space all around them, and will aid materially in keep- ing at a more even temperature, while at the same time the risk of injury by frost is considerably lessened. Toe Directors of the lowa Expeii- ment Station are not as favorable to timothy as are the farmers who use it, The report claims that timothy is not equal to cornstalks, and that itis a fav. orite with farmers because it is easy and nice to handle, Timothy and clover bay is rated as far superior to timothy alone, Bers will come out of the hives on warm days, but will busy themselves cleaning the hive and removing the dead bees, It 1s best to keep the hives where they will not be too warm. The bees will thrive best when the tempera- ture inside the hive does not fall low enough to injure them, but the greater danger 18 in too much heat being created in the hive, A Goop dressing of manure around each raspberry plant at this season will cause the canes to grow rapidly in the spring. Only a few raspberry bushes are required in order to supply a small family, and the richer the ground and more manure used the larges and better the quality of the hati o WhneN purchs: lug stavie manure to haul on the farm it 18 best to endeavor to know something of the manure be- fore hauling, One load of manure may stock the whole farm with weeds, The difficulty will not be so great, however, if the manure 1s allowed to heat and Become well decomposed before spread. ng.
