The farmer who neglects his rattle at this season of the year, when pas tures are damaged by frosts, thereby incurs loss which can not he easily repaired until the fresh pastures of another spring are available. The tune to begin feeding is w hen the cat tle need more than they can gather from the fields, and that time always comes with the cold chilly weather of autumn, with its drizzling storms and frosted pastures. Under : such conditions cattle lose vitality. While they might pick enough to maintain thrift, if the weather were mild and pleasant, they need more, ; because they must fortify against the severity of the season. Farmers are ! often deceived by the appearance of 1 their fields. They think there is a j good bite of grass, from its fresh I appearance ; but they forget that the good bite is not a bite of good grass —that appearances in this case are deceitful. They forget that their animals need more feed, and of better quality, than when the weather does not make exactions upon their flesh. A good way to secure a wholesome condition and maintain thrift in the animals, is to bring them to the stable whenever a cold storm occurs, and in the case of milch cows to put them up at night regularly, and feed liber ally, so that on the following morning they may go forth to the pastures with paunches already filled. It is false economy to compel cattle to pick their living in the fall, in order to save the scanty supply of fodder in the harn, for the demands upon it by this course are inevitably increas ed. The true rule is to keep the cattle thrifty at whatever cost. Removing Small Stones. Fmm tb ormiitn"n Tlrn|>li. We have now before us a short and sharp paragraph on the necessity and security of removing from the highways the loose small stones which arc so frequently allowed by road repairers to remain scattered about on the roadbed. The article referred to says; "A single loose stone, which might be thrown out in two seconds, is sometimes struck by wagon wheels 50 times a day or more than 10,000 times a year. Ten thousand blows of a sledge hammer as hard on one wagon would probably demolish it entirely, and the stone does no less harm because it divides its blows among a hundred vehicles. There is, therefore, probably no investment that would pay a higher rate of profit than a few dollars' worth of work in clearing public highways of loose and fixed stones." AOITATC the manure question; throw everything in the barnyard, keep your stock In your yards, do not have them running in every field on the farm and on the public highway. Then yon will begin to aee what the manure will do for yonr run-down land. A Lot of Good Things. STOI.KN, BKCI(IEI) Ott BORBOWKB i'llOM Of It CONTEMI'ORA Kl EB. Where small fruit is to is: set out next spring plow the ground now and manure it. Now remove all dead wood from currant hushes and clip off one-third the length of new shoots. It pays to feed cows giving milk liberally, butter is high, and now is the time to feed profitably. Always give the soil the first meal. If it is well fed with manure it will feed all else, plants, animals and men. When any tool, harness, wagon, or anything else breaks, do not wait till you need it for use before repairing it, but get it mended at once. One well fed calf is worth two or three that have been recklessly han dled, and it is decidedly less trouble, and a source of more pleasure as well as prolit. The grape ought to be as widely disseminated as the apple, and there is no good reason why it should not be. A four-months'supply of grapes will promote health in the family, save doctors' bills, and prove an im portant part of the food supply. I'lanl a vine now. The orchard needs to le fed as well as any other field w hen a yearly crop is removed. Circumstances will determine the kind of manure to use. That from the stable is always in order ; ground lone, ashes, or green crops turned under are all of great value, and one or more should be used. Fall is the best time to manure the orchard. Small Compost Heaps. All farmers know the value of "compost" and how to prepare it. Many farmers manufacture hundreds of loads of the best manure in this way. They gather together on the premises forest leaves, cornstalks, including the roots, weeds, vines, olfal from fence corners, muck from ponds and ditches, occasional sprink lings of lime tlirough the mass, layers of barnyard manure, and thus build up oblong squares and let it remain over winter. When April arrives the mass has gone through fermentation and comminution, and presents a mound of fertilizing matter better than a small gold mine would be to the proprietor of the farm. Hut we want to see these com|>ost heaps in the garden, and there is no reason why they should not lie there as well as upon the farm. There is rubbish ■ enough in the garden, with the assist ance of leaves, some mould from the woods, if attainable; if not, from i [Kjrtions of the premises it can be j spares!; scrapings from the turnpike; , manure from the stable, and every attainable substance that will decay through the winter. A little slacked lime will be a good assistance. A half dozen to a dozen loads of excel lent manure will be manufactured by the time it is wanted in the spring, without incurring scarcely any ex jicnsc. "Btore" Pickles. An exchange says : We have many letters asking how to put up pickles so that they will look like those sold iin the stores. These pickles look | t>cautifully, but we cannot advise our readers to try to imitate them in all respects. The fine appearance of these pickles is dee to two things, the "greening" and to the use of colorless vinegar. The very green pickles are made so by soaking them in a solu tion of alum and verdigris. The use of a small quantity of alum, an ounce to every five gallons of water, to harden the pickles, is not objection able. After the salted cucumbers have been thoroughly freshened by soaking in blood-warm water, anil changing it every day, until the cu cumbers are fresh enough, they arc put in alum water and kept at blood heat for a day or until sufficiently bard. If they are not green enough be sure not to use verdigris. The vinegar used is "White Wine Vine gar," but it is really made from whis key and water. Its only merit is, that it is colorless, it is a pure acid without the fine fragrance and flavor that belong to cider, or even real wine vinegar. For home use, cider vinegar is vastly preferable; but the pickle makers, for the sake of looks, use the other. Corn. Dr. Sturtevant aays, in the N. Y. THbunt, that Wausbakum in three years' breeding, has increased in weight from 56 pounds to 64 pounds per bushel for the selected cars; from an open ear to a close, compact, cylindrical ear; from a crop that varied greatly in sice, shape and quality of ear, to at present a crop of excellent uniformity and very few unmerchantable ears. Per con tra, a single ear selected for poor quality yielded 181 ears, of whieh but two were of fair quality, the remain der, or 99 per cent., being soft, short, gnarled, etc. Where no culture gave two bushels of eats as good as seed, and culture gave 16 bushels aa seed, and the beat culture gave 26 bushels of Mrs as good as seed. Work and Feed. Frum DiftnU't'i Jvnrntl. An instance of an inventive genius in aii illiterate farmer's hoy is too good to be forgotten. A small far mer hired a youth to assist him in the work of his farm as an indoor servant. The first piece of work he was set to do was to thrash out some corn. As the farmer was passing the barn in which the youth was at work, he heard the flail la/.ily keeping time to a tunc the lad was singing. Stop ping to listen, he ascertained that the words were, "Bread and cheese, tak* thy ease." Going into the house the farmer said to his wife: "This is a queer sort of a lad we have gotten; he seems to think that the speed at which he ought to work should Is; measured by the kind of food he gets." And then relating what he had heard, lie suggesed, "Suppose we give him something different at dinner to-mor row, and see how that acts ?" This being agreed to, he had apple-pie added to his bread and cheese. This brought down his flail somewhat more rapidly, for it was going to the speed wlierewith the lad sang "Apple-pie, accordingly." "Bob's doing a hit better to-day, lass," said the farmer to his wife; "let us mend his dinner again to morrow, anil see what that will bring forth." So, when the next dinner time came around, he had a good plate of beef and pudding set before him, which went down quite grandly and brought the flail into splendid action to the words "Beef and puddin' I'll gi'e thee a druhhin," and to a jolly good tune. "I see plainly," said the farmer, "If I wish to get good work out of Bob we must feed him wellso Boh had his bill of fare changed without having recourse to a strike. How FOWIB Grind Their Food. On this subject S. Edward Todd discourses as follows : Fowls have no teeth to grind or masticate their food with, anil the l>est they are able to do with it is to pick it and swallow it whole. Kernels of grain are swal lowed by them, and as they are sur i rounded by a tough |slliclc or skin, which the juice of the stomachs will not readily dissolve or digest, they could obtain no nourishment at all from grain, if this tough pellicle was not broken. Now, if we dissect the gizzard of a fowl of any kind, we i tind a lot of small gravel stones, which are usually the hardest kind of ' flint, granite or sandstone. Surely here is a pocket edition of Farm i
