Wi: note Hint Harvard University j
is to lutve n veterinary department, j
This is as it should be. There is a
great ami cry ing need all through
the land f or men Icainc-d in the
knowledge of the diseases of auimala
and their treatment, ami no college
or university enn make itself more
useful than by furnishing the country
with men fully equipped I'm ties
wrork.
COARSE, long manure will do well
enough fur some of the field crops —
corn for instance, when applied .to
the sod during the winter, nnd plow
ed down in the spring—but for gar
dening purposes, satisfactory rcsuKs
can only le obtained by having it
thoroughly well rotted. It will Is
too lute to think of this when you
come to use it next spring. Make
your plans for piling and rotting it
during the winter.
The young turkey s have about ac
complished their growth now, and
may l>e put up on fattening diet.
For this purpose nothing is better
than old corn, boiled potatoes and
milk. Ho not pen tlicm up. I.et
them have free run. F< ed them niod
erati ly of corn meal, mashed potatoes
and milk mixed togi tlx r, in tin- morn
ing. Pining the day they wiil range
over the larin, devouring Imps,
woruiH, young grass, fallen spph-s
and so on, git ing them tli varit ly of
food and cxei> i.c needed for good
health. In the evening give what
whole (old) corn they wll eat 11- .n
This course involves hut lit !< trouble,
ami is in ivcrv wav satifm loi \ .
Wauict luaber is getting les ml
less plentiful, tit I high* i and higher
priced, every year. Most, or at h
1 many, farmers have I is of waste
I laud which might Is- put to pr fttabl.
use, by planting with walnuts, ami at
| no cost, excepting Hie little labor re
| quired. Just now the boys are gath
ering walnuts by the bushel for win
ter evening cracking. Suppose they
, le induced to donate a portion of
1 them to planting. Instead of'hulling'
these, the hulls should be mashed,
and then nut, bulls and all, planted
in drills two or three inches deep
Next spring the young trees will ap
|K-ar, and should receive good culti
vation, such as would lie given to
corn, until fall, when they should la
planted in their permanent home. A
little work and trouble in this mat tor
just now Will prove of great la-oitit
to some one nt some future time.
MOST of our readers will remem- i
; her the rex all on, trouble and loss en- j
dured by farmer* three or four years
' ngo, lavatise of the poor quality ol
' much of the seed corn. The vitality ;
of the seed was so low, owing, in all
probability, to the severity or the
previous winter, ami the c an less way
1 in which the acjyd had la-en Aimed,
that much the greater portion Vjf ii
failed to grow, even at the oeoond and
third planiii g Froper caution in
putting ttway and caring for the Med
corn this fall will prevent n repetition
of this unfortunate aud costly ex
perience next spring. The cot a is
! unusually late this season in ripening,
! and great care wull la- needed to pre
vent the germ from IN ing injured by
tbe cold of early wiMcr, before it
shall have become fully burdened and
j-drieil out. Select the seed as early '
| as may Ire, and hang where it will
dry as rapidly as possible, and before '
j hard (reeling weather coon s, put it
in aouia part of the house that the
oohlewt weather cannot reach. This
it timely warning, ami those will do
well who heed It.

the manure, if free front the seed and

A S mtii lown ram. running with a
flock of Metino- or common heep,
will bring grades giving an excellent
quality of lamb and mutton, though
not equal in flavor to the purely

increased in size. wit.li ag excellent
quality of mutton. 1 IIIH cross gives
a carcass fiom one-qusiU-r to n third
