farmer's Jeprimeut.
Work for the Month.
Among the important things needing pres
ent care and attention is tlie management of
Cattle which require warm quarters under
cover , at night, and during storms Feed
them in and around the barns rather than at
a staek-vard half a mile off. Provide racks
for out door feeding. For graziers who are
constantly feeding cattle for market, a one or ,
two horse power corn and cob mill, and a straw i
cutter are almost indispensable appendages, j
A straw cutter of some kind should be in eve
ry barn.
CORN FOR SEFD. —If not saved, as it should
have been, at the time of harvest, select the
best ears and now put them away uushelled
until planting time.
FENCES. —Procure timber from the frozen
swamps and split out the yearly supply of rails
and stakes. Make posts, working in holes or
pinning two small pieces together. The hem
lock logs peeled last summer should now be
taken to the mill to be sawed for fencing and
timber. Make gates to take tlie place of the
less convenient bars.
GRAIN. —Look out for mice and rats on un
threshed stacks or mows. Keep stock of all i
kinds from fields not covered with snow.— j
During thaws look to the drains and see that 1
no water is allowed to stand on the fields.
HOGS —lf not fattened and killed last month
hasten along. Unless waiting for a market it
is far better to fatten early. Keep well bed
ded at night and supply manure materials for
them to work over. Look to the future in
crease, and provide a healthy male ot improv
ed stock.
HORSES AND MILES. —Give ground feed
with cut hay or straw, moistened with water.
Mix a few cut eairots with their feed occasion
ally.
ICE IIOI'SFS. —FiII with the firM firm ice of
the season, packing it in closely and covering
with plenty of straw.
MANURES. —Keep up the manufacturing at
all times, mixing in the muck and leaves .-tor
ed under cover last Fall. If the manure is
not covered in the yard, cart it to the fields
Bring home on wheels or runners all manures
purchased at a distance and also muck from
the swauips.
Marketing is a part of the thrifty farmer's
business, and the beginner lias much to learn.
It is best to take only good produce to market.
Large fruit Sells better than inferior kinds.—
1y sorting potatoes the fanner gets many bush
els of small ones for his hogs, while the large
measure just as much without theiu, and bring
a better pi ice. Clean, plump wheat sells rea
dily at an advanced price for seed. So with
stock and other produce.
POULTRY. —Warm quarters on n ground
floor, will usually secure a good supply of eggs
in \V inter. Chopped cabbage is a good sub
stitute for (lie green food of the. milder sea
sons. Keep roosts clean, carefully saving the
contents.
ROADS. —Let pride arid love of order, to say
nothing of convenience, stimulate tlio-e in
charge to keep the highways always passable.
Roads left blocked up with snow indicate a
slovenly neighborhood.
SCHOOLS —Have good ones and send your
children to them punctually and constantly.—
Avoid keeping the older boy* at home occa
sionally. They have a right to an education
and a considerate parent will not weigh his
boy's work against his intolligc'iice. Visit the
schools to encourage both teacher and pupils.
SJIF.EP. —Iiook to an increase of improved
stock by introducing a choice buck. Let salt
be accessible, or feed salt hay occasionally.—
Shelter from storms, of course.
TIMBER. —In the Northern regions, get out
] due and hemlock logs, as well as cedar, chest
nut and locust for fencing and other purposes.
A " bob sled" will be servicable.
TOOLS. —See that steel and iron surfaces do
not rn-t. Employ leisure time in repairing
those that arc failing : provide needed new
ones for the Spring. All implements are pre
sumed to lie under cover. A Winter's expo
sure is as injurious as a season's wear. A tool
house and a work room, with carpenter's tools
should be an appendage to every farm house.
Tuisxirs AND OTHER ROOTS. —Feed dailv to
milch cows. If mixed with Indian meal and
fed after milking, little or no taste will tic giv
en to the milk.
WOOD— Get up enough to last a year, at
least. Cut, split, and pile under cover. There
w ill he eeoniomy in it, to say nothing of supe
rior eouking, meals in season and a pleasant
housewife.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.
These, iii the Northern States, are mainly
covered with snow and require little care save
guarding against mice and clearing the snow
from the branches of the small trees.
Tramp around the trees in the orchard af
ter the first snow to form an icy barrier near
the ground which mice will rarely pass.
Shake off the newly fallen snow from
brandies of evergreens, and raise any limbs
partially buried and liable to lie pulled still
further down when rains, or warm weather
settle the drifts.
At the South, and whenever the ground is
open at the North, transplanting may still be
doue, scale washed from young trees, and moss
and rough bark scraped from the trunks of
older ones.
In nurseries labels and division stakes should
now be provided for Spring use. Probably
a busy season is awaiting the nurseryman to
balance the light trade of last Full*, We hope
so at least.
Scions should be procured for Spring graft
ing, burying them in a snow bank, dry earth
or in sand or moss in the cellar. See that i.o
mistake is made in cutting them, and lable each
variety with care. By shaving off l>ut one end
of a scion the name can be legibly written up
on the green wood with a pencil, if no label is
at hand.
Pruning mat/ be doue lightly, in mild lat
itudes, if the time can not'be devoted to it
next Summer.
Mauuies of various kinds, uiuek, lime and
ashes uiuy now be procured and hauled to
grouuds iuteuded for Spring planting.
KITCHEN AND FRUIT GARDEN.
We suppose, of course, that the Asparagus,
Strawberries, Spin age, Raspberry plants, &c.,
were ail covered at the pro|cr season. There
is little now to do, save putting everything in
readiness for early Spring work. At the
North manure can be procured and carted up
on the grounds, tools be repaired, &c., while
South the early gardener will ie making and
vowing hot beds, or even working uud plant
ing ojen grouuds.
Currant and Gooseberry Cuttings may still
bo made, tod the bashes themselves be pruu

CATHARTIC PILLS
4 NEW and singular!v successful remedy for the eurt
A. <f all BiiltoiM disease*—CostiveaevL Imßgestion
Jaundice, Dropsy. Rheumati.-m, Fevers "(lout. Humors,
Nervousness, Irritability, Infiamations, Headache, Pain
in the Breast, Side. Back,and Limbs, Female Complaints.
Ac., Ac. Indeed very few are the diseases in whhh a
Purgative Medicine is not more or less required, and much
sickness and suffering might he prevented if a harmless
j but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. No per
i son can feel well while a costive liabit of body prevails ;
besides it s,tin) generates serious and often fatal diseases,
which might have been avoided by the timely and judi
cious use of a good purgative. This is alike true of Colds,
Feveri-h symptoms, and Billions derangements. They
all tend to become or produce the deep seated and for
midable -li-tempers which load the hearses all oer the
land. Hence a reliable lainily phy-ic is of the first im
portance To the public health, and this Pill has la-en per
fected with consummate -kill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Professors.
| and Patients, has shown results surpassing anything
hi therto known of any medicine. Cures have been ef
fectcd beyond belief, were they not siil-stantiated by per
sons of such exalted positions and character as to forbid
; the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen who have testified in
! favor of these Pills, we may mention :
Doc.t. A. A. HAYES, Analytical Chemist of Boston,
and State Assaver of Massachusetts, whose high Profes
! sional character is endorsed bv the—
lion. EDWARD EVERETT, Senator of the United
] States.
ROBERT C. WINTHROP, Ex-Speaker of the House of
Representatives,
j ABBOTT LAWRENCE, Minister Plen. to England.
+JOHX B. FITZPATRICK, Catholic Bishop of Boston:
; also
| Dr. J. R. CHILTON, Practical Chemist of New York
' Citv, endorsed by "
lion. W. L. MARTY, Secretary of State.
WM. I!. ASTOR, the richest man in America.
1 S. EELANDA Co., Proprietors of the Metropolitan
i Hotel, ami others.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred certi
j tieates from all parts where the Pills have been used, but
I evidence even more convincing than the experience of
| eminent public men, is found in their effects upon trial.
! These Pills, the result <>t long investigation aud study,
i are offered to the public as the best and most complete
which the present state of medical science can afford.—
| Tluy are compounded not of the drugs themselves, but of
j the medicinal virtues only of Vegetable remedies extract
i ed by Chemical process in a state of purity, and comkin
| ed together in such a manner as to insure the best results.
' This system of composition for medicines has been found
• in Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a more ef
i ficient remedy than had hitherto been obtained by any
process. The reason is perfectly obvious. While by the
1 old mode of composition, every medicine is burdened with
j more or less of acrimonious and injurious qualities, by
; this each individual virtue only- that is desired for the cu
| rative effect is present. All the inert and obnoxious
j qualities of eacli substance employed are left behind, the
| curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is self
: evident the effects should prove as they have proved,
! tnore purely remedial, and the Pills a more powerful an
| tidote to disease than any other medicine known to the
| world.
As it is frequently expedient that many medicines
should be taken under the counsel of an attending Physi
cian, and as he coul-l not properly judge of a remedy
without knowing its composition, i have suppled the ac
curate Formula.- by which both my Pectoral and l'ills are
made, to the whole body of Practitioners in the United
States an<> British American Provinces. If however there
should he any one who has not received them, they will
be forwarded hy mail to bis request.
*Of all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how few
would be taken ii their composition was known ! Their
i life consists in their mystery. 1 have no mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open to all
inen, and all who are competent to judge on the subject
freely acknowledge their convictions of their intrinsic
merits. The Gherrv Pectoral was pronounced by scieiiti
j lie men to be a wonderful medicine before its effects were
known. Many eminent Physicians have declared the
something of my Pills, and even more confidently, and
are willing to certify that their anticipations were" more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the inter
nal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into heal
thy action—remove the obstructions of the stomach, bow
els. liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their
irregular action to health, and by correcting, wherever
they exist, such derange men ts as are the first origin of
disease.
