Work for the Month.
February has been called a month of leis
ure. There i* nothing especially driving, but
for the provident farmer, anxious to relieve a
more busy season from every possible care,
there is plenty of work that may appropriate
ly be done now. The chief employment will
be the daily care of stock of all kinds, and that
nothing is suffered to waste altout the budd
ings. Too many farmers look upon the Win
ter season as a time when little can be earned,
without sufficiently bearing in mind that to
husband is to earn. The barn, the work-shop
the wood-shed, the cellar, the forest or wood
pile will admit a variety of labor in clear or
stormy weather. The Southern planter will
now be actively at work mauuring, plowing
and patting in early crops.
Cattle require a large amount of care dur
ing this month, both on their own, and their
owners account. They should not fall away
in flesh as Spring approaches, nor should a lav
ish, wasteful method of feeding be pursued,
thus exhausting the fodder before grazing (
time. Use the straw cutter daily, and if
there is} much coarse feed, a steaming appa
ratus will be found very valuable. Give ex
tra feed to cows übout calving, and allow them
plenty of room at night.
CELLARS— Watch against froet, keep sweet j
and clean, sort over fruit, and expel or catch ;
rats and mice
CORK —Note the spoiling bins and shocks at
the west, and as far may apply a remedy in fu- j
ture. Procure seed early and test its vegeta :
ting powers by sprouting samples in the house, i
The planting season will commence at the far '
South during the latter part of the month.
FENCES —Continue to get out materials, as :
directed last month. Repair and build new
ones where the frost will admit
FLAX AND HEMP —Complete dressing any ;
yet unfinished
FODDER —Cut and steam as much of the ;
coarse as possible, feeding with Indian meal, 1
bran, and cut roots. Use in the racks in the
yard, rather than scatter the fodder where it I
will be trampled by stock. We trust the prac- j
tice of feeding iu a distant stack yard has
been discarded
FOWLS —See directions of last month, and j
give cooked potatoes or other vegetables in (
addition to their grain feed. Select and set j
eggs during the latter part of the month for j
early chickens.
GRAIN —If any remains nnthreshed, leave it !
no longer a prey to rats and mice. See that i
vermin are kept from the grannrie", and cattle
and sheep from the growing fields. Eating j
off at this season will be very injurious. Look ;
out for early spring seed.
HOGS —With a full supply of warmed cook- 1
cd food, give charcoal and salt occasionally, j
especially to breeding sows. Keep their pens :
well supplied with manurial agents, and a good j
bed of straw or leaves.
HORSES AND MULES —Give grain or carrots |
with cut feed. See that working horses are 1
well shod, during iey weather. Keep blanket- j
ed when not in use, and well bedded at night, j
ICE HOUSES —Watch for the first opportu
nity to fill with thick clear ice, if not already .
done. Pack close, filling crevises with broken 1
pieces. All this, if you get any ice this Win- i
ter. We have seen none to this date (Jan. i
23.)
MANURES —Continue to 'manufacture, and ,
cart it to the fields as directed last month.— ;
Leave it in large heaps until wanted for use,,
covering them with muck, loam or soil. Save 1
all the liquids of the yards and stalls by ab
sorbing them with the muck or leaves stored
for the purpose. It is to be hoped that the
manure is also kept under cover, if it is only
a roof of poles thatched with straw or corn
bats.
POTATOES— Sort over for seed. Planting
may be done at the South during the latter
part of the month.
SHEEP —Keep them sheltered from storms
and separate from cattle and horses. Feed
grain and cut roots with coarse fodder. Let
thera have free access to a trough of salt, with
pure water in the yard.
SUGAR MAPLES —WiII require topping dur
ing the middle or latter part of the month in
mild latitudes. The particular period must
be governed by the season. Provide the nec
essary troughs or buckets and spouts Have
the boilers arranged and everything in readi
ness for operation.
TOOLS —Employ the stormy days in putting
them in order, and making anv new ones want
ed in the Spring or Summer. Waggons, carts,
harnesses and farm gear of all kinds should be !
looked to.
TURNIPS AND OTHER ROOTS —FEED daily. !
giving after rather than hrfore mijkiinr. Use !
the root cutter to reduce them fine enough for j
sheep even.
W OOD —If the supply of last year is now ex-,
hansted, tret up a larger pile this Winter.— j
Improve the sledding at the north, HI d good
wheeling elsewhere to the best advantage while !
they last. But, split and store under cover !
enough to last till April, at least of next year.
There will be economy in it, in more ways
than one.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.
Where grounds are frozen or covered with !
snow, little now can be done among the trees, j
pave scraping of moss and rough bark, pruning j
and clearing the snow from the branches of
small tress. Iu some localities the ground is
open and transplanting may be done, lands
manured and plowed, nursery trees taken up,
packed and sent away.
The comparative leisure of this month will
afford a good opportunity to go through both
Orchard and Nursery and cleanse old and
young trees from moss, rough bark and insects
using soap suds freely. The moss can readily
be washed from the branches of large trees
immediately after a rain, by a brush broom,
tied to a jo!e. If a little potash or soap be
added to the water, go much the better.
EVERGREENS —Watch closely after damp
snows, and shake off what might otherwise
break down the branches.
FRUIT —Look over that upon shelves remov
ing the decayed.
INSECTS —Examine for and destroy scale,
borers, moth cocoons, and the catei pillars eggs
which are now fouud near the end of the branch
es of apple trees.
MANURES —Manufacture and collect muck,
ashes and lime which are valuable for both
orchard aud nursery.

tained from James Rondon, an old Swiss tar-maker in j
North Carolina, who brought it with him from Switzer
land.
AS A FAMILY SALVE,
it has no equal, both in its powers fur doing good, and ;
its extreme neatness as a
CLEAN, SWEET, PURE. PLEASANT OINTMENT, I
healing without the least injury everything to which it!
is applied.
MOTHERS USE IT
for their Caked, Broken and Inflamed Breasts with charm- !
ing success. Thousands of Mothers are this day blessing !
