.farmer's Qepartineut.
Calender of Operations for Jan. 1859.
FARM. —With a GOOTI shelter for his house
hold, and for his farm stock, provisions and
fodder iii abundance, and u mind in keeping
with the quietude wliiuli reigns übout liiui, the
thrifty furuier may now sit contentedly before
the fire while the wintry blasts sweep by his
door. He has no need of going out every few
hours, with shovel ill haud, to see if t lie sheep
are buried beneath a drift, or the calves perish
ing with cold, lie has ample time lor leading,
and to nature plans for the year now commenc
ing, and especially to close up all accounts of
the past season.
Let New-Year's day beanew starting point,
and, with the experience of former years fresh
in memory, let a strong effort be made to ren
der the acres doubly productive at a slightly
increased expense of tillage.
Bams and stables require especial attention,
for through them passes much of the Summer's
toil. Remember "to save, is to earn,'' and
suffer nothing to be wasted upon the floors, in
the mangers, or yards. Chaff and coarse fod
der with readily be eaten it run through a hay
cutter and mixed with ground feed. Use dried
muck or saw dust for absorbents in the stables
which both benefit the stock and increase the
manure heap
Breeding Animate of all kinds require care
ful attention, but not over-feeding, (five thfctli
a good shelter in comfortable quarters.
Cuttle thrive better on less food, when com
fortably housed, than when so exposed as to
require a large quantity of fodder to keep up
tue animal heat. Feed a portion of tha roots
stored iu the cellar, g'ving turnips to milch
cows after, rather than before milking, or they
may flavor the milk. Carrots are better on
this account than turnips.
Cellars may need some extra protection to
keep out frost. Spread mats or straw over
root and potato bins where frost can uot be ex
cluded from the cellars.
CORN* —Unless seed was saved, ns it should
have been, at the times of harvest, select it,
from the best in the bins—Grind or cook any
fed out as to get the full benefit of it.
FENCING STI FF. —Secure a good supply of
posts, rails, and board timber while the swamps
are lrozen. Posts may he holed or pinned
together, and gates made during stormy days.
HEMLOCK AND OAK BARK. —Market early,
that which was peeled last summer for tanning
purposes.
H OGS —Warm, snug and dry quarters are
now wanted for hogs. Keep the pens well
coated with muck, leaves, straw or saw-dust,
for bedding and manure. Clean out often
Provide for Spring pigs by turning in the male,
if not already done.
HORSES. —Take good care of these noble
animals, since winter with its fine sleighing
and sledding scarcely affords a season of rest.
Through heat or cold, sun.Jrain, and snow, up
on the road for a pleasure drive, or to market
the surplus produce, in the woods for lumber
or fuel, or carting home the distant purchased
manure, the horse has an almost daily task,
and richly merits kind humane treatment and
generous food. Cover with blankets when not
using, give good bedding at night and a liberal
allowance of grain, alternating with carrots
where tliev can be had.
LUMBER —Many farmers have a surplus of
pine, liemlo k, cedar, and various kinds of hard
wood lumber, which they can now get out for
railroad ties, ship-building, furniture, or car
penter work. Preserve the young and thrifty
trees from injury as timber is yearly growing
more valuable.
MAN IKE —Continue to make, even at this
inclement season. By keeping every manufac
tory well supplied with muck, double the usual
amount of equally good manure can be made.
In the absence of muck, use saw dust, spent
tan, the refuse of almost any manufactory iu
your neighborhood. Road scrapings, sods, or
even common soil carted into the yard as ab
sorbents of liquid manure, will always pay
richly for the trouble.
Plowing heavy soils in open winter weather
will usually improve them by turning up the
hard pan to the slaking influence of frost, be
sides killing burrowing insects and roots of
pestiferous perennial plants.
POULTRY. —Keep in warm quarters, feeding
well while the ground is frozen or covered with
snow. Cellars under barns or other buildings,
or an excavation made in the side of a hill
with a roof over it affords good shelter during
winter. Give meat, also pounded oyster shells
or lime, to keep up the supply of eggs. Boil
ed potatoes and buck-wheat cakes, alternating
with grain, are good food.
ROADS. — Keep them open to the public travel
even if snow storms are frequent. It shows a
lack of public spirit to see a community oblig
ed to leave the highway I 1 eked up by snow
drifts until thawed out iu the spring.
SALT. —AII farm stock should have saltonee
a week at least. Salt hay w ill answer the same
purpose.
SttEKP.—Provide suitable shelter separate
from other stock, Given few cut roots each day.
TOOLS. —Many of those wanted another sea
son may be made or repaired during the stormy
days of this month.
Vermin, such ns rats and mice are unprofi
table animals. Keep only a small stock übout
the premises. Terriers, ferrets, cats, traps,
strychnine, and arsenic are the proper antidotes.
A small bounty on their tails will usually set
the children astir, and rats too.
WOOD. —Cut and draw from the swamps
while they are frozen and the sledding or cart
ing good. Have a full years supply, not only
nt the door, but cut, split and piled away un
der cover if possible, before the Spring work
commences upon the farm. Remember the
annoyance of having men called from the hay
field to get oven wood, or the breakfast delay
ed on Recount of onlj green stuff for fuel.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY. —LittIe needs to be
done here during this month, at the North.—
In the Southern States ground may be dug and
otherwise prepared, and both orchard and nur
sery trees set out. Pruning may also be com
menced in mild latitudes, where there is no
danger of hard freezing to crack the wouuds.
We dislike winter pruning at the North.
Keep ail kinds of stock from orchard and
nursery. Cattle are fond of the teuder shoots
which they seriously injure by bowsing.—
Large trees should not be used as rubbing posts.
Allow uo water to stand upon any of the
grounds.
Clear off moss, rough bark, and scale, from
orchard trees, also caterpillar or other eggs
found on the branches.
Mice often girdle trees, especially aloug
hedges and stone walls or fences. Trampling
snow very compactly around the trees after
c ich fresh fall will usually protect tliein.
Cut Scions when there is uo frost in them,
and bury in sand in the cellar, for spring use

EMERY'S PATENT RAILROAD HORSE POWERS !
TIJE are manufacturing these justly celebrated End-
VY lew* Chain Powers, for one and two horses ; to
which we hart added sneh improvements a to make them
the best endless Chain Powers in the world. Our
THRESHERS AND SEPARATORS
Are much improved over the Albany machines, and work
admirably. Our new
TIOGA POINT THRESHER AND CLEANER,
Just finished, will, we are confident, prove it—-If to be the
BEST COMBINED THKKSHKK AMI WINNOWER in market.
It runs easily, is simple, strong, light and durable; will!
not carry over, nor waste grain ; and will thre-h and
clean fit for ma-ket as much grain per da\. with the same
power, as any Thresher with Separator will thre-h.
It is admirably adapted for two and four horse powers.
Job threshers will find it to be ju.st the machine they have
so lor.g desired to find.
Our Horse Powers and Threshers are, to say the least,
equal to any made in the Union : so that farmers hi Sou
thern New-York and Northern Pennsylvania, will find it
to their advantage to buy our Machines, on account of
saving heavy expense in freights, as well as for their su
periority.
We invite the particular attention of Farmers and Deal
ers to our
TIOOA-POINT FEED CUTTERS, OAI.E'S PATENT.
We can with confidence, recommend these Hay. Straw i
and stalk Cutters on account of simplicity, durahilitv,
strength, efficiency.ease of operation, rapid cutting, Ac. j
They do away with the very serious objections heretofore ;
urged by farmer* and others, and justlv to->, against all
patented feed cutters ; namely—that they are too com
plicated, too many small castings and traps, consequent
ly too liable to get out of repair ; that they have too
many wearing or friction places, therefore hard to operate.
Our Feed Cutters have two simple straight knives which
can easily he sharpened, or. if ever necessary, can be j
inadesliy any blacksmith. All are warranted to give sat- j
isfaction. Asfe your merchant to order one for you. and
send for our CATALOGUE, which contains additional in- j
formation concerning al! of the above mentioned machines
and many others of our manufacture and sale.
