farmer's department.
Calendar of Operations for Dec. 1859.
Farm.—The farm work of this month differs
little from that noted in the Calendar for Nov
ember. lie-read aud follow out the hints there
given. . . t .
T' e close of this year is an appropriate time
to balance the farm accounts, and make anew
inventory. 'I his will show your standing from
year to year, and enable yon at a glance to
see whether farming pays. If it does riot pay,
with lantern in hand, Diogenes like, search for
and stop the leaks. And while balancing the
farm accounts, you may as well balance the
grocer's account current, and any other items
or biils. Excepting those with whom yon have
u sort of barter account —furnishing, them with
a portion of surplus produce—it is not desira
ble to keep open accounts. " Pay as you go,"
is a good aud safe rule, which many persous
have regretted violating.
Although but little active labor is carried
on, out of doors, in the northern States,which
seems to bring cash returns, yet the farmer
who recollects that " to husband is to earn,"
can save a great deal by proper care and at
tention, that would otherwise go to waste. —
At the south much of what we call "Spring
work " is now done.
Cattle require special care now.
Cellars may need additional guarding against
frosts.
Christmas—May it be a merry one to all,
all and a feast of fat things, iu which the poor
are not forgotten.
Fencing Materials—Collect from the woods
and swamps now that they are frozen over.—
Rails may be split aud posts prepared for
another season.
Fodder Racks.—See that the feeding yards
are provided with them to keep the hay,straw
etc., from being trampled uuder foot. Cuttle
food is valuable now.
Forest Leaves.— If any of these are accessi
ble, collect as many as possible for bedding aud
manure. They are very valuable for both.
Hogs.—Kill, any now fattening. Keep
stores in good thrift, providing for an increase
at the appropriate season.
Ice Houses may be filled iu some places.—
The first ice is usually the best.
Irrigation.—Some of the meadows and in
tervales can be overflowed for short time to
their manifest advantage. Cranberry meadows
are improved by keepiug them flooded during
the Winter.
Lumber, Timber, etc.—This may now begot
from the forests aud taken to the saw-mill.—
The early snows usually make the best sled
ding for this purpose.
Manures. —Push the manufacture of these
at this season. Use loam, leaves aud
straw to absorb all the liquids of the yards and
aud stable. Cart a large heap of muck from
the swamp to the stables fur Winter use.—A
free bedding of it under horses to absorb the
urine, will make twice as much manure as
would be saved where liquids are allowed to
run to waste, with no absorbent.
Marketing Produce.—Some of the surplus
productions may now be sold, unless it is evi
dent higher prices will prevail in the spring.—
Farmers are apt to hold on to grain and other
produce until the best market lias gone by.
Poultry require the same treatment as last
month, with protection from the cold, and
gravel or sand toscratch iu. Give meat scrap*
lrotn the kitchen.
Seliools are now in session in most districts
Let the children attend as steadily as possible
arid show them, by frequent visits, that you
take a lively interest in their success.
Sheep.—Provide racks for, and feed under
cover during storm*. Keep horned cattle and
horses from them. Give turnips or carrots,
instead of ail dry feed. See that they are sup
plied with salt, and provided with a good buck
ot au improved breed if possible.
Tool iliui.se.—Look over the implements
stored here, during the stormy days of this
month. Some of them may need repairing,and
a few want replacing with new ones which can
now be made. See that nothing is left to
rust, and decay, or be buried by unexpected
snows.
Turnips.—Harvest, any still in the ground.
Give pits and additional covering and close
the ventilators at night if there is danger of
freezing.
Water Pipes and pumps may need protec
tion from frost.
Winter Grain Fields.—Allow no water to
stand upon them nor should cattle or sheep
graze them at this season.
Wood.—Mark early preparations for cutting
and hauling a full supply for the coming year.
Iu snowy countries it is better to cut iu con
venient lengths for handling, and pile both
" down stuff" and the standing trees, so that
the first fall of snow may be improved to sled
it home.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY. — If the directions
given last month have been fully carried out,
the orchard needs little care now. Excepting
at. the South we would not urge planting during
this month. Compost may still be applied
about old trees to advantage.
To forward the labors of the hurried season
in Spring, a good supply of stakes and labels
should be prepared for nursery use. They can
be made during stormy days, and [tainted ready
for use. The head and division stakes in the
nursery rows need looking to, that none of
them arc removed or displaced, and if any of
the plots or squares are not registered in a
book, let it be done now. It is not enough to
trust to stakes and memory. Let a plain re
cord be kept of both orchard and nursery.
Pruning is not of season at the north. Bet
ter leave the remaining branches until next
Summer. We would rather remove them now
however, than in Spring.
Scions may very properly be cut at this sea
son, while the shoots are not frozen. Bury in
dry earth out of doors, or in sand iu the cel
lar. Mark them carefully.
Transplanting may still he done, but as re
marked last mouth, we much prefer the first
of November, or eveu the latter part of Octo
ber.
Trench, or subsoil and underdrain lands in
tended for earlv planting in the Spring. Be
sides permanently improving them, they can
be painted much earlier.
Cold Frames requires especial care during
month. They should be aired at all suitable
times, guarding against the sudden changes
and severe freezings bv extra covering. When
steady cold weather sets in, cover with plenty
of straw or mats, and place boards over to
turn the rain or melting snows. Leave them
in this situation until it moderates. Snow
tailing upon them need not be shoveled off
Rnsp'oerry Canes of the tender sorts not cov
ered in November should 1M protected.
Spinach. See that all is covered with straw
or seJge. A light protection is stiff Sent.
