s§riuUiiral Bepartiunit. Farm Work for December The eouq arative leu&ures of winter affords, valuable tiiuc for learning the sienee of agri ; culture. Mere book knowledge will never make i good farmer, ueither will mere work ing on a farm : knowledge and practice must g > together to secure the best results. The s-t uly jf agricultural works will uot only add to the stock of pructicle ideas, but will devel op and cultivate the man himself. We urge that all the animals on the farm be well cared for during the inclemcut season, but are yet ! more solicitous that the cultivator docs not neglect /muse//. Mind-power is superior to horse power, or steam power on the farm or clswbcre. Accounts—Settle with all debtorsund crud-, itors. At least lei account-; be made up, ami a balance ngrted upon, if debts can not be canceled. Buildings—Save feed and fuel by excluding wind and storms, but provide for ample veutr lation for animals. Cattle—Keep under shelter, feed liberally, ! with frequcut change of diet, and allow tree ! access of water, give plenty of bedding, and keep their skins in good condition by frequent i use of the card and brush. Cellars—Keep out frost and rats ; sort j over regitables that may be decaying. Fencing materials—Collect from woods, and from swamps when they freeze, and prepare rails and posts. Fodder llat-ks or Boxes—Provide them for all stock. Hogs—Complete fattening and kill as early j n.s possible. Give warm food to store hogs, and allow plenty if litter. Horses—Keep in warm, tight, well ventila ted stables. Feed well. Blanket when need ed. Keep sharp shod. Give sufficient exercise ; use card and brush often. Lumber and Timber—l>raw from the for est to the mill while sleighing is good. Manures—Keep all the factories employed Save liquid manures with absorbents of muck or waste litter. Much of next year's profit will depend upon the care and skill now be- j stowed upon laying in a good stock of good j manure. Poultry—Keep in warm quarters, feed lib- ; orally, supply with fresh meat, lime, and grav el, and warm food. Sheep—Keep separated from other stock. Shelter from storms, in well veutilated sheds. Give rootscut fine with hay, and a little oats or corn. Salt#egular, and allow plenty of water. Tools—Keep all under cover ; repair such as aeed it. Winter Grain—Keep surface drains open, and allow no stock to graze or trample the fields. Wood—Cut and pile ready to draw when snow falls. Select dyiug and unthrifty trees, acd thin out undergrowth. If any piuning must be done before July (the season,) let it be done now. Not only is there now more time for the work, but the out surfaces will harden over before the start ing of sap iu Spring. Remember that fruit trees repay expense for manure quite as well as auy other crop, and look out now, and through the Winter, for a good supply. The lime, hair and leather scrapings frcm tanneries, waste wool from the clothiers, spent tan, leached ashes,oyster shells, muck, canal sediments, etc., are all worth carting home, some of them may well be pur- ' chased In 6ucwy countries, care will be needed to guard against mice which often gnaw off the hark of small trees near the ground.— Tramping drowu each fresh fall of snow about the trees is a good preventive. Shake the newly fallen snow from evergreen and other frees to prevent its weight from splitting down the branches.— American Agriculturist. PRESERVING POTATOES BY BURYING THEM.— A correspondent cf the Scottish runner writes to that journal as follows :—Your no tice of the conservative principle in seeds bur ied at a depth beyond the action of the air and moisture brings to my recollection a case of potatoes being buried for two years, six feet under the surface, at the end of which time they were taken up quite sound and ready for j use. The case I refer to was the result of accident, and happened thus : I bad an old ice well of the ordinary description which I abandoned, when I built one of double timber on the surface, after the American fashion.— My gardener used for several years the old well as a potato store. It happened three year's ago that the roof fell in and buried several hundred weight of potatoes, which, as we had plenty, was not eared for at that time. Last year we required stones for a purpose, and had those forming the sides and roof of the ice-house ! dug out, when, to our astonishment we found ; almost the whole of the potatoes as sound as those of the same yaer's crop. I mention this as it may be turned te an account i:i sea- , son when we have, as we had last year, a sur plus crop, that by burying them deep enough, and in a dry place, we might secure ourselves against a short crop, as in ail probability will be the case this year on account of the prevail- ! ing disease. In mentioning this to a friend learned in such matters, he tells me that pota toes buried one foot deep prodaces shoots near the end of spring : at the depth of two feet they appear übout the middle of summer ; at three feet in depth they appear very short and never come to the surface ; and between three and five feet they cease to vegetate. He further informs me that he has hurried pota toes in his gurdeu at the depth of three and a half feet, which were not removed until after out* two years, when they were found quite sound, and possessed their original freshness, firmness, goodness and taste. To MAKE STARCH.— Dissolve as much starch as will be required in a very small quantity of cold water ; then pour boiling water on it till it is of the right consistency, and let it boii once or twice. In miring starch, put a lump of sugar in it to prevent it from sticking to the iron. Stir ring the starch for a minute with a sperm can dle improves it when it is wanted for shirt bosoms or collars. The fellow who took offence has not yet returned it. If our clothes arc not we'l cut, we are ; very apt to he cut ourselves. teef Money is nothing in itself ; it is use ful only when it departs frcm us. is easier for the generous to forgive than for the offender to it XtUsccUnnfous. * NOW READY!
