Notes and Suggestions for the Month
This is the month ol' cold when it is most
piercing, of winds when they are harshest,
of hunger when it is most distressing—of
firesides when it is most cheerful, of snug j
warm houses when most agreeable, and of
good fare when it is most satisfactory. If
the cattle of any well-to-do fanner are shiv
ering under the lea of the corn-stack, il his
sheep are shrinking away from the gale in j
the fence-corners, and if the young stock j
are gnawing frozen sods or cornstalks tor a j
living, we would be glad to have their low- j
ings and bleatings so constantly in his ears j
that he could take rio comfort ot his own |
pleasant things till he had made his stock j
as comfortable as possible. I lie lessons j
of the happy Christmas time, and ot the j
closing year have their application in the j
farm house and in the stock-yard, as well j
as in the church and in the class room. I
Accounts. —Devote sufficient time to a j
thorough going over all accounts, and he- j
gin the new year with a clear statement of i
vour debts and dues.
Animals. — In our latitude, the present is ;
a irying month for animals of all kinds.— j
In many places they are passing from grass .
to fodder. Every animal, from the work
horses down to late chickens, should re- j
eeive special attention. What every an
imal needs at this season of the year is, j
enough to eat and protection from storms.
When cold weather first comes on, young
animals in particular often suffer much j
more than after their systems have become j
used to it.
Ashes.—Leached or unleached, wood or ;
coal (if free from slate and clinker,) are I
excellent for top-dressing lawns, meadows |
md pactures ; and the more there are scat
tered where they are needed, as soon as i
convenient quantities accumulate. Ashes .
heaped up against young trees will often j
destroy the bTtrk and kill them.
/lams. —lf not already, attended to, de-1
lay not to put every building in order for
winter. Loose shingles and boards should
Lie nailed ; the large cracks between ridge
boards need closing up with long nails :
and the siding should sometimes be taken
iff, jointed and replaced, to exclude snow
and keep rain from rotting the timbers.—
Wherever the ground descends towards the I
foundation walls, a few loads of earth j
should be hauled in, t<> turn the surface wa
ter oil before the ground freezes, as the ex- j
pansion of the earth will often crowd walls '
inwards, after freezing a few times. If the :
ground descends from the wall, the water
will be carried away and the expansion
will be less forcible against the wall. Make
a little mortar and stop all crevices, not
only in the walls, but between the sills and
foundation, to exclude cold air from the ap
partments of animals.
J tarn-yards.- Before the ground freezes,
scrape all tlie line manure into ln aps and \
haul it to meadows, or pastures for a top- •
dressing. It will act as a mulch to the
grass roots. Clean out all surface ditches
near the yards, and cut shallow channels
where they are needed to prevent surface
water from flowing into any part of the I
yard Remove all stones and sticks liable
to be covered with manure and hinder
pitching.
H<alis. — Dry and shell all that are un
ripe before freezing, as they will make good
feed for sheep ; freezing before they are
ripe, spoils them.
Jti rrt's. — Bullocks or dry cows should be
vonfiued a large proportion of the time in
close yards, or spacious stalls.well littered,
['emi with hay, corn meal and some pump
kins, or roots. Better feed bountifully and
fatten ra| idly, than to give a small allow
ance and fatten slowly. Bear in mind that
it is estimated to cost to maintain the ani
mal heat of a bullock during one cold night
.n the open air, not less than one pound of
the best meat.
Cat res and Cults. —Do nut fail to provide
comfortable winter quarters for these young
animals, lest they lose flesh, run down, get
.■lf theii feed, and become what i- called
spi nig poor.
< trs. - Reel IN scarce and the price high,
and for this reason we consider it a bad
policy to sell good cows for beef, as many
people did last season, because they com
manded a high price. Better hold on to
good cows for breeding".
'V ii'n —Spread all soft ears on a floor in
an airy place, where it will shortly be dry
enough to grind for feed. Save best cars
for seed.
If rains. —< a ar the outlets of under-drains
by shoveling out all sediment that will ob
struct the How of water from the drains
during u inter, and protect them ag'ainst
being entered by mice.
/■.'ores 'lrough*.-- Before freezing weather
remove leaves and ail other sediment which
settle in the eaves troughs. \\ hen cistern
wat< r is not used lor drink, foi culinary
purposes, or for stock, it is a good plan to
paint the troughs over with gas or coal tar,
applied hot after boiling it an hour : it is a
good pn servative.
/■'mltler. —\ ary the fodch r > ! all kinds of
stock as much as possibh with reasonable
limits. It is bettor to change it on different
days, or even at dill'erent meals, than to
make too great mixtures. Hay ami straw
may be mixed ; ground grains, bran, oil
meal, etc., may be mixed with hay, straw,
-talks or roots. Wed dill'erent kinds of
roots separately
Fuel. —Begin early to look out for next
season's supply from the wood-lot. It is
poor economy to burn green wood : better
to let it stand in a hot place, or lie in the
- v.- oven to dry well. Water put upon
the lire only tends to put it out.
!train fields. — It is a rare thing when
grain lields are not more or less damaged
by "feeding off" in the autumn. Sometimes
It seems useful, but is risky.
Horses. —Keep brood mares in loose i">\
es, 10 feet square, and when possible give
each one a sunny yaid to go to at pleasure
in all weathers, when it is not too slippery.
Be careful of tin ii slipping on the ice.—
Keep all work horses well shod and sharp
caulked, but do not let horses plav together
if shod.
hnjilements.- -If there is no room in the
sin ds for implements, pack them together
unl improvise a rool of boards tacked to
gether ; by no means leave them exposed
to the weather to be rotted.
Manure.— Save every particle of liquid
manure, if short of litter in the stables,
use soil or muck as an absorbaut. See
that no water runs into the barnyard.
Keed the mauurs in one or more compact
well formed heaps, so placed that the teach
ings may be pumped over it.
Meadows. —Avoid feeding off the mead
ows too close, let no heavy animals go on
the grass land at all in soft weather, when
they will poach up and injure lite sod.—
furn water from the highways or uplands
upon the meadows and pastures, where it
will deposit much manurial matter.
dr.,, Keep them iii sheltered sheds,
'i better, i:; good warm stables, well fed
and eardi 'l !r< quently. Spring poor oxen,
or young cattle, are a disgrace to any far
'n**i ""fed til gleet shooing in frozen
weatf er.
Poultry Fill i box I efore the snow cov
' i the gl .und, .villi a bushel ~| two elean
gravel, but if this cannot be found, pound
uy some large stones, best sand stones. — j
Give pounded bones and other animal food j
with the grain, and see that they all have
sheltered roosting places. If in warm I
houses well lighted, they will lay if well I
fed.
Sheep. —December is the most important i
month in the year, in this latitude, to ef
fect anything in improving sheep Good
protection from storms, and regular feeding ;
are most important. It is better to com- .
ineuce now feeding lambs and all kinds of
sheep a little grain daily, than to wait uu
they begin to lose Hesli.
" Swine Keep fattening hogs in comfort-j
able apartments and leed regularly. So '
loug as swine will increase in weight, halt
of one per cent, daily, they are doing well.
Vheu they eat little and do not increase in ,
weight, the sooner they are slaughtered :
the better. Platform scales, with an extra
platform for a hog to stand on, are couven-;
ient for weighing fattening swine, to know j
how fast they gain.
ll 'aler. —See that water does not stand i
on winter grain, nor for a long time on j
grass ground. A few hours' work with |
spade and shovel will often release numer
ous small ponds, which would materially 1
injure vegetation Surface water frequent-:
ly settles and remains a long time in low j
places near fruit trees, vines, or bushes, to
their great injury.
1
Good Walks-
The season is upon us, when good hard
walks about our dwellings, barns and out-*
houses generally are very desirable on
many accounts— health and convenience
being among them. llow many of our
farmers neglect this home duty. How j
many allow the paths even to their houses !
to be almost impassible in moist weather, ;
and as with the barn, or different stable !
doors, to the pens, cattle yards, iVc We
know of persons who wade through the ;
water, mud, and soft manure for eight :
months in the year, to got at these several
places, instead of providing a footway of
stoin s, coal ashes or boards, either of
which can be made at small expense and
a few hours of time in labor.
Especially is this neglect to be condemn
ed where the females of the family are the i
sufferers, wearing out their nerves and spir
its in drudgery which might be avoided if j
their husbands, sous, and brothers, would
do their duty. If any think that there is j
economy in this, lie is greviously mistaken.
To say nothing as to the loss of time in
wading through the mud, the wear and
tear of shoe leather and injury to other j
clothes, would alone pay the entire expense
of providing good, dry walks ; but when j
the question of health, of suffering and j
doctors bills are taken into account, they 1
ought to be sufficient to drive every liegli- j
gent, unsympatiiizmg proprietor whelner 1
in town or country, to follow the sugges
tions herein made. A man who will not
look after the reasonable needs and corn
torts of the family does not deserve to have
a family.
Maxims for Sheep Farmers
Sheep do better in small (locks By j
small lioeks we mean from thirty to fifty, j
and even ii a tanner keep this number j
they should be separated—the lambs and
decrepid sheep being yarded by them-'
selves that tiiey may receive extra care.
It is better to keep sheep confined in >
yards at this season ol the year than to
allow them to range al will over pasture
and field, ."-operate yards should always
be provided for sheep and cattle, where
practicable ; but il not so they should nev
er be turned in tin yards together, as acci
dent and loss often result therefrom.
Convenient and suitable arranged houses
or sheds are indispensable, in successfully
wintering even a small flock of sheep.—
Shelter being provided, the sheep ought i
never to be allowed out in a storm oi rain
or snow, nor in damp weather.
\ll houses or shells should bo properly;
ventilated and well lighted Attention to i
the first of these is great importance.
Yards should be provided with pure wa- \
ter in order thut the sheep will not have to i
seek it at a distance from the buildings,
nor obliged t i eat snow to obtain moisture,
I hey will eat snow if they cannot get wa-'
ter, but it is injurious to them.
Racks in sheep houses are of great im-1
port inee, as the sheep can be fed therein ■
in stormy weather without wasting the j
torage. Yards should also be provided for '
them, and also with grain troughs. But
in clear, cold weather, when the snow in
the yard is clean sheep will eat their fod
der better and wast' less if fed upon the
snow than m any rack ever made.
(ive some kind of roots twice a week to !
the entire flock -lending the lambs and'
weak -beep, barley, corn, or some kind of I
provender, every other day, Feed with re- j
gularity, and tend your flo.-k with gentle-j
lies- and kindness.— Wisconsin Farmer. i
Kitchen Manures-
One "t :He amusing inconsistencies of j
agricultural existence is the fact that one '
—one !- why. hundreds and thousands in
dulge in the practice—purchase a bag or!
of some advertised mercantile manure in
town, at an i vpensc ol from three to ten
dollars, haul it twelve miles at a cost of
five dollars, and while I hey are doing this
actually throw away home fertilizers of
double fiie value, that might he saved and
prepared for application at a cost of sev
enty-live eetits.
Foi all manorial purposes, win re any of
the ordinary garden veg< tables, melons,
grape vines, and fruit-trees are sought to
be benefitted, a barrel ot mingled soap-suds,
greasy dishwatei, kit chen-sct apings, and
ehumbcr slops is ol more worth than a bag
"I the best I'aeilie guano ever brought
around Cape Horn
I lie e are always enough old barrels
and tubs knocking about, often needlessly
knocked to pieces at every farm bouse, to
save all such material in. If not it were
better economy to expend live dollars for a
few second hand barrels to store such kitch
en oft al in.than to let it gtr utterly to waste,
and spend fifteen dollars lor some mercan
tile adulterations of not a quarter of the
value.
Foon FOR FATTKN I.VI. DOI I.TKV. —Tiie cheap
est and most advantageous food to use for
fattening every description of poultry is
ground oats. These must not be confound
ed with oatnn al, or with ordinary ground
oats ; the whole of the grain is ground to
a fine powder ; nothing of any kind is ta
ken from it. \\ hen it is properly ground,
one bushel of the meal will more effectual
ly fatten poultry than a bushel and a half
of an\* other meal The greatest point in
fattening poultry is to feed them at day
break.
CARROTS FOR llOßSKS—Experiments have
shown that the best way to feed carrots to
horses, is in connection with oats. Alone,
carrots are not UH good as oats alone, hut
in conjunction, they are better than each
fed separately. If you are in the habit of
f< eding four quarts to a mess, give two of
oats and two of sliced carrots, and the re
sult will be more satisfactory than if each
were fed separately.
