g^multrai Preparation For Winter. V long list of jobs demands the attention of every farmer at this season of the year. The first thing to be attended to is protec tion for and feeding of all kinds of stock. Animals no longer find subsistence in the field. Herbage has failed. For this rea son, feed must be dealt out with a frugal hand. Young animals need suitable sheds in our cold climate, in addition to nutritious food. A few hundred feet of boards, two or three pounds of nails, and a few hours' work, will erect a good shelter for a few calves, or a span of colts, or a small flock of sheep.— Many farmers have hundreds of feet of boards and plank scattered around their yards, which would be injured far less by the weather, if used up in making tempo rary shelters, than they would to lie ex- posed to the snow, rain, and drying winds of winter. In many parts ot the country, fence boards may be used during the foddering season for protecting stock, or for making temporary sheds over manure where it is exposed to drenching rains ; and, when the winter has passed away, it could be used . for fencing. Many of our best farmers have learned that it pays to protect man ure as well as their domestic animals. Before the ground freezes, fruit trees of all kinds,wherever they they are liable to be girdled by mice, should be banked up with earth. If the trees stand in sod ground, take a square sod, cut it in two parts with t spade, gouge out one side of each piece, so that when the two are placed together the tree will be enclosed on every* side.— When mice work along on the surface of the ground beneath a deep snow in winter, if they meet with a mound of earth, or the square edge of a sod,they will pass around it, and the tree will be saved. We have never known this remedy to fail. Winter grain needs some attention where water is liable to stand on the surface.— The outlets of all drains, whether open or provided with tile or stone, should be clean ed out with a shovel ; and, when small ponds of water collect 011 grass ground, furrows should be plowed and the loose earth thrown out, so that it may flow away freely. Wherever the intense cold of winter in jures grape vines they should be cut loose from their supports, laid flat on the ground, and covered with earth, ft will pay in a more abundant crop of fruit next season to lay down raspberry bushes, and some kinds of blackberry bushes. The vitality and productiveness of straw berry vines is sometimes nearly destroyed by tiie severity of the weather. So long as the beds are covered with a sheet of snow, they suffer no injury. But, to shield tlieni when the ground is bare, shavings of any kind, tan-bark, leaves or straw, should be spread about two inches deep until cold weather has passed. IJees ought not to be allowed to fly away l'rotn their hives in winter. They can get nothing by going abroad When the hives stand in various parts of the yard, they hould be protected by standing pieces of boards all around tliern, to shield them from Ihe piercing winds, as well as the cheerful uiushine, which invites them to fly away : into the cold air, where they shortly become ! chilled, and are never able to return to their hives. Cellar windows should either be well pro tected by earth, sod, tan-bark or straw, or an extra sash with glass it may be fitted to one side of the window frame, thus form ing an air chamber between two sashes. Break up stones of any kind, and drive the pieces into the rat holes ; then mingle Miiali pieces of broken glass with mortar, and point the interstices with it. Eave troughs should be cleared of sedi ment, to prevent the snow and ice accumu lating near the eaves, causing the water to ack up beneath the shingles,and rundown inside the building. There are scores of othei things that might be enumerated, quite as important, pei haps, as those to which allusion has bet n made, all of which may Ix perlbnn <e cut oft'. This being done, the tree tnav ' he pulled up with its roots entire." A tree cannot live and grow when its roots have been mangled, crushed, and the Dark torn off by digging tools, fun aII roots are better than large ones, especially if they have not been injured in taking up | the tree, shrub, or vine. At the very end of every root, there is i what is called a "spongioli," (though some ; botanists deny the existence of such a ! thing), which absorbs nourishment for the plant. When the ends of the roots are cut 1 off', a plant will grow but little, if any, 1111- ! 111 these injuries to the roots have been j partially repaired. If plants could be taken up s.> carefully ! 1 bat the hundreds of little mouths attached | to the roots are not injured, the growth of. a tree would be retarded but little. These ' minute expansions at the end of each root | are easily slipped off. Consequently, when ! roots are pulled out of the unbroken ground, nearly all the absorbants are left in the soil. But if the earth be till dug up by some tool that will pulvcrize'it, without cutting off the roots, most of these absorbants may be saved. Another thing oi eminent importance is, not to allow the roots of any plants to be exposed to drying winds so long that they will be injured by drying. One Lour in a wnvm and drying day will sometimes divest j small roots of every sign of vitality Free zing when not buried in the earth, will de stroy the vitality of roots in one night. —*— Selecting Seed Potatoes- We have good authority for saying that ■ the best time for selecting seed seed pota toes is when they are dug. Then the skins j are cleanest, so that you can judge La st of i their maturity and quality, You can also , best discover which have the strongest j characteristics of the variety front which ! you arc selecting. And every practical farmer knows how easy it is, when they are spread out 011 the ground, to select those I of the right si/.e. Neither the very largest, i nor by any means the smallest potatoes should be selected for seed. It is by selec . g those ,! average size, inclining up- obtain security against < * and considerable defense ***** the nA lad if you select those of "•••' ng otherwise bet " - more easily and PM MOH * wfctfass having deep • I eyes. Save your potatoes in this way for j a few successive years, and a great im provement will be realized both in the yield and quality of your crop. Seed potatoes should be put up in boxes or barrels, and placed where they will neither freeze nor get warm. A r e are aware that many may consider this a small matter. Selecting in tihs way for one season only, to be sure, is not of very great importance ; but if followed up for a series of years the results will be highly satisfactory—in other words fl it will pay. - ' Every intelligent, thinking farmer knows that by gaining a little every year in a given line of labor, or method of doing work, the greatest and best results will ultimately be obtained. And lie knows, too, bow much loss and vexation would be prevented if he could get his potato crop ! free from small ones, or escape the ravages |of the rot. Besides, there is a general les j son of instruction to be derived from thus \ selecting seed potatoes as you dig them.— ! You learn that forecast and doiug your work in season are the height of that practical 1 wisdom winch is the secret of true success Nor will it cost you much more labor than to wait until planting time. But if you sell all your crop except what is reserved lor cooking purposes, and then go 011 thro' the winter selecting your best potatoes to eat, leaving the rest to plant in the spring, we ask you how long it will be before your crop will be so deteriorated that your pott - toes will be neither palatable, nutritious nor wholesome, and at the same time the yield so diminished as to render the culti vation of potatoes a very profitless biisi ne.s ?— Rural World. Composition of Butter and Cheese In what does the nutritive quality of milk consist ? Is it in the butter, or oilv part : - 1 eles, or in the caseiue or cheesy elements ? Manifestly in the latter. What is caseine? It is a nitrogenous substance, very nearly analogous in composition to gluten, albu men and fibriue. It is also very nearly identical in composition with flesh From twenty-nine to thirty per cent, of the ingre dients of pease, beans, and other highly ni trogenous seeds of leguminous plants, con j sist of caseine. It is, in fact, one of the most important elements of nutrition. It is well known that cheese is an exceed ingly nutritive substance, more nutritive, a good deal, than even butchers' meat, and this nutritive quality is due to the caseine chiefly, the butter or oily constituents ad ding flavor and delicacy, what we call rich ness, to the taste. New cheese is made from the caseine in milk. That the nutritive quality of milk is to be found chiefly in the caseine, is suscepti ble of an almost unlimited amount of proof, but we do not suppose it will be disputed and therefore we will take it for granted. In which breed do we find the milk rich est in casine, the Ayshire or the Jersey ? Unquestionably in the former. Take the milk of both and set it in separate pans, in f favorable circumstances for the cream to rise. After a sufficient length of time, say twelve or eighteen hours, skim the two specimens, and observe the difference in the skimmed milk. One is still white, the ! color being due to the caseous matter which surrounds the butter particles, the other is as blue as the sky. There can be no question as to which would make the better skim-milk cheese. One appears to to be all water, the other is still rich in cheesy and butter particles .-Mass. PPgh man. Mutton the Meat for the Millions Mutton is the best meat we can eat, best, as being the most delicious, if well cooked. We do not mean the wooly, greasy! mutton of the Merinos and Saxonies, nor j the coarse, stringy, tallowy, though very : economical mutton of the Leicester?, Cots wolds, and other long wool sheep. When we say mutton is the most delicious of do- j mestic meats, we have the flesh ol the mid dle wools in mind—that is, of South-downs, par excellence, and Cheviots, Hampshire downs, Shropshire-downs, and others of their kindred in a less degree. Mutton is made more economically, and is used up more advantageously, than pork or beef. A farmer can seldom have fresh beef un- : less lie lias so large a number of hands that they can consume a quarter before it will : spoil. More grain is required to make a pound ot pork than a pound of mutton. — It is more healthful food than pork ; fat mutton will keep longer, and a family of | ordinary size can dispose of a small sheep i before the mutton will spoil, even in quite 1 warm weather. Besides, if a farmer is 011 friendly terms with his neighbors, he can easily sell, or lend one or two quarters.— '■ By a system of exchanging fresh meats, ! several families may be supplied with that j of most excellent quality at all seasons of I the year, at a very cheap rate. Mutton is ! more nutritious and will consequently give ! a laborer more strength than pork ; people ! oi studious habits, and children in particu-! lar, will feel better, accomplish more, and j be more healthy when they eat mutton than j d they eat much pork or even beef. Convenience is un important eoiisidera- j tion at all times, 011 the farm or elsewhere, j When fresh mutton is wanted, one man j can dress a sheep or lamb in a tew min- i utes ; while much longer time is required to butcher a beef or a hog. Nothing is lost! in making mutton, and it costs compara-1 lively nothing. The wool will usually j cover all the cost of keep during a year, j and often that ol fattening too. Taking ! this view, which is a fair one, no one can j lail to perceive that mutton is the cheapest; meat that can be raised. Small families ; can salt and dry one or both hind quarters, 1 or cook a quarter and eat it cold. A quar- j ter of lamb after it has been cooked, may j be kept ten or twelve days, and still be j good. Farmers should learn to prepare [ their own meat, and not sell their animals ! to butchers, who sell them the meats for I their own tables at exorbitant prices.— Furthermore, a great many people who have only a garden or small farm, can of ten fatten a few sheep during the winter, and ilitis have better meat, at a much cheaoer rate than ii they purcnase it. OILING F ARM TOOLS. — Every farmer should { have a can of linseed oil and a brush on hand, and whenever he buys a new tool he I should soak it well with the oil, and dry it I by the fire or in the sun before using. The j wood by this treatment is toughened and! strengthened, and rendered impervious to j water. Wet a new hay-rake and dry ti, j and it will begin to loose in the joints but ! if well oiled, the wet will have but slight 1 effect. Shovels and forks are preserved j rorn checking and cracking in the top of lie handle by oiling, and the wood becomes j as smooth as glass by use, and is far less liable to blister the hand when long used, j Axe and hummer often break off where the wood enters the iron ; this part particular ly should be toughened with oil, to secure durability. Oiling the wood in the eye of the axe will prevent its swelling and shrink ing, and sometimes getting loose.
