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
<<i when there appears little else to be
done.
Taking up Tree.s
" An enormous amount of money is annu
ally lost to the purchasers from rude and
unskillful taking up. Trees are torn up by
the roots, as if the trunk and branches were
the one thing necessary, and the roots su
pctfluouH. The proper way, is to open a
trench on each side of the tree with a com
mon spade, keeping the edge towards the
tree,so as not to cross a root. These trench
es should be far enough from the trees to
avoid the main roots, and deep enough to |
go below all except the tap root, which may
•>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

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.
To PREVENT IIENS EATING EGGS.-HCUS may
be cured of eating eggs by blowing out the
contents of an egg, and tilling it with mus
tard made into past*?. Make a hole in each
end and then blow the contents out, and
when filled paste paper over the hole. One
taste of the mustard effects a eure.
