Hints about Work-
Buck wheat, which must be cut before
frost hurts it, and if put up in neat gravels,
the tops being bound to shed rains, will go
on filling out, so that, though very few
grains may have been fully formed at
the time of cutting, there will be few not
filled out at the end of a few weeks.
Root C'rojjs may generally at this season
receive some attention. Weeds should be
pulled wheu they appear, and the ground
kept clean. The soil in .y often be stirred,
especially among carrots, to great advan
tage, and the best way is to run a subsoil
plow midway between the rows. Turnips
need hoeing and thinning, and cabbages
constant hoeing.
Potatoes. —The decay of the vines indi
cates the maturity of the potatoes, and early
sorts may be dug and housed at once ; but
if there is any appearance of rot, leave
tiiem in the ground. It makes less work to
dig only the sound ones, and the dec lyiilg
will be chiefly over before the last of Octo
ber ; however, it may pay to dig and mar
ket early.
Com, which promised so very little in
July, probably never looked bett r in Au
gust than this year. It is only a little late.
Do not top it so as to expose the cars to
the frost, certainly not until it is thorough
ly glazed. Go through the best pieces to
Select Seed Com. —Trust this to no hired
man, but do it yourself. Select by feeling
ears a little above medium size (no mon
strosities), close, firm, well tipped over,
tight and full at the butt. Mark these in
some way, as a dab of paint, or by tying a
string around the ear. Then in the husk
ing these may bo unhusked, or broken off
and then husked, leaving the husks attach
ed. Finally select from these the well ri
pened ones, and those with fewest irregu
larities, false or short rows of kernels, and
braid them up in strings for thorough dry
ing.
Seeding to Grass. — Grass seed may be
sowed alone on good soil, on which fine
compost has been harrowed in, and, if the
ground is not both poor and clayey, will
stand the winter well and do much better
than if sowed with winter grain. Oats and
buckwheat are occasionally sown as a pro
tection to grass. The grain should be
sparingly sown. It dies in the winter, but
affords the grass a mulch.
Soiling. —wheat and rye are sown this
month for early soiling crops. Next spring,
as soon as the rye is fit to be mown, its
feeding daily will produce a very great dif
ference in the yield of milk. This is the
earliest crop. Wheat follows soon, then
very late sowed rye, then spring sowed
oats, corn, etc. The rye and wheat will be
oil the ground in time for summer crops,and
as they do not seed, do not exhaust the soil
perceptibly. It should be in good heart
and tilth, however.
Wheat. —Sow wheat early. The soil should
be well worked—not plowed below its nat
ural depth. If sowed upon clover turned
under, work in a liberal dressing of fine
compost with a Sharers' harrow cultivator,
or harrow. Guano, well mixed with blue
muck or peat, brings forward rapidly that
sown in a little late, and causes it to tiller
well this fall. By all means drill in the
seed, if the ground be of even quality and
consistency. If it is hard and clayey, and
sandy or light in spots, sow by hand.
(feeds.—Burn every weed that has gone
to seed. If fed to hogs, 3*oll fill the manure
with the seeds.
Stack's of either hay or grain should be
watched, and if they settle or the
tops become disarranged by the gales,brace
them and retop them.
£ Vermin.— The granaries should be early
freed from vermin, which will generally col
lect as soon as grain is stored. Insects
must be removed before the grain is put in,
when the bins, etc., should be most thor
ough!}* cleansed and whitewashed inside
and out. Ruts are easily disposed oil by
using liberuli}* the phosphorus paste. This
has also some effect on the mice, but not so
much, because,though it is poison and kills
them, the mice do not go in communities as
rats do, and can not be "stampeded." The
paste gives some of the rats a severe colic
and they alarm the rest, and so all are
cleared out. This paste is very fatal to
fowls.
Draining. —The better the ditcher, the
narrower does he make the ditch ; broad
ditches are 01113 7 made b}* green hands. A
ditch d feet deep should not be more than
14 inches wide, and one 4 feet deep (which
is the best for common tile drains) not
more than *2 or d inches wider. To do this,
a set of good ditching tools is needed. Use
round tiles if you can get them. Drainage
water may often be used upon meadows ly
ing 011 lower lands for
Irrigation.— The water of brooks,springs,
etc., (the more permanent, of course, the
betb-r,) may be made the vehicle of untold
fertility upon grass laud properl}* arranged
to receive it. The water must never stand,
nor llow over the soil, but through it, if ben
efit would be derived lrom irrigation. This
is a source of wealth,as great as that which
lies in the peat swamps, and one quite un
heeded.
At 'at Stock require 110 especial attention
this month other than good care and good
feed to prepare them for winter. None
should be allowed to luu down. Though
cows coming in late for winter milking
should not get fat. Beef stock, which are
to be finished off for market during the fall
and winter, should have an increase of
feed.
Hogs for fattening should be penned and
led old corn, ground and cooked. Let the
pigs have the run of the orchards. "Tam
ing" hogs by cutting a gash across the
snout close to the rooting gristle, so as to
make it powerless, is better than putting
rings in their noses, and much more easily
done.
Sheep. —Give good pasturage with wa
ter, salt and shelter from long storms. Fat
tening sheep should be making flesh fast
and "stores" kept improving.
Manure. —Collect all kinds of waste veg
etable matter for increasing "the manure
heap ; put into it no weeds having seeds.
1 he hugs will work over an immense amount
of weeds, sods, potato tops, etc., and con-!
veit the whole into excellent manure. An 1
old farmer used to sa}*, "he would give i
more for a cob that a hog had breathed on !
than for a shovcllul of }*ard manure." The '
bulk and quality of hog manure,or an}* oth
er kind, are greatly increased by haviu* it
all under cover.
Mud and Peat.— Secure as much as pos- i
sible for use in mingling with manure, or ■
under ihe stock iu the stables this winter.
Compost it with lime, if it be not now in a
crumbly condition, for it should be dry and
fine. Get out as much as }*ou can, and j
leave it exposed for the action of the frost 1
in winter. This is work for the whole au
tumn and winter when it can be done.
T<mialoeg. —Cut away supeifluous growth,
i he larva of the Hawk-moth, a large green
"work," will be abundant this mouth, and
it makes a clean sweep of leaves and fruit.
Its presence in betrayed by its droppings
When these are s. en, search for the enemy

rpWENTY-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
A IN DENTISTRY.—J. S. SMITH, M. I)., would re
spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford County
that he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y., where
he has been in the practice of his profession for the past
four years. He would say that from his loug and suc
cessful practice of 25 years duration, lie is familiar with
all the different styles of work done in anv and all Den
tal establishments in city or country, and" is better pre
pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to
do work the best adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist
as he understands the art ot making his own artificial
teeth, and has facilities tor doing the same. To those
requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to
his new kind of work which consists oi porcelain tor
both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much
better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work.
Those in need of the same are invited to call and exam
ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and otten
t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and "Nitrous oxide"
administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred
patients within the last four years can testify.
I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th of every
month, at the office of W.K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc
cupied by Dr. O. H. Woodruff.) Having made arrange
ments with Mr. Taylor, I am prepared to do all work in
the very best style, at his office.
