Jflrfmltaral Hints about Farm Work. Beginning the new year "with a conscience void of offence." and his pecuniary affairs in such condition, that he may know exactly what he owes and what is his doe, and of the latter what will be paid and what may possibly be lost, the farmer is ready to take hold in earnest of his year's work. llt| shonld have, as es • ntial to success, Infinite Plan*, not only for 1 month or ij months a-head,but for every day, and as the evening and the morning made the first and each succeeding day of the creation, so every eveniDg properly begins the next Jay, as it is the best time to lay plans for work to be done. This makes the man "fore handed." The work of every week -should i>e planned by the Saturday night before. Winter is evening to the morning which dawns in April and culminates in July. Buildings. —Desirable alterations and new erections may be discussed and planned, timber and stones haul ed when s'edding is good, and prepa rations completed before the frost be gins to come out, immediately after which is the best time to dig cellars, etc., and do grading. Stocl of all kinds should now, in the leginning of severe weather, be well fed and groomed. It is really the most ciiti a! time, for they now feel the change of feed most, and if not kept up and well cared for, will begin to run down. Cows.- -Good hay is not 'good enough lor any body's cows,' if a few roots daily.and a little meal or oil-cake will make the hay go much farther, make the cattle do much better, and make ' eir whole keeping cheaper,notwith standing the extra work. Do not dry off cows too early, especially young cows. If possible, keep up the flow of milk by extra feeding, etc., until within C weeks of calving. Be care ful to have no slippery places where t cow may fall on the ice ; the injury may induce slinking (abortion), and this is infectious. If a cow with calf shows symptoms of sickness of any kind, remove her at once to another barn,entirely away from her compan ions, and keep especi il watch upon c VWb that have slunk their calves in previous years. This is a great dam age to farmers in many sections, and • verj- precaution should be taken to avoid it. Oxen. —Beef cattle will be greatly benefited by regular carding ; they need it as much as horses, and wc doubt not it would he more to the pe cuniary profit of the feeder. Young Stock. — Keep them growing, .uhl give daily exercise and sunning i n roomy yards. Sheep. —lf trouble with ticks, lice, or scab, though at this season it will not do, ordinarily, to dip them, the spots most affected may be wet with the dipping solution, (strong tobacco water,made by boiling tobacco stems, mixed with strong country soft-soap). This is best applied by a bottle hav ing a groove cut in the side of the cork with which it is stopped. Give sheep access to water daily. It is a great mistake to force them to eat snow or go without. Feed roots free ly to all, and especially to fattening sheep. Very little grain will be a great benefit, if equally distributed. Handle your sheep and know their condition. Ventilation Stables and cellars need good ventilation. It is better to lot in the cold air in blasts than to confine the air in the stables so that the animals breathe it over and over again, loaded with the exhalation of their skins and lungs, and the vapors j which rise from their manure both solid and liquid. The health of the , stock requires fresh air ; economy of; feeding is a secondary consideration ; j requiring warm stables : both may j and should be had. In house cellars, especially if damp,the gases from the i decay of vegetables, though slight, if not removed by frequent ventilation, may produce in asmatic diseases, ty phoid fevers, etc. Fowls usually roost as high as pos sible to avoid uncomfortable draughts of air. If indulged in this,they often become asphixiatcd and drop dead from their perches, from breathing foul air arising from the fermentation of their droppings, or being suffoca ted by the carbonic acid gas from the the breaths of many fowls, all close to the top of the house, or from both causes. In warm quarters and well f( d, they will begin to lay before the close of the month. Tee. —ln packing,take care to have ihedrain clear and covered to prevent the air drawing through ; and 6ee that the floor is covered thick w T ith straw, the ice is closely packed, and the chinks filled with snow or ice chips ; also that straw or saw-dust is packed between the ice aud the sides, and that, if possible, the ice is put in when very cold. Seeds. —Keep seeds in a dry cool place away from rats,and not in tight boxes of either wood or tin. Secure all that you will need, in good time, before the stocks of seedsmen are ex hausted, or they have so many orders to fill, that yours will be delayed.— For the same reasons look out ahead for Toois and Machines for spring and summer work. Send for catalogues, study what 3-0u 30U want,correspond about strength, durability, adaption to your particular requirements, and order in time. Manure. —Keep it piled up com pactly, so that fei mentation will go on slowly in the mass. If possible, have n tank for liquid manure under the heap, and pump it up over the solid frequently. Manure sheds quick ly pay for their cost in the increased value of the manure. Swine confined upon manure under cover, will keep hard at work rooting it over and working it up all winter, and if it is quite strawy, they will not compact it too much,but add much to its value. Markets. —\\ e venture no predic tions in regard to the markets, but state as facts, that our grain crop is not equal to the demand, that much corn will go South, and much to Ku rt ipe ; the wheat will go to Europe also— all that we can spare. Prices are now very remunerative. Hay and all fodder is high. There has been a great rush of beef, mutton and pork to market. Those who can bold on to animals intended for slaughter,will no doubt get well paid. Still, the turns of speculation and the uncer tainties of winter and spring travel, involve it with risks, and lead us to hold to our oft repeated advice, sell! when a fair price can be obtained. Wood. —Cot tire-wood, also fencing i stnft", such as needs splitting or saw ing, if not cut already, as it should • have been. Small stuff for fencing, j posts, or poles, should be cut when the bark will peel off easily. Orchard and Nursery ' , Did you carefully plant an orchard i last autumn, and t ink there is noth-. nig to do but wait for the fruit there of? If so, in five years from now we i shall have letters asking what is the : matter with the orchard. The setting of a tree or plant of any kind in- 1 volves a promise to take care of it Unless these conditions are accepted, plant no more trees. Young Tree%, from the beginning, ; need constant supervision. Were the j trees properly planted, no stakes will be needed, but if from careless planting or acccideut, any tree has been thrown out of the perpendicu lar, straighten it up and tie it to a stake Horses orCallle often do much dam age in young plantations, and must be kept out ; indeed hogs are the only auimals ever to be allowed in the orchard. There are some annoying wild animals. RalAnls are easily kept off by any thing that is distasteful to them. Blood is found to be as efficacious as anything else, and is easily obtained and applied. A small sprinkling only is necessary Mice will girdle small trees and shrubs. They work under cover, and all dead weeds and such rubbish must be removed from around the i trees. Clasping the trees with a girdle of sheet iron or old tin, will be found to pay where Mice are an noying. Tramp down loose snow. Brains should be opened on the ! surface, wherever water accumulates : upon the surface. In properly drain- 1 ed orchards tiiis ought not to occur. Insects can now be successfully headed off. The eggs of the Tent- ] caterpillar seem to be especially ar-! ' ranged with a view to their ready removal. If a swelling is seen near the end of a twig,it should be looked to, as it is likely that there is a de- j posit of eggs glued in a band around j it. These clusters are readily seen ; while the trees are leafless, and may be removed by the aid of a step-lad der, on trees of moderate size, and on larger ones a pair of shears may i be arranged at the end of a pole to work by a string. Any time and la bor required to remove these eggs j will he profitably expended. ' Cions are to be cut at any time in i winter when the trees are not frozen, j Be careful to label every parcel.— i Saw-dust, fresh from the log, is the ! best possible material for preserving | cions. Its amount of moisture is just that required to keep them from dry ing, and it is not sufficient to cause injury. It is preferable to sand, as the knife is not injured. Nurseries, the young stock is to be j headed back aud brought into shape. Never let two limbs start so near to j gether as to form a crotch. Make every preparation for the spring trade, : and have ail packing material and labels ready for use. Manure may be carted out while i the ground is frozen, and be ready to 1 spread in spring. j Labels on trees received from the nursery are, for safety,bound on tight ly In this time of leisure go over I the orchard and see that no strangu ; lation can result from tight wires. FRUIT GARDEN'. —The general re ! marks about orchard trees apply to Dicarf Trees iu the garden. Some ' pear trees may be injured by lodging snow, which, if it remains in the tree, ,I may do mischief. Shake it out. If | any 6 'rape Vines were not pruned in au- I tumn, do it n>w in rnild spells,and do | the same with. .! Currents and Gooseberries.--keep I the bush open and shorten in the new growth. Cuttings may be made of the prunings by dipping the lower ends in mud and setting them in a cool cellar. 1 Winter Covering of strawberry and other plants is not blown or washed off. If leaves are nsed, they may re ' quira a little soil to be thrown ovei 1 them. , FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN. —But little can be done here, other than the , general care that every careful person [ will give. Evergreens must not be allowed to suffer from an overloading of snow, , j and there are many close growing • ! deciduous shrubs injured by this.— . Shake it out before it becomes icy, , and shovel it away from the lower [ branches of trees and shrubs. i A Farm Record. Our best and most successful farm ers, at the present day, are those who keep an accurate account of all the operations of tin; farm. A Farm Rec ord, therefore, enables farmers to un derstand more correctly than they possibly could without a record every branch of their operations,in tliefi Id, the fanner's workshop, or in the cat tle stables, or bam. A good record often enables a rarmer to shun some error in practice which, in future yeais, will save him hundreds of dol lars. The farmers of our country are becoming more intelligent than they were thirty or fifty years ago. We frequently meet with enterprising far mers who raise two tons of hay and two bushels of grain on the same soil where their fathers, with their best systems of management, were able to grow but one. And their fathers pos sessed eminent advantages over them in the superior fertility of their fields, imparted by the virgin soil. How then, it may be asked, arc; the sous able to excel their fathers ? The an swer is obvious and philosophical ; the operations of the larni are con ducted with more skill, more intelli gence,and with a more correct under standing of the losses and gains, the profits and expenses,and the adaption of important means to certain ends, than they were when their fathers held the plow and directed the affairs of the field. The sons have learned to keep a minute record of all they perform, or attempt to accomplish.— Their father kept no record. If the intelligent son makes a blunder, eith er trivial or egreHous.it goes on the record, and helps his progress all through life. With no record, their fathers soon forgot the important les sons which a well-recorded failure or success in their f&rm labors was cal culated to teach. fHcrcf)ani>hr.
