leaving the' raen,idle about one guar
ter of the year ' -It hi well for , em.
plovers tci . :consider if . they can not
bitter 'afford to 'give steady employ
ment, There Is work to be done at
all seasons if sought.for.
The Onnge 'math& often ex
poses men" working in the open air.to
great rlaka. To keep the
_fect•dry is
very necessary. . -,A' weltarained barn
yard is - one preventive of-' wet feet,
and wearing rubber boots wherever

another. Tile latter will serve in all
Horses , Fed should be well cared
for in the slushy condition of the
roads. When brought. in from
work, horses ntiould be welt rubbed
down with' a "piece of blanket, and
the feet and legs thoroughly dried.
The friction will remove the chilling
effect of the cold slush;.but if this is
lett, upon the feet; the skin maybe-'
come diseased, and cracked heels or
foot fever result from the careless.
Surface Water is to be let offtrom
fields and roads#efore the ground is
deeply . thawed. This will avoid
wasteful and annoying washing of
galleys.
Drains should be inspected and the,
outlets 'cleared of • clogging ice and'
snow.
C/orer Seed • may be sown this
month upon the bare ground after a
light frost. By sowing upon a light
Burry of Snow, upon which the seed
c,,an be seen, - a very even east may be.
made. -
Rarroicing Fall Grain is in order
as soon as the ground is dry. It.will
help to cover up . plants pat have
been lootened by heaving, and will
aid weak plants to piish ahead. A
dressing of artificial- fertilizers will
be a great benefit to these crops.
Artificial Fertilizing seems to be
the most important question now be
fore farmers: It, is a comparatively
new thing here. But there , is no
other way to 'procure the necessary
manure' to mativate all our fields, and
to get the largest crops. Nall'
inethod3 will , no longer pay. We
have 'a wide market to fill and prices
arie lo*. To makethingls even we
must produce more. It is well to
catsider seriously .how far one can
experiment with artificial - fertilizers
this season as a guide for future use.
' A Caution.—B9r no , fertilizers
without knowing precisely what they
consist of. Peruvian (hand, and
- other reliable fertilizers, when genu
ine, always have a brand upon the
bags, with a statement of Muir
analysis.. Special manures are sold
by - responsible dealers, according to
known formulas, which should be
studied by the purchaser, that he
may know what he is getting and
how to use
Cows.—Want of. care during the
winterleaves a cow very poor and
weak in the spring.: Any animal that
is out of condition should be well
cared for now. A' meis of warm.:
bran slop, with one ounce of ginger
stirred in, will , be , very useful. It is
not safe to over feed, especially with.
stimulating food.. .
Calves.—A calf infested- with ver
min; may be known by its rough
coat covered with ticks. The young
animals should b 3, freed from these
pests at once. A mixture of lard
and sulphur tubbed' along the spine
and on the brisket will be effective;
and a dose of a tablespoon.ful of sul
phur and molasses, once -'a day for a
week, will help greatly to drive away '
lice and prevent disease. ,
"Black-leg." in Calves is' frequent
just now. It mainly affects the best
kept : animals. To preyent it, give
the sulphur and molasses, and feed
no meal. To redude the coldition.
gradually is an effective preventive.'
Medicines come too late in this dig
ease, - which is almost surely fatal at.
this season. •
Sheep.-4 few one-ounce doses of
a mixture of equal parts of !sulphur
and cream of tartar will relieve the
irritation of the skin _common - in
the early . spring, 'and the loss of
much wool by rubbing. Ewes should
have dry and clean pens and yards.
Abundant litter is no remedy for a
Wet floor; a dry board is better than
'a foot of damp straw for _e L
Lambß.—Early lambs may be push
ed forward , by giving them a little
fresh cow's milk. • They will soon
learn to drink this from o,pass.. The
milk should: be given warm from a
fresh cow, a quarter of a -pint to a
meal.. Do not overfeed any young
animal; that retards, instead of as
sitting growth.
Swine.--Separate breeding, sows
from other pigs, and provide , them
with a warm dry ' , pen, bedded with
leaves or cut straw, and furnished
with a rail fastened 8 inches from the
floor and from the wall to prevent
the young pigs from being, crushed.
It is well to give the sow: half a pint
of raw linseed44l 'a few days before
farrowing, and° immediately after ;
this may prevent her , item destroy
'lag Ulf Pigs. I°'
. Spring Work—The first work is
to replace fences laid by the whiter
storms. There is nothing_ gained by
'plowing too early. The soil Should
be dry. before -. a furrow 'is turned.
Manure may be drawn out; stones
can be rtbe4from frozen ground
when the w tit' of ' the sun has
loosened them.

- If asked suggest a motto to be
kept in Mind, every cultivator the
present_montli, 't would be "Make . .
haste Slowly." ere is the danger,
however;-lhat - man , might observe „
the "slowly," and fo get that it was
coupled with "
.make haste." March
its. practically, throughout the North
ern and Middle States, the last month,
of;winter, and in it there can be done
but little other than winter work.-
No, Matter when aping opens to our
readers, whether it be in February or
May, there will be it. temptation to
begin to work the soil too early. The
days of waiting for , the soil to get in
proper condition are by no means
wasted days; they allow a little long. -
er for thorough preparation for work.
Tile only way in which we can
abridge the time retittirect NI. the soil
to get ready is by draining, and at •
no time can we better judge where
drains are needed than the present.
Do not Graft to Early.—Those
who go about the country to do
grafting, wish to make their-season
as long as possible, and begin to ier:
grafts in February. It should n. 6
be done until the buds on the tree to
be grafted begin to swell, and show
that' 1 vegitation is .active. Make
preparations and - - •
Secure Cions if it ‘, has' not been
done. — Cions when inserted,should
always be dormant, and if not al
ready cut, do it at once before the
buds wake up.
planting Trees is . a job that should
not be hurried. It. is not fair treat.
merit of a tree to put it into a hole
with clods of wet., half-frozen earth
around its roots. If trees are receiv
ed before the ground - is ready,
Heel them in and let them wait.
Select a l
I
y place where the soil is
light, o ' a trench, and lay in the
tees in ' slanting position-'-at an.

Hardening Plants.—As the time
approaches for= setting - the plants in

set them out doors.
SowinY Seeds.—Those which m ay
be sown in the open ground as soon
as that can be made ready, arc of
northern origin, and will grow when
the temperature •is =from 45°—up

are-Beet; Cabbage,. Carrot, Cres,

X.PEILIMENTS have been made in
Michigan in celtivating wheat, and
the - resulta are not only satisfact?ry
but astonishing. A committee was
appointed to oversee the experiments
and make the report. Sixtfeight
pounds of aced per acre were sown
in• dn'lls 16 inches apart, and 00
pounds per acre were drilled in the
usual way. That in 16-inch drills
was cultifiated 'kith a horse wheat
hoe once in the 'fall - and twice in the
spring; the-other of course was not
cultivated after sowing. The report
says that, the 16-inch lot did not
lodge or crinkle, while the 8-inch lot
did so badly. '1 he average yield was
694.- per cent. greater in the IG-inch
than in the 8-inch drills. The Agri
culturist remarks: "It is as reason
able to belieirti that grain erop3
Should be benefltted by cultivation is
that potatoes, corn, cabbages and
other crops should be. Hoeing
wheat in Europe is not an uncommon
Araetiae, and farmers in this country
have begun it with marked success.''
