Farm Work for November.
November -is tbe'lnisling Month .. of-the
mason: Indeed very - little faros work,asive
digging and storing the late turnips, should
be lefointil now.. In some beau .a pox
tloi of the corn is still utibusked, and the
'grafi 'lot all threshed. Both- of 'these need
early attention, and then, having put all the
tools away, ao that no animist' for snow shall

`'Cittle—are almost' 'solely dependent upon
man for their food at the North; let it be
given them with regularity, jolt sufficient
for their wants, but none to waste. A good
bay or straw cutter should be in every barn,
and if capable of cutting corn stalks, so mach
the better. For twenty or thirty-cattle and
pigs, a steaming apparatus will pay. Corn- -

and increase the Manure heap.
Cellars--Neep ventilited as late in tbe
senson'as eon be done with safety. like that
the water , drain is perfect: Towards the close
of the Month; mike everything secure against
frost.
Grain. Thresh • the remaining as fast as
practicable, and save all the straw to feed
or bed with through the Winter; it will be
needed this year. Cut straw, moistened acid
mixed with indlin meal, forms excellent feed
for 'cattle and ho es. See that the best grain
is kept for seed. • . -

- Horses and M fes —Feed with cut bay and
straw, adding a little meal or carrots. Have
them wet!' shod' as icy weather approaches,
at the-lifortir. Provide blankets and use
them: 'Give a good bedding at eight. If
standing on a'plankfloor, cover with several
inches of 'tuna, Spent tan or sawdust botht,o
absorb the 'moisture and make a soft standin
place: Ventilate well, using plaiter to take
up' de strong`suielling ammonia. -
Indoor—The long evening and stormy - days
give an opportunity to read sad' think.
Sympathize with the- children as they pore
over their evening lessons, and lend them the
assistance they require. A little interest in
their studies will be of material benefit - to
them. Make borne so attractive that they
prefer It to going aboad where they may
meat with-vicious companions. - -
Permanent imptovemeuts may . now be
made to good advantage, while waiting the
approach of Winter. A few rocks need sink
ing or blasting; stumps may be removed;
stones may be picked up and laid iota per
manent fences; hedges cleared up, etc. These
labors can profitably use up all, the apare
time.
Plow clayey lands fUst before the Winter
sets in. Insects will be turned up to frost,.
and the freezingand thawing of the tops and
sides of the furrows will pulverize the soil. ,
Schools are about_ commencing fur the
Winter, in manfplaces. Have the out door
work in a condition to spare the boys at the
beginning, to take their places at once in
the cla s ses. Nor should they be kept at
borne except on important occasions. Regu
larity is essential to progress.
Tools; Implements, Carriages, Harness,
Sleighs, Sleds, etc.—Put away those no lon
gee wanted, first repairing the broken ones.
Do not leave a plow to Ifreeze in the furrow,
nor any' tool to be covered with a prema
ture snow. Have the harness cleaned and
oiled, and put sleds and sleighs in running
Order:
Wintei Grain—Permit none of it to be
eaten off at this season.. The late growth is
neededsto protect . the roots. See that no-wa
ter stands, or can stand on the field.
Is the Drying Up.
Water, although a very unstable element,
produces quite , permanent effects upon the
face of our globe. He °Sts down mountains,
scoupes out rallies, wears; away precipice,
and builds new lands along the river mouths.
Always seeking a level itself, it is the greatest
leveler of, dryland. Most of the surface of
our globe baring been elevated by suterra
nean violence, Las come up in a very rough
and tumbled eoudition. 'The inequalities or
its surface when newly elevated, favor the
collection cf large bodies of *titer, which,
sending out their streams like , so many-strong
arms immediately commence .the work of
smoothing the surface of the land, smoothing
its roughness, and bringing it into a condition
-more favorable to the operations of man.
The age of .any portion of the earth's surface
may in some measure be determined by the
character of its streams, and the general die.
tribution of water upon its surface.

Of one or two. thousand centuries, most` of

too when the twit of the preceding summer
has induced such a habit of body as to render

. The Swearing Justice.
- Mr. Daniel Herishavr, in hieleminisiences
.f New Ilatupshirs, mentions the following
anecdote of thellon, Lthamar Chase, of Ohio:
" In New Hampshire they used :u tomos,a all
their state, county, and town officers, from
governor down to - hog-reeves, at one town
meeting—the annual March meeting. It-was
oustomiry„ as fast as they were chosen, to
walk op before a justice of - the peace, and
have them Swore into office, by companies,
by pairs and single. 'Squire Chase, being
the most prominent justice, and a severe task
it was, occupying much of his time- from
ffiorning till night. - It stns on one of these
occasions,-after the labors and toil of the day -
were over, he returned to his home, weary '
and overcome with -the fatigues of. his em-.
plOyment, and, thrOwitig himself into his
easy chair, hs fell, into asound sleep.
In the mean time, a r,s t ie couple who Inul
been waiting impatiently for soave time for
the justice to join them m wedlock, presented
themselves in another part of the house, and
made known their interesting desires to Mrs.
Chase, who, somewhat confused and agitated,
attended them to th sleeping justice, whom
they found it clfflicul6o arouse: Shaking bim
by the shoulder, she called out,' Mr. Chase— '
Mr. Chsse,,do pray wake up; here is a cou
ple to be married. The justice, having Ad
ministered oaths all day, was dreaming of
nothing else, half waked, rubbing, his eyes, ,
and looking at the wistful pair, asked, 'Are
you the coupler They nodded- assent. 4- Wel,
hold op your hands.' They did so, with some
hesitation. 'You, severally, solemtily swear
that yon will faithfully perform the duties of
your office, rest:tectively,,acoording to your
j
best'skill and udgment, so help jyou ?co.
The astonished couple looking wild, the jus
lice added, soothingly, ' That's all,excepting
the fee, one dollar, which was etniOly 'drop
ped into his hand, and they wore off in a
tangent, doubting as they Went the legality
of the process; but they concluded to go
according to qui oath."
