WORK FOR JANUARY.
Grain Relds.—have you carefully ex
amined these, at intervals throughout the
season, to see whether any obstructions
were in the water-furrows, calculated to
impede the free passage of the water ! If
nut, do it without any further delay. Let
not your examination be a superficial one,
and from this until spring make a person
al inspection of them ever• two weeks,
arid wherever you find clods of earth,
sticks or stones, which may have fallen in,
have them removed, as there is nothing like
letting your wheal and rye plants a dry
bed to repose in during the winter. We
feel assured that if proper attention were
paid to keeping the drains open, much of
the freezing out would he prevented.
The Irood.—Thix is a favorable season
for procuring a supply of fuel, to serve yon
not only through the winter, but during
the summer and fall. By doing so, you
will study your interest, economise time,
and not experience the mortification of hav
ing a part of your force diverted from field
duties, to procure wood for the house in
summer. The wood, when cut, should he
hauled in without delay, and corded up
near the house for use as wanted.
Winter Ploughing.—As there are ma
ny intervals of weather through the win
ter, when the frost is sufficiently out (tithe
ground to enable you to have your stiff
clays, intended for spring culture, plough
ed, let us advise you never to let such an
interval pass without putting every plough
you can spare to work : and to see that the
ploughmen du their work as deep as the
strength of your team will allow.
Fencing. 4.e.—This is the season when
you should get all your posts, rails, and ,
other lumber out, and we need scarce tell
you that after it is cut it should be carted
to the home enclosures, for the conveni
ence of employing the hands in working
it up during such wet days as they cannot
be occupied in out-door work. From all
such trees as may be felled fur the purpo
ses named, the bark should be stript off,
as it will faeilitate the seasoning of the
timber, and prevent the ravages of the
wormeby depriving them of a hiding place.
Fences.—A rigid examination of the
whole of your fences should be forthwith
made, so that wherever new may be re
quired that it be supplied, and wherever
repairs may he necessary, that they may
be timely made.
Fence Corners.—Have all the bushes e
radicated from your fence corners, as no
thing bespeaks the neat and systematic far
mer more than to see a clean line of fen-
Sheds for ralik.—lf you have not
put up sheds for your cattle, do it now by
sending a few hands into the woods to pre-
pare the materials. A lew days' work will
enable you to provide good dry quarters
for your stock. Let the sheds face the
south, and their floors be somewhat high
er than the yard, so as to preserve a dry
surface.
Stables for !foram—Have your stables
cleaned out daily, that your horses may be
able to breathe pure air. Stint them not
in the quantity of straw for bedding. for
recollect that fur every pound you give
them fur such purposes, they will return
you four. Don't be content to tell your
servants to attend to this duty, but see . to
it yourself. A daily visit to your stable,
will pay you well, at the end of winter, in
the improved condition of your horses.—
See that their troughs are cleansed twice a
weak by being washed with Icy made
from wood ashes. or with lime water.—
See that they are salted twice a week.
See that they receive half a pint of liuseed
meal twice a month.
Sheep.—Shelter and bed your sheep—
feed them with hay and roots, or oats,
thrice daily ; salt them twice a week;
keep a mixture of tar and salt in a trough
where they can at all limas get it; once a
week throw them pine bows, and let them
be watered twice daily.
Mikh COU'R.—As no man has a right to
expect these animals to give either good or
much milk, unless ho feeds them well—
etc that in addition to three good feeds of
hay or fodder, your much cows receive al
so due proportions of succulent food of
some kind, and be sure to give them Salt
twice a week.
Geareng.—llunt up your gearing of ev
ery kind, repair and grease thcm carefully.
One of the best mixtures for this purpose
consists of 1 mince of India Rubber, dis
solved in a pint of Seneca Oil. Let the
India Rubber be cut into fine shreds, and
after being dia3olved in the oil, have the
gearing well rubbed with it before a warm
fire. This mixture, if rubbed on boots or
shoes, will make them water proof, render
the leather soli asd pliable, and make it
last as long again.
Composts.—Much valuable manure
might be collected between this and spring
tip• collecting mould and leaves from the
woods,. and mixing it layer and layer about
with the stable manure, or by mixing with
each load of mould and leaves one bushel
of lime, and permitting it to remain in pile
until spring. Any carts, horses, and hands
thus occupied would be the most profita
tili employed on the farm.

THE NATIONAL WHIG is what its name
indicates. It speaks the sentiments of the Whig
party of the Union on every question of public
policy. It advocates the election to the Presi
dency of Zsensay Talmo*, subject to the deci
sion of the Whig National Convention. It makes
war to the knife upon all the measures and acts
of the Administration deemed to be advents to
the interests of the country, and ex poses without
fear or favor the corruptions of the party fn pow
er. Its columns are open to every man in the
country for the taiscusiion of political or any oth•
er questions.
In addition to politics, a large portion of the
National Whig will be devoted to publications
upor. Agriculture, Mechanic and rather useful
arts, Science in general, Law, Medicine, Statist
ics, Choice specimens of American and Fo
reign Literature will also be given, including
Reviews, &c. A weekly list of the Patents is
sued by the Patent Office will likewise be pub
lished—the whole forming a complete family
newspaper.
THE WEEKLY NATIONAL WHIG,
one of the largest nevvpapers in the U. States, is
now made up from ti columns of the Daily Na
tional Whig, and is published every Saturday for
the low price of $2 per annum, payable in 'ad
vance. A double sheet of eight pages will be
