The only end and aim of man,
Better the toil of fields like these

Farmer's Calendar.

THE farmer should not permit off good winter apples. They his boys or hired men to shake should be picked off and handled as carefully as if they were eggs. The keeping qualities of both apples and pears depend very much on how they are gathered from the trees and handled afterwards. It is good policy to pick the fruit carefully from the trees, and put them into baskets lined with cloth. From the baskets they should be put directly into the barrels, assorting them as they are taken from the basket. In this way the fruit will be free from bruises, and in a condition to keep well. Fruit for home use should be kept in

square boxes, holding about one bushel each. The top of the box should be on hinges, so that when fruit is wanted the box can be easily opened and shut.

This is a good month to make improvements on the farm. Drain the meadows and clear them up so as to bring, them under cultivation. If the water can be drawn low enough, the land is valuable for growing small fruits and garden vegetables. It is also valuable for the production of hay, much more valuable than high land; it requires less manure and produces larger crops. Rocks that are in the way of cultivation should be removed when no more is well to keep busy making imimportant business presses. It

Farmer's Calendar.

IT is time to harvest turnips and cabbage, and to make the farm buildings tight. Do not forget the waterpipes; protect

them from the cold, and thus save a world of trouble when the thermometer sinks below zero. It is so easy to wait, and not pre

pare for winter before it comes,

that too many farmers leave their weather commences, and their late crops to gather after the cold waterpipes uncovered until they freeze and burst. It is not safe to be unprepared for winter after the first of November.

Cattle should now receive faithful attention. They should not be permitted to roam over the pastures or mowing land. Better keep them in the yard, where they will get plenty of sunshine and full protection from the cold winds and storms. Even the young cattle had better be in the yard than in the pasture over night. Sheep may be kept in the pastures until the ground is covered with snow, if they are housed nights and stormy days. Fat hogs had better be killed as

soon as cold weather sets in. It is not economy to keep them after November goes out, if they are fat and more than eight months

ld. Laying hens should receive

particular attention at this season, or they will stop laying; give them warm yet well ventilated

quarters, with warm water and

a variety of food.

Farmer's Calendar.

THE long winter evenings give the farmer ample time to look back and review the work of the

past season. If he has kept an

account of the labor and material expended on each crop, and of the amount sold, as well as what is on hand, he will be able to ascertain the profit or loss on each crop. This is not only a great satisfaction to the farmer, but it makes him better prepared to work to advantage another year. He will naturally drop out the unprofitable crops, and retain the most profitable ones.

All accounts should be settled up this month, and every debt paid, when possible, and every bill collected.

Every exertion should be used to make the home so pleasant during the winter that the boys and girls will think it the most enjoyable place within their knowledge. While your aim should be to give them instruction, you should not omit to furnish them with amusements that

will bring in the young people of their acquaintance.

Do not forget the poultry, even if the hens do not lay. If you have no cabbage to spare, give chopped rowen moistened in

water.

Do not forget your poor and his coal-bin or his flour barrel be deserving neighbor. Do not let empty while yours is full. A kind heart will help you to enter upon the New Year with a happy heart.
