Do not try to see how cheap you can feed your farm stock, but rather to see how you can feed to the best advantage. Shell your corn on stormy days, and not wait until you are out and then have to shell it in good weather.

Farmer's Calendar.

Do not put off until to-morrow what can as well be done to-day: never wait until the planting season comes to decide what to plant; but during the leisure hours of mid-winter, think over

what is to be done with each field on the farm, and when it is decided what crops to plant, look over the seed on hand to see what if any, is to be bought; and do not neglect to buy it before winter is over; this will, as a rule, secure better seed than if neglected until a few days before planting; and will give time to test the fertility of the seed by planting a few in a box, placed in a sunny window in the house.

Encourage the larger boys to train the young colts, and the smaller boys the steers; and if you would keep them on the farm, let them own the animals when trained. The farm is a dull place for boys if they are kept at work sixteen hours a day, and given only their food and clothing for their labor; but it is a very happy place if they can have a few animals for their own, and a chance to grow a few fruits and vegetables to sell and get a little pocket change.

The early lambs should be looked after and fed with a little meal, if high prices are expected; give the mothers good hay, some water that is not freezing cold.

A sunny, open shed in the daytime is desirable.
