The farmer should take an active part at town meetings, because, as a rule, the burden of taxes bears harder on him than on those who follow other professions. It is about time to start the hot-bed for early vegetables. Tomatoes, lettuce, early beets, turnips, cabbage, and cucumbers may be planted by the middle of the month, but cucumbers should be planted in a bed separate from other vegetables, as they require more heat and more care, and have to remain in the bed until the crop is gathered. All the winter work should be finished up this month, in order to be ready for out-door work as soon as the weather will permit.

They will grow at once, and are not so likely to become displaced by birds as when set early in the season. Set strawberry plants this month. A few blackberry and raspberry plants set out will add to the enjoyment of the family, especially the children. Do not forget to set a few peach trees every year if you have a light soil and a northern exposure; but do not force them too much, for a large growth makes the blossom buds storm. start in November so much that h.

They add to the attractions of the farm, if not the profit. The English walnut is grown quite successfully in New EngCold land, and should be more widely for cultivated. Early potatoes should be planted the last of the month, and early beets should be planted as soon as the ground is in a condition to work well.
