N. for we should then know where we are. Now is the time to pick out the best seed corn for use next year. It is not much of a job to go round and mark the earliest and the best filled ears. Seed grown here or to the north of us is best suited to our climate, and is more sure to get ripe in time to clear the frosts. I like a small cob well rounded out over the tip, with large close set kernels, and a kind that ripens early. A corn that sends up a tall rank stalk will be apt to be late and slow in the growth of the ear. It will do at the South and in some parts of the West, but not here. Some like it to sow for fodder, and it is so rank that it yields a great weight, but the earlier kinds mature their juices better. We and save the best sced, and breed must take more pains to raise up to a higher ideal. 1885.] OCTOBER, TENTH MONTH. ASTRONOMICAL CALCULATIONS. Days. d. m. Days. d. m. Days. d. m. Days. d. m.

Pick late apples, and sort them out ready for market. Dig the potatoes, and get them in as soon as dry. Some folks let them lie all day in the sun. I would n't do it. The sun does n't do them any good after they are dug. There is the corn to get in and to husk, and the field beets are ready to store for winter.

It is a good time to do a little fall ploughing. The teams are strong enough to turn over a deep furrow. The young stock, as well as the cows, are better in the barn these cold nights. Crowd ahead all animals that are up for fattening. Far cheaper to put on flesh and fat now than it will be two months from now. • New Moon, 6th day, 4h. 2m., evening, W. 305 1S.6 184 37|10 194 57|32|24|| 6 306 2 M. 6 19 4 36 10 312 Boston.
