but the weeds need to be kept down just as much as they do at any other time. It is a bad plan to let them go to seed. When we speak of a clean soil we mean one that is free from the seeds of weeds. They are

plants that are apt to grow where they ought not to, and any plant out of place may be called a weed. So the true way is to stop them right where they are and not let them go to seed. Apples and most other late fruits are fit to pick now, and they need no end of care to get them

in right. A bruise will make

bad work.

Can't you get in a few loads? The plough runs well these cool days, and it is a good time to turn up the cld sod. Frost doesn't do the grass any good, and it is best to get all stock in nights. To run a farm well, a man has to use his wits,

brush them up.

WHY don't you clean out the well? The air and the water of the farm must be kept pure, you know, cost what it will. A well ought to be cleaned out once a year, at least, if you want to have water that's fit to drink. There's a waste in most of our drains that ought to be stopped. They are apt to taint the air, and bad air goes to swell up the doctor's bill. A "dispensation of Providence" is more'n half the time nothing but foul air to

breathe, and tainted water to go into the teapot. It's our own

fault. Let us take care of the

pig-pen, the cow-yard, the sinkdrain, the out-house, and stop the leaks in them all, if we want to live to three-score and ten. Use a little dry muck, dust from the coal-pit, fine loam or plaster, every day or two. You'll kill two birds with one stone, have sweet air about the house, and store up plant-food. You'll want it all next spring, sure. Now that the leaves have left the trees, you can see how to shape them, and trees and vines can be trimmed now, as well as not. It's one of the jobs that's apt to be put off. Some folks think it can be done any time, and so let it go. It is a good plan to get the girls and boys all home for Thanksgiving.

WINTER

Now, as Thanksgiving is over, and we've all had a jolly time, let us turn to and fix up for winter. The rule is, to keep a year's stock of wood on hand, so as to have it dry. Costs less, you know, and it pays in the long Pumpkins and turnips run. come in well now nothing like 'em for cows. They're good for milk, and help bridge over from green to dry feed. It

-

costs too much to try to lay

on fat in cold weather, so it is best to put the pig into the barrel, and give your time to feeding store cattle. They like a change as well as we. Dry hay is well enough as far as it goes, but it isn't best to keep them at that all the time. If the ground is still bare in the hayfields, it is safe to haul out a few loads from the cow-yard and to top-dress the grass lands. If the turf is level, and not apt to wash, it will do as much good spread on now as it will in the
