Farmer's Calendar.

Fine THE roots must be stored early this month. Let them dry a little in the sun or wind, before putting them in bulk. The work of handling them over is very some considerable; but it pays to dry them, and even to let them "sweat" a little in the pile. Husking should be hurried up now. There is the top-dressing to go on also. A good top-dressHigh ing protects the grass roots, and if the surface is level, the waste of manure is very slight. Many a piece may be kept in good grass by a frequent top-dressing, and grass is the crop that we cold want in New England. Continue to cart out, and plough in manure, if this job is not already finished. Cattle ought to be housed early, and not exposed to the chilling storms. Cows in milk will fall off, unless care is taken to bring them gradually to the winter feeding, by means of turnips, or other succulent fod
