If therefore we are to be content with the ordinary housecellar care should be taken by occasionally opening the windows at either side, to provide a free circulation of air across it. The vegetables should be stored mostly in boxes and barrels with sand or noil liltcred through them aud shaken fiown 10 mi up tin* little spaces. t'otatoes should he kept covered from the light, occasionally picked over and dusted with air-sluked liuie. ? Orchard ami Garden. TTINTS ON IIOItSE SHOEING. l)o not let horses' shoes remain on over three to six weeks, dependent on the amount of use and the toughuess and growth of the hoofs. Each time after ) taking of! the shoes, if tho road permits, | let him go barefoot as long as no injury follows, as this expands the hoofs and keeps them in more perfect condition. Some horses can be used barefoot, off i pavements, for months, or the whole year round, and work better than if shod. Never allow tho frog of the foot to be cut out or trimmed unless somewhat ragged, and then only a very little, as it acts as a cushion to the foot and lessens or even iprevents bruising when striking a stone ( or other hard substance. See that the hoof is not pared beyond absolute neces- j sity, and that the shoe is properly fitted j to it, and not the hoof to the shoe. l)o j not allow the bottom of the hoof to be | burnt or even scorched with a hot shoe, I in oruerto m:iKr it set evenly, Out pare :t propeily to do so. Always use the lightest shoes compatible with the condition of the roads and the work required of i Aly horse.?Farm, FUM' nnd Stockman. I ' MAKING COWS GOOD FEEDEKS. f The cow for the dairy, 110 less than | the animals intended for making beef, needs to he a hearty feeder. In fact, there is greater necessity, since the production of a large yield of inilk demands stronger digestive powers than are re- ! quired to lay on fat. If a calf is constitutionally a poor feeder, do not try to make a cow of it, for it will he a disappointment. Jiut make sure before turning the calf over to the butcher that the fault is its rather than your own. Poor feeding, either by irregularity or dispro- , portioned rations, weakens the digestive organs. The most common mistake in feeding calves with other than milk is in giving too rich food, and that containing too little material for making growth. 'Oatmeal is excellent, 'especially "iP" the wniou [Mi iiiu l CIIIUVUU| III1U It IS I HUH cooked. lint nfter th? cult i? three or four months old it should be given as great a variety as possible. If early accustomed to eat anything set before it, the j habit will last through life, and a cow | thus reared will be invaluable for families 1 keeping only one animal, to which all the eatable refuse from the kitchen, in- | eluding the warm dishwater and skimmed milk, may be given. If a cow is thus trained to eat anything she will improve | her dairy qualities, and transmit these j characteristics to her young.?American Cultivator. / LIMIT AND WATER. Tint few plants will grow, flourish and flower without good light. At the window every plant turns its leaves anil extends i its shoots directly to the light. This is ! mote particularly so with such as arc ! growing freely. Those plants in a state ! of rest, as the palm tribe, or that have j tout/h iiuhiniu^- ill*** *lw? iiat 111a* KU'Ctlt , myrtle, etc., will live a long time if ] properly watered, if not. in direct light; but they all do better exposed as much j as possible to the full light. Kven in a ' greenhouse, that to the common observer is all light, as it were, the plants don't | show it, as they nil turn their faces to ' the sun, and are one sided, as compared : to a plant grown entirely out -doors. Water is another important thine, with i plants growing in an artificial ntnios- J phcre. No rule can be given when or | how to water. But few plants, ami those | cf lho:cftetu* nature, can live lout; with I out water. If u plant be growing fast, or is in a small pot with a crowd of leaves, it wHl dry faster than one with ; reversed circumstances. A young cutting . just rooted (Iocs not of itself evaporate > much water from its leaves; but it may ba the dry atmosphere of the room ex- i ' tracts thfl inutismv^a^ lust from the soil. If so it must be replaced. We recollect years ago, a sort of -man- 4 of-all work and factotum in a I among other things agreed to attend to the watering of the plants in a small i conservatory attached to the dwelling. ' His custom was so that it should not he ! ; too laborious to do one-half one day, ! the balance the next. No matter if the { \ plant*, by drooping their heads, loudly | | calle I for more water, his expression | was, they can't have it until to-morrow ?. when their time comes. Now, this * won't do for plant culture. They must be \ watered whencvci dry, whether on e a ( day. twice, or every other day. s A very little attention t> the fb'iis, ar.d tlie plant itself will soon show about when and bow often it will want it The t pot, on tapping, will ttound holow if t dry; the foil itself will look of a lighter color; even the foliage, before it wilts for want of water, will change its shade of green to a lighter color. The good cultivator will watch for the sigus, and act undcrstandingly.?l*rairie Ftrnw, HOW TO DRESS AND SHIP POULTRY. In the first place, poultry should be kept without food twenty-four hours; full crops injure the appearance and are liable to sour, and, when this does occur, correspondinriJbdflMHMMP must be accepted thaam^^^^^^^Bhpfce stock. Nivrrldj^ jtjnngthfi ' led. Leave head and uTon, anTdo not remove intestines or crop. Scalded chickens sell best to home trade, and ry picked beat to shippers, so that either manner of dressing will do, if properly executed. For scalding chickens, the water should be as near tho boiling point ks possible, without boil'ug; pick the legs dry before scaldinrr: hnl.l l,v. _ , n , ? >? vuv, in <1*1 unit legs and immerse and lift up and down three times; if the head i simmcrsed it turns the color of the comb and gives the eyes a shrunken appearance, which lends buyers to think the fowl has been sick; | the feathers and pin feathers should then j be removed immediately, very cleanly, and without breaking the skin; then \ "plump" by dipping ten seconds in wa- ] ter nearly or quite boiling hot, and then i immediately into cold water; hatrg in a ' 5y out. To dry-pick chickens properly, the work should be done while the chickens are bleeding; do not wait and let the bodies get. cold. Dry-picking is much more easily done while the bodies are warm. Be careful and do not break and tear the skin. To dress turkeys observe the same instructions as given for preparing chickens, but always dry-pick. Dressed turkeys when dry-picked, always sell best and command better prices than scalded lots, as the appearance is brighter and mere attractive. Ducks and geese should he scalded in the same temperature of water as for other kiuds of poultry, but it requires more time for the water to penetrate and loosen the feathers. Rome n.irties ml. vise, alter scalding, to wrap them in a blanket for the purpose of ate&ming, but they must not be left in this condition long enough tocook^fcMfeBh. -Do not undertake ttk'dWMMfcjij or duekf jtist before killlngrlW^P^ptirpose ?' saving the feathers, (ur it chuses the skin to become very much inflamed, and is a great injury to the sale. Do not pick the feathers oil the head; leave the feathers on for two or i'nrec inches on the neck. I)o not singe the bodies for the purpose of removiug any down or hair, as the heat from the flainc will give them an oily and unsightly appearance. After they are picked clean they should be held in scalding water about ten seconds, for the purpose of plumping, ami then rinsed o!T in clean cold water. Fat, heavy stock is always preferred. Before packing and shippiug, poultry should ho thoroughly dry and cold, but not frozeu; the animal heat should he entirely but of the body; pack in boxes or barrels; boxes holding 100 to 200 pounds are preferable, and pack snugly; straighten out the body and legs bo that they will not arrive bent and t wisted out of shape; till the packages as full as possible, to prevent moving about on the way; barrels answer better for chickens and ducks than for turkeys and geese; when convenient, avoid putting more than one kind in a package, mark kind and weight of each description on the package, and mnrk shipping directions plainly on the cover.?Farm, Fi-ld and Stockman. PA 1<M AND GARDEN NOTES. A pood mulch applied late in the fall prevents damage to the plants from frequent. change in the weather. A rich mellow soil and frequent cutting out of the old wood is necessary to grow a good crop of currants. Do not cultivate too much lnnd. An acre well tilled^w^^w^^^^orc profit water? If iV> more thrive on impure water than you can. If short of yard mauure use phosphnte, and sow clover seed freely. The sod turned under both enriches and seriates the soil. How shall we compost manure? Do not compost it. The soil is greatly benefited l?v the fermentim; and rottiuir of I lie: manure in it. Protect the young trees, especially from tin; risk of injury by rabbits or mice. This should bo done early in the fall or considerable d mage may be done. Set a good example for your neighbors to follow, by having a well kept fruit garden. One such garden in a community will induce many to follow your example. A good provider may oe uiseoveieu o_\ taking a peep into his woodshed. If there is 110 dry wood and kindlings in yours you should not scold if the bread is not light. An experienced oreliardist recommends that, when it is necessary to set a tree where an old one has died, a wagon load of earth should be removed and replaced with fresh new soil. The asparagus lied and the rhubarb plants should be carefully mulched late in the fail. We manure in addition lo mulching. This will aid materially to the securing of a better growth. With fruits, as with all other crops, 1 the plants can best he fed by manuring the ground, and the better rotted and llii! finer prepared and the more thoroughly incorporated with the soil the b tter will be the results secured. i i u i r jood condition.
