I STORAGE OF VEGETABLES, ( The stock of vegetables dcsigucd for < winter use should be stored in the best 1 possible manner. "When the cellar be- I tieath the dwelling house is used for this I purpose there is always more or less un- t pleasant odor arising from them unless, ' ^ as should always be the case in every 1 well-built house, there is a chimney that i reaches to the bottom of thcxellar. An . out-of-door cellar is a great convenience, I but not always to be had, and pits are t difficult to get at during the freezing i part of winter. If therefore we are to 1 be content with the ordinary house- i cellar care should be taken by occasion- j 1 ally opening the windows at either side, I to provide a free circulation of air across it.

Do not let horses' shoes remain on over three to six weeks, dependent on the amount of use and the toughness and growth of the hoofs. Each time after i taking off 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, oH pavements, for months, or the whole year round, and work ' otter than if shod. Never allow the frog of the foot to be rut 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 'prevents 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 ; 'to it, and not the hoof to tin* shoe. I)o ; not allow the bottom of the hoof to be burnt or even scorched with a hot shoe, in order to make it set evenly, but pare it properly to do so. Always use the lightest shoes compatible with the condition j of the roads and the work required of i Air" horse.?Farm, Field n)td Stockman. MAKING COWS GOOD FEEDEltS. r The cow for the dairy, no less than , Vto nnimnla intnnflod fnr mulf in?r Iwrnf 1 . needs to be a hearty feeder. In fact, f there is greater necessity, since the pro- _ duction of a large yield of milk demands i stronger digestive powers than-are re- ! , quired to lay on fat. If a ealf is consti- ' tutionally a poor feeder, do not try to J make a cow of it, for it will he a disappointment. But make sure before turn* ing the calf over to the butcher that the fault is its rather than your own. Poor 'feeding, either by irregularity or disproportioncd rations, weakens the digestive | j organs. The most common mistake in i feeding calves with other than milk is in giving too rich food, and that containing | 1 too little material for making growth. ! ' Oatmeal is excellent, 'especially' if*- the coarse parts are removed, and it is then ' four months old it sho^l'^b^' g^ven^is 1 'great a variety as possible.

Rut few plants will grow, flourish and flower without good light. At the window every plant turns its leaves and extends its shoots directly to the light.

No rule can be given when or . _ how to water. But few plants, and those j ^ of>ilW:cftctirt mitMrCy can live long with ( P out water. If a plant be growing fast, f or is in a ..small pot with a crowd of leaves, it'^fll cfr-y faster than onb with reversed circumstances.

If nof, se<l|9B^?ia do more thrive on impwr^wllR' than you can. If short of yard manure use phosphate, 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 by the fermenting and rotting of the manure in it. Protect the young trees, especially from the risk of injury by rabbits or mice. This should be 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 warden.
