Gather t up all rubbish and weeds, and burn so 1 that the v? hole ground 'will be ready for 1 the plow at any time. ' Maxubk ?This and the following ( mouti luu^fc bo devoted to increasing | j the stock of msuure. Provide absorbents J or the stable and pr*vy; dry eaith * is best; :( this has not been collected, ] use leaves, woods earth, d-y muok, or } even coarse marsh liay run through a cutting michine. Lot the manure from the henhouse be gathered and put in a dry p'ace at least once a month, ep^inkfe dry earth under the roosts 1 weekly. Winter protection is ueoessary in |' most north, rn localities, espec ally for spinach and sprouts. Do not apply 1 until froezin,' weather, the object being ' to prevent sudden changes from heat to ' cold. Cabbages ?Before the ground freezes hard, open a furrow in a dry spot, put ' down two railR five or six inches apart, and then lay the cabbages, head downward, upon them; torn the soil upon theai from each side so as to cover the heals with three or four inches of earth. \ If a part are covered with hay or straw i they con bo got at readily during mild I spells in the winter. Plants raised from ! seeds sown in September can now be set > out in cold frames to be kept until spring; set down to the first leaves and do not put on the glass until very cold weather, the object being to keep the i plants dormant. Those with soft or | poor heads, if set out in trenches and covered v ith boards, will make excellent heads by spring. Boots.?Market gardeners store their root crops (except potatoes) in trenches or pits in a dry place from which wuter will drain off. The trench is opened , four feet deep and six feet wide; the , roots are stacked in sections across the pit, two feet wide, then six inches of earth, then two feet of roots, six inches of earth, and so on, ooveriDg all with eighteen inches or two feet of soil rounded up to shed water. By covering the earth well with litter, the roots may ] be taken out at any time. If stored in | a root cellar they should be packed in earth to preserve their freshness. If the quantity is small, boxes or barrels , may i>e used, bat if large, bins may be , made. , CJelery may be stored in trenches in j the open ground; make them a foot , wide, and as doep as the length of the , celery; pack the plants closc-ly, before , severe weather comes. Cover with a few inches of hay or straw and boards ' to keep out water; when very cold 1 weather comes, more straw should be 1 added. Saiall lots may be stored in 1 long narrow boxes, with a few inches of ' soil oa tho bottom, and kept in a oool i cellar. i Rhubarb.?Make a new bed in the . fall, if needed, it starts very early in the v\ /v lr.\ *-v r% ?aa!o f / AVA -L OAU up t? ion IWKD 1 vl iUiV ing; a cask partly tilled with horse maMire placed in a warm cellar will answer. Sweet Potatoes.?As soon as frost has touched the vines, cut off close to the ground. Dig on a warm, sunDy day, and allow them to dry for a few hours, when they should be packed in boxes or barrels with perfectly dry chopped straw, and placed where the temperature will not sink below fiffcyti\o or sixty dog. Pausxips.?Dig before the ground freezes, and stoe as recommended above; a part may be left in the gronnd until spring. Carrots and beets should be gathered l c ore very cold weather, and stored the su-ie as parsnips. Some cut the tops with a sharp hoe before lifting. Turnips will stand hard frosts and may remain in the ground until freezing cold weather comes. Feed the tops to the cows.?Agriculturist. A .Hodel Farm Arroaat.

When and how should apples be gathered for keeping? was a question1 i.-ked the American farmers' club. Gather the fruit by hand always when s madness and preservation is desired. Delay gathering as loDg as possible and avoid severe frosts. Place the fruit in now tight flour barrels as soon as gath? ered from the trees. Gently shake the Kirrels while filling them, and press the head closely in, fo that the apples will b 5 snugly packed. Place them in a cool, shady ex)X)">nre, where they had best remain until the weather beoomes too 1 severe, when they shonld be removed to I a cool, dry cellar, in which air can be j admitted occasionally in brisk weather, j English apple growers lay their fruit in heaps in diy, cool cellars and cover j them with straw. On plarth g orchards, how far apart should the trees be set? The uiatnnce apart depends upon the 1 m'xla m which they are to be treated. j {{ all the ground is to be devoted to the trees, thirty feet apart is recommended; but if the oaner wishes to keep the land between in. grain and grass, fifty feet is the proper interval. Forty feet i3 the distance at which trees in on hards ; are usually planted. Pow often does the " bearing year " ! of the apple tree take place ? Ia ordinary culture the bearing year j )ccutb every alternating year. This is ' >wing to the exoessive crops of this ( ruit, which exhausts most of the or- l ?anic matter laid np by the tree, which f ihen requires another season to recover t rod collect a sufficient supply to again ( !orm frnit bnds. With special culture ] ;he apple, like other fruit tre-: s, eon De 1 iiade to bear moderately every year. t This is done by thinning out one-half )f the fruit when in a young state doring the bearing year. The bearing penr of an apple tree may be changed by * eking off the fruit when the trees first j? ;how good crops and allowing it to re- ' nain on the alternate seasons. 1 i ? 11 SUMMARY OF flEWS. j1 I [tens *1 Interest from Hotae and Abroad, i There are internal disturbance* among the 1 Japanese Sinoe the last defeat of the 8er- ; r an army, the Russian officeie are leaving in i numbers, refusing longer to risk their lives for such a pusilanimous people, whom they cot> 3emn in the strongest terms The new Dutch maritime canal, connecting Amsterdam with the German ocean, has been opened with elaborate ceremonies Charles W.

A Vast Sea.?It seems to be demonstrated that within historic time a vast inland sea filled the depression marked hy the vast plains of Turkistan, that it i included the Sea of Aral, the Caspian ! sea and the Black sea, and that the ! change, which is still going on, was in-1 augnrated by the openiug of the Bos- j phorus, which some suppose to have j been the deluge of Deucalion.

Merchant's Gargling Oil has won for itself a world-wide reputation as a liniment useful in rheumatism, sprains, bruises, burns, scalds, etc. This preparation was first manufactured in 1833, and since then has steadily grown into the favor and confidence of the people. The loDg term of years during which it has oonstaatly been brought to the notice of the public, together with its immense sale, give evidence of an inherent value which cannot be doubted. An objection to its use?that of staining the skin?has been entirely removed, so that it now leaves no stain whatever. Although called " Family Oil," and prepared intentionally for human flesh, it answers as well for beasts; and will be found one of the best remedies for all purposes, where a liniment is required, that has ever been manufactured.?The Druggist, New Lebanon, N.

One More Unfortunate. Almost every day the papers ohroniele the suicide of some poor unfortnnate whose mind has been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose earthly horizon a heavy gloom has gathered from the untold and ontellable agonies of this cruel oomplaint. Dyspepsia is one of the most depressing diseases afflicting humanity.' It is cosmopolitan in its nature?no country is exempt from its visitations, no family free from ' its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead ; it comes in the shape of the Peruvian 8yrup. For years It has been scattering its blessings abroad. There is, probably, no disease which experience has so amply proved to be remediable by the Penman Syrup as dyspepsia. The most inveterate forms of this disease have been completely cured by this medicine, as ample testimony of many of our first citizens prove.
