Pi >w or fork up as much of the garden I
before the ground freezes as possible, t
leaving it without harrowing. 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

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

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

Apples and the Orchards.
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

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 !

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

We would advise those of our readers
wnoee buildings or fences require painting,
or whose roofs are in need of repairs,
to send at onoe for pamphlet and
prioe list of Asbestos Paints, Roofing,
Roof Paint and Cement. These articles,
which are of unquestioned reliability,
are also the most economical of any in
use for such purposes. The Centennial
Exposition medal and diploma of merit I
have been awarded to the manufacturer,
Mr. H. W. Johns, 87 Maiden Lane, New
York, who within 4he past twenty years
has built up the most extensive and successful

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.

The MASON <t HAMLIN ORGANS are
thus declared to RANK FIRST, not in one or

Ion, Maes Gentlemen,?I hare for some months relt It |
i daty that I owed to suffering humanity to write you, ,
tatlng the (treat benefit that! have derived from the
ise of Sawvord's Radical Cure tor Catarrh. For
nore than 30 yeara I hare been afflicted with thla very '
roublesome complaint. I have tried all the remediea
hat I conld find. Dot without material or permanent '
leneflt. Last fall the disease had arrived at that atate
hat 1 mnat have relief or die. The entire membran- |
>us system had become so Inflamed, and the stomach
>o disordered, that it was a doubtful matter whether
[ could go to the Pacific coast, or If I did go whether
[ should live to come back or not. I saw an adveriisement
of thla medicine, and although being very
ncreduloua about specifics or nostrums of any kind,
ret In sheer desperation I tried this, and was at once
>eaeflted by it. The changes or climate, a chronic ;
Useaaeofthe liver, and my age?over TO?may prerent
my entire restoration, but the benefit 1 derive
Tom its dally use Is to me invaluable, and 1 am hoping '
o be completely cured, and at last arrive at a respective
old age. _ _ t , 1
IT this statement or raj cue can do 01 any semve w
:hoae afflicted as I bare been, and enable joa to bring
ibis remedy Into more general nse, especially on tbe
Pacific coast (where It is mnch needed), my objsot In
rrltlng tbls note will be obtained.
Very trnly yours, HE2TRV WELLS,
