See that the animal heat is all out of the carcass before salting, or the meat will never cure well. See that all live stock is carefully sheltered from the storms and cold night air. The food consumed should go to make beef, mutton, pork, milk or butter, and not to keeping the ani mal warm alone. It will be first ap plied to this latter use, and only the surplus beyond what is necessary lor this purpose will go to make profit. Do not forget to keep a strict ac count cf all income and outgo from t the farm. A man who keeps no ac- counts is rarely a successful man. No J merchant can be successful without knowing exactly what he buys and 1 what h sells, and the expenses at- tendant upon ihe conduct of his husi I ncj-s, and the same rule applies to I farmers. It is adisab!e. also, to keep ' an account with each crop, so thai it J may be known exactly what the cost I is to make it. When once started, this 1 keeping of accounts will not be found I to be a serious tah, and will not take 1 up much time. I This is the most convenient season 1 for icviewing the results of the year's , work, and for devising plans for the . coming year. Do not merely look into J the successes of the past, but examine carefully the causes of the failures, so that they may be avoided as far as 1 possible. Lay out a good system of rotation of crops, and adhere to it. On this largely depends the continued profit from year to year to be derived from the farm. Diversify jour crops. Above all things plan to raise upon the farm all the supplier necessary to meet the needs of the household and the live stock, as far as it is possible to do so. The man who does this from year to year, will soon be in a posi tion to be independent and able to watch the fluctuations of he market and tako advantage of the best time to sell his surplus products. Markets are depressed by the compulsory sale of products mainly brought about by the neglect of farmers to make sup plies for the home requirements. With bread and meat in abundance at home a farmer can afford to wait with com fort until his surplus is in demand.

Any time after that will do. but M2rch is the best time. In planing for an orchard do not set apple trees nearer than thirty feet, nor pears nearer than twenty. The orchard must be manured or it will starve: give it a coat every year and a good one. Lots of people who have orchards could make them yield enormous crops if they knew how and acted up to thei- knowledge. A correspondent writes, telling how to stake a tree. This is not necessary. We already know. The way to stake a tree is not to stake it at all. A tree that cannot stand alone, that has to be propped up, had better be let go don had bette- be dug out. A tree that has a good supply of roots that is pruned at the top sufficiently needs no staking: if most of the roots are at one side, or if they are few and small out of proportion to the head, the tree will never do any good, any how. I repeat, the way to stake a tree that needs staking is to let the wind blow it away. "Good riddance cf bad rubbish." DAIRY NOTES. The profit in dairying depends en tirely upon the ability to produce a strictiy first-class article at all seasons, with no failures, no falling oft in quality. The most profit is derived in the winter, as butter brings the highest price at that season; but if year con tracts are made, the advantage is in having more time to care for the cows, and if there is a surplus it will be no drug on the market. The feeding must be done carefully, liberally and systematically. If a cow seems to be doing badly change her feed. All cows do not require the same. One may do well with rich con centrated foods, another will do better with lighter feed and more bulk. It is folly to stint a cow. If she will not return a profit on liberal feed ing, sell her to the butcher or trade her off for anything you can get. no matter what her breeding is. There is no profit in letting a poor cow eat up the profits of a good one. It requires study and skill to be a successful feeder. Feed each cow in her own manger and have it arranged so her neighbor cannot rob her. If possible, arrange to have water in the stable. It pays to have it so they can drink whenever they wish. There are patent devices that are very satisfactory and certainly pay for the outlay. Be sure that your cows are perfectly healthy. If any should seem sickly put them by themselves and find out what the trouble is. You cannot make good butter from a sickly cow. Make the stables comfortable. Com fort gees a long way in mailing a cow profitable. If you give your cows careiul and ccntle treatment you increase their value. If you are rough and brutal you lessen their productiveness.

With the approach of winter we would advise you to get your fowls in out of the trees. In fact, they should never have been permitted to roost In the trees, but as such a thing has been tolerated, it should by all means now be stopped. A hen may put just one too many nights in )r. a limb, and yon will have a case of bad cold to handle, which, if not prop erly treated, may soon develop into something worse. CORN REQUIRED TO FATTEN STEER. One of our Minnesota readers raises the following question: "How many bushels of whole corn will it take to fatten a 1.000-pound steer for a period of six months?" He adds. "1 have fed enough cf them. but. like many others. I never kept- track of all the feed." We think we can furnish data that ought to suffice for an answer. At the outset, however, it should be said that much will depend on the charac ter of the fodder fed. as a steer given first class clover hay or alfalfa will do on considerable less corn than a steer fed timothy hay or com fodder. Much al.-o depends on the way in which an animal is handled and the food pre pared. If the meal is ground, we are satisfied that an average of not more than 11 pounds per day will tie ample. lKjcinning with five or six pounds a day and increasing very gradually. Multiply 1S' days by 11 pounds and the product is the quantity of meal re pired. These figures are base upon three or four experiences that wc conducted j ourselves at the Minnesota and On tario stations. We found in one in stance that steers which averaged not more than 10 pounds per day for 150 days made as much gain as those that were given four pounds more ever?" day. If whole corn is fed. as it is com monly fed. it would take from 20 to 24 pounds of corn per day. but in that case swine would follow. It is common to allow one pig for one steer. The and the steer, therefore, would v-ant 24 pound of corn per day. but in that case it is not likely that it would be necessary to keep the ster on feed for six months. Fed thus, he would probably not make much gain atttr the end of four months. Really sound horses of good and kind disposition are scarce. If we get one we ought to stick to it as long as the animal is able to work. HAVING THINGS HANDY. The handiest place in the world for the currycomb and brush, for in stance, is in a little box close by the side of the horse stalls, so that we shall not nave to travel back and forth a long way to get them. Steps count before night. Save them. Hang the shovel and the manure fork also near the stalls. Don't stand them around against the side cf the barn. They may get knocked down and the tines Etick into the shins of some boy or some animal. The handiest placv I have found for the lantern is to drive a staple in the girt overhead, attach a piece of old pump chain with a snap at the lower end. Have it high enough so that your head will not strike it when about your work. Then it pays to have a regular place for the hayfork. You ought to have it where you can put your hands on it any time of day or nigfcL I GARDEN WINTERING BEES. Probably the most convenient place to winter bees is in the cellar. The first step in this direction is to be assured that the cellar can be kept sufficiently warm to prevent the tem perature from going below the freez ing point. A portion of the cellar should be partitioned off from the rest for this purpose and provided with sufficient ventilation to allow the escape of foul air and also to regulate the tempera ture should there be any danger of i: rising too high, which would cause the bees to become restless and crawl out side the hives. After a number of colonies are put into a cellar the tem perature will be several degrees high er than it formerly was on account of the warmth of the bees. The bee apartment should be so sit uated as not to be subject to constant invasion by individuals when going to the cellar proper for fruits, vegetables, etc. If a person has a great number of colonies to winter indoors it would, i jS?!.be 3n ad.vanla?e t .uIM a .....,., .i a Slu inn mm methas reacne,i high water mark as a ground so that there would be no wheat exporting country. The in necessity for a stairway. . creasing poi,ulaticu OVer there has some time in November the bees ; reached the point when home con should be prepared to be carried into ; suniption ,s becoming annually great tne cellar. The covers of the hives ' er in proportion than the increase in will, of course, all be sealed down j wheat production.

But the hives should all over there as the land becomes more be Cone over riml lru.ccncl rn, ., f . . . . . .... -i i bottom boards, so'that when you come to pick the hives up there will be no snap or jar. Whenever the weather turns cold and the indications are for its continuance the hives can be picked up from the bottom board and carried very gently into the cellar. Great care should be exercised at this time rot to arouse the bees, as ws io not want them to fill them selves with honey, as it will probably be five months or more before they will have a cleansing flight. This work can best be performed by two persons, one taking the hive on each end and carrying it between them. Lay on the cellar floor two joists or wall strips on their edge, place the hives on them six or eight inches apart. The next tier of hives is placed on top of the first tier, each hive rest ing un the two under it; the next tier is followed up in the same way until you have them as high as the cellar will permit. The reason for this man ner of piling is to give the bees ample bottom ventilation and to allow the dead bees to drop out of the way. This will also permit the beekeeper to inspect his bees at any time. By trking a dark lantern and holding a lookingglass tinder the hive he can see right up into the cluster. Have a thermometer in the cellar and try to keep the temperature be tween 40 and 50 degrees. Visit the cellar occasionally to ascertain if the bees are quiet. If they seem to be un easy at times a little more ventilation will probably quiet them. Have as little noise and as little light as pos sible. -wx,.t-u ""in mc In the late autumn give the lawn a covering of well-rotten ttable ma nure, spreading it evenly over the ground, and let it be during the win ter. Do not use coarse, fresh manure and litter, as this will bring a great many more weed seeds that will spring up the next season. If old. rotted manure cannot be supplied, then give a dressing or some good commercial fertilizer, at the rate of about 200 pounds to the acre. It is advisable always to use such tertilizer instead of stable manure on lawns im mediately adjacent to the house, as the disagreeable appearance and odor of the latter are quite objectionable in such a place. FRUIT CULTURE IN THE OZARKS. According to the late report by the United States pomologist. the state of Missouri, no doubt, has within its borders the best land for the growing of the apple. The Ozark country is known as the "Land of the Big Red Apple." and will soon be. or in fact it is now. the "apple bin of the world." It is nothing now to hear of commer mercial orchards being planted occupy, ing areas of trom one thousand to two and three thousand acres. The fruit culture areas in the. great Ozark plateau is gradually expanding and is doing more to bring Missouri up to first place as a fruit-growing state than all other sections of the state combined. The tremendous strides made in this direction in the last half dozen years is almost incon ceivable. And the next half dozen years will s:e an equal, if not still greater, advance. Will it be overdone? No. That cry has been heard ever since the first commercial orchard be gan to bear fruit. The markets aro expanding with production: consump- I tion of fruits is increasing at a tre- ! mentions mto hpcirt ,t,Q r....;. .-.. , ing area where especially the larger . fruits can be grown for shipment is ' comparatively limited.

"When one begins to feel the need of a coat after the sun goes down it is time the cows should be stabled. It is not possible for a cow to do her best in the dairy and in return be forced to remain out all night in the chilly atmosphere. We begin stabling our cows about the middle of Septem ber. Behind our cows we have about eight feet of gutter to hold and absorb all the liquid of the stable. Thus gut ter also catches all the dropping?, making it an easy task to clean ou and keep clean e-en when the cow are on green pasture. We believe ev ery barn should be furnished witi such an arrangement; it helps to keel the cows clean and also saves manurt elements that would othcrvi be IcsL" EVERY WALK IN LIFE, A. A Boyce. a farmer, living three and a half miles from Trenton, Mo., says: "A se- vere cold set tled in my kidneys and developed so quickly that I was obliged to lay off work on ac count of the aching in my back and sides. For a time I was enable to walk at all, and' every make shift I tried and all the medicine I took had not the slightest effect. My back continued to grow weaker until I be gan taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and I must say I was more than surprised and gratified to notice the back ache disappearing gradually until it finally stopped."

Not only is this the i stallment of Thomas W. Lawson's case, but a considerable quantity of the best Canadian -wheat is being im ported into Minnesota and also Chi cago. All this tends to keep the price of wheat near the dollar mark, and "dol lar wheat" is the loadstone that will attract farmers to the Canadian Northwest, where land is cheap and can be farmed on a wholesale basis. particulars of which may be had from any Canadian Government Agent. The reduction of American exports will have the double influence of in- creasing Canadian production ana keeping up the price. It constitutes a roseate prospect for this country, and needs no exercise of optimistic enthusiasm to foresee the near expan sion of the Dominion into the actual position of the "granary of the em pire."
