CONDENSED WISDOM.
It the ice house be filled at the
first opportunity. You may not have
another chance.
Hogs should be slaughtered as soon
as possible, in order to insure good
curing. 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.

THE ORCHARD.
Do not prune until after the leaves
fall. 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

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

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

TIME TO STABLE COWS.
"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

such an arrangement; it helps to keel

Myra Kelly's Tales.
"Uttle Citizens' is the title given
by McClure-Phillips to the book in1
.which are collected the stories or
school life east of the Bowery, by
Myra Kelly, which have been appear
ing in McCIure's Magazine the last
. year or so. Miss Kelly has certainly
! discovered a new field and developed
admirably the humor that there is in
I it. Eva Conorrowsky. Morris Moglle-
wski. Patrick Brennan. Nathan Spid
erwitz and. their companions make
plenty of fun with their antics, and
their dialect is certainly the most
extraordinary lierature has yet en
countered. As gathered in. the vol
ume, the stories give a very interest
ing peep into the life of the East
Side tenement classes and one sees
the pathos as well as thee humor of it.

"The Arena" (Boston. Mass.), un
der its sew management is more than
making good the promises of its edi
tor and publisher. Each month new
improvements are added and while its
distinct character as aa authoritative
reflector of the ablest literary and
progressive thought of the time is
maintained, it is also being popular
ized and rendered more attractive to
lovers of the artistic and the beauti
ful. The magnificent frontispieces
printed on India-tint paper in deepj
sepia ink have proved very popular.
r.nd the November Issue of "The'
Arena" contained two of these art pic
tures. The December issue contains j
tour: one. the portrait of Hon. Ed-.

of Joaquin Miller, a third of Prof.
