This isa job that cannot be left for a snowy day. It is to be hoped that every farmer who had corn to cut stayed on the job long enough to cut a supply that will last through the winter. Where there is standing corn the sound of the ears rattling in the box sounds as pleasant as itever did, but we are beginning to notice the waste of feed in the stalk field more than ever before. The miles of hog-tight fence that were built this year have caused a great many to try the experiment of hogging down corn. This is an easy way to feed the hogs and save the work of husking and when there is no snow, very little can be said against it, but it is possible to overdo any good thing. No matter how good the farm build- ings may be the work of doing the | chores seems to be greater when win- ter first sets in than at any other time. The cattle must be broke to know their places and the chore man must be broke todo his work just right. When the breaking in is over the work seems easy. This year it was not necessary to spray the apple trees in order to have fruit that is free from worms. If spraying will make them that way every year we should study up on the question and prepare to spray early and often. It was rather amusing to read the articles in the city dailies urging read- ers to get up early to see the comet a few weeks ago. It was worth getting up tasee on clear mornings, but it did not seem like an early rising com- et to farmers, who were husking corn. If anything on earth is more disa- greeable than walking behind a tool you can ride on I am sure! don’t known what itis. There are days, and frequently at this season of the year, too, when it is much more disa- greeable to ride on the seat of a sulky plow than itis to walk behind and drive, however disagreeable that is. Iam. not so lazy that I will freeze rather than walk, but I notice my legs do not work as smoothly as they did a few short years ago. Riding is easier than walking now. ; There is one way to do more-harm to a road than good, which is to make side. Where there isa rather deep soon prove a detriment.

Hart, Butler, t, he gets information from all cities on the demand for labor. He thinks of giving up his trade for the farm; says he is tired of living up his summer’s wages during the winter. Ne In a way, farming is different from any other occupation on earth. ‘Take the instance of the corn being best on the spring plowing, perhaps it would work out just opposite next season and turn back again the, next. One can never tell just how a certain meth- od is going to work until too late to make a change. Weather rules the farmer with an iron hand, while in most other businesses the weather cuts very little figure, except as it af- fects the crops in a general way. A neighbor wishes it said that a pint of crude oil to each pail of slop, fed once a day, will prevent if not cure the cholera. This is only an- other of the many cholera preventives and remedies that folks are apt to have a great deal of confidence in un- til the “show down,’’ when all are! very apt to fail. I have a friend who| had the cholera in his herd this fall. He had a remedy of his own. That failed, so he began trying the pet remedies of his neighbors with no better success. A remedy for hog cholera is a good deal like natural gas for heat, good until you really need something of the kind. Starts Much Trouble. If all people knew that neglect of constipation would result in severe indigestion, yellow jaundice or viru- lent liver trouble they would soon take Dr. King’s New Life Pills, and end it. It’s the only safe way. Best for biliousness, headache, dyspepsia, chills and debility. 25c at F. T. Clay’s. Notice of Annual Meeting of Charlotte Telephone Co.

A friend suggests that the yield is not there this year, which accounts for the slow husking, but I am willing to admit that some of the slowness is in me. After a fellow gets past thirty, even, he loses out with the husking peg. For those who can use a hook husker handily they save a great deal of wear on the hands. Now and then a husker finds them unhandy to use, 80 sticks to the old peg. The peg is hard on the thumb ofthe peg hand and it cannot be worn over mittens as easily as the hook. For my part I will take the hook every time. : FARMERS BANK BUTLER.
