Farmer and Stockman. ‘ ‘ All'odd jobs of. work should: now be cleaned up, preparatory: to fath- ering the corn crop,’ag it will be here before we scarcely realize it.’ Then, most of these jobs cannot’ be-done after the corn harvest, because of the condition of the weather, ground, etc, Late fall plowing, repairing of fences, setting all posts for any build- ing or fencing, repairing the. corn cribs, tacking up cracks about the barn—these and dozens of other odd pieces of work about the farm, if cleaned up now, will save you much time, labor and patience when you get right down to business in| corn husking and don’t want to stop.

People are coming to understand more and more that it is the many little things which count up and total the big things; so you, Mr. Farmer can realize a neat saving by taking the wife and children into the garden one of these fine, fall days and se- lecting all kinds of seeds for next year’s planting. There’s no tse in sending away for these seed sup- plies every spring, when the money paid out for them had as well be saved. Gather the various seeds, see that they are properly cured be- ing put away, and store them in clean cloth bags or glass jars, Inspect jthem occasionally during the winter, to guard against the worms, bugs or moth stealing a march on you and | destroying them. Prices of all kinds of grain are lower than they have been for some time, but this does not worry the farmer who has stock enough to eat all the grain raised on his farm. It is the farmer who will not have any chores to bother him who is hit. A coat of whitewash on the inside of the barn and other outbuildings will make them lighter and cleaner and make the work of doing chores a little more pleasant on dark, win- try days.

We are thankful to Jack Frost for hitting the fly such a tremendous swat, but it must be remembered that he could not do this without tak- ing the strength out of most of the feed in the pastures and fields. Milk cows will need a little more feed at the barn after this in order to do their best at the pail. Many silos will be filled with frost- bitten corn this year. * This isa new experience to most of the silo men in this vicinity and will be watched with interest by those who intend to build. It might be well to note the differ- ence in the silage where a liberal amount of water was used at the time of filling and where there was none. Any time from now until snow flies will do for cleaning up the road- sides and fence rows and no one will say that it is not good work if well done, but it isa little like strewing flowers‘on the coffin of a neighbor with whom no friendly word was passed before it was too late.
