The farmer who waite for spring to appear before he begins his year' e work will find himself unable to accomplish'az much as he intended when the busy season arrives. The first operation is preparing the ground by plowing. Neih. ing can be done as long as the frost keeps the earth in a, lard condition, but an open winter offers many favorable oppor- tunities for plowing. Where the ground is level; and not suleject to "washings" from rains, the manure can be hauled out and spread over the surface, when it will be rendered fine by frost. When the plow comes along and turns the manure under it will be more complete- ly decomposed by the time the corn is to be planted. The early plowing also turns up the insects, which are more easily destroyed by cold and warm weather than by cold only. 000 BROTHERS, SEAFORTH and BRUSSELS. Executors' Notice.

Wheat is often thrown up when the season varies, and unless the plants are pressed back into the soil with the roller some of the plants Indy be injured. Wheat, however, rarelY fails if it makes a good start in the fall, where the land is suitable, The most important matter is to, give it a better send-off in spring. This is done by harrowing the field with a smoothing harrow, which will not pull up the plants' but loosen the surface soil. As soon as the season opens this ahonld be done, and an application of 50 or 100 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre given, which will make a market difference in the growth of the plants as soon as the ground begins to become warm. Manures serve -best on corn land, but the garden should also receive * large share. For wheat, oats and rye soluble fertilizers are better than manure in the spring. LIME AND GRAS& cue interior nay. to S. valuable tood by giving a greater feeding value to the ra- tion. Sheep and cattle are not averse tee eat- ing straw, even when well fed: It is nothing unusual to find them at the straw stack and taking a change of coarse food. This fact detnonstrates that straw may be added to tile regtuar ration-, which will be relished by the stock and cost less than when hay is given alone. 1..i0OJKL 'Every-b:o.dy. .

We have some new designs in ( TRUNKS AND VALISES, -FtarlY in the seasoh is an excellent time to apply lime, ad as to permit the frequent rains to ewe' it down. No crops respond so well, to lima as clover and pasture grasses. The lime acts chem. loony on the soil, thus liberating plant food and adding warmth. Potash,nitrate of soda and superphosphates are superior to lime, but the low wet of the latter should induce its use. The grass crop is the most important one•on dairy farms, and should be given an application of mixed fertilizers every spring, but the effect of the fertilizers will be more no- ticeable if they are applied early,as'some kinds are only slowly soluble, such as plaster, and if the work is done before the busy mason comes, it will be time saved. Rye is the earlieit crop on the farm, and thefertilizer for it can hard- ly be applied too soon, dent much de- pends on the label. There is oae point in favor of lime on gram land, which . . is, that any expense in its use is sure to be returned sooner or later, as it is a necessary ingredient in the food of all plants. • The non -setting . breeds of feeds al- . ways lax eggs that are white; while tne breeds that become broody, end set, lay dark eggs. The color of the shell does hot indicate the quality of tne egg. The hog receives more cold food than any other animal. The 6100 often be- comesfrozen in the trough. When the hog is compelled to eatfood that is.in half -frozen condition, or when the ice on the trough must be broken to allow it to drink, there will be a loss of animal heat, and' the loss will have to be replac- ed by more food. It 'does not pay to warm the food within the body, of the annual, it is cheaper to give warm food and add to the animal's comfort and thrift. • Milk and eggs bring in returns daily, and are sources of revehue at this sea- son, when. there is -nothing else on th'e farm to sell at an advantage. ••••••••••••••••mialkomma• Although -corn is regarded as the best food for . fattettine the hogs, yet the sweet potato is ahead of is for that pur- pose.

The quantity of spirit entered for consumption lest year was 2,731,896 proof gallons, or an inoreaee ne 180,000 gallons hi the year. The quantity held in Stock on Any 1st, 1893, was the largest by nearly hen a Million gallons ,that has been held by Canadian distilloo, amounting to 13,502,814 gallons, as agaiesi, an average during the preceding four years of 11,57006 gallons. It is interestiug to note the gradual development of the foreign demand for Canadian die - allay products. The quantity exported in 1889 wits 8 731 gallons ,• in 1891, 20,497 ; iu 1893, 51,239 gallons, This increare is belieeed to be largely due to the fact that the Government guarantee of age—the regulations requiring that the liquor must remaiu itt bond for two years be- fore being sold for consumption—is becom- ing known and appreciated abroad, the en- forced maturing improving ilits quality. Mr. Miall, the commissioner, believes that Can - median whiskies will soon constitute an ap- preciable proportien of the exports of man- afecitured goods. nThe total quantity of malt taken for non - gumption last year was 50,082,751 pounds, ' being about two millions and a Waif leas than the average of the peep five years. The quantity manufactured shows a similar fall- ing off. Of tobacco 10,596,633 pounds were manufactured, the average for the previous four years being 9,785,151 pounds. There was a greater ,consumption of tobacco hilt year by 300,000 pounds than in any of the previous four pearl,. There were manufac- tured during the year 114,340,490 cigars, an increase of 14,000,000 over the average. The new way 40 grovr onions is to sow the seed in hot beds about six or9eight weeks before they are to be transplanted.

By a new method the sets are groivn from the seed in the hot bed within n few weeks, instead of losing a years time for that purpose. House $or Storing Fruit. WINTER FARM WORK. Thie is the Time to Study the Art of Beedine----Notes. A single male may become the sire of one hundred young animals in a year. but not so with the dams, which may produce but one young each, in that time. The Inale is ,consequently one- half of the herd or flock if improvement is the object, and the relative cost of. grading up from each dam is but little. The expense of improving the stock is a snaall item; though farmers are prone to regard better wok as pertly. Males can also be purchased for less than their real value when the breeders are com- pelled to sell, in order to reduce their stock. - IDOAR FOR SERVIGE.-An Improved. Yorkshire 1) Boar for service.

OUDMORE, Lumley P. O. 1357-tf Imported Skiorthlorns. On very few farms, even where fruit is made one of the leading nroducts of the soil, are -suitable accommodations provided for the convenient and most ecouemical handling and storing of fruit. A bending entirely devoted to grain is a very common sight, and this, too, where grain is not made the most important .crop upon the farm. There would ap- pear to be no reasoa why fruit should not have a place provieted for its accom- modation as well as grain, especially as fruit requires more exact conditions as to temperature, and mpisture. A house cellar where apples, pears and other limit are usually stored is, in the majority of cases, entirely unsuited for such a purpese since the same place is used for the string of potatoes, roots and various other pro- ducts of the soil, and is often, morepver, either too warm or too oold for tne 'best preservation of fruit., -Where any January Work. AY ALLEN PRINGLE, SILT, orre. While there is not much to be done to the bees in January, what little there is is im- portant. Theo in proper winter repositories properly fixed require but very little atten- tion, while these net so conditioned might require a, geed deal sr lose would result. In the former case the entrances should be ex- amined, and the dead obstruotiag it re- moved to give a free exitand ample ventila- tion. Then, if the floor of the repository Is strewed with dead bees, as it always will be more or less, those should be removed before they become a nuisance. The floor should be covered literally with dry saw- dust, and fresh lime placed around kers and there. Bees wintered outside should be looked after new and then eepecially after heavy snow stermnte see that the entrances are kept clear. It sometimes happens that during a cold veil the entrances will become completely filled with ice from within—the heat of the bees melting the frost which oollects on the inside of the hive, when it rune down and out, seedils frozen in the entrance. This must ba at- tended to. Many farmers still nee the "old box hive" for their bees. These if ' being wintered in the cellar, where the tinn- perature ranges from 40 to 50 degrees Fehr., would be an the batter inverted—that is, tamed "upside down" and "down side up." Don't be frightened. It will not hurt them to "stand on their heads." I re- member that about forty, years ago, when my father kept some fifty or minty colonies in the "old box hive," he used to winter them in a little house built for the purpose, filled in with sawdust four to mix inches thick all eound, still standing on the old homestead where I live and he used to stend the* all " tilieir heads," as the neighbors used to say. They wintered very well, and his lessee were comparatively small. The fernier bee -keeper with s few colonies in box hives need not, therefore, fear to turn hie hives bottom up when in the cellar, as they will be much more likely to come through all right that way than the other way. They should, however, be placed well up from the cellar 'floor—the nearer the ceiling the better. If turned up put a thielinas or two of woolen cloth or cotton and wool quilt over the open top.

Sugar beets will benoundexcellent for cows at this season. Whether beets are grown for sugar or for feeding they will prove valuable in winter.
