Cold does not destroy many kinds at all, while others go down in the earth below the reach of frost. Itis the warm winter, during which the earth alternately thaws and freezes, which increases their Habil- ity to destruction, When tie ground is warm it becomes damp after a rain, and should the ground then saddenly freeze the result is fatal. To withstand cold, then, the insect ust be protected against dampness, lustinct prompis it to guard sgainst sudden changes of tem- perature, Hggs ure glu-d to the limus of trees are protected to insure hatching in the spring. and thousands of lading places are utilized to protect thoss that seek seclusion under suelter, EXPOSING INSECTS TO COLD, 'While the farmer can accomptish much by examining and cleaning his trees and vines us far as he is able to do so, a8 well as burning all refuse and stubble, he can do the insects heavier damage by plow- ing his fields as soon as the ground will permit. If not prevented by the frost the ground should be turned up, and mahy insects will thus be brought to the surface, in & condition of helplessuess, the first rain; followed by freezinz of the ground, putting au end to then, cocoons being softened by the moisture and broken by the frost: Fields that are overrun with cutworms can be ridden of them in this manner if the plowing is deep, and while the work may not de- stioy all «! them on very heavy sod ground; yet it will greatly reduce them in numbers, As stated above, however, the best results olitained in insect exter- ternined to destroy them ; but the'indi- vidual farmer can accomplish much by seeking to protect his own farm, and using the plow for that purpose when- ever an oppurtunity is atforded for so doing. DECEMBER ON THE FARM. value, owing to its Lulk, which makes the transportation of such material to market too costly, but when'it is cut up fine, and fed with grain, it will be more than doubled in value. It may not equal other foods, but it is worth some- thing, and should be utilized to the best advantage, If apolied to bedding pur- poses it will be of greater value when cut, as the refuse can then be more con- veniently used as an absorbent in the manure heap. Forty years ago, when such four-mile race horses as Boston, Fashion, Eclipse and Henry were famous, the principal coarse food given them wns the blades of corn, known as bundled corn fodder, prepared by stripping the leaves fron the stalks, making them into small bundles, and allowing them to cure by hanging the bundles from the stalls, | Tue corn fodder was considered better | and cleaner than hay. being considered a safeguard against heaves, If it was 80 valuuble then, it should possess equal merit now, snd especially as the rucers of former days frequently ruced four- mile heats, There is plenty of work on the farms even when enforced idleness exists in the cities, Why is the farmer at a loss to procure help while hundreds are seek- ing empl yment? It is perhaps because farm work never ends. There are no regular hours. The farm hand rises early and works late, In his favor, however, 18 the fact that he has but | few expenses, board and lodging being | provided, his wages being nearly clear. | His work is often every day in the week, | and his opportunities for advaucement | or education limited, though there ure | exceptions in many cases, * The small potatoes are wotth hearly as | muen per bushel, in food value, on the | farm, as the larger ones. They may not | be salable, but the pigs will care nothing | for the size, and will accept them as | readily as they will the best. 'When the leaves are allowed to go to waste there is but little nctual loss m that manner, but it means a loss of valu« able manure that might have been saved Dy using the leaves as an absorbent. Do not lose sight of the fact that all animals on the rarm are kept for profit, 1t should not be satisfactory to keep an animal through the winter at a stand. still, looking to the spring and summer for the increase, The winter is the sea- gon when the Grosiest gdin should be made, as the labor can then be wore conveniently bestowed to the cure and feading of stock. Keeping food before stock causes the animals to refuse it at some time, All kinds of stock prefer variety, and will thrive better when fed at regular periods, It is an indication of laziness when the troughs are kept full, and it is also a waste of food. The best method of keeping hens in good laying condition is to afford tliem a scratching place. The grain should be scattered in leaves, cut straw, or even dirt, so as to compel them to work. Idleness is & vice that leads to egu-euting and feather pulling, preventing that con. dition which promotes egg production.
