GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. 



look as if the owner hart lost all interest in the work 

 which he no doubt took up with enthusiasm a few 

 months ago. Now, wlij- not jro into winter with 

 every thing: neat and tidj^ and clean? Pull up the 

 old pea-vines, and put them in the compost heap. 

 As fast as green corn is taken from the stalks, pull 

 these stalks up by the roots, and give them to the 

 cattle or horses. The corn is worth very much 

 more for fodder j ust as soon as the ears are jjlucked 

 than it will be after it has dried up; besides, just as 

 soon as jou have gathered the crop from any plant, 

 if the stalk remains standing it is virtually a weed, 

 exhausting the soil, and eating up the manure that 

 perhaps has cost you quite a little. If you have not 

 time by daylight, do it by moonlight; and there are 

 few people who are not benefited by just such out- 

 door exercise. Let passers-by know that some one 

 lives on that spot of ground. Make your children 

 love the sight of home better than any other place 

 on earth. No matter if you have money in the 

 bank, you will enjoy life better to gather up the 

 odds and ends and make every thing count. If you 

 are poor, and in debt, '11/ nif means gather up the 

 odds and ends, and let nothing go to waste. If your 

 health is poor, no city doctor, even though you pay 

 him twenty-flve dollars to look you over, can do you 

 as much good as that outdoor work in the dirt and 

 in the open air, with the prattling little ones by 

 your side drinking down the example you set them.
