Commence winter with a well 
digested, regular, neat, and tho¬

save hay — thresh grain early, to 
elude the rats — draw wood, saw 
wood — draw muck from drained 
swamps to spread over barn yards.

SEASONABLE HINTS. 
The work for the past season being now closed, the 
farmer has a most important part yet to act—that is, 
preparing for the next. He has worked hard for many 
months past, and has, per¬ 
haps, fine herds of cattle, 
sheep, swine, &c., to carry 
through the winter. He 
has also collected, by hard 
labor, large stores of pro- 
vender. Now, in order that 
this provender may be most 
economically consumed— 
and in order that next 
spring may dawn upon fine, 
plump,healthy animals—he 
must see to them himself. 
“ If you would have a faith¬ 
ful and intelligent servant, 
serve yourself/’ said Dr. 
Franklin, and “ diligence 
is the mother of good luck.” 
A rich, thrifty, money¬ 
making farmer of our ac¬ 
quaintance, who keeps scores of fine cattle, lays his 
own hand on the back of every one of them, without 
missing a day through winter. He knows in a moment 
by the touch, whether they are well cared for. 
Animals, to thrive to best advantage, must be kept 
clean, comfortable, and fed with great regularity. Cold, 
dirt, fretting beyond the regular time for food, suffering 
A monthly journal of 
Agriculture, Horticulture, and Rural Economy. 
Single copy, $1—Seven copies for $5—Fifteen for $10. 
CF* Every Farmer and Gardener should order this—the best 
Agricultural Journal—for the next year. Each number consists of 
thirty-two pages, of the same size and style as this Almanac. 
Letters addressed to LUTHER TUCKER, Editor Cultivator, 
Albany, N. Y., will be promptly attended to. 
for water—all these waste the flesh, and consume the 
profits. x 
Dr. Franklin said that 11 one to-day is worth two to¬ 
morrows,” and every far¬ 
mer should do as much as 
practicable through win¬ 
ter, to save time next sum¬ 
mer. He should draw, 
cut, and house his fire 
wood; repair tools, oil 
harness; make feeding 
racks and boxes for his 
animals; repair out-build¬ 
ings; prune orchards; 
make fruit ladders; and 
above all, examine the best 
modes of practice in all the 
departments of farming, 
by reading—by ascertain¬ 
ing wherein consisted the 
success of the best farmers 
of the country, to enable 
him to do which, he should 
not only subscribe for “ The Cultivator.” hut study 
each number, as it comes to hand, thoroughly, and he 
will in this way obtain a vast amount of information, 
which he will find a source of profit as well as pleasure, 
through the labors of the year. 
Feed all fattening animals with perfect regularity— 
enough, but not too much.
