_J*S*r We hope that all our friends will use a
little effort to increase our circulation. Those
who are receiving the Farmer on time will fa-
ror us if they can spare us a little money soon.
The greatest object, however, is to increase our
eubscription list. Indiana should not require
os to pay out $100 a month from private resources.

DUTIES OP THE MONTH.
The principal work of the farm during
this month is to gather the corn. The
late and unfavorable spring put the corn
back so that it will be unfit to crib until
quite late; when it is sufficiently hardened all the available force should be set
at it.
The best way to gather corn is to have
two teams, one unloading while the other
is loading; two men and a boy to gather
and one to unload; take five rows at a
time—drive over the middle row—the
two men to gather the side rows while
the boy gathers up the middle row behind the wagon ; then throw it into the
wagon, not on the ground to be picked
up afterward, which makes double work
and fills the corn with dirt, so that stock
does not like to eat it.
Potatoes should be taken up and put
in the dry before this time. They should
always be dug and put away before the
cold fall rains; they are easier dug, dryer
and less dirt will stick to them, and they
will keep better.
Now, too, is the time to sec thatall the
stock is well furnished with shelter.—
Cold nights are coming on, and stock
feel the effect of and suffer as much from
the cold rains of November as from the
dry cold blasts of January. And if you
are not careful, your stock will be losing
flesh before you aro aware of it, and in
consequence will be harder to winter.—
Most farmers provide shelter for their
horses, cattle and sheep, while their hogs
have to take care of themselves. Now,
this is wrong. Hogs suffer as much and
you lose as much by not providing a
good warm place for them to sleep as by
any other stock. To convince you of
this fact, all we want is that you divide
